The name or term Jolt refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Jolt (disambiguation).


Jolt is a young Autobot described as a troublemaker and a bit of a snob but loves to battle Decepticons. He seems to have fondness of Earth's nature and a habit of saving energy explaining why he chose an eco-friendly car as a disguise. He is armed with two electro-whips. Jolt lures his enemies in close to deliver a crippling blow with his electro-whips.

Mandarin name : 搖擺 ("Shake")

Fiction[]

Revenge of the Fallen film[]

"Jolt, electrify! Transplant those afterburners!"
―Ratchet tells Jolt what to do with Jetfire's parts.

He is charging his electro-whips menacingly when the Autobots were confronted by Galloway and some soldiers after returning with Optimus Prime's corpse.

When the Fallen forces the humans to find Sam Witwicky and turn against the Autobots, Jolt was seen captured in a net by the human police with Ironhide and Ratchet.

Jolt later travels to Egypt with the other Autobots when they were deported by the U.S. Government. He is seen shooting Decepticons behind Sideswipe.

Later, he connects his crackling electro-whips to a newly resurrected Optimus Prime with Jetfire's corpse, creating an electromagnetic field that transfers Jetfire's parts onto Optimus's body, temporarily upgrading Optimus into a Jetpower Optimus Prime so he can defeat the Fallen.

Jolt was part of an Autobot team sent to a ruined petrochemical plant in Florida to investigate the appearance of several unknown spark traces. However, before they could reach their goal, they were attacked by Soundwave. The ensuing battle didn't take long, as the Decepticon soon retreated, but it was enough of a distraction for Jolt and the others for the owners of the spark traces to get away. Nefarious #1

Later, back at the NEST base, Jolt was cited by Theodore Galloway as an example of Lennox not following protocols and alerting him to new recruits. It seemed Galloway, like most everyone else, never noticed Jolt had been around since before the rise of the Fallen. Nefarious #2

Jolt and his fellow cadets, Knock Out and Dune Runner, joined Bumblebee on a mission to transport the captured Soundwave to a secure location. They were shot down en route by Soundwave's minions. Jolt was thrown for a loop by Beastbox, and Bumblebee made the command decision to free Soundwave and let the Decepticons escape rather than risk further casualties after the recent death of Breakaway. Nefarious #3

Jolt was later part of the attack force sieging Carter Newell's mobile base at Crater Lake. His team was assaulted by a group of Cybertronians Newell had assumed control over using an artificial AllSpark. Nefarious #5Cut off from Bumblebee, Jolt and the other cadets were given help by Sideswipe and the Twins, but came under non-physical attack when Carter Newell attempted to use a replica AllSpark to destroy all Transformer life on the planet. The Autobots ultimately triumphed. Nefarious #6

Jolt learned that Bumblebee was defending Sam Witwicky from a Decepticon attack all alone, and was eager to get out there to help him. To his disappointment, Optimus Prime instead ordered him, Knock Out and Dune Runner to remain on Diego Garcia and keep an eye on the captive Fearswoop along with a number of confused Autobot refugees liberated from Carter Newell's control. Rising Storm issue 2

Jolt took to guarding Fearswoop, but while he was making himself busy telling the prisoner off and reading comic books, the corpse of Knock Out suddenly crashed through a wall, courtesy of Shockwave. He prepared to take the intruder on with his electric whips, but Shockwave was unimpressed and shot him down. Rising Storm issue 3Jolt desperately tried to contact Optimus Prime for help, but his message failed to get through and he was killed by Shockwave. Rising Storm issue 4

Toys[]

Revenge of the Fallen toyline[]

  • Jolt (Deluxe, 2009)
Rotf-jolt-toy-deluxe
Jolt transforms into a Blue Chevrolet Volt car. In robot mode, if the knobs on his arm are turned, his electro-whips will flip out. His MechAlive happens when his waist is turned, causing gears in his stomach move the opposite way. The picture on the back of his box appears to portray his electro whips as his middle fingers. Oddly enough, the Autobot insignia on Jolt's torso is the classic design, rather than the movie design featured on the other RotF figures.

Notes[]

Rotf-jolt-chicago autoshow

Well, at least I'm not Wheelie.

  • He doesn't have any lines in the film. This is most likely because he was a last-minute addition to the film.[October, 2009]
  • It was originally rumored that Anthony Anderson, who was Glenn in the first film, would be voicing Jolt instead of reprising his role.[citation needed] However, these rumors proved false.
  • His namesake wasn't much of a talker himself to begin with either.
  • His name could be due to its resemblance to Chevrolet Volt, the car he had chosen, as it rhymes with it.
