'''Silverbolt''' merges with his subordinate [[Aerialbot (ROTF)|Aerialbots]] into the mighty [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]]!

*'''Superion''' (2009)

:''[[Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Silverbolt is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Energon (toyline)|Energon]]'' [[Storm Jet (Energon)|Storm Jet]], transforming into a Cybertronic jet based vaguely upon an SR-71 Blackbird spy plane. He was available with the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' [[Superion (ROTF)|Superion]] giftset, and when combined with the other Aerialbots, Silverbolt forms the torso.

:The Superion five-pack was originally intended to be released as part of the 2008 ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' line as [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Superion (G1)|Superion]], with Silverbolt representing G1 [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]], but was ultimately only released in ''Universe'' packaging on non-US markets such as Singapore and Australia, whereas the USA, Canada and Mexico got the toy in ''Revenge of the Fallen'' packaging instead, [[exclusive|exclusively]] available at [[Target]] stores in the USA and at Zellers stores in Canada, and as a mass market release in the United Kingdom. His components were not available separately, only in a combiner five-pack.

: Like the Storm Jet version of the sculpt, Silverbolt features several instances of [[misassembly]]: Namely, his inside legs are swapped so that the knee joint faces the wrong way. Furthermore, his shoulders are also misassembled, since there is a molded chevron...in his armpit. Althouth a swap (involving tiny pieces and springs) fixes this, at least a few specimens reportedly had one leg assembled correctly, and the other one incorrectly, making repair impossible.
