Here it is, fellas. From the Man himself, posted in the Firetruck thread.

Yeah, I saw Nelson's post in the "Autobot Firetruck" thread. Unfortunately, I can't say I'm surprized.

 

One of the best designs on screen (imo) thrown away just like that...that's just lame.

 

Alas, poor Jolt...

 

That really sucks.... Jolt is my favorite designed of the whole movie trilogy.... (Not including Optimus or Starscream)....
How could they drop him!

 

He will always be remembered as that really cool looking robot that did...uh...Actually, no big loss.

 

Not really in this case. Jolt was a last-minute introduction and was about as much a character as a lamp post. He was just a background guy, every movie has them. Plus, with the apparent amount of Autobots in this movie, it's safe to say there's dozens on Earth and any given group could be functioning at a time. He doesn't have to die he could just be "elsewhere."

 

RIP: Jolt

Died/Disappeared between movies 2 and 3, never to be heard of again...unless a posthumous HA figure is in the works....  

 

D: ......I'm in denial. It's misinformation campaign, he didn't go over the cast list right, He forgot Jolt was actually in the film, but not where you see him. JOLT HAS TO BE IN THE MOVIE!! I'd die if he wasn't...

BB28

 

you would think they would at least kill him off and use him as cannon fodder. waste of a cool design.

 

Aww man that really sucks. I really got my hopes up because someone started a thread giving what seemed to be pretty solid info on jolt returning, something about a chevy volt tester going to chicago to film the volt there. Oh well.

 

yup, saw it in the firetruck thread, and Jolt joins Barricade in the missing transformers catagory

 

Jolt was in ROTF? I only saw it once

The only Character they should bring back is Barricade.... What happened to him again?

 

meh i dont care, Jolt was Only added for promtoe the chevy Volt

 

When I saw the TF2 movie in theathres. I honestly didn't spot any scenes with Jolt in it.

I haven't re-watched the TF2 movie after that theathre viewing. once was enough for me. I kinda rate the 2nd live action TF movie worst than the first live action TF movie.

 

 

I agree. I don't know what people are missing, when he hardly did anything at all (rather than kinda save the world for 2 seconds). I guess it was his potential that will be all lost out on, as he had a cool car mode and awesome electro-whips.

But with some awesome new Autobots that we're already getting, I really don't care about Jolt.

 

That was me. His team got delayed and delayed, then delayed indefinitely. Writings were on the wall.

 

Can't say it's a big surprise... but it's disappointing nonetheless. Having such a small role in ROTF, it's not a big surprise he wouldn't be coming back. But his design was so awesome...

 

But... but... how will the third movie be the same without such a vital and well developed character? I cannot believe the Michael Bay would drop a character as important as Jolt from the third movie. He has totally raped my 2009-hood.

I will choose to remember all the good times with Jolt. Like that one time he stood in the background. Or the time he was in that group shot of the cars.
