Some of you may have notice Silverbolt was included in the last Takara TOMY product reveals. Fortunately, @TF_pr on Twitter have just put up a shot of the figure in full color shown here with romantic interest Blackarachnia. Could there be a BWVS set on the way?
UPDATE - See the official product details and Images here!
Silver bolt total length: approx. 160mm

There's so much room there in the robot mode biceps to hide either the wolf paws or the robot arms and yet they designed it to do neither. Just a little extra bit could've completed the look for both modes. I couldn't care less about how accurate it is to the animation model when the rest of the BW figures all had liberties taken with their designs for one reason or another. So why stick to just one being 100% accurate? The one with horrible looking kibble to copy too. Sure it's the only real kibble but it could've been mitigated so easily.
Then there's TransArt that's also going 100% accurate too with their version.
Why on this one stupid looking bit are both companies keeping it like that but change other things that didn't need changing?
Can we get tall/lanky Lockdown? Nope, for sure next time though supposedly.
Can we get big bulky Bulkhead? Nope.
Can we get lean Animated Prowl? Nope.
Can we get gorgeous Knockout? Nope.
Can we get Prime Arcee with leg wheels that don't look stupid? Nope.
Can we get BW Silverbolt with dangling doggy legs hanging off the robot arms? Sure, why not.
