'''Chromebite''' believes that "The light of honor heralds shining destruction!" Woe be to the 'bot that tells him otherwise.

: Chromebite is a chromed [[redeco]] of the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' Mini-Con [[Terrorsaur (Classics)|Terrorsaur]], transforming into a robotic ''Tyrannosaurus rex''. He was only available in the fifth "[[Micron Booster]]" assortment in Japan, where each figure came in its own blind-packed, individual box. Chromebite was one of two "chase" figures in the set; each case of twelve Mini-Cons contained one of either Chromebite or [[Detectas|Detectus]], but never both.

: This mold was also used to make [[Gnashteeth]] and ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' [[Ransack (Universe 2008)|Ransack]].

==Notes==
* Chromebite's name did not appear on any promotional materials for this assortment, where he was simply called "Gnashteeth Chromed Version". However, the actual packaging for the toys supplies his name, establishing him as a separate character.

* Chromebite's dark purple chrome and metallic bronze coloration is a likely [[homage]] to ''[[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s [[Transmetal]] ''T. rex'' body.

* The Micron Booster Ver.4 assortment uses the "classic" Japanese ''Transformers'' logo, ostensibly placing the characters within the Generation 1 continuity family. However, this set also gives [[Maximal]] and Predacon sigils to the beast-form Mini-Cons. It would appear then that these characters are from a "transitional" period from Generation 1 to the [[Beast Era]]...though chances are [[TakaraTomy]] didn't put even that much thought into it. Toys is toys.
