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.
Now they need to work on the bad girls some more. Bring in Crashe as a proper Decepticon and bring back Thunderblast!
@@Undrave I agree. I also hope they make Strika a more prominent Decepticon. She appeared in Transformers Beast Machines, Animated, and Cyberverse. I'd vote for Strika to be the first female Transformer to be given a commander class sized figure.
Always four there must be: a leader, a rough-and-tumble outlaw bruiser, a by-the-book hard-nose, and a naive rookie.
@@TFfangeek
"I do not attack. I TERMINATE!"
- Strika, "The Will of the Few"
Now if only Firestar, Moonracer, Green Light and Lancer could get some more love.
Starscream's pardoning of Chromia... Man, Starscream is the character that just keeps on giving... Love it!
100% AGREE! 'Screamer has become such a layered character, and Chromia deserves the chance He gave her.
@@scotttemplin8331 Chromia's arc being a mirror of Starscream was the best thing to have happened in the franchise. He MAY be a jerk, but nobody asked what would happen if the seeker was put in charge of Cybertron since in the comic, he was constructed cold. His treacherous personality often led to his own comeuppance in the form of destruction, but sparing him is actually fitting for such a backstabber since killing him will leave behind a vengeful ghost.
Until she was pardoned off-planet by a Democratically Elected Starscream.
"Cybertronian motorcycle?" That's a Lightcycle, and you know it.
As a fan of Tron (if my username is an indication), I approve of Chromia being a lightcycle.
I remember seeing her toy in store, not knowing anything about her, and thinking her alt mode looked like Afterburner, from the Technobots.
I prefer the car mode for her, but I do like how they took elements of her original car mode and put it into the motorcycle, like the large windshield shape and other details. They didn’t just give her a new alt mode and make it completely different and unrecognizable.
Now there’s a crossover. Tron vs the Transformers.
@@Savagewolver Now all I'm imaging is the programs from Tron hopping into bodies built by either the Autobots or Decepticons.
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!
Greenlight, thunderblast, slipstream, Nautica, flamewar, and lancer ; "are we a joke to you?"
Meh.
She's like the 4th most populer female autobot
@@FredLloyd-Ward-iu4rm She was 3rd. Newcomer Windblade has overtaken her.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs most populer female autobots ar
1st arcee
2nd windblade
3rd elita
4th chromia
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.
Me too, love her in the WFC cartoon
Mine was Cyberverse first
A real shane her and Ironhide's relationship has never been allowed to have a larger focus.
Modern Transformers only seem to do same sex love, Optimus and Elita Ironhide and chromia these are never brought up. Hell Arcee get passed around like a party favor.
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.
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, mate.
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
Maybe they're not so different in that continuity after all? Hm. 🙂
First Ladybot to appear on-screen 💯
Hmm... apparently McFeely went to check, he found she's the first ladybot to speak.
I think first to appear wise she's tied with moonracer and firestar.
Pretty sure Nightbird predates her.
Nightbird wasn't Cybertronian though.
@@mitewing6531 Don't care
Still hot.
But really...TECHNICALLY RATCHET was SUPPOSED to be the first fembot on screen and be patterend after Nurse Ratchet from One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest.
Really? I need to look this up.
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.
Unfortunately, we never see them again in the show. Does this mean the Decepticons found them and put an end to them or do they still remain in hiding, continuing their guerrilla war to this day?
Thank you for one of the few truly enjoyable experiences on the internet.
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
Chromia certainly had quite a long journey to get where she is now
Chromia's vehicle mode in some modern releases resembles that of the light cycles from Tron.
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.
First was alita one and then moonracer and now finally the chromia the 3 g1 female Autobots has finally get the basics
For someone called chromia, shes very blue
Ah bu dee,
Ah bu dah,
Ah bu dee a bu dah...
I'm blue
Ah bu dee,
Ah bu dah,
Ah bu dee, Ah bu dah
She deserves more screen time!
Your bio's on Transformers are always shortdetailed ans sweet, thank you dude :)
Hope we get new figures of Chromia, Firestar, Moonracer, Greenlight and Lancer based on their G1 counterparts in the cartoon.
Let's hope Legacy's up to the task 🙏
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?
Apparently I'm not- glad to see the support for them!
Also, Chromia as a pretool for a G1ified Hashtag- yay or nay?
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'.
@@johnnyb.5281 Okay, that's adorable. You get bonus points from me for including Springer/Arcee content!
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho
Nothing against Ironhide and Chromia but Springer and Arcee were the first robot boyfriend and girlfriend power couple. Lol
Even though Chromia was on screen first her and Ironhide were not as much Bonnie and Clyde as Springer and Arcee were.
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

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!?”
Chromia: "Yes, we exist. And we always will."
@@LiamDyC” Such Noble Nonsense.” - Shockwave
4:35 I always loved that alt mode. It was used for Afterburner in g1
Basics on the Technobots
It’s moments like this that make Starscream one of my favourite characters as more than just a comedic punching bag for Megatron
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.
Ha! Like those two rookies can beat out Ironhide.
@@Fenris30 Bluestreak's not a rookie.
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.
Thanks Chris, I wanted to see this one!
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.
Awesome video 😊 keep up the great work! 👍
Please Next Thunderwing please
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
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
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.
Great Stuff, as always!
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.
Car or bike? Naw, I'll be controversial and say boat.
I love your videos!
Can you possibly do an updated video of windblade next?
Next you should do the basics on Lugnut
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
Another great video
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.
If any future TF media decided to bring back GF Chromia (Thunderblast), she should be sisters with Autobot Chromia.
Finally, one of my favorite characters.
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.
Deserved a new mold + there's more female transformers in Legacy without backpacks than there are with backpacks
For some reason, people don't count Override, Antagony, Strongarm, Shard, Windblade or Javelin when talking about Legacy Transformers who are female characters
None of them have backpacks, backpack female Transformers were always in the minority lol
@@CrimsonAzure-fh6yb antagony cheats a bit by using a male bots mold, but I didn't know fembot backpack syndrome has been cured.
That said most G1 Arcee toys using her cartoon model and all variants of the POTP Moonracer/Siege Chromia molds have backpack's
@@gabrielchee8470 "most G1 Arcee toys using the sunbow model" you mean all three of them lol
Siege Chromia always sucked even as PoTP Moonracer
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 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.
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.
I like her as a car
We, DEFINITELY, need more female Transformers.
Yes! More love for the girls! Thanks, Chris.
Shes light blue, she is now my favorite character.
I hope we get a Firestar episode soon
Even years later, being reminded that Starscream became the ruler of Cybertron in IDW is still so weird to consider.
Cool!
Cybertronian historians will call her "Windblade's pal".
Another great video!
Then she pulled the whole "World Trade Center bombing" stunt just to make Windblade go home
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.
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...😢
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
Chromia in her Cyberverse form is beautiful 😍
Ironhide : Now That's My Girl
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.
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
Chromias storyline in idw is still one of my favorite transformers stories
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
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?
I hope we get a video on Sunstreaker
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've seen Gears and Chase are getting new toys in the Legacy United line too. How about making videos about them?
Cool
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.
Thanks to IDW she’s a character I want to see so much more of her. Along with Moon Racer, Firestar, and Nautica
Nice
