Shortly before the [[Great Exodus]], Sludge was a member of the Lightning Strike Coalition, a brutal subgroup of Autobots under the leadership of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], who reluctantly followed [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]]'s more cautious brand of warfare... when ordered. Swoop was sent to investigate [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s [[energon]] sources but he worryingly disappeared. When the other four coalition members learned that Swoop had been captured by Shockwave, they disobeyed orders and went after him themselves. {{storylink|Good Intentions}} Sludge and the others followed Grimlock, secure in his arrogance, who was glad that the fate of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] rested in their hands. {{storylink|Secrets (FOC)|Secrets}}

Sludge and the rest of the Lightning Strike Coalition deserted their posts defending the Ark to look into some mysterious energy readings. He helped steal an Autobot drop ship and together the team traveled to the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. Unfortunately the energy readings related to [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave's]] recent activities near the [[energon lake]], particularly his efforts on the space bridge and the creation of the [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]]. The Lightning Strike Coalition battled the Insecticons, but while the others were captured for Shockwave's continued experiments, Sludge was seemingly killed. His body was found by [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], partially dismembered and grafted to the wall of an Insecticon hive. Jazz stated that he was in stasis lock. Jazz removed Sludge's [[memory core]] while attempting to find out what had happened in the tunnels. Jazz later flooded the tunnels with a highly toxic fluid, quite possibly destroying Sludge's body in the process.

After escaping from captivity, the newly christened [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobots]] found a hologramatic datacore which projected the body Shockwave had originally planned to give Sludge.{{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

* Sludge is the only member of the Lightning Strike Coalition to appear in ''Fall of Cybertron'' in his original, pre-Dinobot body. Had he survived, he would have turned into an Apatosaurus.

'''Silverbolt''' is a brave Autobot. Who else would command the [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbot]]s despite his fear of heights? He cares more for his friends than himself, and as a true believer in the Autobot cause, he would gladly sacrifice himself to protect them.

Back before the war Silverbolt loved watching police procedural and forensic video fiction. He was enough of a fan of it all that he actually knows more about the forensic side of things than former investigating officer [[Prowl (Prime)|Prowl]]!

:''Voice actor:'' [[Patrick Seitz]] (English)
During the decepticon assault on Iacon Silverbolt and [[Jetfire (WFC)|Jetfire]] tried to stop [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream]] from getting to The [[Decagon]], but sustained heavy damage as a result. As Cybertron was dying, [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] ordered an evacuation of all Autobot cities. However, [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] had refitted the station producing [[Dark Energon]] with a colossal weapon that blasted the ships holding the Autobots who defied him by escaping. Prime sent for Silverbolt, Jetfire and [[Air Raid (Prime)|Air Raid]] to lead the Aerialbots in an assault to take Megatron's battle station offline. After getting into the relay station, and disabling the safety locks, the Autobots managed to find the coolant room, where Silverbolt suggested blasting everything. Shooting through wave after wave of Decepticons, Air Raid admitted he had wanted to be the Aerialbot commander, but was impressed with his leader not entirely sucking at the job — especially for a guy who was afraid of flying. Silverbolt was not amused.

The Autobots then destroyed the station's coolant pump, and Silverbolt ordered the squad to navigate towards the control room, showing utter devotion to the task at hand. In the room, the controls were blocked off and Megatron projected an image of himself, taunting the Autobots, Jetfire in particular. Silverbolt was surprised that they knew each other, and after a war of words, Megatron sent in his Decepticon troops. Though the Autobots were outnumbered, Silverbolt swore he'd fight to his last spark, and the opposition was no match. Silverbolt then flushed the coolant tanks and the Autobots tore off through the now-empty tunnels, which were starting to come apart. After overhearing a Decepticon commander talk about Megatron's plans for Trypticon, Silverbolt's squad destroyed his troops and flew to the nerve centre, where they deactivated the beam's pulse regulator. After stalling waves of Decepticons, the plasma within the regulator reached 110% and blew sky-high.

However, Megatron had backup systems, and sent more Decepticons. Silverbolt decided that his team could still blow the weapon up from the inside, and the team flew inside to the energy conduit, where Optimus contacted him, telling him to disable the gun immediately, as the damage from the cannon was becoming catastrophic. Silverbolt had no clear plan, but still swore to do what he could prevent the Autobot deaths. Then...the gun taunted the Autobots, revealing its true identity as a Cybertronian, [[Trypticon (Prime)|Trypticon]]. As they dispatched the Decepticons and flew in further, the situation became more and more dire, and Air Raid suggested the destruction of Trypticon's [[transformation cog|conversion cog]], changing him to his original mode. Jetfire was skeptical, but Silverbolt encouraged the idea, as anything was better than a gigantic talking space gun. They managed to destroy the cog before it Trypticon could unleash a full-power blast at Optimus Prime's position, and Trypticon was forced into his beastly robot mode, falling towards Cybertron. Silverbolt ordered the team to destroy Trypticon's jetpacks, and when they were eliminated, allowed gravity to do the rest.

Sure enough, Trypticon crashed on Cybertron, and Optimus, [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]] went to investigate. Silverbolt told Optimus he and the others were en route, and even gave them advice on how to defeat Trypticon. Optimus's group took Silverbolt's advice, and just after damaging his weapon systems, Silverbolt's squad arrived and tried to help out, but all three flying Autobots were swatted aside by the beast.

Silverbolt and his teammates survived, however, and got better in time to witness Optimus's post-victory speech, staying on Cybertron continuing the fight against Megatron. They would be among the future crew members of the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' when the Autobots' time came to leave their home. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
:''Voice actor:'' Patrick Seitz (English)
As the Decepticons attempted to restart the [[Geosynchronous Energon Bridge|Energon Bridge]], Silverbolt set a group of Autobot fighters on them and used Energon dampeners to disrupt the flow of power. Though the Decepticons quickly destroyed the dampeners, they were forced to attempt to reroute the Energon through a back-up link. Silverbolt confronted them at the back-up controls. He proved unable to stop them, and they successfully reactivated the bridge. Silverbolt had still bought the rest of the Autobots time, and the Decepticons discovered that they had used the [[Omega Key]] to sever the connection to Cybertron's core, limiting the power flow.

==Notes==
*In the DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', Silverbolt is a playable character, unlocked by going to Options on the start menu and then Code Input. The code is 10141.

*In a Gameinformer video showcasing ''Fall of Cybertron'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEAsP_kpSLk], Silverbolt is shown being dragged onto a table by Optimus and Ratchet. If you look closely at the captions, it mentions that Silverbolt has "leaked too much Energon." It is unknown if he will survive or not.

[[Image:WFC Neutron Assault Rifle.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[S.O.S. Dinobots|My equilibrium... destabilized! RWAAAAH!]]]]

The '''Neutron Assault Rifle''' distorts the equilibrium of its target by blasting it with sonic booms. Once disoriented, the attacker can close in with a melee attack.

==Fiction==
===Prime continuity===
[[Soundwave (Prime)|Soundwave]] uses his Neutron Assault Rifle in combination with his [[Energon War Axe]]. {{storylink|Battle Bio|Soundwave's Battle Bio}}

==Games==
===''War for Cybertron''===
Neutron Assault Rifles were one of the most common weapons in use during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]]. They were well-balanced and used a large clip of ammunition with a decent amount of punch behind its unassuming frame. They were toted by both [[Scientist (WFC)|Scientist]] and [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] classes. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Fall for Cybertron''===
Much like in War for Cybertron, this was one of the most common weapons used leading up to the Great Exodus. There have been some design changes; the rifle now operates with two turning heads, much like that of the X18 Scrapmaker. Bumblebee and Vortex are two of the people known to use one.

==Notes==
*The rifle has the following in-game stats:
**Damage: 5
**Range: 5
**Accuracy: 5
**Rate of Fire: 8

*Max Load: 244 Rounds
*Per Mag: 32 Rounds
