Revision as of 09:52, 26 January 2024
The Chromatic Star Federation is the space force (and governing body?) of the Chromobots. Its Central Control facility is based on Chromos Five, the species' home planet.
Fiction
Transmute and Mikros were dispatched by the Chromatic Star Federation to Earth, with the mission of capturing or eliminating the escaped criminal, Predator. He told the human boy Dudley that he could think of them as the police of the Chromatic Star Federation. The Chromobots issue 16
Two weeks later, Predator himself mused that it was only logical that the Chromatic Star Federation would have sent police star ships after him. His suspicions were proven correct when he was decked by Transmute. Issue 17
Notes
- Quite what the Chromatic Star Federation is and does is unclear from references to it:
- In issue 15, Transmute introduces himself to Dudley as being from the Chromobot Empire – a terminology that is dropped after this issue in favour of referring only to Chromos Five or the Chromatic Star Federation.
- Narration in issue 16 refers to Transmute and Mikros being from the Chromatic Star Federation, though Transmute's phrasing ("You perhaps would call us the police of the Chromatic Star Federation.") suggests that not all members of the federation go out on peacekeeping missions like theirs.
- In the next issue, Predator muses that the Chromatic Star Federation is likely to have sent "police star ships" after him, suggesting a non-police part of the Federation... but later, Transmute approaches Predator with "I am Transmute of the Chromatic Star Federation!", with no distinction as being police.
- In the issue after that, Mikros seems to refer to the "C.S.F." as "they", as if the organisation is a separate group of which he is not a member.
- Given the contradictory evidence, The Transformers UK Appendix is taking the simple route of putting all the police-like Chromobots under the Federation banner, and presenting that organisation as the peacekeeping force of the wider Chromobot Empire.
- "Chromatic" in this context means "of or pertaining to Chromobots".
