Transformer of the Day for February 8, 2009

SILVERBOLT

-Faction: Autobot (Aerialbot)
-Era: Generation One (1984-1992), Generation Two (1993-95), Beast Wars (1996-98)
-Function: Aerialbot Leader
-Motto: “Don’t Look Down, Look Straight Ahead”
-Notable Toy: Universe (Hasbro, 2008)

Notes: For a bot afraid of heights, Silverbolt certainly gets around. Leader of the Aerialbots in G1 and G2, he proved you don’t easily take the gestalt out of the Transformer when he showed up as a component to the Maximal combiner Magnaboss. He was an early edition to the Go-Go-Gobot line too, and his namesake was a key character in Beast Wars and Beast Machines. I’m sure he feels right at home back on the toy shelves in Universe. It’s like he never left.
