This article is a featured article, and considered to be one of the most informative on this wiki.

This article is about . For other uses of "Chromia", see Chromia (disambiguation)|The name or term "Chromia" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Chromia (disambiguation).}}
Chromia is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"At least our animated character models didn't have high heels."

Chromia is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who's adept at unflinching sabotage. Bluntly honest and a little married to her job, she doesn't make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard. Her rough edges often find her a kinship with other like-minded security officers such as Ironhide. More diplomatic peers such as Windblade have attempted to socialize her, but beware—she might "arrange" an exit out of an overwhelming interpersonal situation with a quietly-placed detonator.

Fiction

"Okay, Firestar, you go out long, Greenlight, you keep back for defense, and Moonracer, try not to trip or something."

Four million years ago, Chromia tried to board the Ark, while it was being attacked, with the rest of Elita One's team. The plan failed though, and she and the others appeared to be destroyed.

Chromia led a mission to steal energon cubes from Shockwave. When Moonracer got trapped after disobeying orders, Chromia confronted the alerted Shockwave and managed to trick him into freeing Moonracer.

Shortly thereafter, a team of Decepticons from Earth came to capture Elita One. In doing so, Rumble destroyed the Female Autobots' underground base, trapping them inside. When they managed to free themselves, Chromia took charge of the search for their missing leader. On their way, they met up with a group of Earth-stationed Autobots who had come looking for Optimus Prime and Chromia was reunited with Ironhide. The two teams together fought the Decepticons, eventually winning when Optimus and Elita returned. Given a new base by Alpha Trion, Chromia stayed with Elita's squad on Cybertron when Optimus' team returned to Earth. The Search for Alpha Trion

Japanese cartoon continuity

Chromia and the rest of the team defeated a gigantic Decepticon. Chromia and her compatriots seemed confident that they could retake Cybertron on their own, though Elita One insisted that Optimus Prime was still their last hope to win the war. The Transformers: Elita One

Legends comic
Little known fact: Chromia is Stampy's great-aunt.

Tigatron of the Legends World had a dream in which Chromia appeared before him and warned him he was in danger, soon followed by all kinds of heroic female Transformers. Sure enough, a group of evil female Transformers then showed up to kidnap Tigatron, but Chromia picked him up and kept him safe during the ensuing battle. Bonus Edition Vol. 11

During Halloween, Alpha Trion summoned the real Chromia into the Legends Universe to help stop Megatron's latest grab for energy. Dressed up as a bunny girl, she confronted Megatron and his underlings alongside Arcee and Windblade, though she was confused and embarrassed as to why it being Halloween meant she had to dress like that. The three were then defeated and tied up by Blackarachnia, but it turned out the Decepticons hadn't gotten any energy anyway. Bonus Edition Vol. 17 Tigatron later had another dream of Chromia in which she explained that her new body was the result of changing armor parts, displayed her new altmode and ability to fly, and traded armors with Arcee. Chromia Chapter Chromia later swooned over the Springer from her home universe when he crossed over to the Legends Universe. Bonus Edition Vol. 19 Chromia and Ultra Magnus were tied up by Skids during his mission to send all interdimensional visitors to the Legends Universe back to where they came from, though he eventually gave up and allowed them to stay.

While acting as cheerleaders at a soccer game for whatever reason, Chromia and the other girls found themselves being harassed by Wheelie. Bonus Edition Vol. 29 After Metroplex was sold off to the Decepticon Tera-Kura Co., Chromia joined the Decepticon organization so that she could remain with the city-bot. Bonus Edition Vol. 31 As Alpha Trion had done the same, she was near him when he was looking for his ultra-drill. Bonus Edition Vol. 33 As an office worker she wore a snazzy suit, though Apeface ripped it to pieces while displaying his telekinetic powers. Bonus Edition Vol. 38 She later started taking Astrotrain's new commuter service to work, Bonus Edition Vol. 40 and was exasperated with Alpha Trion when he lost his drill again. LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter

When the Decepticon Headmasters turned on Tera-Kura Co. and came to steal Metroplex's transformation cog, Chromia was defeated by Trickdiamond's earthquake powers. Decepticon Civil War She hung back at the office while the cog was used to rebuild Trypticon, then cheered Metroplex on when he defeated the beast. Bonus Edition Vol. 43 She was later among those pestered by Kickback and his clone army. Bonus Edition Vol. 47

Wings Universe

Welp, got left behind, time for a nap.
Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

To gather energy for the energy-sapped Autobots, a crew was formed to pilot the Ark. Chromia was to be part of the crew, but a Decepticon attack blocked her and others from reaching the ship before it departed. Soon after, as their current reserve of energies was dangerously low, Chromia joined her comrades still on the planet in stasis hibernation as an energy-saving measure. Battle Lines, Part 6

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Generation One ceased publication before the story could conclude. The following would have taken place in unpublished issues.

Chromia was a member of an elite squad of five warriors under the command of the Quintessons. Following a report from their Autobot sleeper agent, Arcee, that the awaited situation to commence their mission had come, Elita One used a space bridge to get to the Autobase on Cybertron. Chromia and the others waited patiently for her to signal that they could follow. Chromia joined her commander soon after it came. With only Firestar still to get through the portal, the group was attacked by Gnaw, but Moonracer and Elita One took care of that. While the rest of the team went further into the Autobot facility, Chromia was sent back to Quintessa with an unconscious Hot Rod. Generation 1 #11

Descent into Evil

Just off-panel: Virulent Clone with apple on head.

Chromia and her ward Flareup were part of an Autobot strike force tasked with destroying the Decepticon general Deathsaurus' cloning lab on Ceti Alpha Seven. Although the pair had handily beaten Deathsaurus's Insecticon underling Buzzclaw on Regulon Four some time previous, they were taken by surprise by the first production run of clones. Although Chromia fought effectively against the clones, she was no match for Deathsaurus himself when he entered the battle personally. Falling before the general's might, she was taken captive.

Chromia, along with her teammates and the backup team of Ironhide and Ratchet, was ultimately rescued when Ricochet, who had evaded capture, came to the rescue of the entire Autobot party. Descent into Evil


2005 IDW continuity

One erroneous account presented Chromia as a Cybertronian, who was among those attended Bumper and Fastback's funeral. Megatron Origin #3 However, every other account shows that Chromia was born from the hot spot contained in the Titan Caminus, who founded a distant colony in his name that was cut off from Cybertron long before the war and whose citizens retained differentiated genders. Her people's isolation ended with the arrival of Thunderclash, who had come seeking help from a Cityspeaker in order to aid Metroplex. The chosen Cityspeaker, Windblade, needed a bodyguard, however, and so Chromia (and Nautica) were enlisted. A Bot and Her City If I Know You The three joined the crew of the Vis Vitalis shortly before it crossed paths with Alpha Trion. The legendary Autobot was preoccupied with an important quest, so the three volunteered to watch after Metroplex for him and keep him alive. Burning Bright Under their watch, Metroplex's insides were besieged with invaders, so Chromia and Nautica hunted them down to confront them and fight them off, if necessary. They found a small group of robots and Chromia threatened to put the hurt down on them. The Dead Are Not Enough

Their adversaries turned out to be fellow Autobots from the Lost Light who were battling an army of angered Ammonites. Chromia and Nautica led them back to their boss, Windblade, who explained their mission, and subsequently the Lost Light was able to give Metroplex a jump, allowing him to spacebridge back to Cybertron. Burning Bright On arrival, they couldn't do much but hang on tight within Metroplex as the city-bot did battle with the Necrotitan. Finis Temporis Following Metroplex's victory, Chromia and her pals got to mingle with the locals, including another female Autobot named Arcee. The Becoming When Shockwave's army of Ammonites invaded Cybertron, the three Camiens returned to Metroplex to convince him to fight the invaders. Black Planet Toward the end of the battle, Mainframe contacted Chromia to let them to know the Lost Light was about to ram Monstructor, though she got frustrated by the vague, dramatic way he phrased it. ...And the Damage Done

Chromia accompanied Nautica to her audition to join the crew of the Lost Light, helping out by keeping her friend's rambling to a minimum. Chromia and Windblade later attended Megatron's trial. Towards Peace The pair went to find cover when a group of Decepticons disrupted proceedings with the intent to rescue the defendant. Predestination: A Beginner's Guide

Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot.

Six months later, Chromia had stayed behind on Cybertron in order to protect and train Windblade as she performed her role as Metroplex's Cityspeaker. She was highly untrusting of Cybertron's elected ruler, Starscream, though Windblade preferred to give him the benefit of the doubt. When Windblade sought advice on how to best interact with Starscream, Chromia scoffed at Windblade's choice of talking to the "mopey" Ironhide, but was visibly upset when Windblade teased her about telling Ironhide she described him as such. Later, Chromia accompanied Windblade as the pair investigated an area of the city that might reveal why Metroplex was suffering blackouts, and at the end of the day Chromia insisted they not over-exert themselves and reconvene in the morning. A 'Bot and Her City Chromia planted a bomb near where they'd be, in an attempt to make Windblade return to Caminus. Windblade vol. 1 #4 In the morning, when she and Windblade returned to the area, the bomb exploded, damaging Windblade. Chromia dragged her to medical care. A 'Bot and Her City

No, it's true, they actually elected Starscream.

Chromia was guarding Windblade when Starscream paid her a visit, and afterwards encouraged Windblade to pursue the idea that Starscream was behind the bomb. Enlisting Ironhide's help, they followed up a lead in the form of Waspinator whom Chromia had to physically tackle when he tried to run. Chromia stayed in Blurr's bar while Windblade went with Waspinator. After Windblade discovered Starscream was trying to mine ore from Metroplex, Chromia joined a team that went down to investigate. A Long Way Down They were attacked by the Terrorcons and Chromia went instinctively to Windblade's aid, eventually managing to avoid being arrested when Starscream and Rattrap arrived. Windblade vol. 1 #3 She arranged for Metroplex's spacebridge to activate, Windblade vol. 1 #4 and organized a jail break, successfully springing Windblade and the others. As they headed for Metroplex, Windblade revealed that she believed Starscream wasn't behind the bomb. Windblade vol. 1 #3

The pair rushed to Metroplex, where Chromia insisted Windblade merge with the Titan's mind. She fought with Starscream when he arrived, but he managed to injure Windblade and sliced off Chromia's right arm. Windblade, merged with Metroplex, was able to subdue him with the Titan's internal defenses and revealed she'd discovered Chromia was behind the bomb. Though Chromia encouraged Windblade to make Metroplex jump back to Caminus, Windblade instead opted to shut the spacebridge down in favor of making a deal with Starscream. Windblade vol. 1 #4

She was among the group present when Wheeljack was brought back online, though she wasn't as enthusiastic about the event when she observed how happy Starscream was. The World of Tomorrow Chromia then participated in the violent arrest of the Firecons, primary suspects in a series of murders, Quest for Fire and was present when they were locked up. The Killing Jar

Chromia and Ironhide found Windblade and Optimus Prime being attacked by Decepticons and Chromia managed to stop the fight through sheer force of intimidation. They retired to Metroplex to contemplate the spacebridge, now linked to Caminus. Optimus ordered Chromia and Ironhide to guard the portal; however they were unable to prevent Swindle from taking Menasor through. First Contact They headed through the portal with Starscream's forces and attacked Menasor. The giant briefly held Chromia in his fist until she broke free. In the end, the battle was decided when Superion joined in. The Sum and Its Parts Chromia was taking part in the subsequent cleanup on Caminus when Devastator arrived and started smashing more things. As the giant started trying to smash the spacebridge, Chromia rallied those present to fight him until Superion and Defensor defeated him. Mistakes and Mayhem As Starscream returned to Cybertron, Chromia went with him to make sure no one started shooting. She was later back on Caminus when Menasor again went through the spacebridge and started fighting with the combiners already there. You, Me, and the Universe As a combiner incorporating Optimus joined the fight, Chromia led a group back through to Cybertron to help prevent the Decepticons there from attacking Caminus. All That Remains

Prime Arcee vs. G1 Arcee.

Windblade and Chromia were returning to Cybertron through the spacebridge while Optimus communicated with Arcee on Earth. Now and On Earth To celebrate the union between Cybertron and Caminus, the Mistress of Flame declared an official holiday that saw Chromia temporarily don some Cityspeaker-style face paint for the occasion. While she was guarding the Enigma of Combination with a Badgeless, Arcee stole the artifact. Chromia and Windblade pursued her into the Sea of Rust where their confrontation was interrupted by the Torchbearers. After the Torchbearers were merged into Victorion, the trio fought to survive the giant's onslaught until Windblade managed to talk the giant into separating. Chromia later returned the Enigma and resumed guarding it. An Uneventful Night

She and Windblade interceded in a quarrel between visiting Camiens and Decepticons, though Chromia was a little too aggressive with the Decepticons. Windblade left her to finish sorting things out. She later joined Windblade, Ironhide, and Blurr for a trip to Velocitron, where they found themselves in the path of Delta, a city fleeing a wall of fire. Windblade vol. 2 #4 Chromia managed to encourage Ironhide into safely making it onto the city by staying by his side. She accompanied Windblade and Clocker to inspect Navitas, the Titan on which the city was built, and stood by as Windblade talked to the Titan directly. Race Against the Light

When Windblade returned disappointed from Eukaris following the death of Chela, Chromia believed she'd done her best to save the Titan. The Will of the Few Following the formation of the Council of Worlds, Starscream declared Chosen One Day, a new holiday. Windblade hugged Chromia and forgave her for past discretions...if only for a night. Choose Me

Chromia, Ironhide, and Windblade helped re-secure the spacebridge nexus after a gaggle of Decepticons stormed it. Chromia was present when Optimus Prime used the bridge to go to Earth and annex it in advance of Galvatron's invasion. Perihelion Shortly after taking this drastic step, Optimus had a nightmare where he saw Windblade and Chromia bowing down before him. Once Upon a Time on Earth The real Chromia, meanwhile, had gone off to attend an emergency Council meeting to discuss this problem. New Worlds Order

The uneasy peace on Cybertron was growing increasingly threatened by the distrust of the Badgeless, and compounded by a spree of mnemosurgical attacks on several Decepticons within Iacon, including a supplier of parts to Carcer. The Committee moved to have Ironhide investigate the issue. When the meeting was adjourned, Chromia went off to spar with Strika. 07:00:00 Tensions boiled over after the suspicious death of a disgruntled Decepticon, and Chromia participated in a Council meeting that saw Ironhide step up as the new head of Cybertronian security. Applicable Skills

Shortly after Sentinel Prime reawoke, Chromia was walking around in the Decepticon ghetto outside of Metroplex. The Last Autobot On learning that Windblade was being forced to help Starscream because he knew of Chromia's actions in bombing Acrolight, Chromia took over decoding security footage related to Swindle's death and discovered the Decepticon's body had been taken by Wheeljack and Rattrap. She visited Wheeljack, only for the pair of them to be taken prisoner by the rest of the Combaticons, who forced Wheeljack to lead them to Swindle's brain-dead body. Things We Said We'd Never Do After the Combaticons used the Enigma to merge into Bruticus, Chromia worked with Windblade to talk the Combaticons down, however Ironhide took matters into his own hands and blasted Bruticus. In the aftermath, Chromia coopted Circuit's broadcast to make a public confession of her actions in Acrolight, and was arrested by Ironhide. The Line Between Us

Chromia being in prison was later one of the factors Windblade mentioned that had demoralized her. Ping When a fleet of undead Titans arrived to destroy Cybertron (as they do), Chromia was marched onto a prison ship when Starscream gave the evacuation order. She broke the prison line to speak to Ironhide about Metroplex being felled and urged him to help Windblade who was doubtlessly with the Titan. Ironhide said Windblade was at the Spire (and he was right) and there was no need to worry but Chromia was convinced that without Ironhide, Windblade would do something stupid (she was also right). Desperate Times

Said stupid thing turned out to be releasing Carcer. When the evil Titan made planetfall, Chromia rushed back to Ironhide to try and find Windblade, only for the irritable warden to grab her and stuff her in a prison cell to be killed by the undead. However, Metroplex managed to release her and direct her to Windblade's location with Carcer so she could free her friend. Chromia rushed to the Titan and scaled up his body, breaching his body and arriving at his brain module just as Elita One had blown it into chunks, seemingly killing Windblade. Rubicon

Chromia was subsequently put back into prison and set to be tried for crimes against Cybertron. The Mistress of Flame attempted to get Starscream to turn Chromia over to her but when Starscream refused, she demanded Swindle and Menasor in exchange. The ghost of Bumblebee urged Starscream to hand over Chromia. Starscream instead opted to free Chromia and turn her into a hit-bot to hunt down and kill Liege Maximo, offering her a pardon in exchange, as well as saying he'd lost his own chance to be better, telling Chromia not to waste hers. Heavy Starscream and Obsidian provided Chromia with the Sabre, with Greenlight and Lancer as her crew, while the Camien herself recorded a goodbye message for Windblade, encouraging her friend to stay strong while she was away. The Chosen One

Shortly after setting out, however, the crew ran afoul of the Maximals. Though they managed to triumph over their foes, the Maximals had damaged the Sabre's long range communication, leaving them unable to contact Cybertron. Stranger Eons

When Liege Maximo returned to Cybertron as a prisoner of Onyx Prime, Windblade asked whether the bestial Prime had encountered Chromia or her team. Onyx chose to ignore the question and grill Soundwave instead. Another Mine

When the Sabre finally repaired its communications, the crew had caught up with the Decepticon Vengeance Division facing off against Unicron in G Nebula 89. Calling Cybertron, Chromia was quickly caught up on the recent political changes before she reported that, despite their incredible firepower, the Decepticons were failing to damage the Chaos Bringer. Unicron unleashing the Maximals on the Decepticons was enough incentive for Chromia to order a quantum jump back to Cybertron. Stranger Eons

The Sabre arrived back home to find Unicron had beaten them there and assumed a robot mode to attack the planet, while having warped the DVD into his service. Acting as a coordinator, Chromia tried to deter Elita One from charging head-on to no success, the Carcerian confident in her plan. Our Finest

File:Chromiatoydie.jpg
That's no Moon(racer)!
  • Descent into Evil (BotCon 2005 boxset)
    • Accessories: Launcher, missile, scope, 2 tailpipes, energon chip
Available only as part of BotCon 2005's "Descent into Evil" set (along with Buzzclaw, Deathsaurus, Dirge, Fallback, Ironhide and Ricochet), Timelines Chromia is a retool of Energon Energon Class Arcee, transforming into a Cybertronic racing motorcycle. She has multiple clear-plastic "energon" parts that form side-thrusters in bike mode, and combine to form a massive compound bow with a spring-loaded missile.
The toy was originally intended to be Moonracer, but Fun Publications could not secure the trademark on the name. As such, Chromia's toy is in Moonracer's teal and white colors and has a head that resembles Moonracer's. (Fun Publications' intent was for the head to be a compromise between the Moonracer and Firestar head designs.)<ref>alt.toys.transformers post by Lanny Lathem explaining the Moonracer/Chromia SNAFU.</ref><ref>Chromia toy notes at BWTF.com</ref> Later Fun Publications stories would repurpose the Chromia toy as Moonracer.
Her base mold is also used by Flamewar and the live-action movieverse Arcee and Elita-One, while the Chromia-retooled version is also used by Flareup.

Generations

Thrilling 30

STILL the fastest thing on the Grid.
  • Chromia (Deluxe Class, 2014)
    • Series / Number: 02 / #022
    • Accessories: Rifle
Generations: Thrilling 30 Chromia is a heavy retool of Prime: Robots in Disguise Arcee, transforming into a Cybertronian motorbike. Her blaster weapon can be mounted on the bottom of her bike mode. Originally scheduled for March 2014 along with Arcee, Chromia was delayed to fall of that year and ultimately not released until December.
Hasbro's original stock photo for the figure depicting a hand-painted prototype (which is also featured on the back of the toy's packaging) showed her holding one of her wave-mate Arcee's guns along with her own. This was most certainly due to a mix-up error; the weapon's design, especially the size and shape of its handle and additional pegs (which are identical to those of Arcee's other weapon), make it very obvious that it was always intended to go with Arcee rather than Chromia. A different version of the stock photo was released in November 2014 on the official Transformers Facebook page, with the extra gun edited out. Some specimens of Chromia also feature a sticker on the back of the packaging that says "Additional weapon not included."
Due to the nature of her transformation, Chromia's paint is extremely prone to chipping, especially the white paint on her head. Caution and care is recommended when transforming her to avoid damaging her paint.
The original version of this sculpt was also used to make BotCon 2014 Flareup, and was differently retooled to make Prime: Beast Hunters Arcee. This version of the mold served as the model for the non-toy Beast Wars: Uprising version of Blackarachnia.

This is how Chromia auditions for a new Final Fantasy game.
  • Combiner Hunters (Multi-pack, 2015)
    • Accessories: Gun, Primeon Blade sword
The Combiner Hunters redeco of Chromia not only has many of her coloring details changed, but in fact mostly stands out for its new accessory: a huge Primeon Blade sword. The tooling for this weapon was originally used for the 16"-tall electronic version of Robots in Disguise Titan Heroes Optimus Prime.
This version of Chromia was only available in a Combiner Wars gift set together with Combiner Hunters redecos of Generations Arcee and Windblade, each with their own giant new melee weapons. In the U.S., this set was exclusive to the Hasbro Toy Shop website and the Hasbro Toy Shop booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. In Asia, it was also available at Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2015 and subsequently stocked by Toys"R"Us Hong Kong. Later, it was also available at The Falcon's Hangar booth at Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention 2015.

War for Cybertron: Siege

"I'm in the same wave as Ironhide?!"
  • Chromia (Deluxe Class, 2019)
    • ID number: WFC-S20
    • Japanese ID number: SG-22
    • Japanese release date: May 31, 2019
    • Accessories: "RT-5 Anti-thermo Blaster," "SR Hushfuze," and 2 "EMP-Grenades"
Part of the second wave of Siege Deluxe Class figures, Chromia transforms into a Cybertronian car. Despite looking similar to Moonracer/Novastar's toy from Power of the Primes, she is a new mold, transforms differently, and cannot transform into a limb for a Combiner Wars-style combiner. She includes the "RT-5 Anti-thermo Blaster," a gun compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Two "EMP-Grenades" can connect to the barrel, and the "SR Hushfuze" scope can be detached and can extend the barrel as well, allowing you to change the length of the barrel and/or scope. The grenades can also attach to the back of the vehicle, as if they are big exhaust pipes. As with all non-gimmick Siege figures, Chromia features "battle damage" paint applications on her vehicle mode front. She also features multiple hardpoints all over herself and her weapon to accommodate "Fire Blasts" from the Battle Masters assortment, which can be used to simulate blaster fire or explosions.

  • Though other female Transformers may be more well known, Chromia holds the distinction of being the first female Transformer to appear in ANY media. She's the first of the Female Autobots to appear on screen in "The Search for Alpha Trion".
  • Though the first to appear in any media, Minerva was the first female Autobot to receive a toy, and Freezon the first female Transformer to receive one (though due to a retcon). That being said, Chromia finally did get a toy as a Botcon exclusive 20 years after her debut, and a mass-released figure in the Generations line 29 years after her debut.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Chromia (クロミア Kuromia)
