We have been talking about the other new characters in TF3, so I wanted to start a thread on Silverbolt.

What kind of alt mode do you think he'll take?
Will he play an important role in the space mission thing?

 

Concorde please ?

 

Hopefully a military plane, but a spacecraft wouldn't be so bad, it is hollywood...

 

Any kind of military jet would do I guess. I would rather him not be a spaceship but if that's what it comes to, so be it.

 

I'm holding out for the new NASA Orion rocket. Impractical alt-mode, but come on.

 

Cobra Night Raven! Cobra! Seriously stealth bomber

 

I hope he's a military jet.
Does anybody have like a fanmade concept art of his design?
I know it's a bit early for the production to have his design.

 

or along the style of the futuristic navy jets from the movie "Stealth":
"Stealth" movie jet F/A-37 Talon

 

Russian Air force Tupollev Bomber.

 

^Isn't that Terradive's jet?

I love those jets, but I think that may be impossible to use since it's from a movie, unless that Stealth jet is a real concept aircraft.
The best thing the Designers could do is tweak it enough, like they did with Classics Jetfire, to make it usable in the toy line without getting into trouble.

 

Am I the only one who thinks he should be an A-10 Thunderbolt?
Silverbolt the thunderbolt.

 

And they could paint him completely silver. Genius!

 

Uncle Phil of course:

 

^   I lol'd and I agree.

 

someone had to do it lol he is the confirmed voice actor

 

Airbus A380.
Hugeeeeeee!!  

 

Tu-144, just to have 99.9% of the world think he's a Concorde...

 

Wasn't there a picture of two or three UAV's in a hanger with Prime and Hide or Ratchet??

Suspect Silverbolt could be a UAV....

 

here's the pics you were talking about:

Silverbolt as large UAV = crappy ass vehicle mode

even if it was one of those huge UAV jets it would still be a crappy ass vehicle mode
