Alternators Mirage doesn't look like G-1 Mirage. seems like alt mirage would make a better CR/RID Speedbreaker/sideburn updated homage mold.

CR/Rid speedbreaker/sideburn 2000/2001 alt mode is a liscensed Dodge Viper.

G-1 Mirage's 1984 alt mode was based off a indy 500 race care.

Alternators mirage car mode is based off a liscensed Dodge viper car mode.

I noticed the colors of CR/Rid speedbreaker/sideburn blue & white are exactly the same & in similar areas to the alternators mirage toy.

Since alternators mirage & CR/RID Speedbraker/sideburn are both based off the same liscensed dodge viper & have similar colors in almost the same areas. I'M GOING TO CONSIDER ALT MIRAGE AS A UPDATED HOMAGE MOLD FOR CR/RID SPEEDBREAKER/SIDEBURN.

Honestly the only thing missing is the flame decals but going to reprolabels & buying a tracks flame decal set should fix this problem.

Best of all the alternators mirage toy has what appears to be robotic sideburns on the sides of the face. so the head seems like its perfect for Hasbro Rid Sideburn.

no,but hasbro did call the toy sideburn. so to have a headsculpt with sideburns like alt mirage. is a homage to that name.

But didn't Takara design the head sculpt with the sideburns...? Dunno if I'm with you on this one.

Knowing Transformers, he'll be repainted and repackaged as Autobot Speedbreaker 2 at some point in the future anyway.
