History:

Personality:
Upon meeting Chromedome, he strikes one as a very friendly and personable bot. He gets along with others well enough and has quite a few drinking buddies to relax with. Others note that he and Rewind are nearly inseparable, and that it’d be weird to have Chromedome somewhere and not Rewind. That he’s Brainstorm’s only friend, and Prowl’s closest is also notable. Deep down, Chromedome is fairly cynical, sarcastic, a talented liar, and world-weary. Chromedome isn’t a temperamental mech per say, but he does reach his limits quickly and can be easily annoyed when others push their boundaries with him. While appearing to be good-natured, he is neither optimistic or upbeat, he relies on Rewind to be those for him. Like most Cybertronians during the war, especially the Autobot and Decepticon ones, Chromedome has seen his fair share of fighting. He’s been shot at, sliced, and many other things, at this point he’s not afraid of injury or pain. Chromedome’s bravery and fighting skill is such that he can throw himself in the thick of things without much worry for himself. Maybe he even enjoys it a little too, who knows.
Chromedome is a very intelligent bot, as most Mnemosurgeons have to be. He is one of the best at what he does, and he takes his skills seriously. Over the course of the war, Chromedome has come to hate his own abilities, and nearly quit them several times. He had done things during the war that he bitterly regrets, and many of those things regularly haunt him. This often leads to long periods of moping. He had believed, in his youth, that what he was doing was for the greater good. Maybe it was, but he wondered if it was really worth the effect it had on his mental well-being. Being intelligent doesn’t mean that he doesn’t make bad decisions. Quite the contrary, he makes bad decisions all the time. Chromedome's anxiety can often lead him to act without thinking, and tends to let certain things slip if he doesn’t deem them important enough. At the same time though, he is extremely attentive to details within his work, almost impressively so. While injecting, he notices things that others wouldn’t notice. When you’re in someone else’s mind, the tiniest little thing could tell a number of important stories.
One of Chromedome’s core personality traits is that he is a very, very selfish person. Everything he does, he does because he can benefit from it in some way. It’s been noted by Brainstorm that when Chromedome chooses to love someone, he loves them with everything he has, putting their value to him above everyone and everything else. He would quite willingly risk the lives of others just to keep his relationship with his loved ones safe and happy. Chromedome has a difficult time accepting the consequences of his actions, and would quite happily shove the blame off onto someone else. It’s easier when it’s someone else’s fault. Makes it easier to cope with things. He’s lost so many people in his lifetime that he’s perfectly willing to brainwash himself into forgetting them so he could spare himself the pain of missing them. A cowardly tactic, but an understandable one. One has to deal with a traumatizing four million year long civil war somehow. In the end, it’s hard to say if Chromedome is a good or bad person, as he’s done a great deal of good and a great deal of bad in his lifetime.
Rewind is the most important person in his life and is his “One True Love”. When Chromedome met Rewind he was at the lowest point of his life, and was mere minutes away from having his life ended for him. It was the sight of someone who was in even more pain than he was, but carrying on anyway that snapped Chromedome out of it enough to want to continue living. Chromedome was immediately charmed by Rewind’s optimism, kindness, and all around determination from the beginning. It didn’t take them long before they were very close friends, and not long after that they fell in love and got robot married. However, Chromedome had never fully explained certain aspects about his past, and would like to keep it that way. He wanted Rewind to continue thinking well of him. Chromedome wanted to keep these secrets to himself so much, that he willingly attacked Prowl and wiped his memories when Prowl hinted at telling Rewind the truth.
When it comes to Prowl, Chromedome’s relationship with him is... complicated. They used to be friends and partners a very long time before the war, before Chromedome got into mnemosurgery in fact. The war changed both of them, and they did start growing apart a bit, though they did continue being friends. It was Prowl who brought Chromedome’s abilities to the attention of Zeta Prime, and it was Zeta Prime who had Chromedome use his abilities the way he did. After the war Prowl wanted Chromedome to continue using his skills for the greater good, and Chromedome refused, saying that he promised Rewind he would stop. The war was over, he could stop now. He wanted to stop. Prowl refused to take no for answer. After Rewind died, it’s easy to say that Prowl is not really his favourite person anymore.
Strengths:
Mnemosurgey: Mnemosurgery is the science of hacking into another Cybertronian’s mind. Chromedome is considered to be among the best, and as such can do things like examining and erasing memories, reading the last few minutes of someone’s life after they’ve died, and entering someone’s mindscape to talk with them. He uses these abilities by using the needles at the tips of his fingers to inject into a bot’s head to do what he needs to do. During the war, Chromedome used these abilities for less-than-honourable reasons, though he had believed them to be justified at the time.
But since he doesn’t have needles as a pony, it’s possible that he’d be extremely good at mind-altering spells should he ever decide to learn them.
His other abilities, like transforming and using holomatters, sort of go away the moment he becomes a pony.
Weaknesses:
Besides his own intense self-loathing and inability to function by himself? No one hates Chromedome quite as much as Chromedome does. He’s not all too great at making life decisions for himself, so people around him usually end up making it for him. Being a tool is a hard life to live.

Third Person:
This vast, empty land felt almost symbolic, like it was the mindscape of someone’s tormented and lonely spark. Chromedome knew that this was real though, there were several clues here and there. So if this was real, how did he get here? The last thing he remembered was being aboard the Lost Light. Did something terrible happen and he got stranded? Maybe he couldn’t remember because he had his mind tampered with... but that seemed unlikely. There weren’t many who could outdo him at his own work. Then again, there only needed to be one.
“Rewind!”
That would always be the first name he called for. The only answer he got back was the howling of the lonely wind. Heh, ‘howling of the lonely wind’, when did he get so dramatic? Chromedome scaled a nearby rock to get a better view of his surroundings. What a view it was, in all its bleak, grey, and lifeless glory. Chromedome suddenly hoped that Rewind wasn’t out here after all. Unless Rewind is stuck at Megatron’s mercy, then any place he was was probably better than here. It didn’t feel like a dangerous place, per say, but it did feel completely and totally hopeless. It was not a nice place, but at least Chromedome felt he could survive it if he tried.
He wasn’t low on energon, and he didn’t seem to be injured in any way, so he transformed and started driving in any random direction. The stars were unfamiliar, but Chromedome kept an eye on them anyway he could at least to make sure he wasn’t driving around in circles. Any and all attempts to make contact with others ended in a failure. Was he truly alone out here? Surely someone had to inhabit this planet. If there wasn’t? Well, he was pretty much out of luck, wasn’t he? A layer of gloom seemed to fall over his spark as he drove along. Some deep, selfish part of him wished that Rewind was here after all.
