A Toy That Caused A Lot Of Debates Of A Character No One Remembers - SS Jolt Review #Transformers
Before I get a million more comments about the head, I was more refering to the paint not the sculpt but I didn't say that. That's my bad. But yeah I know what I said was incorrect. Lol
That's not gonna cut it.. *Delete the video, fix your mistake, reupload.*
@@TerminatorTheory agreed
@@TerminatorTheory Oh else face the wrath of the autists
Ty for clarifying lol, i sprnt like 5 minutes looking up jolt and was about to comment in confusion lol
Jolt's head from the old ROTF figure was based on concept design because they made the toy in the last minute after finding out they were going to add him in the movie. SS Jolt' head sculpt is the original
That’s good to know, actually. I do still kinda prefer the concept head though, speaking honestly; it’s a more unique design.
@@isaacclarke195 agreed, I feel like the head on this figure could use a lot more blue
Imagine having the final head sculpt in the movie be worse than one of the designs you were pitched
Then i think DNA would make in-film head add on
I prefer the concept art then lmao
Just got this guy a couple days ago and I can't stop messing with him. The whole character and alt mode as a toy is super amusing to me.
mine should be coming soon, Jolt bros xp
Jolt really has a cult following. I'm a part of it
Same. I'm glad Bay decided to add this guy in last minute in the film's production, even tho it was just to promote some car company
@@ilikepigeons6101 the Volt was made by Chevrolet (who made the Camaro and Corvette) and they just stopped making them
@@YungKenKanekiYT yeah sad
@@ilikepigeons6101 💔
Same
Jolt and Sideswipe were my favorite characters from Bayformers. And I'm happy how they breathed a fresh new air into both figures.
Is Jolt just design-wise? Cuz he was only in the movie for like, 2 minutes if that
I find it cool that they changed the Chevy “Volt” name on the side of car to “Jolt” in the movie.
They did???
Studio series really coming in clutch with the forgotten characters
Kinda by default since the robots were really a small part of the entire movie franchise
Even the background characters?
Another reason we got this guys is because Hasbro said that with SS they will make a figure for every character from the films.
When skids and mudflap then??
@DBart Stop Motion Studios according to the leaks, they're releasing a fallen figure in 2022
@@noahb432 I think they are way too controversial to even appear in any media again
@@trash8172 Yeah that's true
@DBart Stop Motion Studios Wheelie isn't as controversial
I think Jolt was in a DOTM prequel comic, but I don’t think Bayverse Comics are canon anymore and he also died in those issues.
Does Bayverse even have any canon tho xd
@@nickvang7 They are canon.
I love how accurate and detailed the design of this toy is, but it makes a terrible use for all its kibble, not even replicating the flaps jolt had in the movie
They did horribly in the thigh pannels, but anything else? I can bridge the similarities in my mind
@@OGrupxe yeah, at least you can take of his thigh samurai armour, as theyre on ball joints
What flaps he had in the film?
@@tracytron7162 cuz they look like wings, the front parts of the car
Although handling the figure isnt the most easy experience, I find the detail making up for it. He has been a permanent deskbot (for now). And is really nice to look at when I am doing homework
actually the new head is more accuracte to the film ,the old toy head is more based on concept art of the movie design as most movie toys are created before the final finish design is made
Im glad this figure exists, but im still holding out hard for a rotf sideways remake
Oh man a new Sideways would be awesome. I love the original, I’m sure a new one would be cool.
Why does everyone say that when I've been saying for almost 2 years that we're getting one. Tho read he's not going to be an Audi
@@uainjansun well, only if Audi gives Hasbro the license too then yea, Sideways being an Audi R8 like he was in the movie would be fuckin awesome
Now that Jolt has been here for awhile we now need Trench to get a toy, he literally got murdered just to save the Autobots in TF4. He also needs it because I mean cmon, he's one of the few bots willing to fight Megatron plus his entire gang to his last breath. And yes, I know that Hound stayed there with him but Hound still lived showing that he ran while Trench still fought.
TF5* just to clarify
I clicked on the video not realizing that I'd have to wait 16 more hours xd
Came out of nowhere, was crucial for the plot, and then disappeared. Personally, I like the new head, it looks better to me.
Imagine that back kibble is a cape and that problem is solved.
Edit: Yeah all fan bases are toxic, TF isn’t the worst but it gets petty. For the toys, remember it’s neigh impossible to make a 1 to 1 figure that transformers, but it will be close. Though there’s definitely a lot of 3rd party black magic. For the media, yeah some of it sucks but there’s always something for everyone and it’ll be rebooted in a couple years anyway. The beauty of Transformers is it’s always reimagined and new continuities are made.
I really don't want the figure but i feel your pain man
don't worry. I have it and that peg makes it way harder to transform, and it still hold together in vehicle mode without it
@@raymond4592 thank god
@@drrzonics8239 yup
The original ROTF Jolt had the tires on his legs partially painted (I had both that and the Electro one in your review).
Brings up some fond memories of the original and Jolt as a whole. Fun to transform back and forth and the car mode was kinda cool.
the thing i wish they include is a balljointed ankle so it can suffice for both articulation and transformation. or maybe fit a hinge joint somewhere that would bend inward for posability.
Fun Fact: Jolt was rumored to be voiced by Anthony Anderson for Revenge of the Fallen, the same guy that played Glen Whitmann in the 2007 film
Ngl I like jolt as a character idea like electrical whips and stuff seems like a cool idea and since he's a hybrid vehicle it makes more sense
under all that shell of a car, my little joltie is very articulated. he can do the cutest squats and almost every pose he's in, the little happy face he has makes it hilarious. half the reason I got him was cuz he looks likes he's on some illegal energon.
Considering his powers it could be home-made bootleg energon 😂
Awesome figure
I'm gonna be the millionth person saying this, but I'll say it... The head is actually accurate, as the old figures were actually based on concept art. This is the only accurate Jolt figure
Jolt is such an obscure character im like, who the hell cares if it’s totally Accurate? It looks like a pretty cool blue robot man with an interesting design that works pretty decently.
With a unique alt mode due to it being so generic, it’s definitely on my list and ultimately I don’t see why such a nobody deems such aggression in the fandom.
Terrorsaur is an Amazon exclusive! Go be mad at that! He’s a fan favourite and sold out everywhere!
Honestly I still can't see THIS much accuracy with his head, it is more accurate than the other jolts but his mouth piece is too small, his eyes are the wrong size and depth, there's almost no blue and the surface itself seems wrong
My only major complaint with this figure is the lack of ankle tilts
Oh hey it's jolt
"A Character No One Remembers"
me who has owned the dotm jolt since 2011:
"holy crap it's been 10 YEARS?"
The straight wipes could be used as swords
Well dark of the moon background could mean that he was killed by shockwave in the movie tie in comics
Hey that toy Guy you should review B’s-02 skybreaker
The one thing this guy really needed was an ankle pivot, it really hurts his stability and would pretty easy to fit a pivot in his feet. I also would’ve preferred they used the less accurate Toy head because it kinda just looks cooler than the official one. But other than that he’s a solid figure
Fun Fact: In TGs discord there were multiple debates and it went to a next level. Some debates ended a day or 2 later
I love que but I don’t think we need a studio series we need a masterpiece lol
Just got this guy for Black Friday and I love this guy. He’s poseable and his transformation is really fun i like this guy
The head on this figure is accurate, The ones on the the rotf and dotm deluxe figures are not
SS Jolt’s head is based on the CAD model, it’s accurate to the movie. The old RotF Jolt’s head is based on old concept art
Sad how he'll be remember as not only the hero of rotf but the ROTF toy of studio series that didn't get a better justice......I'm sad
that's the actual head he had in the movie, people keep complaining it's not accurate while it's the original toy that wasn't 😂 but yeah we never got to see his actual head in the movie, and it's a lot more generic than the toys
upgrade kit for jolt soon maybe
The head is accurate to the movie though.
People always complain about the bayverse alt modes for being so ostentatious because a Lamborghini countach or a Lancia stratos, or a Porsche were do discreet in the 80s
Not to mention all the G1 aerial bots.
Silverbolt turns into a fucking concorde!
WACK Kibble!!!
To me, this figure just highlights many of the issues I have with the live action Studio Series offerings.
Panels of kibble all over that clash with the host figure and severely limit poseability. A lack of standardized articulation (ZERO/Restricted waist movement and ZERO ankle pivots) which resulted in over 90% of all figures released suffering from "Standing on the inner soles of your feet syndrome". Deluxe class figures that STILL use ball joints for the shoulders and hips whereas the WFC Trilogy had LONG since abandoned those in favor of pinned universals on all figures Deluxe class and up (With only a select few exceptions) which not only look much more professional but generally hold up their tolerances better over time. Using the overly complex movie designs as a crutch for lazy kibble placement. (Like seriously, you couldn't make the giant car panels in Jolt's thighs fold up any more than that?! The car mode already has some noticeable panel lines so would it really hurt just to add one or two more?!) Oh and the fact that many car bots in this line end up with turtle shells of folded up vehicle kibble on their backs doesn't help either (Lockdown, Roadbuster, WWII Bumblebee, Cogman, TLK Drift, Cliffjumper, and WWII Hot Rod I'm looking at ALL of you)!
Personally, I'm not really a fan of the movie accurate headsculpt since it looks a bit too bland for my liking. I'm more nostalgic for Jolt's original head design with it's Galvatron-esque crown and the fact that I had both his ROTF and DOTM toys back in the day.
well all resources are being diverted to g1, g2 etc designs rather than bayverse. :/
@@tallietorchersproductions2740 With the exception of ROTF Devastator, and the SS86 figures, Studio Series is a toyline that is constantly being outclassed, outdone, and overshadowed by it's CHUG counterpart. It's for this very reason that I get the feeling that Has/Tak is only continuing this line begrudgingly with no passion for it and/or creative desire to break new grounds whether they be setting new standards in articulation or upgrades in joint styles and tolerances.
@@astromotive6047 EXACTLY. It feels like they aren't getting creative or new anymore.
@@tallietorchersproductions2740 Part of it is due to the fact that the well of movie characters that haven't been made yet is beginning to dry up. TF1 (Minus Frenzy) is completed, ROTF (Minus Fallen) is close behind, and even DOTM has nearly completed it's cast in plastic. Only AOE and TLK have yet to receive some major additions to their lineup. That and they are TRULY riding on that Cybertron scene in Bumblebee for all it's worth.
@@astromotive6047 We still have yet to receive Sideways, the twins, Hatchet, and still quite a few others. I think they should re-release others like Optimus or Ratchet and especially Ironhide because they are hard to find nowadays.
I have a question. I just got ROTF Leader Class Jetfire still in the box for $30. Should I open it to set it up with my other figures or leave it in the box?
I can hardly find used complete ones in eBay for less than 50 dollars...Unless I misunderstood. The original rotf leader or the ss one?
1:47 incorrect the head is accurate in one shot if you pause it just right you can get a good look at the head which is nearly identical to the SS figure
The head we see on older figures is based on concept art
I had a redeco of Jazz made into Smokescreen growing up so I always thought Ratchet resurrected Jazz into Smokescreen and that was the character to ‘jolt’ Optimus for some odd reason
1:00 reminds me of studio series thunder cracker 🤣
I just wish Jolt had an actual character instead of merely being a plot device.
Even Que/Wheeljack got some lines and he was just as much of a plot device
Another reason the whips don't go into the palms is because you risk shearing off the pegs when you remove them
Remember when Jolt got attacked by a zombie Dead End in the desert, and said zombie Dead End almost consumed bumblebee? That zombie Dead End should get a SS figure.
hahaha “earthrise smokescreen’s guns” *i understood that reference*
Men, I just want SS Skids and Mudflap.
Just wait for the inevitable third-party version of this guy.
And as a fact it will probably be better then the official
@@needleswasteland420 It’s gonna cost 3x as much so probably.
@@_V.Va_ Depends, there are oversized KO's (~ MPM scale) of a few studio series figures that go for ~$40 CAD... Oversized Blackout is most expensive but even that doesn't break $80 if I remember correctly
@@JM64 Wei Jiang Blackout goes for like $150+ now.
And 3rd Party figures only go for around $50 if it's just an upscale of a mainline figure.
If it's an original mold created by the 3rd Party themselves, it always costs above $80.
@@_V.Va_ Yes I was off with the Wei Jang Blackout price
And otherwise yes you're correct
I don't get people complaining about this character, either. Obscure characters are fun to have. I'll gladly take a SS Jolt and a G1 Hauler from the Grapple mold
Yoo thats electric whip man guy dude
Bro I still hated the toy when the official images came out lol I don't like how restricted it looks that in the cable is just too obvious for that design it just draws me away from it which is weird because most cases I would have no problem with it I think it's just the backpack and the hip doors
Pick this guy up, and if you dont want it to be jolt, your own little autobot
I didn’t hesitate to pick it up I wanted one back as a kid but I never got one so i was happy to see him show up at my Walmart, please I just want Que now I hope we get one soon
I like to belive that the background being dotm is a nod to him being in the dotm toyline
5:15 There are a lot of yellow Camaros out there so Bee would be disguised well...
Honestly of all the first movie Autobots I'd say Jazz stuck out the most, I've only seen *one* Pontiac solstice and that one was a hot-pink convertible if I remember correctly.
Granted it doesn't help that Pontiac went under in 2009
Or jolt was the camera man for dotm
I’m personally enjoying jolt he has a nice and complex transformation really good articulation and is just fun to mess around with.
I want this jolt but I don't think it will be available in christmas anymore 🥺 I really want it but I have to wait till Christmas
I really want to also love this figure because the head lacks Color it's just grey
I got a really goood discount on Amazon, $17.99 and I love the figure
That car looks like you 3d printed it out of a easy bake oven.
I got SS Jolt because I had the DOTM Mechtech Jolt, but he broke, so I god SS as a replacement
the head he has is the real head from the movie and the ones on the old toy was a concept art
I've honestly always like Jolt not cys of the movie but because when TF3 came out, I bought 2 Jolt figures (i think leader class and one of those smaller ones that are really mini, which i still have) and because of that, I love Jolt
I've just realised that studio series ratchet is just a re-release
Well. Its better than the first version.
Its videos like these that sold me on buying this figure
Cult of Jolt where y'all at?
Just saying but the head is accurate, its just that the old toy was from concept art, similar to the earth mode bumblebee movie characters, so yh, its actually accurate
I could of bought him for a sales price but I passed. I read he is abit awkward when it come to his parts getting in each other way.
Hello darkness my old friend
Can someone provide a link to the images of the leaked figure? I Wanna see if it's as bad as people say
Fellow Canadian and customizer here. How do i join your discord?
I know this is off topic but does anybody have AOE voyager class Hound? I was thinking about getting him and what an opinion of him
All my instincts tell me I should not like this figure. But I honestly adore it.
i think the head is off i think the head was rounder than what we got hope they make a upgrade kit
Jolt my second favorite transformer
the head is accurate to the movie and I like it more
Funny how you talk about the leaked images being different from the final version when they looked identical.
Sounds like some bias coming in there.
Nice
I can't beleive the entire fandom wanted jolt's wires to be gay 😔
I remember Jolt and I love him.
I can't decide whether I want one or not. On one hand, robot mode is cool (minus the head), but on the other hand, I find his vehicle mode ugly.
I would like to git a movie masterpiece of this transformer
Call me nitpicky, but I reallt don't get why most of the SS figures have no ankle pivot. Some of them could easily have one, but just don't?
Hasbro is too busy milking G1 fanboys to bother
@@JM64 bullshit. If the BB figures can have them so can these. That's not a valid reason
@@theraginginfernape9496 BB movie is just G1 with extra steps
I thought Jolt was awesome and I still need to get one.
Great video. ❤🎉
i had dark of the moon jolt and loved him and i got ss dino so this is a figuer im picking up
I still remember this
Real problem with modern figures is that they are real small
I think that’s good if you’re trying to manage space.
How can no one remember, "JOLT! ELECTRIFY!"
They remember that.
But ask someone what Jolt was doing the rest of the time and you'll likely hear crickets.
I don't even mind the design (then again I enjoyed the first 3 bayformers movies) but he isn't a character, he's a plot device.
I got jolt from biglots...biglots...BIGLOTS!!!!!!!
I like the jolt but I want studio series ironhide
Why does he have 2 faux forming wheels on each leg? That makes it so he has 8 wheels visible in robot mode. What’s the point? Faux forming bad
Because in the actual movie and design his legs are supposed to be formed by window bits and his wheels split into two (four each) for the knees
@@uainjansun but as a toy, I can still see the real wheels in other places, so it doesn't make sense. (To be fair it didn't really make sense as a movie design either, but that's beside the point)
@@izzik2781 it's for design purpose like many
