Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is now open for business at your nearest theater! With Steven Caple Jr. (Creed II) directing, the 2023 film is the first film in the franchise after Bumblebee (2011) gave it a soft reboot. Two sequels for the latest film have already been confirmed, and the end of the current film may have given us one clue about who’s returning.
Anyone who’s not seen the film and is currently reading this article? Well, what are you waiting for? Get off! Okay, now – for the rest of you, let’s continue.
Mirage is a new addition to the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and is responsible for bringing Noah to help in the war against Unicorn. Voiced by Pete Davidson (SNL), the character steals the show in the movie, but not even that saves him from his fate later in the film.
In the final fight, Mirage sacrifices himself to save Noah from Scourge –don’t worry, he didn’t die. To preserve his life force, he shapeshifts into a mechanical body armor for Noah. Turning into the human-sized transformer suit saved him from dying, but the change meant he couldn’t revert to his original form.
Mirage’s transformation into the body armor and his previous move to remove one of his parts to make a glove for Noah explains a little about the Autobots’ physiology. We learn that their parts are interchangeable and can be used to make smaller designs separate from their entirety. However, this theory is put to the test in the post-credits scene.
Here’s the answer for those wondering if the film has a credits scene and, if so, how many. The film has one mid-credits scene, which starts to play after a few credits roll, but don’t hang around for a second one after all the credits are finished – you’ll only find disappointment.
The mid-credits scene opens with Noah working on a car in New York, using illegal parts brought by Reek, who was shocked to his core when the car came alive and started to talk. If you’re still not clued in, that’s Mirage – Noah used ordinary old car parts to bring to life an alien lifeform that only disguises itself as a vehicle on Earth.
It doesn’t track, right? However, you’re not getting any explanation for this in the near future. He fully returns, but if he was so close to death, wouldn’t he also have needed an Energon energy surge, as explained previously in Bumblebee? I don’t know if this is a plot hole or something that will be resolved in one of the sequels, but I’ll assume it’s the latter.
Nevertheless, Noah and Mirage will return, but here lies another question. Will it be in Transformers 8 or in a G.I. Joe movie cameo? What are your theories? Let us know in the comments below.
