Who is Silverbolt?

Silverbolt is an Autobot warrior introduced in Marvel's Transformers comics in 1986. A large aerial Combiner, he serves as the leader of the Aerialbots, a team of Autobots who merge together to form the powerful super-robot Superion.

Debuting in the pages of Marvel's The Transformers #21 in 1986, Silverbolt arrived at the height of the Transformers phenomenon, brought to life by the creative duo of Bob Budiansky and Don Perlin. Over nearly four decades of publication, this Autobot has shared adventures alongside heavy hitters like Optimus Prime, Megatron, Ratchet, and Blaster β€” the kind of company that puts you right at the center of the cosmic Cybertronian conflict. Silverbolt's appearances stretch across The Transformers and even the crossover classic G.I. Joe and the Transformers, marking him as a character woven into some of the most beloved chapters of the Marvel era. For collectors and fans tracing the full sweep of Transformers comics history, Silverbolt is a rewarding find.
