Please, please do not take this reply as rude either of you, I am saying this in a light tone of voice smiling, just trying to explain my choice of colours so maybe people will understand why I chose them.

But when Blackarachnia upgraded to TM2, and was suddenly pink, black & purple I didn't really think it suited her, but I grew to like it. As I did with Beast Machines Silverbolt's purple, or with Megatrons sudden increase in gold when he turned TM. It made him look like Huggy Bear! Hehe, anyway what I'm saying is Silverbolt's colours have never been set, because he's only had one form. With Cheetor, who has had 4 (correct me if I am wrong) forms his colours sorta have to be yellow otherwise it'd cause confusion. However, for Silverbolt who in BW only ever had one form it's a bit different. His colours were silver & grey, the typical colours for a wolf, however it didn't suit his non-fuzor form shown in BM, hence the drastic colour change. You don't get many entirely grey birds so unless he was maybe made a seagull it just wouldn't work, besides, it's just dull. Now I've taken the "WTF" colours of BM & added green to tone it down & make it less "WTF.
So if you consider that BM Silverbolt was Purple, then these colours aren't too much of a deviation from his normal colours, as that was his most recent form before this new comic.

The colors aren't to
my taste, but since I can't draw to save my life, I have no reason to complain.
Good work!
Hehe, the eagle head placement was based of BW organic Silverbolt, I took a lot from him actually. The transformation process is quite similar, in fact if I remember correctly most of his design comes from a mix of fuzor 'bolt, organic Silverbolt & transtech 'bolt. One of the transtech designs also gave him a crotch-beast head/cockpit (oh bad choice of words!). I think when I've drawn it a few more times I will get the hang of it & not make it look so .... yea....
Well you may feel free to complain ^^ I don't mind, I like the criticisms, It makes me either have to justify my choices or re-do the work! And doing these makes future work better.
