Silverbolt is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Maximal" title="Maximal">Maximal</a> from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Era" title="Beast Era">Beast Era</a> portion of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29" title="Generation 1 (franchise)">Generation 1</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.

[[Image:|right|350px|thumb|He was on "The Daily Show" before Jon Stewart. For real.]] "Pure, strong, and fast," Silverbolt's sense of right and wrong is so overdeveloped his fellow Maximals wonder if his programming has a glitch. He speaks in lofty platitudes of chivalry, nobility, and idealized heroism; his speeches make even <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal" title="Optimus Primal">Optimus Primal</a> roll his optics. His conviction is both his strength and his weakness. He sees the world in black and white—and not just because his beast mode is partly canine. The only gray area for Silverbolt is <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blackarachnia_%28BW%29" title="Blackarachnia (BW)">Blackarachnia</a>. His fierce love for the "evil" <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Predacon_%28BW%29" title="Predacon (BW)">Predacon</a> causes him to question his preconceived notions of right and wrong. He was very proud of his ability to convert Blackarachnia to the Maximals, and, though most of the Maximals are skeptical of her loyalty to the cause and to him, he has nothing but faith in her.

Despite his usual naiveté, Silverbolt has apparently been able to "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fourth_wall" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:fourth_wall">break the fourth wall</a>" by describing himself as a "heroic character."

[[Image:|left|250px|thumb|The more you know! (da da da daaaaa)]] The explosion caused by the destruction of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Vok" title="Vok">Vok</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Planet_Buster" title="Planet Buster">Planet Buster</a> sent all stasis pods 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Quickstrike_%28BW%29" title="Quickstrike (BW)">Quickstrike</a>, who immediately picked a fight with the peaceful Silverbolt upon their activation. The fight was interrupted by <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28BW%29" title="Megatron (BW)">Megatron</a>, 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 <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cheetor_%28BW%29" title="Cheetor (BW)">Cheetor</a> to be distasteful (seeing how the cat had not attacked them), earning furious punishment from the Predacon leader. Soon, he and the other Predacons faced the remaining Maximals in battle. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Coming_of_the_Fuzors_%28Part_1%29" title="Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)">Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)</a></span>

However, Silverbolt felt out of place with so treacherous and cruel a group. After witnessing Maximal compassion and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dinobot_%28BW%29" title="Dinobot (BW)">Dinobot</a>'s own admission of defection, he made an important decision and joined the Maximals, saving the newly reborn <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal" title="Optimus Primal">Optimus Primal</a> from Megatron. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Coming_of_the_Fuzors_%28Part_2%29" title="Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)">Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)</a></span>


[[Image:|right|250px|thumb|Brave, strong, fast ... and never without utensils.]] Soon afterwards, while on patrol with the much more laid-back <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rattrap" title="Rattrap">Rattrap</a> (who spent a lot of the time pointedly ignoring Silverbolt's lines of honor and virtue), Silverbolt encountered the alluring Blackarachnia when <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tarantulas" title="Tarantulas">Tarantulas</a> and Quickstrike were attempting to set up a forward base. She was somewhat surprised by his complete refusal to strike her simply because she was a female and used it to her advantage to attack him. However, the Maximal had no such compunction against fighting the coarse Quickstrike. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Tangled_Web" title="Tangled Web">Tangled Web</a></span>

Soon, Silverbolt found himself reluctantly sneaking off to aid Blackarachnia in constructing a small airship out of a fallen stasis pod. When it was complete, she ran off at first word of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ark_%28G1%29" title="Ark (G1)">Ark</a> being discovered, Silverbolt in tow. He pleaded with her to join the Maximals, and refused to leave until she did, even after she shot him in the thigh.

[[Image:|left|250px|thumb|Damn you, Salazar! DAMN YOU, SALAZAAAARRR!]] When Megatron arrived, Silverbolt was the playing card to convince Blackarachnia to open the doors to the Ark and allow him inside. Soon after, when <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28G1%29" title="Optimus Prime (G1)">Optimus Prime</a> was injured enough to cause a time storm, Blackarachnia used Silverbolt to put everything right and defected to the Maximals soon after. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimal_Situation" title="Optimal Situation">Optimal Situation</a></span>

Most of the time thereafter, Silverbolt stayed by Blackarachnia's side, more than happy that the subterfuge was over. He was extremely pleased when Blackarachnia was converted fully into a Maximal (and a Transmetal 2 as well). <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Crossing_the_Rubicon" title="Crossing the Rubicon">Crossing the Rubicon</a></span>

Voice Actor: <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scott_McNeil" title="Scott McNeil">Scott McNeil</a> (English), <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mitsuo_Iwata" title="Mitsuo Iwata">Mitsuo Iwata</a> (Japanese), <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Marcus_Jardym&action=edit" class="new" title="Marcus Jardym">Marcus Jardym</a> (Portuguese)

When the Maximals found themselves back on <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cybertron_%28planet%29" title="Cybertron (planet)">Cybertron</a> running for their lives from armies of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Vehicon_%28BM%29" title="Vehicon (BM)">Vehicon drones</a>, their memories of their past had been tampered with. Even <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blackarachnia_%28BW%29" title="Blackarachnia (BW)">Blackarachnia</a> could not remember Silverbolt fully until she hacked into the memory backup on their ship. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fires_of_the_Past" title="Fires of the Past">Fires of the Past</a></span>


[[Image:|right|180px|thumb|Sadly, this was the coolest Silverbolt would get in Beast Machines...]] Blackarachnia began to suspect that Silverbolt's <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spark" title="Spark">spark</a> might be inside one of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Vehicon_general" title="Vehicon general">Vehicon generals</a>. At first, she erroneously thought it was within <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Thrust_%28BM%29" title="Thrust (BM)">Thrust</a>, but after a mishap with some technorganic goop, Silverbolt's spark was proven to be inside <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Jetstorm_%28BM%29" title="Jetstorm (BM)">Jetstorm</a> (and Thrust turned out to be <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Waspinator" title="Waspinator">Waspinator</a>, whose amorous advances were tragically spurned by the arachnid chick). For a precious few moments, Silverbolt's consciousness was completely awoken within Jetstorm's body, reverting him to his old personality, until the goop was absorbed completely and Jetstorm's <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Shell_program" title="Shell program">shell program</a> reasserted itself. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Catalyst" title="The Catalyst">The Catalyst</a></span>

Obsessed with bringing Silverbolt back, she hounded Jetstorm, demanding he remember their shared love and return to the Maximals. Needless to say, Jetstorm was vexed by this. When <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rattrap" title="Rattrap">Rattrap</a> created a gizmo that would help them transfer the stolen Transformer sparks into new bodies, Blackarachnia stole it. Leading Jetstorm into the planet's organic core, she attached the gizmo to his back and trapped the Vehicon in a pool of the technorganic goop with her webs. After much screaming, reformatting, and brilliant light, Silverbolt was reborn as a condor, having scanned skeletal remains inside the cavern in the process.

[[Image:|left|180px|thumb|...for he later became...Purplebolt! the World's Deadliest Peacock!]] Counter to Blackarachnia's expectations, Silverbolt was not pleased. Gone was the Maximal who exemplified honor and chivalry, replaced with one who desired only retribution and vengeance. "I was a fool back then," he once said. "I believed in things." Distraught, Blackarachnia managed to convince him to come along with her to help rescue <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Primal" title="Optimus Primal">Optimus Primal</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cheetor_%28BW%29" title="Cheetor (BW)">Cheetor</a> from inside <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megatron_%28BW%29" title="Megatron (BW)">Megatron</a>'s <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Grand_Mal" title="Grand Mal">Big Floating Head</a>, but Silverbolt did not accompany her for their friends, as he was not interested in them. He went to confront Megatron.

Megatron, seeing that his General had been reformatted into a Maximal, tried to seduce Silverbolt back to his side. Silverbolt was told he was a creature of honor who fought for just causes, and that Megatron gave Silverbolt not only a just cause (the technological purity of Cybertron), but also the power and strength to fight for that cause. Blackarachnia countered at every point, pleading with Silverbolt to remember their love and friendship. Silverbolt ignored her, bitterly retorting that Megatron had given him nothing. With nearly insane fury, he let loose a volley of feather bombs, disrupting Megatron from within. Cheetor and Primal were rescued, and Silverbolt was dragged away from the battle.

[[Image:|right|200px|thumb|Now that we've won, we can bang like everyday ordinary really ugly people.]] Slightly calmed, Silverbolt was later approached by Blackarachnia. He confided in her the real reason for his anger: it was not what Megatron had done to him, but that he'd been freed from his code of honor and enjoyed the experience. He did not trust himself any longer. This did not deter Blackarachnia. She believed, no matter what, that Silverbolt had goodness in his heart. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/In_Darkest_Knight" title="In Darkest Knight">In Darkest Knight</a></span>

Silverbolt's return to the Maximals was not without its hiccups, however. When he formally returned to the group, Megatron used giant mechanical drill-tentacles to damage the city and get the Maximals' attention... as well as activate a new strain of the ancient <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hate_Plague" title="Hate Plague">Hate Plague</a> virus hidden in Silverbolt. After infecting everyone and nearly scrapping each other, they managed to cure themselves. Silverbolt was bummed about being used, but Optimus gave him a pat on the shoulder and said "Hakuna matata". Or words to that effect. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/A_Wolf_in_the_Fold" title="A Wolf in the Fold">A Wolf in the Fold</a></span>

When a spaceship was shot down and crashed into the city, Silverbolt was teamed with Nightscream to reach it from the air, and he had to endure the young Maximal's harsh words and attitude, brought on by the Hate Plague incident. Silverbolt fought against the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Botanica" title="Botanica">crazed space plant</a> on the shuttle, then against a horde of Tank Drones in their underground base, and his actions finally allowed Nightscream to warm up to him. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Home_Soil" title="Home Soil">Home Soil</a></span>

As time went on, Silverbolt began to become more comfortable with his past. With the final defeat of Megatron and the reformatting of Cybertron, his old personality reemerged—only for him to ruin the moment by saying the corniest line he could think of. And more power to him. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Endgame_Part_3:_The_Seeds_of_the_Future" class="mw-redirect" title="Endgame Part 3: The Seeds of the Future">Endgame Part 3: The Seeds of the Future</a></span>

Amidst a media blitz and celebration, Silverbolt, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blackarachnia_%28BW%29" title="Blackarachnia (BW)">Blackarachnia</a>, <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cheetor_%28BW%29" title="Cheetor (BW)">Cheetor</a>, and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rattrap" title="Rattrap">Rattrap</a> were among the Maximals to greet them.

However, what appeared to be celebratory fireworks struck Silverbolt and Blackarachnia and also the five Autobots. They were transported to the firey <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pit" title="Pit">Pit</a> deep within <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron" title="Unicron">Unicron</a>, where all but Trailbreaker were rebuilt painfully into new bodies. Silverbolt was piece-by-piece reassembled into a version of his original <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fuzor" title="Fuzor">Fuzor</a> form.

Seeing an arena up ahead, the seven moved towards it, only to be attacked by a swarm of shape-shifting, lava-like creatures. Silverbolt and the others were overwhelmed and taken into the arena (or the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Cauldron" title="Cauldron">Cauldron</a>), where they were caged along with a multitude of Transformers kidnapped from across the multiverse. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Abduction" title="Abduction">Abduction</a></span>

During this time, Blackarachnia was corrupted by Unicron to become one of his warriors. Silverbolt vowed to bring her back to the light again, as she had done for him. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Escape_%28Universe_comic%29" title="Escape (Universe comic)">Escape</a></span>

When the whole place went to pot after the formation of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron_Singularity" title="Unicron Singularity">Unicron Singularity</a>, Silverbolt escaped with the rest of the prisoners, taking Blackarachnia with him. Presumably, they returned to their own time and universe. <span style="border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-width: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt 5px; font-size: 10px; background-color: rgb(236, 236, 236);" class="tt1_nowrap"><a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Revelations_Part_2" title="Revelations Part 2">Revelations Part 2</a></span>

  • Silverbolt (Deluxe Fuzor, 1998)
  • Japanese ID number: C-41
  • Accessories: Left & right feather-missiles


Part of the first wave of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fuzor" title="Fuzor">Fuzors</a>,

Silverbolt transforms into a wolf with the wings, fore-legs and tail of an eagle. In either mode, pulling his tail activates a spring-loaded "wing flap" gimmick. Moving the wings far enough forward triggers their built-in spring-loaded missile launchers. Silverbolt's missiles are also designed to be held in his hands like clubs. They also happen to look like spoons.

For his Japanese release as part of Beast Wars Metals, Silverbolt's grey plastic was made much lighter, and the wolf eyes were given painted irises and pupils.

  • Silverbolt (Basic, 2000)
  • Accessories: Wing-pack/sword


Beast Machines Silverbolt transforms into a

technorganic condor. His wings have a snap-together feature, and the entire wing assembly detaches to form a hand-held shield-blade for robot mode. His condor mode looks so awkward (no place for the robot legs to go!) that it is possible his real <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alternate_mode" title="Alternate mode">altmode</a> was originally intended to be a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Silverboltbmtoygriffin.jpg" title="Image:Silverboltbmtoygriffin.jpg">griffin</a>.

  • 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—even in the one scene in "<a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimal_Situation" title="Optimal Situation">Optimal Situation</a>" where he thought Blackarachnia was dead. He ended nearly every sentence in a loud, stressed "desu!" which made every sentence of his needlessly over-polite. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rozen_Maiden_characters#Suiseiseki" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:List_of_Rozen_Maiden_characters">Suiseiseki</a> would be proud desu.

  • According to various <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a> representatives, Universe Silverbolt's colors (and those of pretty much the entire first wave of Universe product) were done by Hasbro employees from outside the Transformers team.
  • Silverbolt's robot mode in Beast Machines was heavily designed after a traditional Japanese samurai.
  • Silverbolt has the dubious distinction of being the only

Maximal who has not taken out Waspinator, instead being taken down by the bug twice. Ouch.
