Yeah, I absolutely love Transformers Prime and hearing him hating it is kinda funny. His videos on why it's bad are so entertaining even if I wholeheartedly disagree.
Reaching a level of apathy that you no longer care for truth and logic isn't exactly a good thing If anything you're just showing that you lack the ability to listen and shift your opinion based on someone else's perspective.

Silverbolt and Rattrap are tied as my favorite transformers. And I'm in the same boat as you. Though, I'm not so much furious as I am disappointed. Congratulations Fuzors Silverbolt for getting a 2nd figure. I just wish I could love you. The Transarts Silverbolt cannot come fast enough.
I was wondering if I was the only one that thought the figure just didn’t feel like silverbolt. You can’t believe how happy I am for you to review this. Thank you so much!
I feel like it would help you to know that the lead designer on this toy was from Takara. Silverbolt was his first toy, and he is the world’s biggest silver bolt fan.
Well 1, the wings are not show accurate in any way shape or form, so I'm not sure what you are talking about there? They are bigger in the show, more mobile, and mounted Hinger in the robot mode, and lower in the beast mode. And 2 yes the Fake hinges are show accurate, however when they've changed THIS MUCH just for the sake of making it not like the show model, why leave that one part?
@@PerspectiveEnd I think I remember seeing this exact comment on a TFW forum, are you sure you're not the same person? Even other people corrected you and said how wrong your opinion was.
@@PerspectiveEnd The only things you highlight in the video that are "unfaithful" to the original are the claws and the wings (the wings are faithful to the show) and with that you can say that then the figure should not have the false hinges on the chest ? The figure is fine, you have every right to hate it, but I feel that you are somewhat misguided in where you want to direct your criticism.
I was super worried when the first images leaked, thought it was going to be shit. Was pleasantly surprised by the in-hand feel of the figure, plus the posing and transformation are in fact quite strong.
The extra chest hinge is there to prevent paint scuffing on the wolf's nose. The clearance is so tight there, it's better to flip the head assembly out to make way when getting it in and out of the robot's chest cavity.
It's, eh, it's close. I tried one time to transform it without the extra step just to see if it really was extraneous, and on my copy it was close enough that it did end up scuffing the paint on the nose despite me being careful. Luckily it's not a bad or very noticeable scuff.
This is the best example of when the TF team go too animal accurate than cartoon accurate on a toy, still both modes look sick though. Silverbolt is awesome and we need the rest of the Maximals and Predacons in Beast Wars!
The faux hinges on his shoulders, is indeed replicating the hinges on the original toy, but, those joints were also details in the show. Also I like this figure very much.
@PerspectiveEnd Also, his opening jaw does look like a dopey and dumb little smile which adds to the cute factor, and also represents Silverbolt's character quite well, me thinks
Personally, all the things you mentioned in robot mode ,to me sound extremely nitpicky(apart from the paint distribution, that's something always pissed me off about hasbro, Legacy Cybertron Starscream is a good example for that, amazing figure, his legs are devoid of any color, they should've taken all the red from the tail fins and put them on the shins) As for the beast mode, yeah, i get it, but to me all the beast wars toy beast modes looked awful (until we got to the transmetal 1 era.), no matter if it was vintage or modern, so I'm a lot more forgiving about their mistakes.
The hinge in his chest is likely there to keep the mold simpler, which saves budget on the tooling and molding process. If you take off the belly spikes you can see that it's already a complicated part.
I FIGURED OUT THE CENTER CHEST HINGE. The plastic on the neck is different than on the chest. They needed to attach it somehow so they used that hinge.
mmm, i keep getting into situations where its like, "so heres the figure" and i'm like "hmm not bad it looks good" And then it replies with "THIS THING BLOWS SO HARD MY HOUSE SHOOK" how do i keep finding these situations!??!!?!??!?
That was a great summation. Though maybe I'm biased since it's like something I would have written. And I don't know, but I think I found my long lost brother.
I think the hinges were there because the show model had them. He did. I've rewatched Beast Wars at least six - seven times over the course of six years. Don't argue with me, boy.
@@shirothenoodle1810 Disagree. I believe there are more important articulation points. ROTB Airazor has no waist swivel and she can be quite expressive with her posing.
I saw this at Target and put him in my basket. After about five minutes of staring at his lifeless face I put him back on the shelf. Silverbolt *NEEDS* an expressive face!
Then just draw the face with different expressions? If it's an action figure, a neutral face is acceptable. If you're trying to animate it, you dont want a character stuck with the exact same expression. I don't see a problem with having no expression on the shelf toy. If you really want to make him express, just draw it.
The shoulder hinges are from the show, same as the chest hinge, that's not toy accuracy that's screen accuracy...of course Silverbolt had those in the show for toy accuracy so it comes back around, but I like them. I agree about the wings, hope a third party steps in and gives us big wings with forward hinges, not sure if anything can be done about the tail feathers. The face feels wrong because it's neutral and Silverbolt was constantly making expressions or tilting his head in confusion.
When did they ever give an indication that they would move away from the realistic beast modes? The behind the scens for tm2 megatron mentioned how hard it was for their pc to render the model due to all the scales they added for dragon mode. Tigerhawk they showed a diagram of what sculpting parts were reused from tigertron and airazor. The realism isn't going to stop anytime soon by the looks of things
I think his head looks off because its not "furry enough", it looks like they were trying to get it as close as they can but are leaving enough room to evoid being accused of being a furry.
But Dragon Megatron, and Tigerhawk, look WAAAAAAAAAY more accurate to the show models than anything else. I'm not too worried about some reused textures here and there. And maybe that's what they were doing wrong with the head.
me who just go his copy: "who's a good puppy birb? such a lovable dork" for real that backpack from the 90s toy i wanted to fold down so darn badly as a kid
I just bought him, yeah, he has an interesting transformation with how he completely turns around for his transformation but he does nothing truely amazing like quake does
I bought him sight unseen cause I love Silverbolt, and when I got him out of the box it just felt... wrong. The fake joints, the weird proportions, the goofy headsculpt. And then his beast mode just made things worse. I got him on sale but was already thinking of returning him, now your video is kind of pushing me more in that direction (Admitted he has grown on me since the first day, but seeing the original figure next to him really drives it home how subpar he is)
While I'm sad you hated it, I was still excited to see it up for review. Silverbolt was integral to my childhood, so I'm just pleased to have another of him after 30 years.
I understand that feeling so much, but I think that's why I'm so mad. This was his first time in 30 years, and they phoned it in. He deserved better. I just hope the Transarts figure does him justice. And I just hope the Review was enjoyable, I was trying to make it funny rather than just let my rage take over.
Honestly, the first thing that I noticed when I saw this figure was just how far apart his arms looked. All his other problems could still be there but just the way his arms look is so weird to me that I can't bring myself to buy him.
Tbh my worst gripe with this figure is that he can't shoot over his shoulder with his wing guns. He may have used that attack more than his feather swords, so him missing them pisses off SOOOOO much
Glad to know your an Silverbolt fan. I can definitely see what you mean about Silverbolt, it’s an odd figure that could’ve been improved with some better paint tbh
Kingdom Cyclonus was also one of my favorite, but literally every copy had brown limbs, like they oursourced to Weijiang for the materials. I got a Generations Select Cyclonus for that reason.
I did not realize just how much better the original looks than the new one. I was totally 100% in on this until you showed the transformation that had random parts that don't do anything. I'll just get pounded on Ebay for an original. Thanks for the really in-depth review here.
No problem, happy to do it, and I got my OG one after this came in, on ebay my self, FOR LESS than I paid for the Legacy one, and that thing wasn't even scalped. So it's just all win for me on that front.
Honestly, finding a used inbox old figure from the original beast wars would only be slightly more expensive than this. Like double the normal price at most for an amazing figure
Outstanding review PerspectiveEnd!! I was blinded by my desire to have a figure of BW Silverbolt in my collection, I had no idea just how numerous his flaws were. lol Hopefully if we get a Legacy figure of Quickstrike it will be similar to Tigerhawk instead of Silverbolt. Keep on being amazing.
How you feel about this entire figure, I felt about the new animated bumblebees legs. My boy’s catchphrase was “wheels on heels” but the designer put them on his knees and gave him baby feet. Needless changes that only make the figure worse.
I never really considered Animated Bumblebee's feet a key feature of his design, but he was like the Autobot I cared least about in Animated, so I can see how I didn't pick up on his design ques.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s just frustrating they already had molds with show Accurate sculpting and transformations for both figures and made confusing design decisions. Space Wheeljack proves they can do better on both fronts.
I was definitely underwhelmed with the figure too. For me it was the colors. Repainted it myself and it was already x10 better. Just a bit of drybrush on the fur and wings took it from a 6 to an 8.
This and Animated Bee are my first United figures and I gotta say, I love em both. Even with my love for the character I just, have a great time messing with it. The Fuzor aspect is something I love and am excited to get Tigerhawk for, and hoping we get Quickstrike soon too. Maybe they'll do another premium finish line if they make those two. Animated Bee, it's a fun little compact goober that takes me back to my childhood. Glad you liked that one, as for this I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as much. Same with SS Rhinox and Origins Jazz considering the former I directly recommended.
I'm glad you are enjoying him more than me. I expect this means you are a little less familiar with the character than I am. I don't think Premium finish will fix this thing.
@@PerspectiveEnd I wouldn't say that, I have probably watched season one more than the rest of the show but only because that's what was available to me at the time. He's grown on me a lot since seeing the show in full. That could very well be the case. Again I'm sorry it didn't pan out in the end. Here's hoping for that core class Dinobot at least.
My only problem with this thing is that it can’t do the robot mode missile thing from the show. Also (5:19) the elbows bending pulling out the beast mode leg is actually show accurate. (Crazy, I know)
Your roasts on Silverbolt's alt mode had me laughing so hard 😂. I actually passed up on this one in the store. Maybe it's for the best. I noticed that the grey looks more muted on the toy versus the cgi model. I've only gotten Gears and Sandstorm from this wave so far, and I think they're excellent. Sandstorm doesn't have a waist swivel, but hearing your complaints about this Silverbolt has made me reevaluate that
I know that feeling, one of your favourite characters being made an alright toy, but because you already liked the character a lot before you notice how wrong the figure feels. The explanation for this I think it is just that the it looks accurate but is so limited by how crap the toy is designed which prevents it from being peak that you know could have been avoided, making it a missed opportunity so big you resent the toy for it
@@PerspectiveEnd studio series roadbuster that thing is a backpack mess. The doors of the car that supposed to go on his calves just goes on his backpack too while his calves has the fake door, like WHY!?
Ngl, when talk of a Silverbolt figure was going to be made, I thought it was just going to be a minor retool of Tigerhawk such a different head(s) and new color scheme. But to my surprise and shock, they made a new mold for Silverbolt.
From the pictures I thought this guy was a retool of the tiger hawks but it isn’t so count me pleasantly surprised I probably won’t get one but it’s cool they made a new mold
I grabbed Legacy Silverbolt, not because I'm attached to the character or wanted the figure. I grabbed it since it was 30% off and I already have a Kingdom Blackarachnia
I really want to get the original. This thing looks fucking freaky. But I cant afford it because it is so expensive. I’m just going to assume the Beast Wars Reissue line in cancelled because it just as never had an announcement in like a year, so i’ll see what i can afford on eBay. The original Fuzor looks great.
Actually, I got mine on ebay, for less than the Voyager. You can find em mostly completely for 30 bucks or so if you are willing to not have the package.
@PerspectiveEnd I thought silverbolt was a retool of tiger hawk but that was a bit stupid thought because silverbolts a Voyager and tigerhawks a leader
I think the feet were changed to make it easier for him to stand since his original feet are shaped weird Even so it’s kind of a stupid thing to complain about, no one cares about the feet on any figure unless they make it impossible for it to stand
The old figure didn't really have a problem with that, and it was way more back heavy, and didn't have ankle tilts. I mean I care. It's just yet another aspect of this figure that doesn't look like the character.
Man, I was looking forward to getting a Silverbolt figure, but this guy is grayer than a Rise of the Beasts figure. And where's the color? On his back. Brilliant.
They should have just done what they did with SS86 Perceptor and Kingdom Core Soundwave; take the OG figure and update the articulation where possible (wings specifically) but otherwise keep stuff the same since it worked the first time.
I can only imagine what horrors PE saw when he googled “beast wars silverbolts feet”.
I actually just went straight to the show, so I didn't have to deal with that.

I feel like if the modern Beast Wars figures were screen accurate, people would complain that the sculpts are too smooth or featurless or whatever
I wouldn’t fully agree, the SS 86 line (for the most part) is quite smooth. And nobody complains about that.
I don't think that'd be the case. If anything some slight fur, skin and scale texturing would've done wonders to modernize the figures.

The one take I will 1000% fight you on: Every transformers figure NEEDS a waist swivel. Take that away and you practically have a brick of a figure.
I don't agree. You can do a lot to make up for a lack of a Waist.
@@shirothenoodle1810 Disagree. I believe there are more important articulation points. ROTB Airazor has no waist swivel and she can be quite expressive with her posing.

I saw this at Target and put him in my basket. After about five minutes of staring at his lifeless face I put him back on the shelf. Silverbolt *NEEDS* an expressive face!
Then just draw the face with different expressions?
If it's an action figure, a neutral face is acceptable. If you're trying to animate it, you dont want a character stuck with the exact same expression.
I don't see a problem with having no expression on the shelf toy. If you really want to make him express, just draw it.
If you want him as a toy to play with, then literally just use your imagination to change his expressions.

The tail would be super easy to replace so yea let's hope DNA design makes a set that replaces 99% of the eagle parts lol

For the Wing Height?
@PerspectiveEnd Not just the wings. The arms are also slightly off
@@PerspectiveEndall right, I just got the figure, and I figured out what's wrong with the shoulders. Is that there too far apart from the torso
This is definitely a solid figure, but he could definitely stand for much more loyalty to the original show model and more wing articulation
I'm glad you are enjoying it more than me.
They should’ve replaced Beast Wars Silverbolt with G1 Silverbolt and make this year’s combiner (if there is going to be one) G1 Superion.

Tbh my worst gripe with this figure is that he can't shoot over his shoulder with his wing guns. He may have used that attack more than his feather swords, so him missing them pisses off SOOOOO much
Absolutely, it's one of his most ICONIC poses, and he just can't do it here.
From the pictures this figure already felt off to me, but this… just makes me feel sad :(
I'm right there with you.
To say this was unexpected is an understatement.
I wish I could have been more positive.
I'm embarrassed to put this beside Black Arachnia.
I don't even bother with it my self it's such a joke.
Glad to know your an Silverbolt fan. I can definitely see what you mean about Silverbolt, it’s an odd figure that could’ve been improved with some better paint tbh
Kingdom Cyclonus was also one of my favorite, but literally every copy had brown limbs, like they oursourced to Weijiang for the materials.
I got a Generations Select Cyclonus for that reason.
I've never heard of the limbs turning brown before?
The chivalrous hero fuzor of the maximals.
Into a garbage can.
I did not realize just how much better the original looks than the new one. I was totally 100% in on this until you showed the transformation that had random parts that don't do anything. I'll just get pounded on Ebay for an original. Thanks for the really in-depth review here.
No problem, happy to do it, and I got my OG one after this came in, on ebay my self, FOR LESS than I paid for the Legacy one, and that thing wasn't even scalped. So it's just all win for me on that front.
Honestly, finding a used inbox old figure from the original beast wars would only be slightly more expensive than this. Like double the normal price at most for an amazing figure
9:55 Now there’s a smart fellow
Do you have Ferak?
oh lord save this thing you literally had to put the review on hold at the start just to be able to swear curse at it
That's how full of rage this has made me.
Outstanding review PerspectiveEnd!! I was blinded by my desire to have a figure of BW Silverbolt in my collection, I had no idea just how numerous his flaws were. lol Hopefully if we get a Legacy figure of Quickstrike it will be similar to Tigerhawk instead of Silverbolt. Keep on being amazing.
Update:
Hes a fantastic toy! Super excited to see what my sister sees in him, i have no complaint except maybe more of a knee bend
I'm glad that you are liking it so much more than me.
I didn’t expect you to hate this, which is a new expectation for me
Error414: syntax.exe_
Same
I don't hate most things, but yeah I can see why people thought I would love this... And man I wish I did.
His stomach comes off on pegs
What?
@PerspectiveEnd yeah I take where his red circle is the stomach comes off its connected by 4 peg no idea why
Great roast. Glad you like the figure.
Thank you. I was treating this as a Semi Roast Video.
When I got this guy, I liked him a lot. Whilst I still do like him, he's definitely soured on me as time went on.
This figure and Rhinox and Tigatron were the only Kingdom/Legacy Bw figures I didn’t pickup just because they didn’t look fun to handle
Honey the new PrespectiveEnd video just dropped
Edit: WHY do shitbolt's wings look like that?!
How did honey enjoy the video?
@@PerspectiveEnd honey said the video was straight fire and not biased.
(Honey is also wondering if you have plans to reveiw legacy gears?)
If i ever get this figure i will probably repaint the the face to actually have some details.
How you feel about this entire figure, I felt about the new animated bumblebees legs. My boy’s catchphrase was “wheels on heels” but the designer put them on his knees and gave him baby feet. Needless changes that only make the figure worse.
I never really considered Animated Bumblebee's feet a key feature of his design, but he was like the Autobot I cared least about in Animated, so I can see how I didn't pick up on his design ques.
@@PerspectiveEnd it’s just frustrating they already had molds with show Accurate sculpting and transformations for both figures and made confusing design decisions. Space Wheeljack proves they can do better on both fronts.
I was definitely underwhelmed with the figure too. For me it was the colors. Repainted it myself and it was already x10 better. Just a bit of drybrush on the fur and wings took it from a 6 to an 8.
Yeah that would help a bunch, as one of this things issues is just how lifeless it feels.
This and Animated Bee are my first United figures and I gotta say, I love em both. Even with my love for the character I just, have a great time messing with it. The Fuzor aspect is something I love and am excited to get Tigerhawk for, and hoping we get Quickstrike soon too. Maybe they'll do another premium finish line if they make those two. Animated Bee, it's a fun little compact goober that takes me back to my childhood. Glad you liked that one, as for this I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it as much. Same with SS Rhinox and Origins Jazz considering the former I directly recommended.
I'm glad you are enjoying him more than me. I expect this means you are a little less familiar with the character than I am.
I don't think Premium finish will fix this thing.
@@PerspectiveEnd I wouldn't say that, I have probably watched season one more than the rest of the show but only because that's what was available to me at the time. He's grown on me a lot since seeing the show in full.
That could very well be the case. Again I'm sorry it didn't pan out in the end. Here's hoping for that core class Dinobot at least.
At this point the colors are wrong on purpose so we buy the premium finish version 2-3 years later
Quite possibly yes.
The intro reminded me of this quote lol “Paul Mcartney called us Shitnot” (Slipknot reference)
My only problem with this thing is that it can’t do the robot mode missile thing from the show.
Also (5:19) the elbows bending pulling out the beast mode leg is actually show accurate. (Crazy, I know)
Yeah his shooting pose is one of the most iconic things he does, so it's super lame that he cant.
we should’ve gotten quickstrike first
Why first?
When I looked at it in images I knew he was going to be terrible he just looked so uncanny
Your roasts on Silverbolt's alt mode had me laughing so hard 😂.
I actually passed up on this one in the store. Maybe it's for the best. I noticed that the grey looks more muted on the toy versus the cgi model.
I've only gotten Gears and Sandstorm from this wave so far, and I think they're excellent. Sandstorm doesn't have a waist swivel, but hearing your complaints about this Silverbolt has made me reevaluate that
I'm proud to hear that. And I support you not wasting your money.
I've yet to find gears.
I know that feeling, one of your favourite characters being made an alright toy, but because you already liked the character a lot before you notice how wrong the figure feels. The explanation for this I think it is just that the it looks accurate but is so limited by how crap the toy is designed which prevents it from being peak that you know could have been avoided, making it a missed opportunity so big you resent the toy for it
Who comes to your mind when this happened to you?
@@PerspectiveEnd studio series roadbuster that thing is a backpack mess. The doors of the car that supposed to go on his calves just goes on his backpack too while his calves has the fake door, like WHY!?
I never realized how bad the compromises were just to put the waist swivel on this Silverbolt 😂🤣
Ngl, when talk of a Silverbolt figure was going to be made, I thought it was just going to be a minor retool of Tigerhawk such a different head(s) and new color scheme. But to my surprise and shock, they made a new mold for Silverbolt.
3:43Holy shit that scared scared me!
Sorry about that. I actually cut 3 decibels off the top of that because I was worried it was too loud, but it seems like I didn't go hard enough.
All i can say is atleast he's reunited with the dark poison of his heart
They can now be terrible figures together now
I mean yeah, her figure elevates this thing a little, but not enough.
ngl it was fun to hear you rip this turd into pieces
Thats what I like to hear.
I was thinking throughout the video that the robot mode didn't look that bad. But when it got to the beast mode... yeah, that's wonky as shit.
Yeah, the Robot mode would be tollerable, and everything I said, I would classify as nitpicks... Till you get to the beast mode.
The one from the 90s looks like a higher quality toy imho
Video of the year. Bravo.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
@@PerspectiveEnd Dude. You rock.
From the pictures I thought this guy was a retool of the tiger hawks but it isn’t so count me pleasantly surprised I probably won’t get one but it’s cool they made a new mold
I grabbed Legacy Silverbolt, not because I'm attached to the character or wanted the figure. I grabbed it since it was 30% off and I already have a Kingdom Blackarachnia
Damn where did you find it for that price already?
@@PerspectiveEnd Target
I really want to get the original. This thing looks fucking freaky. But I cant afford it because it is so expensive. I’m just going to assume the Beast Wars Reissue line in cancelled because it just as never had an announcement in like a year, so i’ll see what i can afford on eBay. The original Fuzor looks great.
Actually, I got mine on ebay, for less than the Voyager. You can find em mostly completely for 30 bucks or so if you are willing to not have the package.
Why does the figure from the 1990s look significantly better than the legacy uni silverbolt
That's exactly my problem.
@PerspectiveEnd I thought silverbolt was a retool of tiger hawk but that was a bit stupid thought because silverbolts a Voyager and tigerhawks a leader
I miss the question of the video very very much
I will do my best to bring it back.
Just exactly how I feel about Studio Series 102 Optimus, but this one is sad to see given it's Silverbolt that got disrespected by Hasbro.
I think the feet were changed to make it easier for him to stand since his original feet are shaped weird
Even so it’s kind of a stupid thing to complain about, no one cares about the feet on any figure unless they make it impossible for it to stand
The old figure didn't really have a problem with that, and it was way more back heavy, and didn't have ankle tilts.
I mean I care. It's just yet another aspect of this figure that doesn't look like the character.
Man, I was looking forward to getting a Silverbolt figure, but this guy is grayer than a Rise of the Beasts figure. And where's the color? On his back. Brilliant.
Let's just hope the Transarts figure is good.
Can’t wait for Takara to make an mp silverbolt in 400 years
Transart has us covered.
@@PerspectiveEnd thankfully
Proof that if something is broken: Don’t f@cking Fix It
At the very least dont MAKE IT WORSE!!!
They should have just done what they did with SS86 Perceptor and Kingdom Core Soundwave; take the OG figure and update the articulation where possible (wings specifically) but otherwise keep stuff the same since it worked the first time.
