An energy-sucking torture/restraint device, the '''variable voltage harness''' makes sure a prisoner is kept in maximum discomfort.

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics===
When the [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]] captured the "renegade" [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]] and prepared to bring him back to the ''Ark'', Autobot commander [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] had a variable voltage harness prepared as punishment for the deserter. [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]], who along with [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] and [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] was helping to prepare the device, wondered if it was not a little bit excessive. {{storylink|Child's Play (comic issue)|Child's Play}}

When Blaster surrendered to the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]], Grimlock hooked him up to the harness, and essentially threw away the key. [[Bumblebee (G1)|Goldbug]], after his own surrender to Grimlock, found Blaster still clamped to the device in the [[Ark (G1)|''Ark'']]'s brig. The time spent in isolation had dulled Blaster's sense of purpose. {{storylink|Totaled!|Totaled!}}

''Via the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|UK letters pages]], Grimlock and [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] would threaten to use the V.V.H. on the writers and artists of the comics for making mistakes.''
