Part 2: Superion / Silverbolt Official Concept Design Notes & Images for Transformers Age of the Primes Commander

Mark Maher @markclonus is back with Part Deux (2) of the the Age Of The Primes Commander Class Silverbolt behind the scenes. Get into even more details on the figure that is central to the Superion combiner as we get more details on the "skeleton system" and how it is is based on the Menasor system. Read on to learn more about what went into this remade Aerialbot in the report and images below.

Silvahbolt part duex. I feel like Ive always had a great respect and admiration for Commander Silverbolt. Theres somthing about being an autobot leader to a team of bad ass aerialbot jets. Theres somthing about his head design that holds such a stern authoritarian gaze, maybe because of the low helmet brow and the handsome lips? 🤔 If that wasnt enough, they made them combine into a wicked cool combiner named Superion 🤯 As we all know, the jet alt mode always felt like an immediate decepticon thing, I meannn the seekers had some heavy air time in the g1 animated series 😉 so it just makes an autobot with a flight mode that much more appealing!

Alright, enough of my reminiscing, onward with the rebirth of the scramble city functionality! Since the skeleton system is much like Menasor in many ways I thought the swamping capabilities were crucial to keep and Hasui san being the genius he is, enabled that feature while adjusting other things to make this posable giant ready for a great showdown with his stunticon combiner nemesis.

The various places to utilize his long range rifle blaster really gives the look 👀 that I think all of us always wanted. Had to avoid the maize yellow thighs tho 😊 cause dont get me wrong, I love me some g1, but to not do the toy homage gold would of been a miss in my eyes. Suped about how the gold actually molded this time around and it blends together nicely with the painted gold. The unpainted extra piping on the thighs Hasui san suggested in order to avoid scratching in transformation 💡! Also the autobot sculpt that appears on the inside of his split tailwing to connect with the thruster booster really gives you a cool pyramid of autobot insignias.

Next up, I finally got my samples of the almighty thirteeth prime back from Cybertron Con, so next up, Star Optimus Prime. Make sure you let me know what you’d like to see! 😎

Really wish those leg bots sat further into the lower legs more so that only the jet parts are shown behind the legs. Since you have to fold the jet bits onto the tops of the jets and then that entire chunk gets plugged in, it make the lower legs look really stupid. Menasor doesn't have that problem since the cars not only have lower profiles to begin with, the front ends that do flip up end up filling in the look of the feet overall.

It looks like Superion does not have ankle tilts.  Can anyone confirm?

All these Aerialbots look like garbage.  It's like Hasbro is not even trying.  Or at least they are trying to rip us off.

I'm dissapointed that they are recycling Motor Master's trailer junk for the limbs.  The least they could have done was update those fixed fists.....this is so frustrating.

Also, for anyone that buys this set, it should come with a Breakdown to make up for those of us that got screwed over due to its lack of availability.  It's like selling a car without a steering wheel....I'm so frustrated with Hasbro.

Everything looks great. But is it just me, or does Air raids wings look a little stubby.

Ok, I have two gripes that keep coming up.

1) why do autobot commander class figures include blast effects but not the decepticon ones? ( I really like the blast effects and they should be a pack in with all figure scales considering how much we pay now. they have a nice variety to include and use). 

2) why do some figures have wrist articulation and some do not and why do some voyager figures have finger articulation but they can't add that to the combiner figures?

Besides that, superion looks great. The individual bots...we shall see when they arrive in hand.
