Title:
Jolt (Robot Mode)
Description:
Jolt (Deluxe Class, 2008)Accessories: Missile launcher, flame missile, Planet X-type Cyber Key
A Walmart-exclusive redeco of Cybertron Crosswise, Jolt transforms into a Bugatti EB 15.4 Veyron sports car (a very, very expensive limited-production, built-to-order series of cars). The spoiler is a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transluscent blue flame-shaped projectile. Plugging a Cyber 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 Key. Jolt has a regular Decepticon insignia on both his hood and Cyber Key rather than a movie-styled one.Jolt’s upper legs are switched in the package, but this is easily fixed by popping them off their respective balljoints and swapping them.This toy was also sold exclusively at The Warehouse in New Zealand.This mold was also used for Cybertron Smokescreen and was retooled into the BotCon 2008-exclusive Shattered Glass Jazz and Ricochet.
Notes
Jolt was originally designed for the 2008 Universe toyline as a homage to Generation 2 Laser Rod Jolt, based on Hasbro product listings. According to Hasbro designer Joe Kyde, Jolt was originally made with a darker purple deco as a Road Hugger homage. His homage was changed to Laser Rod Jolt because the original name could not be secured.Though the toy is named "Jolt”, the character is named "Dead End” in fiction. For some reason, his vehicle mode in Alliance is drawn as an Alfa Romeo Mito, instead of the toy’s Bugatti Veyron. Luckily, he retains the toy’s colors.
