    Default How powerful is Chromia?

    Last week, Transformers Earth Wars said they were looking for an Autobot powerful enough to fight a Combiner alone.
    Based on this week's newsletter, it looks like that Autobot may be Chromia:


    How powerful is Chromia?
    Does she have raw physical power/strength or massive amounts of firepower?

    According to her CHUG Tech Specs Bio...
    Strength: 7
    Intelligence: 7
    Speed: 8
    Endurance: 6
    Rank: 6
    Courage: 9
    Firepower: 8
    Skill: 5

    Endurance: 6
    Rank: 6
    Courage: 9
    Firepower: 8
    Skill: 5
    Overall = 56/80 (or 70%)

    Compare with say Devastator's G1 tech specs...
    Strength: 10
    Intelligence: 2
    Speed: 1
    Endurance: 9
    Rank: 6
    Courage: 10
    Firepower: 8
    Skill: 4

    Devastator's Endurance rating is above Chromia's Strength and Firepower, so... I'd say unlikely?
    (P.S.: the G1 cartoon isn't a great metric as they just portray a lot of the Transformers as being practically godlike until the story needs someone to be hurt or killed - so I'm disregarding cartoon portrayal)

    Might be a reference to the Combiner Hunters - of which Chromia was a part of in IDW and toy exclusives. Will she have her sword?

    Until I see her combat demonstration video, I cannot confirm how she fights.

    There are three combat styles in the game, melee, ranged and hybrid.
    Melee uses fists or sword, ranged is with a gun and hybrid can use either, although they usually tend to favor melee unless at great distance from a target.

    Based on the picture above, it looks like she's intended to be ranged, judging from the handcannon she is holding.

    Combiner Hunter Chromia had a different than usual paint job too, in addition to the sword, but that's the one connection I can make between that character and taking on Gestalts.

    'Powerful' isn't just physical strength and/or firepower. There are other attributes such as engaging, influencing & beguiling. Chromia has this in spades. Click on the link of the first post.

    I think they may be throwing us a blue herring, based on this dialogue:

    Unless Drift has seriously messed up his gender pronouns, we can take it as evidence that Chromia is not the Combiner thrasher they are seeking.

    Chromia toy
    I assume this is the toy they used for the ingame model.

    But there are other ways to take down Combiners without strength or firepower.
    When Sky Lynx encountered Predaking, like he did in the G1 series, he defeated Predaking by simply forcing the Predacons to disengage from each other.
    While Predaking is taunting Sky Lynx about his inevitable defeat, Sky Lynx jumps on him and then explains he hit the connection point holding Predaking together in their combined form.
