Takara Tomy is showing off a nice display of Transformers War For Cybertron: Siege toy at Tokyo Toy Show. Via Twitter user @gadepon we have our first look at the Siege Deluxe Mirage Toy for your viewing pleasure.
We had seen the official renders of Mirage some time ago, and now we have a look at the toy in his robot and alt mode. A very nice rendition of the stealth Autobot warrior. The robot mode includes his classic shoulder cannon, and we can spot that some clear blue plastic on the toy. The alt mode is a clear nod to the original G1 Ligier JS11 racer, but with clear changes like a big (very big) rear spoiler.
We can also see other Siege toys like Impactor, Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime, Thundercracker and Omega Supreme among others. Omega is shown in both his robot and rocket base modes, and we can have a clear idea of his size next to the rest of the toys of different classes.

I'd rather say original voyager sized triple-changer mold.

Lolol. Got me hyped at first.

Prowl not having shoulder launchers makes sense though since they’re going for the cartoon look

I’m just happy they committed to giving Mirage his traditional weapon set. Gun, missile launcher and missile. I hated how they cheaped out on Sideswipe by not giving him a gun, Prowl for not giving him his rocket launchers and Hound for not giving him a missile…

I really like Mirage. Finally a damn shoulder cannon.
I agree the that Cybertronian look for the alt modes is very hit and miss. But I think all of the alt modes look good and fit the characters except Soundwave's, which just doesn't really look like anything. Then you have the Micromasters… Clearly this line developed out of something else originally as all the pieces don't fit. They changed directions with this line, whatever comes next likely won't have these issues.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, Mirage's alt. mode really doesn't quite hit that "cybertronian but still clearly homaging the '84 alt. modes" the way that of Siege Prime, Prowl or Ironhide does. I think the bot mode and the transformation will be fun enough for me to compensate for it, but I too would've preferred HasTak to go more in either of the two directions a little harder for this particular figure.
Mizzinno
Well, now I need an Energon Prowl head so I can re-do Mirage to go with my Ironhide that I'm converting to Inferno.
Edwardmus Prime
I thought that Mirage looked better than the other Deluxes at first but all that translucent plastic is terrifying plus he looks like he is going to be too wide and beefy just like Prowl and Sideswipe. This line is a tremendous disappointment.
geekatron prime
Mirage looks ok to me. Will be getting him as well as Impactor.

I'm liking Impactor and Mirage quite a bit and I'll be picking up both in September! Preordered on Amazon!
The ARISEN PRIME
Impactor looks nice
But mirage needs little more paint and face sculpture
testrun
I like how, because of the transformation, Mirage has horizontal butterfly joints

Mirage is really the tipping point for me, i wish this line would commit to doing either full Cybertronian modes or full G1 pandering. Like its just weird to me that we have Starscream and the seekers looking like tetrajets, but then Mirage is just a mostly earthy looking race car. Can you imagine if they made him a slick needle like space dragster? He looks fine, just not really
I know we got a bunch of the big hitters in the TR line, but just more Powermasters in general would be super fun. A leader triple changer Double Dealer would be amazing, put him in the same wave as that rumored leader Astrotrain and we got ourselves a party! (As much as I know there's no hope in hell i guess i just want another Overlord because the TR one felt so close yet so far.)
Thundershot
Well we are due… they said they were going to fill in the gaps…
cynw32618
Yes… Can you say Doubledealer/Stalker remold!
Thundershot
Now we just need CD Red Alert and we’ll be good to go on a boxed set!
Scypris
Not really liking either of these. This just makes me more salty that Wheeljack lost..

Mirage looks pretty great in robot mode. While I wish he had some wrist swivels, at the very least his ankle posability seems to be on point. As someone who's a casual admirer of racing cars at best, the alt. mode looks close enough to me, though I can see how a conoisseur of formula-1 vehicles could pick it apart, like the forearm-spoilers.
Poor Impactor's still the weakest link here, though the awkward pose he's put in here also doesn't do him any favors. Still gonna get him probably, since he's the first official character of the figure that isn'r a repaint or remold (as far as I can tell anyways).
cynw32618
While not G1 (& I’d much rather take a Straxus remold), I could really easily see Impactor remolded into Cybertron Defense Scattorshot with minimal new molding. Just swap the head, change the tank turret/arms and chestpiece around & you’re pretty much set!
