Jolt is the name of a Decepticon, a member of the Laser Rods. He turned into a purple hotrod. Jolt's tech spec described him as cruel and immeasurably fast. This means he is excellent at sneak attacks. However, he is also something of a coward, and rarely battles an Autobot foe if the odds aren't with him.
[edit] Transformers: Armada (2002)
Jolt is the Mini-Con partner of the Autobot Hot Shot. His motto is "There's no "I" in team.".
Jolt has aseemingly impossible task in trying to make his partener, the hotheaded Hot Shot, listen to reason and gradually trie to make him mature as an individual. Hot Shot sometimes listens, but just as often is completely indifferent. Although this tends to annoy and dishearten Jolt, he admires and respects his partner's bravery. However, his partner's tendency towards charging in head-first has left them both injured in the past.
Jolt was initially released in red with Hot Shot, but then released in yellow in 2003 with Powerlinx Hot Shot.
[edit] Transformers: Universe
There were plans to release a repaint of Armada Hot Shot called Smokescreen with Mini-Con Jolt, a homage to Generation One Smokescreen in the Universe line, but although prototypes were seen, the toy was never released.
[edit] Transformers: Cybertron (2005)
In Japan the Galaxy Force series is an original continuity, so this character has nothing to do with Armada Jolt. Although he looks similar to the Armada character, it's unlikely he's supposed to be the same character, when in the English translation where the series is supposed to be a sequel to Armada and Energon.
Jolt (Hop in Japan) is the leader of the Mini-Con recon team. He has a child-like sense of wonder and curiosity - possibly a bad thing when he is with his human friends. He refers to Bud as "Master Bud" in a manner reminiscent of a butler. Despite this, he is very loyal to his team and friends.
In Cybertron, Jolt is voiced by Brian Drummond. In Galaxy Force, he is voiced by Houko Kuwashima.
