Notes
- The name "Chrome" is recycled fromChromedome's small form in Japanese Generation 1 continuity, as the first threeMicron Boosterassortment "headliners" have names similar to Japanese Autobot leaders.[2]
- Chrome likely had a localized American name coined for theTransformers Collectors' Club's online series of bios, to match Thyristor as "Road Rebel"andSynapseas "Impulse", but with the collapse of said system circa 2010, no bio ever surfaced.
- In 2015, the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime would finally give Chrome some characterization and a team affiliation with his toy wavemates.
