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.

Starscream's pardoning of Chromia... Man, Starscream is the character that just keeps on giving... Love it!

"Cybertronian motorcycle?" That's a Lightcycle, and you know it.

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!

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.

A real shane her and Ironhide's relationship has never been allowed to have a larger focus.

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.

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

First Ladybot to appear on-screen 💯

One of my favorite characters. She truely 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.

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

Thank you for one of the few truly enjoyable experiences on the internet.

Chromia's vehicle mode in some modern releases resembles that of the light cycles from Tron.

Chromia certainly had quite a long journey to get where she is now

I can't wait for you to complete the group of female autobots with Firestar. I think she needs more attention.

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.

For someone called chromia, shes very blue

First was alita one and then moonracer and now finally the chromia the 3 g1 female Autobots has finally get the basics

She deserves more screen time!

Hope we get new figures of Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer, Greenlight and Lancer based on their G1 counterparts in the cartoon.

Your bio's on Transformers are always shortdetailed ans sweet, thank you dude :)

Hope she gets more recognition & screen apperances. Shes an underated badass. 💙

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.

Am I the only one who thinks Ironhide and Chromia being an Autobot veteran power couple is the way to go forth with them?

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.

As interesting and informative as ever. Looking forward to when the energy universe characters start popping up in the basics

0:49 I still can't see that scene without hearing "You can't shoot for shit, Shockwave!" Thanks Dr. Smoov.

I'm glad you talked about her at long last.

I hope the basics on Rampage will be uploaded soon

In the Transformers-Pyrusverse, Chromia is Dragonite's adoptive mother.

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.

0:48 Shockwave: “the female Autobot still exist!?”

It’s moments like this that make Starscream one of my favourite characters as more than just a comedic punching bag for Megatron

Basics on the Technobots

4:35 I always loved that alt mode. It was used for Afterburner in g1

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

After 102719171 years we finally have this video

Chromia: Oh Ironhide, you'll come back for me, won't you? Ironhide: (Proceeds to get killed off)

One of my favorite Transformers.🤘

There needs to be a love triangle between Chromia, Bluestreak and Silverstreak. They truly understand each other's pain.

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 prefer light cycle Chromia. It fits her better than the speedster mold

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.

Thanks Chris, I wanted to see this one!

Awesome video 😊 keep up the great work! 👍

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

Cybertronian historians will call her "Windblade's pal". Another great video!

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.

Please Next Thunderwing please

She's so cool! Let me see her versions. In general: tough as nails G1 cartoon: basically female Ironhide who also dates Ironhide ROTF: almost just a background character IDW: overprotective towards her -crush- friend and -will- would kill for her Cyberverse: a worried friend who joins to fight in the war IDW 2019: a cop ready to beat someone's ass Netflix triology: guerrilla sniper

Car or bike? Naw, I'll be controversial and say boat.

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.

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

Great Stuff, as always!

Next you should do the basics on Lugnut

If any future TF media decided to bring back GF Chromia (Thunderblast), she should be sisters with Autobot Chromia.

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.

I love your videos! Can you possibly do an updated video of windblade next?

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.

Finally, one of my favorite characters.

3:38 In the movie production art, they are referred to as Arcee1, Arcee2 and Arcre3, but obviously Hasbro didn't think those names were interesting enough to decorate the packaging for their toys.

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 like her as a car

We, DEFINITELY, need more female Transformers.

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.

Yes! More love for the girls! Thanks, Chris.

Shes light blue, she is now my favorite character.

Even years later, being reminded that Starscream became the ruler of Cybertron in IDW is still so weird to consider.

I hope we get a Firestar episode soon

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...😢

Chromia in her Cyberverse form is beautiful 😍

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.

Cool!

Ironhide : Now That's My Girl

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 gotta say I find IDW's Chromia rather tragic. In the panel where it's Ironhide making the arrest, it almost looks as if there's a tinge of regret on both their faces. It's also interesting to see Starscream connect to Chromia through their behind-the-scenes schemes but also the desire to be better than they were. I do have a softspot for G1 Chromia, especially when she playfully scolds Ironhide on his manners.

Chromias storyline in idw is still one of my favorite transformers stories

Chromia is a seasoned, tough-as-nails infiltrator who's adept at unflinching sabotage and provide useful intelligence, and just like the Cityspeaker, Windblade, she hails from the planet Camius. Bluntly honest and a little married to her job, she doesn't make an ideal friend, but she can nevertheless be fiercely protective, a quality which also makes her an exceptional bodyguard, sometimes don't believe she should take part in a war that was not on her home.

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

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

One of the most badass characters ever

Here are my top 5 favorite female Transformers: 1. Arcee 2. Elita-1 3. Chromia 4. Windblade 5. Moonracer Moonracer and Chromia need more love, along with other female Autobots.

Honestly in the case for alt mode for her in my opinion is always a bike for me personally cause a lot of people born in the early 2000s(2001 in my case) would’ve been more familiar with her motorcycle mode as their chromia. While I love the siege figure for being more g1 I thinking her most recent toy works better for me cause I feel that each of elitia 1’s crew should have different alt modes from each other but be different to the point where they couldn’t be a remold/recolor of one another(power of the primes-siege)

I hope we get a video on Sunstreaker

Cool

I've seen Gears and Chase are getting new toys in the Legacy United line too. How about making videos about them?

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?

Thanks to IDW she’s a character I want to see so much more of her. Along with Moon Racer, Firestar, and Nautica

One of the best female Transformers characters there is.

Finally we got one of the best female transformers 😁

I feel like she needs a gimmick to really stand out. Perhaps she could be a pseudo triple changer where the 2 wheels of her "tron cycle" mode would split and reconfigure to make her a quadcopter. That one iteration of her already splits the wheels for the robot mode. Plus, in quadcopter mode she could fly around with Windblade. Of course, I haven't watched or read any of the media involving them, so for all I know she can already do this.

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.

Nice
