I really like the Universe Silverbolt mold for the same reasons Mkall stated.
I mean, you can't look at it objectively in 2009 and say it's a marvel of modern Transformers toy engineering but as a homage to the G1 character and toy, it hits a home run. It's not meant to be anything but a figure that taps into G1 nostalgia, in my opinion. It succeeds on that level.
The intent in the design, as I see it, was not to make a modern toy but heavily hearken back to a G1 toy. That's how it differs from most Universe/Classics figures, which are meant to be contemporary overhauls of classic characters.

Yeah, unless one is a diehard G1 Silverbolt toy fan, the Universe version isn't really going to impress.

The picture is from Visualworks so it's just a standalone art piece. I don't think this actually happened in the cartoon. It would have been cool if it did!

You could always display Classics OP on U Silverbolt in alt mode to recreate the art.

I already have Dreadwing and Overcast, are there any others beside Fearswoop?

Yes mate, they are. Mudflap and Sideswipe, I'm not up on the legends stuff, but assume they are available on their own.
Have a clearer picture;

UPC codes won't help at Wal-Mart because their inventory stock is only organized by putting it on the shelf. You might be able to find out that an item is in stock if a very helpful manager looks up the number for you, but if it's not on shelf, they will lie and tell you they don't have it.
Wal-Mart's merchandise system is based upon shipping list that come in and sales through the register, nothing else at all.
It's simplistic in order to make their orders easier.
