I'm all for Gears, and I'm all for Chromia. Shame she doesn't have the smoky orange canopy that she was first shown with, but it's not an issue.

Now I shall wait impatiently for these and their wave-mates to appear in retailers near me.

I seem to recall her using a gun at least once or twice in Windblade's series. Might be wrong though.

Ignoring the horrendous mistransformation, this looks pretty great. Amazed they could take the PRID Arcee mold and completely change it like that.

I also like how they made the wheel struts out of clear plastic to make them look like they're not actually connected, but rather sort of "float" in place. Really adds to the whole lightcycle thing. I am worried about them breaking, though. Clear plastic can be a bitch.

I really like her, the colors pop. I could do without the Arcee attempt, but its good stuff nonetheless.

chromia's got "afterburner remold" stamped all over her.

its just so close its unreal.

really like the look of her too but odds are like most TF stuff no it wont hit the shelves in ireland.

we get nothing nowadays, ya shoulda seen the AOE stuff. nothing past the flip and change stuff as generations and stuff like thats been kept to UK retailers.

still i like her enough to maybe buy on line but the postal charges put ya off.

well see.

So....why does she have Conehead-faced knees? (Or maybe Cyclonus without his "ears"?) I'm looking at my FE Prime Arcee, and while there are some similarities there, the face-ish area is flat on my Arcee. It looks like they rounded out the area under the knee spikes making a face looking shape. :lol:

That's the thing. In the third issue Windblade made a point to mention that Camians don't like using firearms because missing might result in unnecessary damage or destruction.

You might have seen Blurr shoot. He and Chromia look really close in that series.

I kinda wish they stuck with the very tinted cockpit plastic. It doesn't look BAD like this, but I thought it looked cooler

more specifically because they live/lived in a titan. so it would be like firing a bullet in a submarine. if you miss you either hit something important or open a hole in the hull.

Also a good point.

To be frank, I just like the halberd. To me, melee weapons can convey a lot more personality and uniqueness than guns can.

I have to agree. I think it would have been a simple enough thing to have re-cast Orion Pax's weapon in translucent blue. It'd save on the cost of molding a new weapon, and it'd be reasonably close to Chromia's weapon in the Windblade mini. Now though, I'm already figuring if there's a way to detach the backpack to turn it into her shield.

I don't "think" Gears is identifying himself as female in the comics... unless there's something I've missed recently (???).

He was talking about Chromia from the previous news post.

Perfect example of how thread merging is a bad idea. :lol:

yeah, i've said that before too. i don't understand it.. it SERIOUSLY hinders any discussion on any of these stories.. all of these are lumped together and all of the movie toys discussions are lumped together. it's one of the reasons i rarely ever comment on anything.

Amazon update; ohmagod these prices. Also these descriptions are dorky as all hell XD

Arcee is one of the most dangerous Autobots, despite her comparatively small size. She believes the Decepticons must be stopped at all costs. That belief, combined with her combat training, makes her a pure warrior, a hunter who mixes speed and sudden action to strike Decepticon targets whenever she can. Convert, arm and attack with all the Transformers action you can handle! This Arcee figure is a hardcore warrior in robot mode, and she carries a sword in one hand and a blaster in the other for battle against Decepticon foes. When she needs to chase down the foe, she can convert to Cybertronian Cruiser mode! Whatever mode your Arcee figure is in, her enemies will think twice before taking her on! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

Bring home Windblade's bodyguard with Transformers Generations Deluxe Chromia. The blue motorbike can change from a Cybertronian warrior to an Autobot vehicle in no time, and comes armed with twin pistols for Decepticon-fighting fun!

She's the first fan-designed robot! Transformers Generations Deluxe Windblade is a servant to Caminus, Cityspeaker of Metroplex on Cybertron, and the first Transformer that Hasbro let fans design. Along with their own artists, Hasbro let fans pick her vehicle mode, faction, personality, alt mode, weapons, and more - and today, we've got an awesome Kabuki-inspired defender of what's right! With her bodyguard Chromia, she's ready to make Cybertron a better place for everyone... assuming Starscream doesn't stop her! This VTOL jet can change to a robot, and is armed with a swell purple sword - and a a scabbard, to boot!

He's a genius! Transformers Generations Voyager Brainstorm can invent ennui guns and mystery briefcases, all while flying around the galaxy and changing shape. This Headmaster has a tiny robot which changes into a head, and he can also fit inside the cockpit of Brainstorm's vehicle mode. Bring this Autobot weapons designer home tod
