Transformers Fanatic wrote:In 1950, The Ark is on a routine mission in space. They are attacked by Decepticons and the ship is damaged badly and on collision towards the moon. Before it crashes, Sentinel gives his 2nd in command, Silverbolt, something crucial to the war effort and has him exit the ship so the Decepticons won't get it. Silverbolt does this and moments later The Ark crashes.
Silverbolt travels to earth and crash lands. The impact of the landing puts him in stasis in his cybertronian vehicle mode. He is later found by Government Officials in the Nevada desert and taken to an Area 51 base. (This would explain the alien landing controversy)
Now it's 1969, Astronauts arrive on the moon and discover the ark. Sentinel awakens from his stasis and comes across the humans. Sentinel flies off in his cybertronian flying vehicle. He sets off to search the galaxy for Silverbolt. This proves difficult however since he can't pick up his signature.
He finally arrives on earth in 2011 with the Wreckers (whom he came across while searching space). He meets up with Optimus and the gang and they begin searching for Silverbolt and the item.
Please let me know what you guys think. Hope you found it interesting.
It sounds like an interesting theory to say the least, and could be plausible.
One thing, though:
What would the item be? If Sentinel was in possession of something remotely as powerful as the Allspark, it would seem foolish to leave Cybertron with it (since Megatron and the Allspark are already long gone)
IMO:
If Silverbolt is in the film, he very well could be the Space Shuttle rumored to be in the film. Which I'd have no problem with. I've got my fingers crossed that the Ark is Omega Supreme (ala Animated). I'm somewhat skeptical of Silverbolt being in the film though. We've heard nothing aside from James Avery's statement, and have seen nothing in terms of merchandise featuring him, so the likelihood of him playing a pivotal role (at this point) doesn't seem as likely to me. My theory? Avery is voicing Sentinel, not Silverbolt
