VOLT
ALLEGIANCE: AUTOBOT
SUB-GROUP: LASER ROD
FUNCTION: SPEED TECHNICIAN
FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS: GENERATON 2 #7
"I'm revved up and ready to
rock!"
Profile: Volt is the most hot-headed
and volatile of the Autobots. Impatient and impetuous, he'll wade into a
battle before he's even completed his transformation to robot mode, and even
the slightest provocation is enough to set him off. Volt believes in preserving
the peace, but once a battle has begun, he's a fearless fighter who will
stop at nothing. It's not enough to simply drive the Decepticons away; Volt
will chase them down and, if he manages to catch them, dismantle them. Sometimes,
he'll even run them over in vehicle mode a few times, just to make sure he's
gotten the job done.
Abilities: Volt's
turbo-charged, vintage vehicle mode is built for battle, capable of
speeds of up to 410 mph for extremely limited distances. It produces the
equivalent of 200 horsepower in second gear alone. His engine is outfitted
with side-mounted air intake valves to reduce overheating and a front nitro
blaster that vents excess exhaust fumes. In robot mode, Volt wields a powerful
electrified light saber that is powered directly by his engine. Once his
ignition switch is activated, the saber radiates 60 times hotter than a tail
pipe. Volt's technician skills also provide him with the ability to make
most types of field repairs on his fellow Autobots.
Weaknesses: Volt's lack of patience
frequently results in poor mechanic work on his part. He also suffers from
extremely inefficient fuel consumption, resulting in his inability to function
at maximum power for more than a few minutes at a stretch. |
