Blackbolt (SG)

"Don't look up -- they way you'll never see me coming."

Blackbolt loves to fly. From the moment he came online, he took to the sky, and would never land if he could help it. Optimus Prime put him in charge of the Aerialbots, hoping to give him some sense of responsibility, but Blackbolt couldn't care less about his teammates, as long as they stay out of his way in the air.

In Concorde jet mode, Silverbolt can reach Mach 1.9 and has a range of 4500 miles. He carries on his underside an electrostatic battery, which allows him to strip electrons from air molecules as he's flying and store them. He can then direct this stored charge through his nose cone as a powerful bolt of electricity. He's capable of storing and releasing up to 150,000 volts at a time. He's especially effective in lightning storms, due to their abundance of charged particles. He carries an electrostatic discharger rifle in robot mode that has the same capability. He combines with the other Aerialbots to form the giant robot known as Superion.

As long as Blackbolt is busy leading or fighting, he's fine, but when he's forced to land, or hasn't killed anyone lately, he gets dangerously bored and unstable. He's slightly claustrophobic, a weakness he tries to keep from his teammates and especially Optimus Prime.

Blackbolt was built on Cybertron from the remains of a low-flying transport.
