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.
