Volt (Autovolt in Japan) is the name of an Autobot, a member of the Laser Rods. He turned into a grey hotrod.
Volt's tech spec described him a fearless nitro-injected who loves chasing down Decepticons.
[edit] Marvel Comics
Volt appeared in the Marvel Generation 2 comics.
Bludgeon, current leader of the Decepticons planned to create an army of Decepticons, so he constructed the bodies of the Rotor Force and Laser Rods. When Megatron killed Bludgeon and took back leadership of the Decepticons, one of his first actions was to steal the Matrix from Optimus Prime. The Matrix was then used to bring the new Decepticons to life.
Volt first appeared in issue #6 as one of the lifeless Decepticon bodies. In issue 7 Rotor Force (Leadfoot, Manta Ray, Powerdive and Ransack) and the Laser Rods (Electro, Jolt, Sizzle and Volt) were sent to steal Rheanimum, a potent substance Megatron intended to use in his quest for power, from the planet Tykos.
They would appear again in the Autobot-Decepticon alliance, battling against first the forces of Jhiaxus, and then the Swarm.
Volt, Electro, Manta Ray and Lead Foot left the Decepticons and declared themselves Autobots during their final battle.
