Vintage 1986 Hasbro G1 Transformers Aerialbot Silverbolt Action Figure Toy

This is a vintage Hasbro G1 Transformers Aerialbot Silverbolt action figure toy, estimated to be from 1986. The item is depicted in its alternate mode, which is a white and black supersonic jet/plane. The primary color of the fuselage and wings is white, accented with black detailing along the edges of the wings and tail fins, as well as on the cockpit area. A prominent yellow stripe runs down the center of the jet's top surface. Red accents are visible on the underside, likely indicating parts of the robot mode or transformation joints. The toy features visible landing gear, with a black nose wheel and potentially main landing gear that are retracted in the image but contribute to its vehicle form. The construction appears to be primarily plastic, typical for action figures of this era, possibly with some metal components in the transformation joints to ensure durability and smooth articulation (though not visible in this specific image). The overall condition appears to be relatively good for a vintage item, showing no obvious signs of major breakage or significant discoloration, although minor wear from play or age, such as scuffs or paint chips, cannot be ruled out without closer inspection. This particular figure is a component of the larger 'Combiner' gestalt 'Superion' and represents the Aerialbot team leader. Its unique aspect is its dual functionality as both a standalone jet figure and a crucial part of a larger combined robot. The crafting reflects the standard quality for Transformers G1 toys, prioritizing playability and transformation mechanics.
