"Find me cards equivalent to: Volatile Chimera"

Closest equivalents in mono-red (R) with similar copy another creature mechanics:
1. Shapesharer – Blue, but does a similar copying effect, so does not match color criteria.
2. Flameshadow Conjuring – Red, creates a token copy of a creature that entered the battlefield under your control. Similar effect, but not exactly the same.
3. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker – Red, can copy another nonlegendary creature, though creates a token.
4. Molten Echoes – Red, also creates token copies.
5. Volatile Chimera – (requested card).

Short
Reason: Mono-red rarely gets permanent self-copy effects; most red copy abilities temporarily or tokenize. Volatile Chimera is unique in its randomness and pre-game exile. Closest effects are those that make temporary token copies: Flameshadow Conjuring, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Molten Echoes.

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any “as [this permanent] enters the battlefield” or “[this permanent] enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work.
  • If another creature becomes or enters the battlefield as a copy of the token, that creature won't have haste and it won't be exiled.
  • If the ability resolves during a turn's end step, the token will be exiled at the beginning of the next turn's end step.
  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • If the copied creature is copying something else when the ability resolves, then the token enters the battlefield as a copy of whatever that creature is copying.
  • If the token isn't exiled at the beginning of the next end step (perhaps because the delayed triggered ability is countered), it remains on the battlefield indefinitely. It continues to have haste.
  • The token copies exactly what's printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • The token is exiled at the beginning of the next end step regardless of who controls it at that time.

    Haste

    Rules

  • Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this permanent] enters the battlefield" or "[this permanent] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the copied creature card will also work.
  • If Kiki-Jiki's ability creates multiple tokens due to a replacement effect (such as the one Doubling Season creates), you'll sacrifice each of them.
  • If a copied creature is a token that isn't a copy of something else, the copy copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that created it.
  • If a copied creature is copying something else, the token you create will use the copiable values of the target creature. In most cases, it will just be a copy of whatever that creature is copying.
  • If another creature becomes a copy of, or enters the battlefield as a copy of, the token, that creature will copy the creature card the token is copying, except it will also have haste. However, you won't sacrifice the new copy at the beginning of the next end step.
  • If the copied creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.
  • The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature (except that the copy also has haste) and nothing else (unless it's copying a creature that's a token or that's copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether the creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. Most notably, if the target creature isn't normally a creature, the copy won't be a creature.

    Changeling

    Rules

  • Effects that have already applied to the targeted Shapeshifter will continue to apply to it. For example, if Giant Growth had given it +3/+3 earlier in the turn, then this ability makes it a copy of Grizzly Bears, it will be a 5/5 Grizzly Bears.
  • If Shapesharer itself becomes a copy of another creature, it loses both changeling and its activated ability (unless it’s copying another creature with changeling and/or another Shapesharer, of course).
  • If the targeted Shapeshifter becomes a copy of a face-down creature, it will become a 2/2 creature with no name, creature type, abilities, mana cost, or color. It will not become face down and thus can’t be turned face up.
  • If the targeted Shapeshifter copies a creature that’s copying a creature, it will become whatever the chosen creature is copying.
  • The copy effect doesn’t wear off until just before your next untap step (even if an effect will cause that untap step to be skipped).
  • The targeted Shapeshifter copies the printed values of the targeted creature, plus any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won’t copy counters on that creature. It won’t copy effects that have changed the creature’s power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
  • This ability can cause a creature to become a copy of itself. This will usually have no visible effect.
  • If either target becomes an illegal target, the ability will resolve but have no effect.

    Rules

  • After Volatile Chimera copies a creature card, that card remains in the pool of cards you can choose with the last ability.
  • No enters-the-battlefield abilities of the creature card Volatile Chimera is copying will trigger. Volatile Chimera was already on the battlefield.
  • The copy effect created by the activated ability doesn't have a duration. It will last until Volatile Chimera leaves the battlefield or another copy effect overwrites it.
  • Unlike the other two cards with this style of ability (Arcane Savant and Caller of the Untamed), if you have more than one Volatile Chimera in your deck, you need only reveal one of them because you can exile as many creature cards that aren't in your deck as you want, with a minimum of three. If you do reveal more than one Volatile Chimera before shuffling, you'll have to exile at least three creature cards for each of them.
