Yes, he has the Animated form... and apparently so does Ironhide, but is less obvious in robot mode.
For those who are wondering, the current Club comic has the Magnaboss trio (who could be the actual Gen1 Autobots in Beast Wars) taking on vehicle modes again after coming back from their Beast Wars mission.
Silverbolt looked like the Gen1 version (or maybe the Combiner Wars version), while Ironhide and Prowl are apparently their Animated forms... which might be tie into their Elite Guard universe from about 4 years ago.
Incidentally, their Elite Guard story was part of the 1986 movie era, and this year's comic is doing some parts of the Mirror-verse version of the 1986 movie.

I've seen wave 3 Combiners here, but mostly wave 1 & 2 in most stores here that I've been to so far this week, and the amount of stock is small and pathetic like in Australia. I've only bought one toy so far, and have been to a Walmart, 2 Targets and the toyshop at the Childrens Museum in Indianapolis. Ironically, the Museum's shop is where I've seen the most toys and the newest ones.
The best stores for toys are ToysRUs, Walmart, Target for the main lines, and for smaller sizes or obscure items try Walgreens, Kohls, Kmart, Dollar Tree and Ross Dress for Less (some smaller stores may not have any toys).
This is a great archive topic for current mainline items & exclusives in America, but like with us, the newer it is, the harder it can be to find, as distribution in America is often very regional, not national.
The topic doesn't include smaller lines like Rescue Bots and Kreo.
