    I only have a Henkei Astrotrain.

    Chrome really isn't that big of a deal breaker to me.

    What are you talking about? Sludge was front half chrome, gold chrome neck (granted it was under clear plastic but still) and the back half was grey plastic. And then back to chrome for the tail. Snarl and Slag had similar things happening and swoop was all chrome on his wings. Grimlock arguably had the least of it, but still, the G1 Dinobots still had the chrome as haphazardly placed as the Henkei.

    I will agree that it is a terrible toy though. Seriously, that should have gone through a few more edits before being produced.

    Sorry, forgot to add United. GHUGU then. Either way, I'm not typing the whole damn thing out.

    I never liked the chrome in either Henkei or United. Aside from a few figures, like Hound, Henkei's chrome either looked out of place and ugly (Astrotrain, Rodimus, Bumblebee) or would have looked good, except that due to only some parts being chromed, looked inconsistent (Optimus Prime). I don't like most of United's chrome either, although it does look okay on some figures, mainly Bumblebee (although only if you get the Goldbug upgrade) and Tracks.
