If ever there were an eager little flunky, it's Jolt. Under Megatron's approving eye, he will leap into battle and carve his name into the nearest Autobot. Jolt will joyfully confront his enemies in combat - so long as his massive commander's shadow is on him. Left alone, Jolt's courage quickly runs low on fuel. He's fled more than one battle when the odds turned against him. Megatron appreciates Jolt's talent for malice, but it remains to be seen whether that appreciation will keep him turning a blind eye to his subordinate's cowardice forever.
Japanese name: Hot Row (ホットロウ, ho-tto-ro-u)

Jolt and his Laser Rod compatriots were designed and constructed by Bludgeon's Decepticons as the next wave of warriors. Bludgeon returned to Earth to cause enough chaos and destruction to draw Optimus Prime back and steal the Creation Matrix from his chest, in order to bring life to his new soldiers. Bludgeon got all blowed up and decapitated by Megatron, but his plan was still sound, and the new (old) Decepticon leader carried it through and brought Jolt and the others to life with the stolen Matrix. Their first mission was to raid the moon of Tykos for a supply of the metal-reinforcing gas, rheanimum. New Dawn After a severe beating at the hands of the second generation Cybertronians, the Decepticons joined forces with the Autobots against their common foe. Jolt fought alongside friend and foe alike against the Cybertronians and the fearsome Swarm. A Rage in Heaven!
(The Japanese Generation 2 story pages and mini-manga followed the continuity of the animated series, as opposed to the Marvel US Generation 2 comics, which followed the continuity of the Marvel comic series.)
Jolt confronted the Autobots with the might of Megatron at his back. Turbocharged with energy, he raced into battle at Megatron's command, and he and Sizzle attempted to double-team Electro. The Autobot's knee-flash kick left him seriously dazed, however. He soon recovered and joined the Cyberjets in surrounding the Laser Rods, but Road Rocket caught him off-guard and sliced his sword in half. Jolt also fought the Autobot Cyberjets on several occasions. His fate in the final battle is unknown — presumably he was either destroyed or banished into deep space with the other Decepticons.
Confronting Electro in a swordfight, Jolt was nearly crippled when the Autobot's shaft saber was plunged straight through his chest. Jolt only survived by turning on his afterburners and frying his opponent off before he could finish the killing blow. Still, Electro recovered and very nearly sliced Jolt in two. He died cursing the Autobot Laser Rod with his last breath.
