Title:
Chromia Robot Mode
Description:
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.
