Talk:Chromia (G1)

That caption kind of shits me, as its yet another lame 'Take a pot shot at Cybertron's animation'. Given her only official toy HAS high heels... --FFN 04:49, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

The caption has to do with Female Stereotyping, not Cybertron, dude. --ItsWalky 04:51, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

So did Hasbro put those high heels into their designs of Energon Arcee and Cyb. Thunderblast (the most randomly named female Transformer ever)? --FFN 04:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

They put them on TM2 Blackarachnia! Because, you know, girl. And, yeah, I imagine they designed Energon Arcee. We saw their art of her. But I'm still not sure how you're getting a Cybertron jab from this at all. Please diagram it for me! --ItsWalky 05:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

... do you need a lie-down and some aspirin? You're very insensible right now. --M Sipher 05:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I had assumed it was the one in the series of jabs against Cybertron, such as the crack in BM Thrust's page about him having more expression than the entire Cybertron cast (which is admittedly true), then another one in for Lori's 'angry faces' montage (which I changed as it was overstated). Anyway, I assumed this was another one due to my observation that you guys don't like Cybertron's animation. Sorry for assuming the wrong thing.

As for female stereotyping, why don't you guys take up this matter with Aaron and co? They seem to be at least partially responsible. --FFN 05:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Aaron and co aren't responsible for the G1 Female Autobots! --ItsWalky 05:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I meant if they participated in the designs of recent female Transformer figures that have stereotypical feminine designs features (perhaps even adding those design cues themselves), then they are partly responsible for perpetuating 'problem'. Such as it is. --FFN 14:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, yes, of course. And? --ItsWalky 15:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Generations Figure

Was it stated at BotCon that she was a retool of PRID Arcee, or are people just asserting this from the images shown? Magaroja (talk) 12:29, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

I'm almost positive they said Chromia is a new mold. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 12:36, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

Don't think it was stated outright by Hasbro people, but she features parts that are very clearly the exact same as ones from Arcee. Jalaguy (talk) 12:38, 24 June 2014 (EDT)

Is she really a heavy retool? Or is she just sharing a transformation with PRID Arcee, like G2 Smokescreen and Energon Starscream or DOTM Roadbuster and AOE Lockdown?

Those examples you list are, like, two toys which aren't even the same size as each other and share zero sculpting detail, so of course they're not retools. Even a cursory glance at images of Arcee and Chromia will tell you they are not something like that. --ItsWalky (talk) 20:52, 9 February 2015 (EST)

So is she officially confimed as a PRID Arcee retool?Pat (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2015 (EST)

Idea for Chromia

Since siege Chromia has 3 repaints, maybe we should put a "see also" in the POTP girl mold to show them there, just solely for transformation if anything.Poliwag06 (talk) 22:34, 1 October 2023 (EDT)

Siege "retool"

Sorry, but Siege Chromia is at a point where I think calling her a "retool" is at most barely teeeeechnically not-untrue. She shares what, less than 10% of her parts with other figures? If we need to do that much clarifying, that should probably not be crammed into an already kinda-chunky intro and kinda breaking the flow of information within it. --M Sipher (talk) 12:17, 19 March 2026 (EDT)
