    I am looking forward to that. :)  And if it ever happens (ever happens..), I hope it doesn't have a large backpack like HA Sideswipe..

    I picked up Jolt today and I love him! From initial pics and reviews I had been skeptical, but now that I have him in hand I think he is actually my favorite deluxe from ROTF. Just overall awesome in both modes. I just wish that they would release some concept art of him for us to compare the toy to. I guess we'll just have to wait for the Blu-Ray to come out next month.

    Jolt is my favorite ROTF Deluxe so far. Love him. He's a lot of fun to transform.

    Is it bad that I just now found out about Jolt's mech alive gimmick?!

    I had no clue that if you turn his waist there are gears in his chest that move!

    Don't feel bad at all. I just noticed it myself. And I have been turning his waist to pose him.

    Great figure. Sideswipe is still my fave deluxe of ROTF, but Jolt comes darn close to him.

    Man, I seem to feel the opposite of most in this case... I've been searching for him long and hard until just today, finally found him. Now I'm not nearly as impressed as I thought I would be. Maybe it's just a case of over-hype via so many positive reviews and searching so long?? I don't dislike him per se, but he'll probably be in alt mode most of the time, as I find it to be very nice, and the robot mode iffy.

    Inverse hype usually does that. Probably for similar reasons, Blazemaster's my favourite figure of the wave.

    That's what happened with me and ROTF Sideswipe too. These awesome figs really don't deserve all the God like praise, or we will be disappointed.

    I really hadn't been reading much feedback on him and from pics I really didn't like what I saw, but once I got him in hand I really enjoy him.

    Yeah, now that I've "played" with him a couple more times I'm already liking him more! I rearranged some panels a little differently so that his arms are a little more ambulatory and added some silver detailing to his torso and legs. He is a good figure... now I think I'll do some modding next and remove that piece behind his head... I can tell his head would have kick-ass movement were it not for that piece. What a cool head too!

    I like Jolt. The turqois parts I thought were a little more Seacons than ROTF, but I'm getting used to it. Overall, a nice figure that fits in well with the rest of the deluxes.

    Har har... I mean I can't see the images, maybe it's my Wii, but I can not see them... I see the rest fine, but none of Peaugh's jolt.

    Just got this guy.

    He's just awesome, and I actually like him as much as ROTF Leader Prime. I recommend him to anyone. I'm blown away, and I am gushing way too much, so I'll just end by giving the figure a 9/10.

    Well, I didn't like him at first, and he is still not my cup of tea, but I must admit that after getting his back kibble in all closed up to be very slim, I like him a lot more. THe panels on his arms are still annoying, but it's fine.

    I always thought his face looked like a bird.
