Wow, they couldn't even be bothered to make it transform...

I thought that was pretty much confirmed to be the case.

Somehow, I think I'll be buying a lot fewer movie toys this time around. :-(

I bet they'll look cool onscreen, but the toy translations are leaving me cold.

Oh well. My wallet will smile.

Poor Chromia she looks like Reggie Unicycle from Galaxy High. Why was Michael Bay chosen to ruin Transformers?

I didn't like "Chromia" the first time we saw it without the stand a few months ago. And my opinion has not changed.

If this is a stand alone figure and not sold in a combining 3 pack it is disappointing to say the least.

The "wheels for feet" concept is not that farfetched. It means a significnat potential for speed, which is always cool. This does unfortunately mean a veery difficult time for the engineering dept to come up with a fig that will stand up on its own.

That said, I'm not sure this is correctly transformed. Most of the movie figs have had a definitely "finished changing" feel to them and this one doesn't feel right.

I will wait for now until we see the other two Biker Chicks.

Firstly I hate the whole wheels for feet concept.. it wouldnt be too bad on that giant transformer from the trailer but having it on others as well is just pushing the idea too far IMO.
But I am wondering one thing. Is Chromia one of the robots we see chasing down the silver car transformer in the trailer?

EDIT: Nevermind... i just downloaded the H|D trailer and saw that I'm right... you can see Arcee, Chromia and a third bike robot skating along after the silver car.. Man.. the ideas in this film are starting to bug me something silly.

That combine together to form Elita One (or Arcee idk)

That makes sense to me, the colors fit and they incorporate almost all the female autobots. Plus if the pink bike is Arcee then a "Combined Mode" name like Elita One seems to fit.

So I was correct in my assumption. :-B

I certainly hope not! :-x

That would really suck! :-x

That she is combined by three bikes okay, but three fembots combined to become Arcee?? :-x

NO!
Then Mr. Bay really f***** up ROTF! :-x

Ah, please don't bring up Wheeljack... I'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that he's not going to be in the film :-(

Michael Bay, if you're reading this... You know who we all want to see in TF3

I hope you're kidding. If they DID put him in the movie, he'd be a pink Decepticon scooter from Chevy. Now at your local dealership!

if you watch the trailer closely youll see two bikes that look like this and the purple one which is different. if you ask me i think chromia and the other one like her/him will form either side of arcee whilst the purple one will form the torso and head.
