Jolt looks pretty cool. His head looks like an owl mixed with Soundwave but for a movie mold its one of the better ones. The bot mode and slt mode look good and the transformation will probably be fun. Ill be picking him up. Im liking the new colors on Scorp but i have the first one so ill be passing on this one. The molds not good enough for a 2nd purchase. Only reason why i go the first one was because the two pack with Blackout was to good of a deal to pass up at $24.

Don't listen to the rest of those guys. Yeah I see it. They recycled the head.
That's how you know you're getting an authentic Hasbro product.

Don't worry, when the repainted grey version comes out for the Decepticons everyone else will notice it too.

Ditto on the white/gray parts of Scorponok... they just look out of place. As has been said before, with GOLD parts there instead of white, it'd be a great Black Zarak homage... y'know, if the gear workings aren't too heinous, you could swap out the gold pieces from the 2007 toy with the white ones from this guy.

"Ignorance Is Bliss" and I was a pretty happy camper til you brought that up.
Now Has/Tak is going to get their hands on the idea and do Primus only knows what to it.

After looking at the pictures in the links, I think the swords in Jolt's robot form are pretty cool but too short. Scorponok's repaint looks better than the original color, at least to me.

The fastest transformer wouldn't embody a Chevy Volt.

I don't understand why they made a Jolt a Decepticon for the 07 movie toys and now make him an Autobot.
It's confusing and unnecessary.

Scropy looks niice!

The Decepticon Jolt is a different character from this Autobot Jolt.

In fact, in all the fiction that the Decepticon Jolt has appeared in, he's was named "Dead End" instead of "Jolt".

So, while it's a little confusing with the Autobot and Decepticon Jolts, it's even more confusing with the the Decepticon Jolt-who's-named-Dead End and the other two ROTF Decepticon toys also named Dead End.

Don't even go there. Out of all of the names in the Transformers universe, Dead End had to be applied to more than 3 different looking cars. Yikes.

Not to mention that there's a UK packaging variant of the Scout Class Dead End that names it "Detour" on the front packaging, but still "Dead End" on the back.
