Chromia character confirmed, Megatron and Skids toy boxes March 27th, 2009

TF08 have posted their sec­ond batch of images for the week, this time show­ing Skids and Mega­tron in their boxes, along­side the new blue motor­cy­cle char­ac­ter, ‘Chro­mia’.

The packet describes Chromia’s char­ac­ter as a female friend of Iron­hide (part­ners — aka a love inter­est) with sis­ters, pre­sum­ably two given the three dif­fer­ent bikes. This char­ac­ter pro­file matches the out­line of Chro­mia given on Wikipedia based on the first gen­er­a­tion ani­mated series in the episode, “The Search for Alpha Trion.”. There appears to be no men­tion of Chro­mia com­bin­ing with any other robot/toys to form what was thought would be Arcee.

Chro­mia is tough as nails, and always spoil­ing for a fight. She’s […] friends with Iron­hide for cen­turies, and their reunion on Earth […] one of the high points of the war for both of them. Now they […] side-by-side, hunt­ing and destroy­ing Decep­ti­cons. nei­ther of […] has ever been hap­pier. The two robots make great part­ners, and […] along with her sis­ters, are an invalu­able part of the […].

Jetfire Legends toy revealed, combination with Optimus Prime confirmed March 22nd, 2009

Aus­tralian forums OCTA have cap­tured new images of the leader class Jet­fire toy, one of the last remain­ing char­ac­ters for us to see in toy mode. The pack­ag­ing shows both robot mode and Black­bird alt mode, it also con­firms that the toy can com­bine with the leader class Opti­mus Prime.

His bio reads:

Jet­fire grew tired of war a long time ago. The reck­less ambi­tion of the Decep­ti­cons, and the sense­less vio­lence of their war sick­ened him, and so he left Cybertron to go into hid­ing. The form he even­tu­ally chose on Earth seemed appro­pri­ate for one who wished to remain unseen. He slum­bered in peace for years. Now, reawak­ened by the arrival of the war on Earth, he decides once again to enter the fight — this time on the side of the Auto­bots, and this to end it for good, what­ever the cost.

There is also another “Flight Mode” opti­mus prime toy that shows the com­bi­na­tion with Jetfire:
