    Another really beautiful toy from Hasbro, and another terrific gallery. I am definitely on the "paint her eyes light blue, right away" bandwagon. I also wish they had kept the tinted plastic for the canopy, but it is by no means a deal breaker. So, are we going to see these in November, or is the date going to be pushed further out again?

    I'm looking forward to this as I've never owned the Arcee mold. I think she looks great.

    Chromia looks awesome. I'd really like to get her and Arcee, if I can ever afford them...

    Prime Arcee is a great toy and this just improves on it. No more wings or tail stinger and in a beautiful deco to boot. Sweet.

    It really looks fantastic. The remolding done in this figure works really really well. The backpack is a bit ugly but the toy looks to balance with no problems in spite of it.

    What's the big deal with the clear canopy? Stock photos should NEVER be used as an indication of what the final product is going to be like. It's not like the entire robit mode is sitting there looking up through the clear plastic. I guess if people resort to that pathetic level of bitching it shows how good the toy actually ended up being.

    I love that group shot Simon.

    Also, I kinda love that artwork of Prime Airachnid as a dolphin.

    Have they even given this dolphin a name. Seriously this is maybe one of the best re-purposing potential retool designs they've ever done.

    YES! a repaint as a fembot Afterburner will totally be purchased.

    lazy that they remolded like 50% of a toy to create something that looks so different? i dont see that as lazy, in the slightest.

    Indeed. more boatformers is a win.

    ditto on both counts.

    I cant wait for this figure to arrive in my hands... hopefully that happens so

    Well Lamprey's working on retooling Arcee, Chromia, and Windblade into female Technobots while making two of his own to complete the set. So there's that to look forward to.

    That sounds pretty cool. I like the idea of FemComputron.

    I'd like to make it a full Futurama reference and call it "Femputron".

    If Hasbro decides to make a Computron Chromia does not need to be repainted into Afterburner Hasbro has made enough repaints and remodels i say all new figures for Computron that aren't fembots.

    I don't think we have to worry about Afterburner or the others getting gender bent. Chromia's figure doesn't appear like it could combine in a cohesive manner even if it was intended. Looking at the Combiner Wars deluxes show that their ports are imbedded in their chests. Chromia, Arcee, nor Windblade could handle that becuase it would interfere with transfomation.

    Speaking from personal ventures, I'm repainting FOC Bruticus into Defensor. I have a spare RiD Arcee and wanted to see how well it functioned as a foot. Without extensive modding, it doesn't. Even just removing a port from the Combaticons would not be enough becuase she's too short. Even then, there would be only true one place to put the port and that's the tail fin underside.

    Minor FYI, while I did mention Lamprey was working on fem-Technobots, I never said anything about a combined mode. Sorry to disappoint but I'm going off of what he stated and he did not mention anything of making the figures combine.

    Is there a link to this custom set? I would very much to like to see the finished product.

    Well, the Generations Chromia is an amazing sculpt, even though it's derived from the Prime Arcee mold. My only gripe is the color scheme and the lack of a detachable canopy. I felt that there was so much potential for this mold, and they for some reason, just fell short. I decided to buy a few of them and retool them into the Impulse Gundam team (mecha from Gundam SEED Destiny). I have posted pics in the Radicons Custom forum as well, in case anyone is curious about the work involved in customizing them.

    Minor/Repaint: - Generations Chromia - new head, minor retooling, complete repaint
