Toy review - Generations Chromia (Deluxe)

[Tober]

Cool. You've already panel-lined and weathered yours?

[Omega Metro]

She looks awesome. Hopefully Chromia can persuade Arcee to go to the gym and lose her thunder thighs.

Yeah she was easy. Jetfire took me ages...

Does anyone else leave her weapon in hand when storing her weapon in alt mode? I find it looks less awkward as an exhaust/muffler than pegged into her side.

I quite like her. I think the colour scheme is really good, the head sculpt is a real shout out to her G1 origins and the fact you can combine her back wheels under her is a good (albeit maybe unintentional) shout out to her ROTF appearance. The instruction manual is as usual freakin useless but she is not too hard to do.

I'm not sure how I feel about her alt-mode, it's kinda cool but I think I still woulda liked something more along her G1 lines. I'm hoping that if they don't do a Combiner Wars Computron that they may at least still repurpose this figure for Afterburner, since I will probably skip the Timelines version of him.

I'll share the reactions of my missus and my mate to the toy


Me: Check it out, a new female Transformer toy
Missus: (trying to feign interest) Oh thats nice, is she like Arcee?
Me: Yeah kinda
Mate: She has big blue metal boobs
Me: Yes, yes she does
Mate: And is that the seat on her arse? Does that mean that Optimus can ride her arse?
Missus: Oh thats just lovely
Me: No, Ironhide is her boyfriend, Optimus is dating Elita
Mate: Does she have a nice cushy ass-seat too?
Missus: Why don't you take your friend and toys out to the shed to play dear?

Yep, would've been mighty accommodating if Hasbro had given her a second gun.

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.

[prjkt]

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).
