Although I like the chrome application on most figures, I have to admit that when it comes to longitivity, I prefer good painted silver instead. Chrome is to prome to chipping as time passes just like the BW Transmetal toys.

My only real complaint abouy chrome application are Grimlock's excessiveness and Cyclonus' wings and to a lesser degree, Sideswipe's chromed gun/canon and rear spoiler. Aside from those I am happy with the chome applications.
