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.
Aptly named.

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 and was the leader of the Stealth Augmentation Team.[1]

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Chrome could deflect energy weapons with his mirror-like finish. When Powerlinxed to a Bulk, he granted the ability to generate a personal force field. Ask Vector Prime, 24 September 2015

Toys

  • Chrome (Micron Booster, 2004)
    • Booster ID number: 1
Chrome is a redeco of the "Corona" version of the Mini-Con Sparkplug, transforming into a Cybertronic sports car. He was sold 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.
Chrome uses the same mold as Synapse and Thyristor. The original version of the mold is used by Atlas and Rod.
Transformers: Armada mold: Sparkplug

Version 1:

  • SonokongEunha Yeongung: Cybertron MC-01 Prime

Version 2:

Hironori Kobayashi?

Notes

  • 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]
