Comic Plot

Jolt is on an operation to hunt down the rogue Decepticon, Reverb and causes havoc in Beverly Hills, but eventually manages to capture Reverb, Optimus later tells him to curb his enthusiasm whilst on mission, which he promises to do.

Two days later in Las Vegas, Jolt has caused a mess again in a battle with the Decepticon Bludgeon who is able to overpower Jolt quite a lot, and uses the Autobot's desire to protect life against him.

Bludgeon prepares to finish Jolt off with his sword, but misses and allows Jolt to electrocute him using his sword as a conductor, especially thanks to the massive amounts of electricity in the city around him, but sadly he also causes a massive power cut in the city.

Three hours later Jolt is back at base and Optimus is forced to confine him to base for now. Jolt agrees, but then he hears a distress signal from some NEST members about a Decepticon attack...

Comic Notes

• Another huge cover front.....irritating to store....
• This is the first comic set after ROTF
• This is Jolt's first comic appearance due to his late addition to the Movie Cast
• Reverb rides around without a human driver hologram up (unlike later)
• Galloway is still angry with Lennox for pushing him out of the plane in Egypt
• Jolt must have an impulse control problem or something...
• Jolt uses Bludgeon's sword as a conductor to electrocute Bludgeon...smart fella!
• Though he does also cause a blackout in Las Vegas too...
• This story may be the reason why Jolt is later put with the Cadets for training, to learn some self control etc.
