You know me, I you always did go a bit soft on jeeps.

nice. :D love your take on 'raj, and i agree he's not to be trifled with!

Many thanks - glad you appreciate :D I sometimes get a few tut-tuts for un-fluffy Mirage but I find him more exciting like this :-)

And thanks for pointing out typo - corrected !!

oh i didn't even notice the typo! i just quoted that line 'cause i thought it was great. XD

marksman...spy...formula one racecar...none of these sound fluffy to me either. 's why he's one of my favourites!

Oh LOL! Well thanks anyway :-)

Yep - add that he's the only one who can use an ED and is a hand to hand combat expert - heck, he knocked out TC and Skywarp single handed and saved Cliffjumper! Plus he's an ex rich-guy and although the fandom loves him as a 'noblemech,' in bios he is often portrayed more as a wealthy landowner socialite type - which I also like !!

It's great that he's one of your favourites :-)

"All contingencies are accounted for" sounds like famous last words, but still, Mirage is so kickaft, I love it! I want to squee at his ruthlessness. I really like how you bring him across as such a capable and ruthless mech, yet at the same time a very tactical mind, everything accounted for, coolly planned... I like how you write the friendship with Hound, too.

Thanks - I appreciate this feedback, cos having floundered around with Mirage all over the place in other fics (as you know!) I have arrived at this version, who is cool and capable and yes, very kickaft!

I like your other versions of Mirage, too! I hope you'll go back to them to continue your Mirage fic, but this version works really well as an opponent to the Combaticons. Will there be more with this version of Mirage, regardless whether Combaticon-related or not?

Yes - this version about to make an appearance in 'Substitute' and I have a few other ideas for him!

FFantasies (which I still really appreciate you faithfully reviewing) is undergoing a major reworking and I think that, maybe, that version of Mirage was the same but going through a 'dark time.' (as TF's do) LOL In any event, this version I find pretty 'switched on,' and quite powerful.
