Toys
[edit]Revenge of the Fallen
[edit]
- Superion (Multi-pack, 2009)
- Revenge of the Fallen Silverbolt is a redeco of 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 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 line as Generation 1 Superion, with Silverbolt representing 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, 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: The more obvious one affects his inside legs, which are swapped so that the knee joint faces the wrong way. Although an easy quick swap (involving the unscrewing of exactly eight screws) fixes this, at least a few specimens reportedly had one leg assembled correctly, and the other one incorrectly, making repair impossible.
- Furthermore, his shoulders are also misassembled, since there is a sculpted chevron...in his armpit. A fix for this requires removing metal pins, which is at least easier than on the original Storm Jet version of the sculpt, since Silverbolt's pins have the ridged section on one end, rather than in the center. Nonetheless, the sculpted chevrons are an extremely minor detail and attempting to remove the pins needed to correctly reposition them may not be worth the risk of damaging/breaking the figure.
Notes
[edit]- Silverbolt's Dark of the Moon video game body is a reuse of the Aerialbot Scouts from the Revenge of the Fallen game, (although, due to a possible animation error, his large chest plate pecs is missing during the scene where he jumps off Stratosphere).
- Silverbolt was reported to appear in Dark of the Moon and he was to be voiced by the late James Avery, but no such character appeared in the final film.[1]
