Thanks to a recent article by Reuters and a News Tip we got, TFW2005 learns that General Motors is planning to promote Chevrolet Volt.
Quoting the Reuters Article…
“GM also plans a global digital promotion for Chevy tied to the third Transformers movie around its scheduled July release.”
Does this mean Jolt‘s back in Transformers 3? The recent Transformers 3 Toy Listing of Jolt? What do you think of this latest development?
Jolt art thanks to artist Brian Rood.
Note: The last part of the Reuters article seems to be a separate piece attached to the Volt article. Jolt may NOT be in the movie as Nelson of S4TE stated a while ago.

F*** 'em. Only reason he was in it at all is because GM had deep pockets. Take him out, along with the… other two… and you could have done more with Arcee and Sideswipe… at least TF fans know who they are!
Chaos Prime
Is Jolt back? Was he ever there? Nobody cares! Yaaaaay! Okay, I'm done.

You will soon see his work on Transformers: Dark of the Moon prequel comic; Rising Storm.

I am confident the car company has enough money to convince the director to add Volt again to TF3 like what happened in TF2.

THIS. I don't know who Brian Rood is, but I would like to see that Jolt art bigger.

I'd be really happy if Jolt showed up again, but I'm guessing it's not happening.
It's kind of weird that this year, the Volt seems to have been REALLY promoted, yet GM didn't want it in DOTM? I believe that the Volt got "Best New Car of the Year" at something recently… I just find it odd that there's all this hype over the car, yet the Transformer of it isn't appearing in the newest and final film. You think GM would be desperate to get him in somehow.
BTW, does anyone have a larger photo of that Jolt art? It's pretty sweet.

OMG. I would be so incredibly happy if Jolt shows up again. He was such an amazing looking robot. And was totally robbed of any real screen time. How cool would it be to see him slice and dice his way through Decepticon Drones with those electric whips. Too Freaking Sweet!!!!
Can anyone say Human Alliance Jolt? OMG That would be the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AutobotSkids
I don't really care if he's in there or not. He didn't even show up in battle! He just stole Ratchet's chance at showing off his medic skills.
FanimusMaximus
Thumbs up for Jolt in DOTM!!

Yep, I would like to see Jolt back for DOTM, afterall some other Autobot may need a "recharge"

If anything, Jolt was the guy that got screwed over.

Yeah, they could've really fit some great character-building into those five seconds that Jolt was in the movie.

I really hope Jolt's back for DOTM, This time speaking, also i hope Jolt gets a new toy even though i really like the ROTF version.
Brodimus Prime
Shoehorning characters was exactly what I had always hoped would not happen in these films. It shows a complete lack of respect for the robot as an actual character, which is what makes Transformers so much more interesting than, say Gundam, because the story is about the robots. I hated what they did to Jolt (and Sideways, for that matter) in ROTF, and I sincerely hope that if he is in the film that we get at least a spoken line or a transformation sequence.
Also, just because he has a toy does not mean he's in the film. Brawl had his Deep Desert toy and Barricade and Frenzy had their Human Alliance figures under the banner of ROTF. Just sayin'.
Enigma2K2
… I'll always think of him as one of the three reasons Arcee and Sideswipe got screwed over…
Megatron31
If he is back. Maybe he will get a HA toy
Rayzilla Prime
The only reason I'm irked about them dropping Jolt like a rock is because the character has a lot of potential, and it'd be a waste to discard him.
Hopefully he'll be back. But there's a new toy on the way, so I'm gonna be a happy panda in the end, even if it doesn't have the screen-accurate head.

Volt was cool, but If this is going to be another last minute/post-production addition, screw it. If the bot was not in the script, he should not be in the movie. Or else, nothing will make sense, for the third time around. I only wish Bay would stop messing up his movies during post-production just to make a few extra bucks from a sponsor.
mariobros27772
man, i hope so! Jolt was actually one sweet looking robot who looked like he could deal A LOT of damage! Even if he background again, I just want coverage of him
Skyclaw
Screw Jolt! i wanna see Prowl Vs Barricade in TF3
