still couldn't find me a chromia  

 

You can run, but you can't hide!   Face the wrath of the mighty homing stones!

Since the name rights belongs to Hasbro, they can reuse it to their unended desires. As long as they use it before the rights expire and lose that name(see Hot Rod).
I mean how many irriterated *insert any TF name* toys have we seen?

But incase they do lose that name, here's some alternatives to get the name back;

Autobot Elita-1
Cybertronian Elita-1
Elita-Minor

*runs*

 

I'm trying to get myself to accept this "3 Girls form a Lady" concept.  

 

I find it strange how we've seen pics of the other combinders but not this one.

Bay says she'll die in the movie while the novel says nothing to the kind.

 

I cannot read, I need pics. Sorry  

 

No Gestalt is a german word and means "outer appearance" and sounds pretty stupid to me, calling a combiner a "Gestalt".

Other words for Gestalt would be stature, likeness, shape, etc.
Does that senseless usage originate from Japan?

I would appreciate if we could stop calling it "Gestalt".

Everytime I read that, I have to suppress laughing about that.

 

Gestalt is the german word for form or shape.. and the English use is to show the concept of wholeness yes I stole the definition from somewhere

 

S250's theory is exactly right. Check out these pics, especially this one.

I don't think the bikes turn into a humanoid robot

 

It'l be like connecting three ugly sticks together. forming a Pile of Ugly!

 

That's only half the definition. The whole definition of gestalt is "a structure, configuration, or pattern of physical, biological, or psychological phenomena so integrated as to constitute a functional unit with properties not derivable by summation of its part."

The term was lifted, more or less, from Immanuel Kant (among others) and his theory of gestalt psychology, which postulated that the brain is a holistic unit and more than simply the sum of its parts. As it applies to Transformers, Devastator is a unique personality, and not simply a combination of the constituent robots.

Sorry for the interruption. We now return to your regularly-scheduled discussion of children's playthings.  

 

well, I bought a Chromia yesterday, and I think she is a pretty nifty figure.

got her for 3 reasons

1) I always tend to buy female figures of toy lines I like, because they don't tend to make too many. (studies show that for toy lines targeting boys, figures of girls sell poorly)
2) I'm a sucker for a motorcycle transformer
3) I'm a sucker for a combiner

this one hits all 3. although I think she could have done without the firing missile, and her chest doesn't want to stay together, she is still one of the more unique transformers I have. I'd rank her below Sideswipe and Breakaway, but above voyager Starscream. but that's just my opinion.

 

Maybe it's just me, but Chromia and Arcee don't seem to have the same head. Very similar, but the chins and parts of the helmets look different to me.

 

the 3rd bike is moonracer
the 2nd pic (after arcee)

 

man, I'm kinda tempted to pick start picking up the bikes, but I really don't want to get any until there's official confirmation that it's going to combine and look pretty cool.

I hate the mysteries:

Does Arcee combine?
What's Barricade Human Alliance look like?
What's Leader Starscream look like?

The suspense.......it wounds me.

 

pff buldegon is the one that has me all hyped up, along with dirge

 

Yes! Hasbro sed so.

The mystery is what it looks like.

 

I really wish they released all three near each other though. I've been playing around with Chromia and all I've come up with is the possibility of her being a gun only, which doesn't make much sense, but eh.

I have noticed one thing though: The tab under her exhaust pipes/missile launcher has a tab on each time. Perhaps all three weapon arms combine?

 

Totally. I want to see Dirge and Bludgeon so bad.


I still havnet' bought the cycle girls. I don't know if I will, but I'm eager to see the correct transformations and combination of all three sisters.

 

I picked up a Chromia the other day, and its a weird one, I like it but I don't know why.

Arcee was actually my favourite figure out of the whole 2007 line because its works so well with my Revoltech Revy (see my sig) so I picked up 2009 Chromia.

Looks like Revy will be getting a whole garage of bikes...
