Nelson claims DOTM Mirage is now not Mirage and is Itallian

TransformerToys.co.uk has been updated with a new news story called Nelson claims DOTM Mirage is now not Mirage and is Itallian.

In a strange turn of events, which will no doubt turn out not to be true, Michael Bay\'s message board administrator Nelson posted the following comment on on ShootForTheEdit.com when asked about who the red robot in Transformers: Dark of the Moon was following on from a post by him that it was not Mirage.

\"All I will say is that he speaks with an Italian accent and is named after a famous Italian.\"

This can\'t be true as it will mean that Paramount will need to have hired a new voice actor to record all of Mirage\'s lines (possible) but also to have re-recorded any dialogue that names the character (though going by the first two movies this is also feasible if unlikely).  To make things worse the novelasation of the film refers to the character as Mirage, as does the toys as well as the prequel video game by Activision in which he speaks with an Arabian-based accent.

The post could just be a joke by Nelson to watch how far it will spread, a failed attempt as mi-information, or he could just be confusing the character that people were discussing with another robot.
