I know that Jolt played a very little role in ROTF. But I can't stop saying how cool he looked in ROTF. Could someone please post a pic of Jolt?

So far nothing about Jolt CGI. Hopefully someday it will surface

Jolt did look really cool.... i never even got a good look at his face though... Woulda been nice to see him play a bigger roll.

I would've love to see him in combat with his energy whips. With those whips he could have destroyed two protoforms at once.

jolt- lol. it was like he was the long lost brother who you havnt seen in years but got the letter and shows up out of nowhere to the funeral of Optimus....

Yeah Jolt was a last minute addition. Probably solely there justify the transplanting up Jetfires parts heh. He didnt even have a voice actor. He basically drove around and helped make Jet-Optimus. Id liked to see his his whips in action or they atleast made him playable in the games. (sideswipe made the second round draft for DLC.) You see him in robot mode when the autobots were ambushed by the army too when ironhide starts telling them off. His bio made him sound like beachcomber, a tree hugging hippy lol.

Well, the ROTF Jolt figure really looks great. I just saw one in the stores. But unluckily, I don't have enough money to buy that one and get a pic of it. :sad:

What do you mean, he was Ratchets First Aid bot! thats totally a big role.

Ratchet:
"Jolt! Merge their parts!"

Jolt:
"Z-z-z-z-z-z!"

I was seriously waiting for Ratchet to yell, "Clear!". That would have been icing on the cake. I think the only clear cgi pic you can view is form the toy, the little pic of the featured Transformers face....thats the only clear pic I've been able to find of Jolt. Hence why I'm eagerly awaiting a movie concept art book....for either movie at this point. Really, what is the deal with Paramount and ILM being stingy with their artwork! I know it's not because of the artists because Ben Proctor has been working on getting an art book out since the first film! GAH!

Also, other then Josh Nizzi's artwork, there isn't any CG shot of soundwave floating around either...understandable though after seeing what we saw in the film.

*Sigh*

There might not be any detailed artwork of him. He was a last minute addition and there weren't any close shots of him, they might not have gotten his fine details finished.

i think that Jolt could have had a bigger part, but GM spiraling downwards and crashing thru the stock market probably made the suits to decide to cut on advertisement.

Well he survived at least, if we're lucky he might transform in TF3, maybe even attempt to fight someone in the background!! :roll:

Indeed. If we are lucky, we might just hear Jolt talk. If he has as big a part as Sideswipe had in this movie, we may see him for almost 30 seconds! But odds are he will stay a background character, as so many Transformers in this movie have been.
