Jolt; Decepticon wannabee.

Brought to life by the creative energies of the Allspark, Jolt sought the guidance of Barricade in the fine art of being a Decepticon. Barricade proceeded to beat poor Jolt senseless, and that creep Frenzy slashed his tires. Unfortunately for Jolt, this was only the beginning, but he truly wished to be a Decepticon, and so he prepared himself for a long, hard, painful teaching.

Transformers (2007)

• Jolt (Deluxe, 2008)
  • Accessories: Missile launcher, flame missile, Planet X-type Cyber Planet Key

A Wal-Mart-exclusive redeco of Cybertron Crosswise, Jolt transforms into a Bugatti EB 15.4 Veyron sports car. The spoiler is a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transluscent blue flame-shaped projectile. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key in his tailgate makes a pair of missile racks pop up from the engine bay and flip over onto his roof. He comes with a purple Planet X-type Cyber Planet Key.

This mold was also used for Cybertron Smokescreen and was retooled into the BotCon 2008-exclusive Timelines Jazz and Ricochet.

Trivia

• According to Hasbro designer Joe Kyde's design notes on Hasbro's Transformers website, Jolt was originally made as a Road Hugger homage. The name could not be secured, so the he got to be a Jolt homage, too.
