    I believe she cleans up way better than the Moonracer mold does. With the canopy folding in further due to there not being a combiner peg.

    Also as far as I can tell the parts she shares is the neck strud, the hands, and the upper legs. Which compromises of 3 parts each. A total of 9 pieces from the same sprew. Which is the softer non paintable plastic. I'm curious how loose or not those parts are.
    And also the wheels are the same. Coming from the same mold. That's another 4 parts.

    The hands are different. They are hollow on the underside.

    It shares the parts from the sprue that didn't need to be remade for the removal of the combiner gimmick, I think. All blue and clear hard plastic parts are two different sprues.


    Edit: belay that - biceps and ankles are also soft plastic sprue and those are new parts.

    Might be that all sprues for this toy are new molds, but a few parts were copy&pasted between the .CAD file designs.

    After watching the video I'm hoping the joints are tighter than they appeared. I do want one though.

    That is also a possibility. Seeing how they did Hun-Gurr basically strip the design and make a whole new skin over the skeleton of the design. You can still see with the hands and the rear side of the arms that he is a Silverbolt in disguise. I am not sure who designed who when it comes to the transformers or if they use new ideas/programming. You can usually see signature ideas from certain designers with the toy line. And it is an artistic style as well. Since CW everything seems more streamlined. While before the difference was wild and out there. You can't compare figures like Roadbuster,Whirl and Brainstorm in T30. The difference is huge. While in CW you can see some of the same elements with different figures, well ofc they have to be compatible and stand at the same hight. But what I mean is the same hinge types and folding techniques return.

    She's excellent. having every version so far of this mold, I can tell you that she's easily the best version.

    I'll get tron bike chromia, but only for a new character.

    I got the T30 Chromia, and it is hard to let go of her. She is a excellent figure. The new one however is so much more cartoon accurate since she used to be "that car". Both are good toys, good designs and it will be the difference in if you are more leaning towards the cartoon or the comics I believe the IDW.

    T30 chromia is so good I think she’s worth keeping. It’s not like transformers can’t change modes. And if you like to paint figures...extra fembot.

    Exactly. I plan on her to be repainted into my OC Decepticon SHIV.
