Easily the most underrated female transformer. Glad she’s getting more spotlight roles as of late. Hopefully Thunderblast can join her in getting more roles. Great video as always!
Greenlight, thunderblast, slipstream, Nautica, flamewar, and lancer ; "are we a joke to you?"
Meh.
She's like the 4th most populer female autobot
@@FredLloyd-Ward-iu4rm She was 3rd. Newcomer Windblade has overtaken her.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs most populer female autobots ar
1st arcee
2nd windblade
3rd elita
4th chromia
"Cybertronian motorcycle?" That's a Lightcycle, and you know it.
As a fan of Tron (if my username is an indication), I approve of Chromia being a lightcycle.
I remember seeing her toy in store, not knowing anything about her, and thinking her alt mode looked like Afterburner, from the Technobots.
I prefer the car mode for her, but I do like how they took elements of her original car mode and put it into the motorcycle, like the large windshield shape and other details. They didn’t just give her a new alt mode and make it completely different and unrecognizable.
Now there’s a crossover. Tron vs the Transformers.
@@Savagewolver Now all I'm imaging is the programs from Tron hopping into bodies built by either the Autobots or Decepticons.
Starscream's pardoning of Chromia... Man, Starscream is the character that just keeps on giving... Love it!
100% AGREE! 'Screamer has become such a layered character, and Chromia deserves the chance He gave her.
@@scotttemplin8331 Chromia's arc being a mirror of Starscream was the best thing to have happened in the franchise. He MAY be a jerk, but nobody asked what would happen if the seeker was put in charge of Cybertron since in the comic, he was constructed cold. His treacherous personality often led to his own comeuppance in the form of destruction, but sparing him is actually fitting for such a backstabber since killing him will leave behind a vengeful ghost.
Until she was pardoned off-planet by a Democratically Elected Starscream.
It's incredible how Chromia has become a staple Transformers character, standing besides Arcee, Elita-1, and Windblade in being one of the best known female Autobots of the franchise.
Now they need to work on the bad girls some more. Bring in Crashe as a proper Decepticon and bring back Thunderblast!
@@Undrave I agree. I also hope they make Strika a more prominent Decepticon. She appeared in Transformers Beast Machines, Animated, and Cyberverse. I'd vote for Strika to be the first female Transformer to be given a commander class sized figure.
Always four there must be: a leader, a rough-and-tumble outlaw bruiser, a by-the-book hard-nose, and a naive rookie.
@@TFfangeek
"I do not attack. I TERMINATE!"
- Strika, "The Will of the Few"
Now if only Firestar, Moonracer, Green Light and Lancer could get some more love.
A real shane her and Ironhide's relationship has never been allowed to have a larger focus.
Modern Transformers only seem to do same sex love, Optimus and Elita Ironhide and chromia these are never brought up. Hell Arcee get passed around like a party favor.
Outside of G1, my only exposure to her was the Netflix series. She didn’t have much to say but she was a badass marksman. I would love to see her used more in future stories.
Me too, love her in the WFC cartoon
Mine was Cyberverse first
Mine was bayverse
I liked the irony in IDW. She did all that because she didnt trust Starscream, but then he pardons her of the crimes she did because of how she felt about him. Nice double development
Maybe they're not so different in that continuity after all? Hm. 🙂
I love Chromia. Really underrated character and I'm glad she gets more love these days. My favourite look for her is her IDW design, even if it just exists due to a retool. Saren Stone's Chromia is the definitive Chromia in my eyes.
I loved her so much,and I wish she appeared more in animation
And I really wish to see more of her and Ironhide together alongside her relationship with her team
Linda Gary is Chromia Period!!!!
Her sisterly relationship with Windblade is everything to me,same with her romance with Ironhide
Great B-day present, Chromia is my favorite female TF character, I think in some ways TF prime arcee was influenced by Chromia.
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, mate.
First Ladybot to appear on-screen 💯
Hmm... apparently McFeely went to check, he found she's the first ladybot to speak.
I think first to appear wise she's tied with moonracer and firestar.
Pretty sure Nightbird predates her.
Nightbird wasn't Cybertronian though.
@@mitewing6531 Don't care
Still hot.
But really...TECHNICALLY RATCHET was SUPPOSED to be the first fembot on screen and be patterend after Nurse Ratchet from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest.
Really? I need to look this up.
One of my favorite characters. She truly clawed her way up into prominence. I hope she's added to Transformers Reactivate one day when it releases.
For me, Chromia was my favorite female Autobot introduced in the Search for Alpha Trion. Tough as nails, I loved her spunk against the Decepticons. It's a shame that we never got an aftermath between the female Autobots and their partners in the g1 run. I'm sure she would've been devastated by the loss of Ironhide yet proud he want out with a bang.
Very glad she's now getting the spotlight she deserves.
Unfortunately, we never see them again in the show. Does this mean the Decepticons found them and put an end to them or do they still remain in hiding, continuing their guerrilla war to this day?
Chromia's vehicle mode in some modern releases resembles that of the light cycles from Tron.
I just reliased now that Sandman in Spider-Man 2 (PS5) is similar to Windblade in Cyberverse because both of them had their minds literally shattered and needed the fragments to be collected
I can't wait for you to complete the group of female autobots with Firestar. I think she needs more attention.
She deserves more screen time!
Chromia certainly had quite a long journey to get where she is now
Am I the only one who thinks Ironhide and Chromia being an Autobot veteran power couple is the way to go forth with them?
Apparently I'm not- glad to see the support for them!
Also, Chromia as a pretool for a G1ified Hashtag- yay or nay?
My son and I write and draw G1 based fan fiction together, mostly last summer while he was out of school. We had a story idea for Ironhide and Chromia & Springer and Arcee taking on a fleet of alien monsters. We called the story, 'Double Date'.
@@johnnyb.5281 Okay, that's adorable. You get bonus points from me for including Springer/Arcee content!
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho
Nothing against Ironhide and Chromia but Springer and Arcee were the first robot boyfriend and girlfriend power couple. Lol
Even though Chromia was on screen first her and Ironhide were not as much Bonnie and Clyde as Springer and Arcee were.
First was alita one and then moonracer and now finally the chromia the 3 g1 female Autobots has finally get the basics
Thank you for one of the few truly enjoyable experiences on the internet.
For someone called chromia, shes very blue
Ah bu dee,
Ah bu dah,
Ah bu dee a bu dah...
I'm blue
Ah bu dee,
Ah bu dah,
Ah bu dee, Ah bu dah
Chromia was pretty awesome. I'm still bummed that Elita's unit wound up getting wiped out during their mission in the War for Cybertron anime series. So many cool characters got killed off in that vein mission to stop Shockwave.
Hope we get new figures of Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer, Greenlight and Lancer based on their G1 counterparts in the cartoon.
Let's hope Legacy's up to the task 🙏

I still can't see that scene without hearing "You can't shoot for shit, Shockwave!"
Thanks Dr. Smoov.
Hope she gets more recognition & screen apperances.
Shes an underated badass. 💙
Your bio's on Transformers are always shortdetailed ans sweet, thank you dude :)
Near the end of IDW 1.0, Chromia also partook in the final battle against Unicron.
Edit: At least Chromia in _Cyberverse_ didn't stage a terrorist bombing to make Windblade go home to Caminus.
As interesting and informative as ever. Looking forward to when the energy universe characters start popping up in the basics
0:48
Shockwave: “the female Autobot still exist!?”
Chromia: "Yes, we exist. And we always will."
@@LiamDyC” Such Noble Nonsense.” - Shockwave
I hope the basics on Rampage will be uploaded soon
In the Transformers-Pyrusverse, Chromia is Dragonite's adoptive mother.
I'm glad you talked about her at long last.
I love how a simple repaint or retool issue of an obscure character at botcon is responsible for so many of these characters seeing the light of the day after decades and end up becoming an integral part of the lore.
4:35 I always loved that alt mode. It was used for Afterburner in g1
So excited for the 40 yr anniversary g1 showing
AWESOMELY INFORMATIVE, as always! Thank for the expose' of a TRULY UNDERRATED character, whom is finally seeing STARLIGHT.
It’s moments like this that make Starscream one of my favourite characters as more than just a comedic punching bag for Megatron
My son and I write and draw G1 based fan fiction together, mostly last summer while he was out of school. We had a story idea for Ironhide and Chromia & Springer and Arcee taking on a fleet of alien monsters. We called the story, 'Double Date'.
Her name makes me think of a 50's era name for a car line, and I find that worth a chuckle
Chromia: Oh Ironhide, you'll come back for me, won't you?
Ironhide: (Proceeds to get killed off)
Thanks Chris, I wanted to see this one!
Awesome video 😊 keep up the great work! 👍
I love your videos!
Can you possibly do an updated video of windblade next?
One of my favorite Transformers.🤘
Great Stuff, as always!
There needs to be a love triangle between Chromia, Bluestreak and Silverstreak. They truly understand each other's pain.
Ha! Like those two rookies can beat out Ironhide.
@@Fenris30 Bluestreak's not a rookie.
I didn’t watch cyberverse so chromias involvement is something new to me. Always good to learn something new. Especially since I know so much about transformers.
Basics on the Technobots
Chromia in my opinion, is a very unique character alongside Elita-one and Arcee, really liked her designs like IDW and Cyberverse, I was thinking about making a comic series about Definitely giving Elita-one and her crew of female autobots, and definitely making Chromia as her second-in-command, also her conversion with her-old flame Ironhide and Shockwave were Badass as Hell.
I hope we get a Firestar episode soon
I wish they focused on her relationship with ironhide more often.
Honestly Chris, ur videos in my humble transformers beginnings in 2020 (when I was getting into transformers) really helped me with the lore, you take complicated plots, characters, and events and all fit it into only 10-15 mins of screen time. (Safe for some vids) while my request won’t matter. (I’m not a patreon supporter) butttt, WHEN WILL WE GET JETSTORM!!!! Or the coneheads
If any future TF media decided to bring back GF Chromia (Thunderblast), she should be sisters with Autobot Chromia.
Chromia did a great role from the IDW comic and also the shows. I hope she returns back like her friend Elita One and returns with Ironhide as well.
Finally, one of my favorite characters.
I prefer light cycle Chromia. It fits her better than the speedster mold
Another great video
Her Legacy toy is pretty nice. Unconventional as far as repaints go, but she wears the mold really well, and it's nice to have a female Transformer not be backpacked to oblivion.
Deserved a new mold + there's more female transformers in Legacy without backpacks than there are with backpacks
For some reason, people don't count Override, Antagony, Strongarm, Shard, Windblade or Javelin when talking about Legacy Transformers who are female characters
None of them have backpacks, backpack female Transformers were always in the minority lol
@@CrimsonAzure-fh6yb antagony cheats a bit by using a male bots mold, but I didn't know fembot backpack syndrome has been cured.
That said most G1 Arcee toys using her cartoon model and all variants of the POTP Moonracer/Siege Chromia molds have backpack's
@@gabrielchee8470 "most G1 Arcee toys using the sunbow model" you mean all three of them lol
Siege Chromia always sucked even as PoTP Moonracer
Cybertronian historians will call her "Windblade's pal".
Another great video!
Then she pulled the whole "World Trade Center bombing" stunt just to make Windblade go home
Kinda wish that she was part of the initial Autobot lineup in Skybound's comics, just to mix it up a little. She could have played Ironhide's role to Prime.
Hello there Chris McFeely and fellow Transformers fans. I do apologize for the tardiness of this comment, but when this video dropped I was on the way to work and just had a busy day since. Anyways, I just wanted to say that this video was absolutely awesome. I really enjoyed all the information about Chromia, just because she is a character that I don't really know much about, especially for the fact that I remember watching the episode that you mentioned and recently rewatched it too. However, I honestly never got a chance to watch the Cyberverse animated series, which you talked about and did not know that she was in it.
Anyways, thank you once again for this wonderful video and I hope that everyone in this great community has a terrific day and fantastic weekend. Can't wait for the next video to come out. So until then when All Are One. Peace Out and Maximize.
I actually picked up that figure that came with the comic. The bizarre thing was that her only appearance in it was a blink and you miss it shot of her in the background behind a few other female bots.
Something I would love to see which most people don't think about and I'm willing to bet willing to bet you would do a good job checking his research... The basics on super Megatron all versions of him
Bike, got the legacy fugure and its so much fun
I wish The animated Transformation series wasnt Cancelled thought so we could see more of our characters aand Even Chromia, there should be episode based on her crimes on idw comic
I did not know that Chromia was re-imagined as a Decepticon in TF cybertron. That is a cool fact. It is nice to see another underutilised character get more attention
My favorite version of Chromia is obviously in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen AND in Transformers Cyberverse in her usual motorcycle alternate mode just like the other motorcycle bots.
I've seen Gears and Chase are getting new toys in the Legacy United line too. How about making videos about them?
Yes! More love for the girls! Thanks, Chris.
My favorite version of Chromia is from the Netflix trilogy. I really liked that she came back with a classic vehicle from G1 and is a strong autobot and is one of Optimus Prime's best warriors. I was sad when she died and that I didn't show a romance between her and Ironhide.
After 102719171 years we finally have this video
Hey, so just picked up at random today the figure for a character called Thundertron. Which was apparently a concept character for a potential S4 of TF Prime or even a spinoff. A peg leg space captain of a group called the Star Seekers. Sounded like a fun character, maybe you could do a video even though there's not much info. Maybe a group video about concept characters that never actually came about?
Please Next Thunderwing please
Next you should do the basics on Lugnut
In 2009, Target Released
A Blue & Black Redeco
Of Energon Arcee Using
2009's ROTF Packaging; Actually
Calling Her Chromia!
She Was On Shelves
Alonside: Cheetos & Dinobot.
Cool!
One of the most badass characters ever
Thanks to IDW she’s a character I want to see so much more of her. Along with Moon Racer, Firestar, and Nautica
I hope we get a video on Sunstreaker
I hope to find her new figure soon !
Would it be possible to get a basics on transformers machine wars?
Ooo cool
Car or bike? Naw, I'll be controversial and say boat.
Cool
Chromias storyline in idw is still one of my favorite transformers stories
Nice
Can you do a video on the hate virus or Sixshot?
4:07 I swear that transformers animated version of chormia is just like arcee but spray paint her blue
That could also be Lifeline.
Because it is.
TFwiki mentioned her design was very shaky.
The 2nd allspark almanac had Bill Forster draw her G1 head in a TFA-ish style in 2010.
Meanwhile over in Japan apparently they just painted Arcee's model blue (sans the face).
In 2011 djw made that Chromia design so botcon can make a toy out of her, but that didn't happen, so when the allspark almanacs complete edition came out in 2015 he just drew DJW styled G1 Chromia, but the blue Arcee was still around in the same guidebook.
Could you consider doing the basics on huffer and pipes sometime
Even years later, being reminded that Starscream became the ruler of Cybertron in IDW is still so weird to consider.
Speaking of Female Bots, I really hope to see a video about Pyra Magna and the Torchbearers one of these days. A group of Female IDW transformers from Windblade’s planet, when combined form the first all female Combiner; Victorion.
As for favorite car form….Motorcycle
So the old Generations was the first dedicated toy?
Heck it might be the only one if one counts the Siege toy as a Moonracer retool and I dislike that mold to the point I recently got the Legacy version because even if it's an Animated Prowl retool at least it doesn't wear almost the entire alt mode as a backpack.
Ironhide : Now That's My Girl
I’m curious,
Where do you get the usually information regarding the behind the scenes production details?
Ah the second one I got when I started collecting again. I just wish it was a better figure than the siege line gave us.
Hoping we see her in live-action soon
cool
Which we got more of the other female autobots besides her and Alita-1
Chromia is such a cutie!❤ It's going to be a shame to have to tell her about poor Ironhide from the first 86 movie...😢
