She wears it a bit more neatly than Starscream does IMO. I just wish she had more pink instead of the Ramjet colors.


Red Alert is quite a joy.

I passed on Sideswipe, but I think Red Alert is a definite buy for me.

To be fair, if I recall, Smashdown is a she in D-Maxs headcannon, so they're the Smashdown sisters

Anyone found a way to integrate Chromia on the Elita-1 combiner as a 5th member?

I think O.supreme's sig shows a good effort

@Stargrave that's better

I know, but I still enjoy the old thrill of finding things in store.

Sometimes, you gotta make a different move. This time might be one of em. I had to go the Amazon route to get Smashdown. Haven't seen one in a store, ever. If I do, I will buy it just out of novelty.

I've just seen them start showing up in Targets near me while looking for the rainmakers.

Actually that is Dogfight

https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dogfight_(Adventure)#Toys

But I had suggested that maybe someone could fashion Chromia into a backpack of sorts for Orthia, or maybe even a shield? It's just that the weight of a Legends class figure sometimes is too much for a combiner, a Deluxe would definitely be too heavy. Unfortunately I don't have Chromia myself to experiment with. But if anyone does have all of them, feel free to let us know if you were able to make it work, and how.

That's my bad for just a quick look I mistook dogfight's colours for Chromia! Sorry about that

You're not missing out on much. It's really not a good figure.

That's pretty much it. Orthia normally resides on my daughter's shelf (along with TR Arcee and Nautica). She is building a nice little group of female TF for herself. I asked here if she wanted Chromia, and she didn't, specifically because of the lack of compatibility w/ the others. I hope my influence was not too strong on her, I actually tried to persuade her to get a toy I REALLY didn't want, but she was adamant about NOT wanting it...so I have to respect that.

Oh, and if anyone is wondering why Victorion and Megatronia are not on her shelf...It's a space issue, she only has so much. In fact the combiners are all spread across shelves in 3 rooms right now .

Well, I mean, even regardless of Chromia's lack of compatibility with the others, it's like they went out of their way to deliberately make the Chromia mold worse overall, especially with the intrusive altmode kibble hanging off her legs.

So... has anyone who ordered Galactic Man and/or Lancer from Pulse received a ship notification yet? I figured thered be a small delay, but this is really taking a while.

This might be a better fit for the *Selects* thread, but I was wondering if there were any unsold units left over from SDCC? I notice EE has them scheduled to ship in August, other sites say December though....

I mean, Galactic Man is still in stock on Pulse, but it's Lancer I really want. I have my pre-order in at BBTS, but anywhere I can get it sooner, the better (if roughly the same price, not paying scalper prices on eBay).

For me to order thought EE as opposed to BBTS would be about $2 more after its all said-and-done, but $2 isn't that big a deal if I can truly get it next month, as opposed to December.

Skyfire / Jetfire is finally available on the BBTS.

And as of writing this, available to pre-order from Amazon, their release date is: July 29, 2019 (if you trust that.)

Hey, I disagree. I think Chromia's a decent and rather fun figure, and her weapons have some fun possibilities - possibly the most of any figure in the line. And I like that her altmode better resembles the van from the cartoon than the T30 version did.

I kinda agree with you, but that humongous backpack really turns me off (especially when compared to the rest of the Siege line), because unlike the Voyagers who have backpacks, hers is cluttered and doesn't work for her character (unlike Megatron, who I think rocks the backpack this way, or Prime).

Everything else is fine. Articulation is the Siege standard, so I'm fine with that. Robot mode from the front looks good, and I do like the alt mode. Plus those weapons are pretty cool.

In the end, it might be that I have no connection with her character, but I just don't want to spend my hard earned cash on this figure. I collect only the best, and unfortunately she doesn't do that for me. That doesn't mean she's bad though, because she's pretty good, just not what I want in Siege.

Despite her shared failings with her mold sisters, Chromia does do a few things better. Her feet, for one thing. Also her overall sculpt is really really nice, and like Zelda mentioned, her gun/weapons are really cool. I really can't decide if I like her better than T30 or not. And I don't feel like it's a decision I need to make!

I prefer the T30 version because it better resembles the IDW version

He's out in Canada so that makes sense.

Just curious. Does TRU in Canada, or any other B&M retailer have Jetfire, or is it online only?
