    Looks pretty boss, and I also can't wait to see those electro-whips in action. Not sure if I like his head design, but I need to get a better, non-photoshopped look at it before I can decide for sure. (I liked all of the first movie head designs except for Ratchet, so this is rather surprising.)

    Nope, we've seen the Volt on set. And when Hasbro makes toys for the Movie lines that are not in the actual movie, they use non-licensed vehicles.

    ..."Impulsive and chaotic" describes Animated Bumblebee, NOT Movie Bumblebee. Movie Bumblebee was more G1-ish in his demeanor.

    I lol'd at the image. See, it says "Mark Harmon" in the lines. Fairly obvious.
    I win 10 internets for explanation of lols?

    Seriously, nice one.

    ahhhh that !@"$Y&(ing logo is covering up the text! what does it say?

    shame it says 'autobots battle in secret to' instead of 'autobots wage their battle to', near enough though!

    also i give this guy about 1000/1 of surviving to the end, seems pretty inevitable as it's an unheard of character whos bio says he gets into dangerous situations..

    Now I wonder who the Audi character is. Although from that old blurred picture it really looked like an alternate version of Barricade.

    Probably something like "is on the horizon", i.e. The Fallen is coming.

    Good spot on the Autobots battling in secret. I know a lot of people have been asking if the populace of Earth will know about Transformers, looks like they don't.

    Jolt eh? Hmm. He's not bad looking for a FAB and his weapons sound awesome, gotta wonder if he'll actually have them in the movie or not.

    I still want to know who Skids' twin is.

    Looks to be a promising design. Which they would have picked a better name, I'm sure the Jolt/Volt rhyme was done on purpose so people would remember the name of the car...

    Also, good news that we are FINALLY getting some stuff on this movie. Can't wait to see some of the mainline toys.

    Cool hook weaons, hope he has them in the movie. Not overly crazy about this fig but that's just because I'm not big on the FABs.

    Probaby because in the movie his wheels end up on the thighs, but this proved too difficult for them to pull off on an FAB.

    Looks nice. Not a big fan of FABs, though. Not the best indication of what the actual 'bot mode will look like, but it's a promising start.

    Also, if the Chevy Volt is Jolt, then can we except the Chevy Trax to be Tracks? Would make sense. :)

    Yeah, this is what I've been waiting for! FINALLY we get to see a brand-new character's name and 'bot mode revealed. Jolt looks pretty cool for just an FAB, so I imagine that his Deluxe toy is going to be incredible. The "electro whips" are a neat weapon, and I hope he uses something like that in the movie.

    It's nice to see that the volt wasn't on set for no reason! I do wonder just what paint color he will be though: purple or blue. Either way, I really like the sound of Electro-Whips! :D  Hopefully, they'll be used in the film! :D  Jolt's design doesn't look bad at all, his head reminds me of a knight. I do hope that he has normal hands though! :lol  :D
