	*According to [[Bob Forward]], Silverbolt's "white knight" personality was based on that of {{w\|Lancelot\|Lancelot du Lac}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980702112138/http://www.transformers.org/bwz/fd1.htm TFFW.com January 1998 interview with Bob Forward] (archived)</ref>		*According to [[Bob Forward]], Silverbolt's "white knight" personality was based on that of {{w\|Lancelot\|Lancelot du Lac}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980702112138/http://www.transformers.org/bwz/fd1.htm TFFW.com January 1998 interview with Bob Forward] (archived)</ref>
	*In the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars'', Silverbolt was not portrayed as a stereotypical "knight in shining armor" as he was in the West. Instead, his unique character quirk was that he was ''psychotically polite'' and always happy no matter what. Silverbolt spoke in polite-form Japanese and had a habit of shouting English-language phrases, speaking like a stereotypical American (polite-form Japanese being the form Americans are taught, the Japanese often mock them for constantly using it). His verbal tic was a habit of shouting "DESU!" over and over again ("desu" being a part of polite-form Japanese, used to end sentences respectfully). Like all verbal tics in the Japanese dub, Silverbolt chanted it incessantly, including every time he fired his weapon.		*In the Japanese dub of ''Beast Wars'', Silverbolt was not portrayed as a stereotypical "knight in shining armor" as he was in the West.

	The explosion caused by the destruction of the [[Vok]] [[Planet Buster]] sent all [[stasis pod]]s crashing to Earth. Some pods' scanners were damaged in the shock wave and eventual crash-landing, resulting in the Fuzors, a blend of two beast forms and the advanced Transmetal technology. One of these Fuzors was the winged wolf Silverbolt, while his neighbor was the violent, psychotic cobra-scorpion [[Quickstrike (BW)\|Quickstrike]], who immediately picked a fight with the peaceful Silverbolt upon their activation. The fight was interrupted by [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity\|Megatron]], who tricked both Fuzors and recruited them into the Predacons. Silverbolt felt the faction's activation code and Megatron's orders to attack the passing [[Cheetor (BW)\|Cheetor]] to be distasteful (seeing how the cat had not attacked them), earning furious punishment from the Predacon leader.

	Silverbolt found himself reluctantly sneaking off to meet with Blackarachnia, providing her with a [[graviton generator]] for the hoversled she was building. Despite his secrecy, the other Maximals seemed all aware of what he was up to, with Rattrap insinuating all sorts of activities. The Maximals were joined by a Predacon secret agent, [[Ravage (G1)\|Ravage]], who invited them to help him capture Megatron.

	Though Cheetor was assigned the task of bringing Blackarachnia in, Silverbolt rendered his fellow Maximal unconscious, himself going to find Blackarachnia. Locating her in pursuit of Waspinator, he pleaded with her to join the Maximals, and refused to leave until she did, even after she shot him in the thigh. While they were distracted, the hoversled hit Waspinator, forcing Silverbolt to once again save a disgusted Blackarachnia. {{storylink\|The Agenda (Part 2)}} He subsequently aided her in digging into the side of a [[Mount St. Hilary\|mountain]], to discover within the [[Ark (G1)\|Ark]].

	At work, Silverbolt and Rattrap had to endure [[Rhinox (BW)\|Rhinox]]'s constant praise of the 80s, an era neither of them were interested in. Their interest ''was'' briefly piqued by Rhinox's claim that Japan had no consumption tax back then, but Silverbolt looked it up and found the statement to be false, the tax having been instanted in 1989. {{storylink\|Legends Vol. 9#The Era Gap\|The Era Gap}} He and Rattrap later tried to figure out the mystery of [[Airazor (BW)\|Airazor]] and [[Nightscream (BM)\|Nightscream]]'s genders by following them to the restroom, only to find their company had no male restrooms. {{storylink\|Legends Vol. 9#The Bathroom Gap\|The Bathroom Gap}} One time when President Primal left for business, he warned his employees not to touch his [[banana]]s.

	When Rhinox was turned into Tankor one day, Silverbolt and Waspinator similarly woke up in the bodies of Jetstorm and Thrust, respectively. Seeing a kinship between them, Tankor asked the two if they'd join him in turning the world into a paradise of [[The Transformers (franchise)\|original ''Transformers'']], but the young Jetstorm disagreed, since in his eyes "Transformers" equaled "[[Michael Bay]]". The pair's refusal angered Tankor, and a battle broke out between the three Vehicons. {{storylink\|Legends Vol. 17#I'm Tankor, dana!\|I'm Tankor, dana!}}		When Rhinox was turned into Tankor one day, Silverbolt and Waspinator similarly woke up in the bodies of Jetstorm and Thrust, respectively.
