Silverbolt is very impressive, he certainly helps to sell the set. However I am not convinced that the Superion chest plate looks as good as it should. It still feels compromised due to the transforming gimmick.

The Superion face also seems a little off to me but I think it's mostly the expression than the sculpt as a whole.

Dammit. I think I'm gonna have to actually fork out for this set. It looks pretty impressive.

Silverbolts head sculpt looks really good.

All 3 modes look really good I agree with Superion's head looking a bit off, I really dig that help but the visor sticks out a bit and the facial expressions are a bit plain (more heads coming along? ).

Would like to see Silverbolt do some more dynamic poses - the back of his lower legs could be hollow. Looking at the combined mode and robot mode, it looks as though the legs do a 180 degree turn backwards, then is folded upwards at the knees to cover the thighs. Shin guards and toes both then fold 180 degrees.

Looks like hollow lower legs to me too but I can live with that. I like the head but I hope it comes with a second alternate one too

I stand impressed.

Silverbolt does look good.

Wonder what the colours would be like, I actually wouldn't mind if they made his Jet mode black or grey, but kept his robot colours white and red. he wouldn't be much of a silver bolt, but his jet mode would probably look better.

I'm sure if there is enough discontent with the heads Dr Wu will make some alternates, I'm not to bothered by it myself. it's a bit plain but that seem the norm with the guys. Hercules head is fairly plain, and Giant has one weird head and one plain one.

Agreed, the facial expression is not a deal breaker even if it could be better.

Silverbolt's looking pretty nice; it's unfortunate he seems to suffer the same robot-under-plane syndrome that ROTF Leader Jetfire did. I guess it's unavoidable given how the sleekness of the plane gives you nowhere to hide the robot bits. I hope he doesn't turn out like Universe Silverbolt, whose transformation was basically "fold the plane in half, then unpack the robot attached underneath". Heck, given that Leader Jetfire was compromised to make a power-up mode for Optimus, TFC's Silverbolt could end up being the best of the three.

Their Air Raid is quite interesting, as it introduces a new seeker mould. Maybe TFC can improve on my favourite deluxe mould (Classics Starscream) with a seeker who doesn't have gaping holes in his underside in alt mode.
