Talk:Chromia (ROTF)

Fiction snip?

If Chromia isn't, well, Chromia in the fiction but another Arcee, shouldn't we get rid of the fiction section for the moment? - Charles RB, 12:25 25 June 2009 (GMT)

We can have the fiction on both pages, with appropriate name changes and notes to say Chromia is just a component of Arcee in the movie, but is a separate character as far as Hasbro is concerned. --FFN 07:30, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

Main picture

Isn't the current main picture supposed to be of Arcee's combined form, not Chromia alone? It may have her colors (so either it's a miscolor, or the combined form does end up completely blue), but that definitely isn't her solo design - no wheel above the head, for a start.

Actually you're right, that's not Chromia, that actually looks more like the purple one. And I think this image has been posted twice on tfw2005, once shooped to let it look like the combined form and once this exact one with the poster claiming that the scanner was a little iffy as it's not supposed to be blue but purple.

Right arm

The toy section claims that the stand can attach to the right arm, but this is not mentioned in the instructions, and I certainly can't figure out how to do it (it looks like it could attach to the left arm, but it would end up aiming at her face). Could someone clarify?KrytenKoro 18:21, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

I'm with you: until someone can show a way that the cannon can attach to her arm, I cut that bit out of the article. A lot of the toy section read like it had been written by someone who had never actually seen the packaging, and just assumed the press photos were the same that would be on the back of the card. I tried to fix all that, but I'd still like to see someone get Chromia to stand steadily with the support thing turned backwards. --Buttbutt 19:21, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

I've got it set up like that right now. Make sure you don't have it like shown on the box, but with the guns pointing up (they are different lengths, making it impossible to balance with the guns on the ground).KrytenKoro 11:34, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

There are two posts on the gun stand that line up with two holes on the inside of that arm as if it was meant to attach there. Unfortunately, it slides right back out. I think it might've been an abondoned gimmick. Riddlerj 20:49, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

i managed to do it :) you have to make the right arm look a bit silly but it does work :)

Toy Issue

Has anyone else had a problem with their Chromia toy? On mine, her chest refused to stay connected. It's similar to the problem with Movie Brawl's arms. I don't know if it's a mold problem or just on my figure.Riddlerj 19:28, 3 July 2009 (EDT) 98.235.18.165 19:14, 3 July 2009 (EDT)

Bike model and make

This one's for the motorcycle junkies out there. Arcee (well, red bike) we know transforms into a Ducati, definitely an 848. Any of the motorcycle junkies think Chromia transforms into a Suzuki B-King? --Lonegamer78 02:20, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

Sorted!--Rosicrucian^Talk 15:00, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

Someone doesn't like Chromia's new art

I'm not against, funny and cartoony mainpics, as a matter of fact, I was for the issue of having Brawl have his mainpic be his Bumper Battler toy art. But this picture is so HORRIBLY pixelated. D: I think Chromia's original mainpic would be better, at least until we find a better quality pic of this one. --Ascendron 11:42, 26 February 2010 (EST)

I second the objection to this piece of art. Khajidha 14:10, 26 February 2010 (EST)

As it's a website graphic from a Flash file, this is probably the best resolution we are ever going to see the picture in. Mostly, I wanted to use the art *somewhere*, and Chromia's last main picture showed more of Sideways than it did of her. (I didn't feel the pixelation was terrible at the resolution as featured on the page, but knocking the size down to 300px might help that some.)

Character artwork is kind of a problem with the bike girls in general. The only other alternative I can think of for Chromia is her deluxe headshot, as I have no idea whether there's anything useable for her from the comics.

(Also, I am tempted to stab Ascendron for using "fail" in this context. Just getting that out there.) --Monzo 15:02, 26 February 2010 (EST)

How about that close up of her face while chasing Sideways in Shanghai, just before Arcee jumps in? Or the shot of her rolling out with Ironhide when he and the bike girls go to find Sam? -- SFH 15:37, 26 February 2010 (EST)

This? I thought that was Elita (haven't looked at the other scene yet). If we're just going to use a face close-up, though, I don't see a reason to not just use her box-art. It'd take me a little bit to dig up, granted. --Monzo 16:06, 26 February 2010 (EST)

At the very least, she should have at least one picture of her movie appearance on her own page. Again, this wasn't a problem on Brawl's page, but considering Chromia's fiction section is pretty much just a redirect to Arcee's page... yeah... Also, @Monzo: Threaten fail. :P hahaha, just joshing you. --Ascendron 16:04, 26 February 2010 (EST)

I'd feel better about it if it were a picture of just Chromia, versus all three. That's why I don't like it. It's not really a picture of her. It's a picture of the Arcee ladies. Also, yeah, using "fail" like that could be a bannable offense here if I'm in a bad mood. --ItsWalky 16:40, 26 February 2010 (EST)

FWIW, there's a single panel in Tales of the Fallen #6 that shows about 5/8ths of Chromia, if that helps at all. --Jeysie 17:01, 26 February 2010 (EST)
