| The name or term "Chrome" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Chrome (disambiguation). |
- Chrome is an Autobot-allied Mini-Con from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Chrome (クローム Kurōmu) is one of the many power-enhancing Mini-Cons who help the Autobots search the galaxy for raw Energon deposits. The leader of the Stealth Augmentation Team, Chrome can deflect energy weapons with his mirror-like finish. When Powerlinxed to a Bulk, he grants the ability to generate a personal force field.[1]
Toys
[edit]Super Link
[edit]- Chrome (Micron Booster, 2004)
- Booster ID number: 1
- Super Link Chrome is a redeco of the "Corona" version of the Mini-Con Sparkplug, transforming into a Cybertronic sports car.
- He was only available as part of the second Micron Booster assortment (called "Ver.1") in Japan, in individual, blind-packed boxes so you did not know which Mini-Con you got until you opened the box and opaque black plastic bag inside. This series was sold primarily in convenience stores.
- Chrome uses the same mold as his case-mates Synapse and Thyristor. The original version of the mold is used by Atlas and Rod.

Notes
[edit]- The name "Chrome" is recycled from Chromedome's small form in Japanese Generation 1 continuity, as the first three Micron Booster assortment "headliners" have names similar to Japanese Autobot leaders.[2]
- In 2015, the Ask Vector Prime Facebook blog headed up by Jim Sorenson would give Chrome some characterization and a team affiliation with his toy wavemates.
- Great Scott! In February 2026, Greg Sepelak revealed that Gigawatt was proposed as a localized name for a Transformers Collectors' Club website bio which never came to fruition,[3] to match Thyristor as "Road Rebel" and Synapse as "Impulse", but with the collapse of said system circa 2010, no bio ever surfaced.
