Not satisfied with Chromia's design? Thinking of holding off on buying her? Here's the mod for you. First cut out square sections of the gas tank exactly to where the little raised sections are (lay the gray bar against the tank to scribe your guide lines in) with your Dremel rotary toolor hobby knife. Then cut a section out of the frame behind the front tire. You can now fold the front of her body OVER the headlights without having to remove them and they're completely hidden! The wheel folds down against her back and she's much more movie-looking, poses better too. Best of all the cuts aren't really that noticeable in alt mode and you can't even see the front wheel cut at all.
Enjoy your new Chromia!

Has it even been confirmed that the "Elita-One/Moonracer" purple bike will have a figure? And if so, has it also been confirmed that the three figures will combine? They never combined in the movie, so why should the figures combine?
Not trying to start a forum war, just asking what I think are legitimate questions.

hasbro confirmed at botcon last month that the 3 bikes will combine in toy form only. The combination was dropped from the movie.
The third bike was also said to be a remold of Chromia.
The mod dosn't seem to remove too much plastic, and the parts that are removed aren't near the (what I assume to be) combination point either.

For the backdrop and floor in the pics, where did you get that? Or did you make it?

Yes, Jin is great at this, but it's just a modification.

Well Jin could've paid some one off, used Blackmail, Slow news day maybe? All joking aside i think mods for popular lines are normally front paged. Few weeks ago there was the one with Fallen, Breakaway & Rampage.
