What Character is Out of Transformers 3?-- Spoilers Below

It's not like he was really in the second movie to start with.

That some serious bull. He was one that I was hoping might actually get rectified in TF3 with some actual characterization.

It's a big planet. He may be somewhere else fighting the 'Cons. Can't say this is a spoiler though. I expected this with the lack of his alt mode present at shoots.

Like Knockout, Longarm, etc?

Yeah, this kinda sucks though.
I thought he was pretty cool.

Jolt's robot form was great but the car was lame. I don't think the TF universe will suffer much from his absence. Better to have some new bots.

blame the oil companies for the disappearance of the electric car

Maybe he got the pink slip & both he & Barricade are out lookin' for new jobs

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he's out. They killed one of the Arcee bots in ROTF, Jazz in TF1 while Ratchet and Sideswipe got little screen time. Apart from Bumblebee and Prime, they don't like to show the cool Autobots. It will be more Twins and Ironhide (sorry I don't like him, an unfunny insult to G1 Ironhide) and that awful looking Einstein bot.

Huh? I could have sworn we've seen Jolt on set.

Not trying to start the whole discussion of "so-and-so had halfa second of screen time in this fight scene" argument again, but the above quote is very true. I don't see why people should be so stunned or hurt by this news, as Jolt had ever so brief the role in ROTF. Like, were Prime or BB not included, this could be a big deal, since then there'd be like, no robots in the thrid movie.

Still, I'm sorry for fans of Jolt that he's off the casting sheet.

That's pretty dissapointing. I really liked Jolt's appearance and was really hoping he would be back in the 3rd movie. It's kind of sad to see the most neglected but arguably most important robot (storywise) in the second movie get kicked from the main cast. Hopefully they can at least make a nice new figure for him.

It may have a lot to do with the fact that Chevy is writing off the actual release of car as a total dud.

But, yes, his appearance in the second film wasn't exactly pivotal.

I feel sorry for all of the artists that created Jolt. From concept to digital creation to animation, it's a heck of a lot of work to just throw away. I doubt they'll even give a reason for his absence. Most likely just act like he never existed at all.

On the plus side IDW comics will likely make sense of it.

Autobot Jolt, you may now weep.

WHY!!!!!!!!! HE WAS MY 2ND FAVORITE TRANSFORMER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will surely miss him. "Q" better do a good replacement character or he'll transform into fire,ashes & smoke!

His alt-mode WAS lame but...
Seriously, removing him and adding the Einstein-Bot?
I think everyone would prefer Jolt over that...
Oh cool, it got front page'd and stuff ^_^

WEll, Jolt is pretty prominent in the current IDW in movie continuity NEFARIOUS series. Perhaps he has something happen to him there, thus, taking him effectively out of the third movie.

Ah good point, didn't they kill Breakaway there too? Now we know Jolt's fate O_O

They could have just left him behind rather than kill him off -made him Sams' Dads' new Transformer Pal, as Bumblebee is to Sam.
Kinda like: "I wish to stay with the Boys' Father".

He was an illuminator in g2, I actually have the toys: all antique style bots that had built in lights which illuminated their swords, so the electro thingy he did with Prime & Jetfires' remains was fitting. I think he was Hot Shots' minicon in Armada.

I think he was a Decepticon in g2 though wasnt he?
HEY, I thought Hasbro said they try to keep the names on he same side...

He didnt do shit in ROTF anyway. Besides combining Optimus and Jetfire.

So...you like that there's the Einstein thing over him?
That's just what mainly bugs me, Einstein being in the movie and Jolt not being in it...

I liked his desing, but there's not really much to miss, he hardly did anything...

off topic question, but is there any confirmation whether or not this is the final movie?

Glad you noticed that, Megazarak. My friends were shocked when I reasoned it out, but Jolt was (arguably) one of the most important robots in ROTF! Anyways, sorry to see him go, though I'll choose to believe he's off kicking 'Con ass somewhere.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i love him alot y bay y

ha! jolt wasnt really even in 2.

LoL yeah because his 10 seconds of screen time was so groundbreaking and earthshaking..

Einstein bot is epic.

And I didn't even notice Jolt in ROTF I had to watch the movie a second time to notice him.

You watched the movie a second time?

Sorry, I couldn't help that one. It was out there and I had to take it

His toy did seem pretty cool, but I never did pick it up. I bet there will be a repaint for the 3rd movie line though.

I also watched it a minute time and an hour time

Actually, two of the sisters were shot, Chromia being the lucky one, but none of them were confirmed deceased.

This news is kind of disheartening. At least we get a fire truck.

Kinda disappointed... but in no way surprised. About a half-minute of screentime, if that.

Ah crap!

While everyone else is hyped up about Sideswipe, I'm hyped up about Jolt. I love that character!! Don't know much about him but I think he's awesome. I would have rather seen him than the twins get more screen time.

You're kidding? I had no idea amidst all the too-fast incomprehensible flashy things going on. And I watched the movie three times!

No, it happens in the dessert fight seen. Soon after the Autobots see Sam and are trying to get him to OP. The purple one, Elita-1 I guess, rides up and says something to Sam, gets hit with a missile. Then they slow the camera down and you can see Arcee get taken down while Chromia takes refuge behind a building.

I believe your information is inaccurate. GM has definitely not "written off" the Volt release. The release has been scheduled for November this year. The EARLY release that GM executives were hoping for has been scratched-this happens from time to time, and due to the high profile of this particular automobile it is better to wait until the intended November release date in order to work out any possible remaining bugs before the car gets into the hands of buyers.

I just thought of something; all we've seen (so far) is the shooting in Chicago, which will be at the end of the film...People have been asking about Jolt because he hasn't been seen in Chicago...

So when Nelson replied 'no Jolt', that could simply mean he won't be in the final Chicago battle!

Jolt fans; there is still hope! (I hope!)

Well, first of all I really am pissed at Bay or whoever for doing that. The Fallen would have won without Jolt. He combined Jetfire's parts to Optimus, giving him the ability to defeat the Fallen. I do not want to see Jolt get killed in Nefarious. If he isn't in TF3, then post-TF3 comics should feature Jolt vs Barricade, the two mysteriously dissapearing Transformers. I can't say I wasn't expecting this, but I'll have to live on without him. And now, GO RATCHET, IRONHIDE, AND SIDESWIPE! (I can't choose between those 3)

I don't know that he gets killed in NEFARIOUS, it's just a theory as to why he might not be in TF3.
