    It really ups the look of the whole thing, its was way too silver at first

    Exactly. Adding more color to the figure makes it look more interesting. The prototype images of the figure looking all silver made it look bland and boring.

    i think that extra color looks WAY better and still fits in the sort of moderined movie-ized BBM aesthetic (which keeps the g1 color schemes overall to a degree) the original deco was going for anyway. i hope both decos will be available as i'm sure there are fans of the original mostly silver deco too. also the girl is kinda cute. lol.

    So GT == WB == TFM == DST?

    Not only that but they did say they have many years of experience designing combiner teams.

    It looks great... I wish it was made better :( 

    Yeah it makes sense... They clearly know how to make cool looking combiners, but they were always lacking in the good materials and hardware department

    I would like it, if people had more Faith in the Company.
    If they are Generation Toy; their Devastator is a Masterpiece.

    Sure the Slingshot was a bad start,
    BUT they are working on the loose Hands, as
    I told you guys here, I am in contact with them.

    And when it comes to the Insane Complex
    Transformation: Just use EmGo "Transform it"
    Videos. Follow Step by Step and everything is okay.
    No one said that you guys should try it on your own,
    because it is clear, without knowledge, some Parts
    will inevitable break if used to much force.

    I have no doubt that Silverbolt will be an awesome Figure.

    Yeah, that’s part of what frustrates me about this set.

    GT/WB/TFM are so good at stylized, CHUG-sterpiece combiners. This guy would have been perfect in that scale, and would have fit in beautifully with their Devastator, Bruticus, Menasor, Computron, and Defensor. What’s more, it would be the only 3P CHUG-sterpiece Superion other than Uranos (who hasn’t aged nearly as well as those other combiners).

    Doing this Superion in MP may have taken them out of their design/engineering wheel-house, and set them up to compete with MP-scale Superions made by Fans Toys, Zeta, and friggin’ JuJiang.

    It just feels like a missed opportunity for them.

    (That’s the end of my whining)

    I love it, however I would like them to come out with a more realistically paint-schemed version.

    Has anyone made a digibash of the combined form in g1 colors?

    I'm so glad that the WB/GT/TFM design team are still designing transformers. Their designs are my favorite of all 3rd parties. Hopefully they continue designing and follow up on their Superion

    Man people are like they it was properly G1 coloured or wishing it was a different scale meanwhile I'm just happy it's not another boring cartoon purist release of coloured blocks with a tacked on alt mode. Please, please don't be an unstable piece of crap in combined mode, please.

    I think this Superion will fit better with TFM's Havoc and CangToys Thunderking. The "CHUG" scale doesn't work for me anymore. Give me stylized masterpieces.
