15 steps, not bad. Its too bad he looks like a robot hiding under a jet in alt mode. Then again, a more expensive recent Leader sized jet (cough cough Jetfire cough)who doesn't have to become a cobiner torso looked the same so I couldnt expect too much.

When will Hasbro admit they're doing that just for nostalgia's sake?

I was thinking the same thing. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I'm pretty sure if they honestly tried they could make a Silverbolt who doesn't have a jet mode with a folded up robot just bolted underneath, but they won't because then it wouldn't look GEEWUN enough.
That aside though he looks cool. A good idea for a Shapeways kit for this guy would be some clip-on armour/boosters that make his underside kibble look more like a set of boosters/FAST pack. Shouldn't be too difficult- just give him a few intakes, panels, boosters and such and it should look much better. If someone were to do the same to the TFC Silverbolt I'd buy it.

It's funny, I think Silverbolt is less impressive than some of the limb bots we've seen. Not that he's unimpressive, though...I just think his arms look proportionally big for his otherwise slim appearance.
I know why that is, because his arms are his legs in torso mode. It just looks like every day is arm day.

Quick question guys
I bought the Generations Tankor and have been reading the Dark Cybertron storyline therein. In the issue with the aforementioned figure, there is a part where Ultra Magnus and Co are traveling through Metroplex and they decide to get out and look for something. They do, and end up in a big circle back where they came from. It is then revelaed that one of the minicons had seemingly planted a bomb on their escape pod/ship, and proceeded to blow it up. Then, a few panels later, they were crusing along int he ship like nothing happened?
WTF?

Pages are out of order in the pack-in comics. For the correct order, go pick up More than Meets the Eye #26 in Tankor's case.

For some reason, every copy of the comic issue that was packed with the Tankor toy was printed with its pages horrendously out of order. The pages are fine in the original non-toy printing, but no one really knows what happened with the toy pack-in version.shockblast2 wrote:Quick question guys

Wish they would post comparison shots of the combined form with FOC Bruticus. I'm definetely getting the Combiner Wars Superion & Menasor (while finding a place to ditch the old Energon Superion Maximus set), but I hope the scale/size is not off by much.
Early days, but I wonder if there's any chance of seeing an updated Prowl & the Constructicons in the Combiner Wars line.

I wondered what hell happened......
Can you fill me in briefly? How did they get the ship back together or how did they get out of Metroplex without the ship?

Why are we not talking about the fact that Drag Strip has apparently been drafted into the Aerialbots?
Re: In-Hand Images - Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Voyager Silverbolt

Because he isn't? Drag Strip is still a Stunticon but he'll be in the same wave as the 4 Aerialbots shown. The packaging just illustrates you can mix-and-match, and can make a giant with any 4 limbs of any sub-group.

Well, yeah, but that's because Optimus is in this wave too, so both Voyagers use the same limbs on their packaging to advertise the combiner gimmick with the specific Deluxe toys that will be concurrently available with the two Voyagers.william-james88 wrote:Holy SH!T, I hadnt even noticed that.
