Toys
Revenge of the Fallen
- Superion (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: 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. Although 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.
