Fiction
IDW Aligned comics
Grimlock and Swoop spoke with Chromia while they visited New Kalis. When Cybertron was struck by planetwide earthquakes, she directed the city's inhabitants to get to cover, and later worked with Grimlock to lead them out from the devastation. However, she was forced to flee along with the others when Grimlock drove them all away from an Energon pool uncovered by the cataclysm. Beast Hunters #5 Though she had trouble accepting the fact that New Kalis was lost forever, Chromia was able to lead the survivors to the surface through a tunnel discovered by Swoop. Beast Hunters #6
On the surface, they rendezvoused with Grimlock, who suggested it'd be safest if they stayed there. Chromia, however, insisted that since they didn't know what was out there, they should stick together. In light of an Autobot signal they received from Kaon, Chromia believed they should head for that city, but Grimlock asserted his authority, insisting everyone stay put. When a squad of Forged turned up to fight, Chromia took cover with the other survivors. Beast Hunters #7
The survivors, presumably including Chromia, eventually made it to Kaon. Beast Hunters #8
Notes
- Chromia was announced to be released as a playable character in Transformers Universe in October 2014, however she was delayed, and shortly after the game declared it was closing down. A CGI model (right) was created for Chromia by Jagex modeller Jay Howse, and her portrait can be found in the game files.
- Alligned Chromia was originally concieved as a member of the Star Seekers, though which colony world she would've hailed from is unknown. Only later on in the 2005-2018 IDW comics did we see a version of Chromia that hailed from Caminus, a planet that wasn't concieved of yet at the time when development of the Star Seekers would've been made.
