Chromia (G1)
| This article is about the Generation 1 Autobot. For Airazor's starship, see Chromia 10. |
- Chromia is an Autobot in the Generation 1 continuity family.
Chromia is a rough-and-tumble blue collar trucker gal, which means, of course, that she's Ironhide's girlfriend. She's not afraid of getting dirty, which is good, because she probably always is.
Fiction
Animated continuity
Voice actors: Linda Gary (US); Masako Katsuki (Japan)
Dreamwave Comics continuity
Chromia and the other female Autobots were an elite squad of warriors under the command of the Quintessons.
(Note: Dreamwave filed for bankruptcy and stopped producing Transformers books right as the female Autobots arc was beginning.)
Timelines: Descent into Evil comic
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' Insecticon underling Buzzclaw on Regulon Four, 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.
Toys
Timelines
- Descent Into Evil (multi-pack, 2005)
- Available only as part of BotCon 2005's Descent into Evil set (along with Buzzclaw, Deathsaurus, Dirge, Fallback, Ironhide and Ricochet, Chromia was a retool of Energon Arcee, transforming into a Cybertronic racing motorcycle. She has multiple clear-plastic "energon" parts to form a compound bow with 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.)
- Her base mold is also used by Flamewar and Movie Arcee (which is colored in Chromia-correct colors), while the Chromia retooled version is also used by Flareup.
