Haven't sene this asked yet, so apologies if it has but what did you think of the new TF movie? Bumblebee gave us Charbee and now ROTD gives us Noah/Mirage, I'm over the moon. (now give Optimus a cute human GF/BF, and Arcee a cute human GF so I can have a complete collection of human/TF m/f, m/m and f/f representation)
I gave my thoughts on Rise of the Beasts in this post!

Honestly, Mirage reads very much as Jazz. Not sure why they didn't go with him, tbh. But yeah, this Mirage seems very.. idk. In G1 (or at least popular fanon, I've only watched the first two seasons and that was years ago) he's a bit more emotionally distant. I think he was a noble back on Cybertron? He seems more open in the trailers.
That's exactly what I thought as soon as I heard him speak. I wondered why they didn't just make him Jazz, because that voice line, the way he fist-bumped the human, it definitely carried casual, confident attitude that screamed 'Jazz' all over it. I had this suspicion ever since I saw his alt mode, but now I'm 100% sure he was supposed to be Jazz but had his nametag switched around for some reason. They've already pulled the same bullscrap on Blitzwing in Bumblebee movie, if I remember correctly.
Although I kind of understand why they didn't choose Jazz, because he is closer to 'cool uncle figure' than 'perky young Autobot warrior'. There's definitely the element of maturity/seasoned soldier to his general character trait that makes him less appealing candidate for Bumblebee substitute...
... but then they somehow thought Mirage was okay, who also have seasoned soldier vibe on top of being significatly less friendly towards human culture or Earth. Yes, he's also less friendly towards anyone in general, as you mentioned how emotionally closed off he is.
Imagine the character potential. A WW1 soldier, the lone survivor of his now-gone noble house and possibly his entire country, who is stuck alone in some bumfuck nowhere filled with primitive civilization of tiny aliens. As he struggles to keep himself alive just one more day in an unfamiliar world constantly hiding from enemies that may or may not be here, his resolve and hope is on the brink of being lost... until he makes an amateur mistake and reveals himself to an unspecting human one day. Accidents, adventure, and tomfoolery ensues, and as the companionship between the human grows over time so does his will to fight on.
There had been so many 'relatable human character and cool robot sidekick' dynamics. When I saw Mirage's name on the roster, I thought perhaps I could expect somthing that was other way round. I still can't tell anything for sure from just trailers, but I fear that we're getting blue Bumblebee/young Jazz for protagonist for this movie. While there is a slim chance that his character would turn out to be much better and complex than that, I suppose we won't get to see any trace of his G1 self in character-wise.

I almost choked and died watching the first two episodes of Bang Brave Bang Bravern holy crap- If the Lost Light crew was a headache to Megs, Bravern would single-handedly cause him to have 2 spark failures and put him into 4 year long coma

Trans Man Noah Diaz
The first time I saw Rise of the Beasts, I read Noah as a Trans Man, and that headcanon just solidified after my second viewing.
I’ll get the heavy reasons out of the way first, and work down to the most silly ones.
The section that was here before has been removed, because I was overstepping and someone rightly called me out on it. However. I’m not going to lie and pretend I didn’t do what I did. I deleted the comment that called me out because it made me feel bad, I panicked, and deleted it to save my own ego. It was wrong, it was cowardly, it was fucked up, and I shouldn’t have done it.
I truly am sorry, and have spent the last day sitting with myself until I stopped trying to excuse my behavior and just acknowledged what I did. I am not asking for forgiveness, I can only try going forward to be the kind of person deserving of it.
For now, I’m taking a break from this blog, leaving it on a queue, and I won’t be posting here for a while. Even though that isn’t the kind of person I want to be, I need to reckon with the fact that that is the kind of person I am. I’m sorry, once again.
1994 was also the year Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was put into place, which, for those too young to remember, was basically a policy allowing queer and trans people to serve in the military so long as they remained closeted, and prohibited superiors from forcibly outing them. Given that we’re never actually told in the film why Noah was discharged, it’s not unreasonable to think that it may have been because he got found out as trans.
The part that’s particularly personal for me is his relationship with Kris. I’ve also got a little brother that’s quite a bit younger than me, and I acted as an extra parent to him, practically raised him since we were both latchkey kids, and yeah, there’s no doubt in my mind that I’d face the apocalypse head on if it meant keeping him safe. All that to say, it’s comforting to think that Noah’s identity as a man is inseparable from his identity as a Big Brother, the way it is for me.
Most of my other reasons are less serious:
Noah wears a lot of layers and baggy clothes on his upper half, which yes, was part of 90s fashion, but it’s also how I dressed for most of my life, even before I realized I was trans.
Noah is also non-toxically masculine in a way that’s not unheard of but also not as common for men, especially service members, of that time period. Again, there may very well be a cultural component I’m missing here, let me know if there is, but this is just something I related to as a Guy Who Wasn’t Raised As One.
This last one’s kinda silly, but I’m a Car Guy, and one of the most gender euphoria inducing things I can do is work on my car. There’s few things that make me feel like Man quite like sweat on my brow and grease on my hands and a purring engine from a job well done. So for Noah to not only be a tech wiz but specifically a Mechanic? That was the thing that really sold me on this headcanon. (And that’s not even getting into the very fun implications of Noah being the one to repair Mirage, to get to know him so intimately, literally inside and out. Very nice.)
(I also love the idea that rather than being weirded out or taken aback at first like he is in some fics, Noah would be kinda weirdly affirmed to find out that not only does Mirage have some of roughly the same *equipment* while still being treated as and being a Mech, but his setup is the norm for Cybertronians. I can so picture Noah anxiously telling Mirage about his situation when they finally get together only for Mirage to be like “you mean other human mechs don’t have a 🐈??? Like, most humans only have one or the other?????”)

Still unsure how to feel about ROTB Mirage
Don't get me wrong, I like this guy. He's cool, and I look forward to see more of him on screen. But I still think there's something about him that doesn't click with the name 'Mirage'. Idk how to put this in words, but he's just... not...
Brand new interpretation of characters is always welcome, as long as there are actual 'interpretation' happening there. I think the writers didn't want actual 'Mirage' to be there, but rather just anyone who could replace Bumblebee. For someone who was really excited to see lesser known tf characters taking the main role, this doesn't feel okay.
If the writers really wanted a kid-appeal main other than Bumblebee, perhaps Hot Rod would have been a better choice? Or better yet Smokescreen? Someone like TFP Smokescreen sounds alright to me. If they wanted the hologram powers thing, even Hound could have been a choice to consider if you think about the G1 version.
Still, it's impossible to judge a character from just 30 sec clip. ROTB Mirage could be much more interesting than what's shown on the clip. I really need to see this movie to know it for sure. Who knows? I might actually end up liking him even more.

⚠️Suggestive dialogue text⚠️
Mirage is pretty dramatic and his words can be....misunderstanding…(lol)
(Noah is just helping to get the wrench that was stuck inside Mirage)
