    Considering he's apparently getting a figure in Wave 1, he'd better be.

    So he's gonna be shoehorned in again? Didn't somebody before say he wasn't going to be in this film? Well, as long he actually gets some action scenes this time.

    Was Jolt really that interesting? I'm more annoyed that a T is being shoehorned in for less than 60 seconds

    then again maybe pressure from volkswagon is why Bumblebee was so popular in G1

    How does this affect the WheelBenzJack?

    EDIT: Upon reading the article, it just says that GM plans on promoting Chevy, not necessarily the volt.

    i think nelson said that there was "no jolt." but just cause there was no volt on set, dosnt mean they couldent put his robot cgi in. but this is great news! i loved the jolt design. and i would be more than happy to get another jolt toy. new mold or not.

    Nelson's somewhat reliable, but who knows. Maybe he was told wrong for disinformation. Then again, the Volt was never seen on set, or was it? A CGI representation, like the Decepticons for the Volt?

    Maybe Jolt's really not in the film, but the Volt'll show up as one of Simmons' cars, and they're doing another Jolt toy to sell some toys. Like Human Alliance Arcee, that can of worms, that.

    Time will tell, but there's not much to go for with the conjecture of Jolt returning. Nelson's gonna come running here, I bet.

    I'm not sure if he'll be in the movie, but I'd be all for Jolt suddenly becoming a Chevry poster boy.

    I think its a good move by GM since they have been trying to showcase the Volt.

    Honestly, how is it possible to put jolt back in the movie?
    The Chevy Volt wasnt seen on set as far as we know so maybe they might CGI the Volt somhow.....
    It just dosent add up to me.

    Jolt doesn't have to be in the movie for them to use the movie to promote the volt.
    they have 4 other vehicles in the movie.
    sure two of them are phased out and one is a concept....

    I will be slightly peeved IF Jolt turns out to be a last-minute "promotional" addition to TWO movies in a row. If you're not going to give the guy any dialogue, just have a Decepticon shoot him or something.

    However let's note that this isn't necessarily the case.
