G1 Transformers Toys – Mirage & Hound
Review video featuring some of the smallest two Autobot heroes Mirage & Hound. Mirage – he longs to return to cybertron and isn’t thrilled to be an Autobot Freedom Fighter. Can he be trusted?? Ability is to appear invisible for up to 6 minutes. Alternate vehicle mode, is a fantastic looking Ligier JS-11 Formula One Race Car. Hound – Brave, Fearless and secretly desires to be human. Ability to project highly realistic Holograms. Alternate mode is a great looking 4×4 Military type Jeep. Both characters toys originated from Diaclone Molds and have quite opposite personalties. Check It Out!!

Great review as always mate,,,,,,,,,, I have a question. On your hound figure Does your figure have a date under the takara or hasbro stamp?
I was wondering cause mine dosen’t
If you pull out hound’s shoulder that the missle launcher mounts to the arms can fold all the way down vertical.
your a dick
Were you even born during this time? And did you have your hands on a lot of Japanese toys back then? The cartoons were made to promote and sell the toys. That’s how it works. Same with GI Joe, MASK, He-Man, etc. They took existing Diaclone toys, made a few changes, and created a cartoon series to market it. How is this taking advantage of people? You have the option to be interested in it and buy it. I didn’t own a single He-man toy, but not because I thought they were scamming me.
Wrong.there where other Toys back then to compare. Japanese toys and replicas.that looked better than the originals.you’re the one who’s talking trash here. I sustain my argument Hasbro was taking advantage of the Transformers Brand to sell Toys that didn’t do any Justice to the Series.
You’re talking out of your ass now. This has nothing to do with Hasbro scamming kids 25 years ago with cheap toys. As far the rest of it, its a movie, based around a cartoon to catch a target audience in the late 20′s early 30′s from a nostalgic point of view. You can compare new toys to old toys all you want, but you can’t say Hasbro was scamming kids then. What was there to compare to? Go Bots? I doubt there are many that feel they were duped at that age. Probably happy to have them.
I bet sniper22mag you’re the kind of people who think the new movie of the Transformers is faithful to the Original models…..
Sure not then Probably if you don’t give a Horseshit about those Toys then you’re not fit to make the best opinion about them.
Oh bullshit. Adults could give a rats ass 20 years ago about this stuff. Today, yes I can see. It wasn’t much of a deal then. Look at the percentage of the population over the age of 14 that gives a rats ass about collector grade toys and see what you come up with. In the end, its not that big of a deal. In the 80′s toys were marketed to a target audience. Back then, that didn’t include adult collectors. What you are saying is horseshit.
its fucking toy? sniper22mag come on!!!!! if these where just fucking toys there wouldn’t be so Important for you making a comment abut them.
reason why I’m making these comments its because these toys matter. physiologically some things that Happen in your childhood reflect who you become,thats why you came here.and posted a comment on a toy that you said didn’t matter. but is does matter you just don’t admit it.
Did he just point with a He-Man sword?
scammed kids? Its a fucking toy. Thats what it was intended to be. Nothing more. Do you think Hasbro sat there in 1984 thinking that someday there would be shitloads of people doing reviews of 25 year old kids toys? They weren’t designed to be sold to adults. When I was a kid, $12 for Starscream wasn’t just a drop in the bucket. Kids don’t need that kind of quality. What kid today, aside from some spoiled ass punk can afford a masterpiece Prime as something to play with?
yeah they scammed the kids all-over the 80′s with those shit toys. and the worse of it all is that there’s still ppl who defend the Hasbro for what they did.its shit. I’ve seen the toys of that era,the Japanese had better toys than the western kids all because a corrupted company and media.
masterpiece megatron=shit
Oh god, what, WHAT?!
I can’t wait for Hasbro/Takara to re-issue Mirage. hopefully soon.
Love G1 Hound! He’s such a handsome, smart looking character/toy. (female Transfan) Great that you gave the tip to get him with his accessories, as he does have a few, and they’re important to complete him (like his spare tyre and fuel can).
Average day toys are poo, maybe nto original, but the older ones were made better…
I’m sorry but my opinion is the following the 80′s toys where made to scam kids,bad quality toys with no Originality.Toys are better made these days.thanks god they made the Masterpiece Transformers that way I can buy the former transformers generation with some decent resemblance of what those toys should of being made of.
No he didn’t.
Mirage dies in the movie??
