JOLT
ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
SUB-GROUP: LASER ROD
FUNCTION: SNEAK ATTACK SPECIALIST
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS: GENERATON 2 #6
"Live fast, ride hard, and leave a great
looking chassis!"
Profile: Jolt is a mean-spirited
egomaniac with a hunger for victory. He talks big, boasting about how powerful
a saboteur he is, but will seek any excuse to avoid a direct confrontation
with the Autobots. Lacking the power for a direct attack, Jolt prefers to
sneak up on enemies from behind, striking at their weak points and then
retreating before they have a chance to retaliate. His covert operations
extend to his other activities as wellrather than go through normal
channels for energy and supplies, Jolt prefers raiding parked cars for fuel
or stealing from local gas stations for spare parts.
Abilities: Jolt transforms into
a hot rod outfitted with a turbo-charged V-12 engine, complete with dual
carburetors for extra fuel combustion power and side pipes that vent excess
exhaust fumes. He is the fastest Decepticon on land, too fast to be clocked
by radar but known to be capable of speeds in excess of 400 mph through use
of a turbo-booster mechanism. In robot mode, Jolt carries an electrified
light saber weapon. Connecting his sword to his engine through a servo cable
enables the weapon to draw energy directly from his central power supply,
dramatically increasing its potency and enabling him to stun his enemies
into submission. Perhaps the most powerful tool at Jolt's disposal, however,
is the element of surprise.
Weaknesses: A decent defensive system
is all that is needed to counter Jolt. He excels at catching his enemies
off-guard, but fares poorly during a frontal assault. |
