Isn't his name actually really "Volt"? {{unsigned|GUIGUI}}
:Not according to the Hasbro press packet, if I recall.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 18:11, 4 April 2009 (EDT)
::Or recent press coverage. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 18:39, 4 April 2009 (EDT)
:His name is Jolt. However, he ''transforms'' into a Volt. There lies the difference. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 19:54, 4 April 2009 (EDT)

== Walmart.com link to Jolt ==

"Product not found". - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 22:21, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
: You should probably remove the link, then. (I wish Starfield hadn't added the links in the first place. They're so fickle.) --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:58, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
::[[Talk:Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|You can stop blaming Starfield]], since I was the one who started putting the links around, and was the one who put the link on this page in the first place. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 23:57, 9 May 2009 (EDT)
:::But he's so blamable! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:00, 10 May 2009 (EDT)
::::Regarding removing links, I thought about it, but then I feared I would foul something up. Next time, I'll be more proactive. Thanks, ItsWalky. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 22:39, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

==Voice==

Wasn't there word going around for a while that Anthony Anderson was supposed to be Jolt's voice or did that turn out to be false. (given that Jolt never talks anyway)
:Won't know until we see if they add some Jolt scenes back in for the DVD.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 12:29, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
::Was false, because those same rumours also listed the incorrect credits for Sideswipe and Arcee. Sadly, Variety's review listed this credits for some reason. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:02, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

== Page Quote ==

Do we really need a quote for this page? I can understand wanting to have a consistent format, but Jolt doesn't talk at ''all'' and the quote from Ratchet doesn't seem informative or interesting. Given his tiny role in the film can't we just leave this page quote-less? [[User:(Undecided)|(Undecided)]] 18:15, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

:The quote is there because it's an order given to him, and make him do the only thing(up untill now) for what we will remember him by.--[[User:Sunjumper|Sunjumper]] 16:01, 23 August 2009 (EDT)

== Better image? ==

[[Image:ROTF_JoltBetterMaybe.jpg|thumb|I'm in focus!]]How about this one? It's in focus AND his head is in view. [[User:CharlieTheUnicorn|CharlieTheUnicorn]] 15:13, 3 November 2009 (EST)
:Chhhhaaaarrrrlllliiiiieeee. There is VERY little visible detail on that image. The one they're using really is the best you're gonna get [[User:Eire]] 20.19 Nov 03 09 (UTC)

::I think we all died long ago and JOLT is our eternal punishment. [[User:CharlieTheUnicorn|CharlieTheUnicorn]] 15:22, 3 November 2009 (EST)

'''While testing a new communications device, [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] runs into trouble.'''

:''Japanese title:'' チータスの危機 (''Cheetus no Kiki'', "Cheetus's Crisis")
:''Polish title:'' '''W sieci'''
:''Portuguese title:'' '''A Teia'''

==Synopsis==
At the [[Maximal]] base, [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] enthusiastically volunteers to field test a new comlink [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] has developed to aid long range communication. Cheetor is instructed to take care of the device and not engage any [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. After Cheetor bolts out of the room, Rhinox expresses a bit of doubt, but [[Optimus Primal|Optimus]] is confident that he'll do fine.

[[Image:The Web Cheetor commsdevice.jpg|left|200px|thumb|The WWF likes to keep track of their animals.]]
Five [[microquads]] away, Cheetor hears an explosion, caused by [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] trying to recover a mega-cannon from one of the two ships. He radios a report to Optimus and heads off to investigate, openly defying his orders of avoiding any trouble. Primal leaves to recover Cheetor before something bad happens. Cheetor finds Scorponok and radios to Rhinox that he's going to take immediate action. He holds Scorponok at gunpoint, but [[Tarantulas]] surprises Cheetor, giving Scorponok the time he needs to take him out with a missile. By the time Optimus arrives, the two Predacons are gone and Cheetor is left heavily damaged. As he lays unconscious, he dreams...

[[Image:The Web Cheetordream.jpg|right|200px|thumb|This would be so much cooler with a tight rope.]]
:''On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], and [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] all open fire on Cheetor, who merely laughs at his attackers and blasts them away with ease. But from the darkness within an empty water tower, the glowing eyes of Tarantulas taunt Cheetor. He opens fire again, this time finding his accuracy sorely diminished. Suddenly Scorponok transforms and attacks, and out of the blue Rattrap appears for a split second. With his blaster exhausted, Cheetor is unable to do anything but watch as a missile from Scorponok closes in.''

Cheetor reawakens on the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'', having been repaired by Rhinox. Cheetor tries to explain to the Maximals gathered around him that he had to take immediate action to stop Scorponok's recovery of the cannon, but Optimus and the others are still disappointed in him for losing both the communicator and the cannon because of his impulsive actions. Once Primal leaves, [[Rattrap]] gives Cheetor a hard time, causing the cat bot to snarl back and rush out of the room again. Rhinox makes Rattrap face up to what Cheetor is surely going to do, so Rattrap relents and agrees to go after him.

In Predacon territory, Terrorsaur and Scorponok install the newly recovered mega-cannon. Cheetor tries to sneak past them, but is so focused on waiting for the correct moment that he doesn't notice Tarantulas emerge from the ground behind him, and is quickly ensnared.

[[Image:The Web Cheetor Tarantulas.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Hey, aren't you supposed to buy me dinner first?]]
Cheetor awakens in a dark cavern, stuck to an energy web that restricts his movement. Tarantulas explains to him that the [[stasis web]] is draining his energy slowly, leaving the delicious body ripe for consumption. Tarantulas crawls over his captive's body and laughs with delight at the thought of his meal.

In the ''Axalon'''s control room, Optimus, Rhinox, and [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] look over a holo-map of the [[Darksyde|crashed Predacon ship]]. Primal prepares to send Rattrap on a scouting mission, but Rhinox covers for his friend and says that the rat is talking to Cheetor.

Unknown to Optimus, Rattrap is already in Predacon territory, following Cheetor's trail. Rattrap finds Tarantulas's lair, and engages his Predacon nemesis. While the two battle, Tarantulas increases the rate at which the web drains energy from Cheetor. Tarantulas hunts Rattrap through the cavern with a thermal scan, but Rattrap fools him with a "hot box" and blasts the unfortunate spider.

[[Image:The Web Rattrap rescue.jpg|right|200px|thumb|You realise this means we're married?]]
After destroying the energy web, Rattrap grabs Cheetor and gets ready to leave, but one last blast from Tarantulas forces Rattrap to make his exit by diving away from a large explosion... which causes the cavern to collapse upon Tarantulas.

Back at the base, Rattrap lies to Optimus and claims he and Cheetor were just hanging out together. The act spares Cheetor from Primal's anger. In private, Rattrap emphasizes to Cheetor that he was only lying to cover his own hide... but Cheetor is still grateful to his pal.

==Notes==
===Technical/animation errors===
* Being an early episode, Cheetor and the other characters pretty distinctly pronounce his name as "Cheater".
* There also seems to be a great deal of confusion as to what color Scorponok's eyes are supposed to be, changing between red and yellow intermittently.
* As Cheetor is held captive by Tarantulas, the his energy readout clearly drops to dangerous levels, yet in the next few subsequent shots, the levels are at maximum.

===Continuity errors/notes===
* Cheetor wakes up after having been repaired by Rhinox, when generally the characters just emerge from a [[CR chamber]]. Based on this and the Maximals talking about the need for internal repairs in [[Beast Wars (Part 1)|the opening episode]], it appears they haven't got the Chambers working yet.
* The Maximals have been stranded for at least a month (the time it took Rhinox to make the comlink). Either way, it becomes somewhat of a moot point in later episodes as the Maximals manage to communicate through interfaces on their bodies (Presumably, Rhinox upgraded them to compensate for the lost comlink.)
* The incredibly dangerous "mega-cannon" that is the focus of the early part of the episode is never mentioned again and the Maximals never seem to destroy it or even delay its installation.
*Optimus mentions that Rhinox doesn't have the parts to build another comlink. Even if it did work, he wouldn't have been able to make any more for the rest of the team.
* The first time Scorponok transforms to robot mode, right before he fires at the rock, his eyes are red instead of their usual yellow.

===Transformers references===
* In Cheetor's dream, you can see [[Starscream (G1)| Starscream]] in his Earth vehicle mode flying over Cybertron for a few seconds: the [[Decepticon]] [[Insignia|sigil]] on his wing is the first direct Beast Wars reference to either the [[Autobot]]s or Decepticons.

* Cheetor's dream also contains a brief vision of Rattrap's rescue attempt before it actually happens. This is the first of several dreams, precognitive and otherwise, that Cheetor would have through the series.
