Reasons why we love Silverbolt:

Zucca:

1: I am so much like Silverbolt it's eerie. My ethics, code of honor, loyalty and passion are all indicative of the nobility of Silverbolt.

2: He always stands for what he believes is right, even when his C.O. directs him otherwise. He follows his heart for better or for worse, defying fate and enduring a Hell on Earth to bring the one he loves into the light.

3: I have always been fond of wolves, and avian wolves especially. To see an avian wolf as a beast form was but one of the things that drew me to him.

4: His eyes are expressive, honest and are as gold and gentle as the rays of the sun.

5: He is valiant warrior who will do whatever it takes to get the job done, and will always do his best to keep the team together.

6: He stands up for his lady, even against Optimus, even against the nightmarish killer Rampage. With his bare fists he was ready to do battle with the monstrous titan and defend a woman who'd just earlier tried to kill him.

7: His heart of gold has always been an inspiration, and not to be picked on or teased. If he isn't golden hearted, I don't know who is.

8: Last but not least, his capacity to love goes beyond the bound of anything I've seen. As I said, he endured the toughest trials of all to bring Blackarachnia to the side of right.

Zucca smiles, then gets wide-eyed as he spots Silverbolt sobbing loudly, blowing his nose. "That's so wonderful! I can't imagine how you came up with all this, but it's beautiful!" He cries.

Zucca scratches the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "Oh yeah, and reason #9, he's modest as all get up."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amber Dawn:

1. His heart is always in the right place. No matter what anybody tells him, no matter how much teasing and razzing and reproach he has to take, he follows his heart and sticks to what he believes in. He has a very strict code of ethics, and unlike a lot of other Beast Warriors, he'll never stray from it, even if it means harm to himself. And he won't change to impress anyone, not even Blackarachnia (although she liked it; it just took a while for her to warm up to it).

2. He's a knight in shining armour! Chivalry is a dying art, and though the feminists shake their heads, I appreciate a guy who knows how to make a woman feel special, who'd never strike her no matter what. That's a rarity these days, and I take comfort in knowing there's people like that out there.

3. What a charmer! That gallant, sweep-a-girl-off-her-feet manner and his eloquent way of speaking make me all warm and fuzzy inside. If somebody treated me like that, I'd be sure to keep 'em around!

4. I love his beast mode. I'm a sucker for feathers and fur, and I love wolves. He's soft and fuzzy, with those big powerful angelic wings...*sigh* And yet he has those huge talons that show that he's not just a cute face but a force to be reckoned with.

5. Those big, golden, puppy-like eyes. They're expressive and kind; almost innocent. But when he's angry they reveal the true warrior at heart.

-------------------------------------------------

Skyfire:

Silverbolt was an interesting character from the beginning. His strong sense of right and wrong was something that made him very unique. Of course the Maximals most of then time stood up for what's right, but he was different. Also, some of my favorite and most interesting episodes to watch are ones that have him as a central character. His growing relationship with an enemy, Blackarachnia, was very well done. Plus, we just don't wanna see our beloved characters fight a war... we want them to have lives! There was a certain level of depth to him that the others did not have. Then there's his beast/robot modes! His beast mode is just cool looking. I mean a flying wolf.... just looks great. Love the little hints of transmetalization on his fore legs. Then his robot mode is perfect for his personality. Its silver and shiny and really captures that 'knight in shining armor' look. I also loved how he had such compassion for Transmutate.

Over all, without Silverbolt, Beast Wars wouldn't have been as good as it was. He really added something in the 2nd and 3rd season that was missing in the first!

Master Solo:

1. If he's real, I wouldn't be able to resist hugging his beast form.
2. That knight in shining armor is so the guy of my dreams
3. I like the way he talks and thinks
4. As a girl, I can't resist his charm.
5. I like exploding feathers
6. He's the only guy with yellow eyes
7. I like wolves
8. That robot form is sooo neat.
*gets big eyes*
*drops jaw*
*looks real sappy*

Canine Wolfus:

First of all he's my favorite beast wars character. He contains all the good qualities a hero needs. He inspires one to be heroic, this is needed nowadays since there is an absence of true heroes. He is a wolf my fav. animal. He is cool, even if it sounds corny.

7Knight-Wolf:

Here are the reasons I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Silverbolt:

1. I love Silverbolt because he's a rebel. When all the other Maximals
think he's weird, he's never ever afraid to stand up for what he believes
in. He dares to live passionately and lovingly, which most people are not
brave or open-minded enough to do. Among all the Maximals, Silverbolt is
the most non-judgemental. Even if I disagree with his sexism, I know that
Silverbolt has the biggest heart of anyone on the show!

2. I learned something from Silverbolt. His popularity is not the
highest, and he knows it. Let's face it, during season three his
relationship with the Maximals has declined. That's because they rejected
him for falling in love with Blackarachnia. They are puzzled by him
because he is so different. Basically, Silverbolt is considered
detestable to the general public. And here's what I learned from
Silverbolt: when he was rejected, he never had a pity party. He knew that
what he was doing was right, and he knew that it's okay to be different
if he's on the right path. I've struggled just like Silverbolt: and I've
had quite a lot of self-pity attacks. But Silverbolt taught me to keep
fighting even if people think you're loony.

3. Silverbolt is a winged wolf! He is so cool-looking! WOW!!!!

4. Silverbolt is funny. He is heroic, but his brave stands are often (not
always) corny. And they make me laugh!

5. Finally, I love Silverbolt because he's so much like me. When I
watched Beast Wars, my jaw dropped as my every thought seemed to come out
of his mouth!

Kanns:

Reasons why I just adore him? I remember he was my first ever favorite BWT character! A knight in shining armour :). The fact that he saw in Blackarachnia the goodness that no one would imagine she possesses. Always there with the romantic lines that can just melt you :P. His beast mode is adorable. A wolf with wings! D`aww.

Rakshash: Silverbolt is the knight in shining armour who I'll never get to meet in real life. He's sweet, devoted, honourable, sensitive and has a great sense of duty. Even after being recruited as a Predacon by Megatron, he's still able to see that his place is with the Maximals. Showing that although he may seem naive, he isn't really. Plus, he and Blackarachnia make an interesting couple.

-------------------------------------------------

Flyby Stardancer: I love Silverbolt's sense of honor and chivalry. I also love how he's just a romantic/sappy mook around BA and how determined he is to win her over. Knights in shining armor ROCK! And since he's one of only two mechs who officially hook up with someone in the show, then he must be doing SOMETHING right! ^_~

-------------------------------------------------

KindredWolf: Well first off I love Wolves, so when Beast Wars came out with the character I was naturally drawn to him. His code of honor, loyalty, he's chilvalrous, has a good heart, you have to love his Shakespearean way of speaking, and what a romantic. Of course heres a good guy that actually sees, the true beauty inside of a bad girl and realizes theres more to her than meets the eye. You have to love that.

-------------------------------------------------

Freed54: 1. because I'm Like Silverbolt in a can

2. because Silverbolt's Beast Mode looks awesome

3. Finally because he's a hopeless romantic

-------------------------------------------------

Blackarachnia: Well I love Silverbolt for many reasons.

1. He's the PERFECT guy. What girl wouldn't wanna be treated like gold? And no matter what you do he keeps coming back for more ;-)

2. The way he talks. I love the whole Shakespearian language. Plus, the guys gotta nice voice too.

3. He BARELY ever gets mad. There's so much bickering amongst everybody, and he simply stays calm...unless it comes to his beloved...well he's just touchy on the subject

4. He's so cute with those big puppy dog eyes :-D

5. I love his robot mode, its my favorite of the males

-------------------------------------------------

Darkshadow:

1) I like his beast mode, since my favorite animal is a wolf!

2) Silverbolt is the kind of guy that every girl likes, he can be friendly, protect his friends and loved ones.

3) His voice and the way that he talks, that's awesome!

4) The whole honor thing, that's sweet!

5) I love his robot mode I think it's my favorite, at least for the Maximals.

-------------------------------------------------

Safeguard:

-He's chivalrous and he stood up for Blackarachnia, even though she was a Predacon. And his speeches and chivalrous manners (and his theme music) make me laugh. He's just so adorably goofy sometimes! Makes me think about G1 Bluestreak... of course Silverbolt doesn't babble as much as he did, but...

Primal Prime:

He is noble honorable brave powerful and loyal.

Blazemane:

1.) He always sticks to his standards. His sense of nobility is hardly ever gone.

2.) Hands down, he has the coolest armament of any of the characters from all three seasons. The feather missiles actually fit with his beast mode and hee hee... dey go boom.

3.) His beast mode is awesome!

Onyx Wing:

1. Silverbolt is such an honorable warrior, and I can really relate to him.
2. Why else?! He's the best!
3. His Honor and Code of Ethics are almost exactly the same as mine.
4. Wolf/Fuzor Honor
Also, I would like to thank Silverbolt for inspiring me for such a long time, I'll always love him....*blush*

Quotes:

"It is my duty ma'am! As a Maximal...and as a heroic character."

"Stand back, citizen!"

"Perhaps so, but our leader has charged us to learn the truth my friend, and Silverbolt for one shall prove worthy of his trust!"

Blackarachnia: "Oh no. You're not saving my life again? AFTER I SHOT YOU?"
Silverbolt: "It is my duty as a Maximal and a heroic character."

"Although threatening your own comrade is no doubt business as usual in predacon guides of villainy, it is simply... unacceptable behaviour... in my book."
