Toy review - Generations Chromia (Deluxe)

[philby]

what are the main differences between the hasbro and takara versions? pretty sure I want the takara windblade and arcee but don't know about chromia.

Chromia has some lavender highlights, Arcee has more grey, no black
Both more like the G1 cartoons

Windblade looks more like Sarah Stone's artwork, both with colour map and face design.

Personally I have Windblade on order, but am quite happy with the Hasbro versions of the other two

Lovely figure, and a nice surprise as I never paid any attention to Prime Arcee.

Backpack is a little bit too large to be ignored, get rid of the screen and it would massively reduce the size of the backpack. Arms are tiny and hard to pose, but better than I expected.

Nice little figure of what could end up being one interesting character (results of Combine Wars/ Windblade ongoing pending).

i just got this and it might seem like a dumb question but on the back of the card she is photographed with 2 guns, but only 1 came in the box..? am i missing something or is the photo using an extra or spare from someone else?

I'm not looking at the packaging and don't remember it but if it's the image I'm thinking of the 2nd gun was kindly donated by Arcee.

And now that I've looked up the package art, it is definitely Arcee's smaller pistol.

I think that is just for promotional purposes. When I got my Chromia there was only one gun too. The shop that sold it also stuck a note on it to say "Please note figure only comes with one gun".

the second gun in the promo shot is actually Arcee's smaller gun
