Thanks to TFW boards member Smokie, we now have our first look at what appears to be the highly-anticipated Studio Series Deluxe Jolt and also Revenge of the Fallen Sideswipe.
Jolt seems to be an all-new movie-accurate mold, complete with his whips. Sideswipe on the other hand is a retool of the line’s previous Dark of the Moon Deluxe Sideswipe.
We have no release details at this time, but keep an eye out as we’ll keep you updated as the info comes in. Hopefully the official reveals will be soon!
Take a look at them both and let us know your impressions after the break.

After reading various similar comments, HasTak whispers, "Hold My Energon", with a devious smirk.
HasTak 2024- We give you MPM Jolt and MPM Dino.

In the comic and novelization, the combination is all the work of Ratchet, actually, although to be fair instant combination due to electrification seems like it's a lot cooler on screen compared to Ratchet slowly welding everything on.

Jolt being a good or bad or a nothing character is one thing, but the fact stands that we have already gotten two frankly pretty fun toys of Jolt based on early concept art, so we were still missing a Jolt toy that actualy looked like his actual final 3D Model, so it is nice to "finally have that" on a toy that is no doubt the last toy Jolt will ever ever ever ever ever get.

Lol, could've been anyone. Could've been Ratchet. Could've been, I dunno, a guy named Electro.
Literally from a technical standpoint Jolt was a last minute addition to the script. No lines, only appearing in comics months afterwards, and while he does get a name shout-out he appears in all of three or four scenes.
Yeah no. Jokes aside Jolt is a literal nobody. A Macguffin to drive the plot, nothing more, nothing less.

Jolt is the savior of the Bayverse. Without him to combine Jetfire and Prime, The Fallen would've turned on the Harvester and destroyed the Sun. Have some respect for our hero Jolt.

Jolt is literally a nobody, throwaway character. I use "character" figuratively as he really isn't. Just a moving macguffin to move the plot of ROTF to it's finale.
That being said it makes me not give a single shit how accurate he is. As a figure he looks pretty okay and interesting enough for me to get. I'll argue accuracy for actual characters that get more than a few seconds on screen. Nobody characters don't need this much discussion over.

Sideswipe is looking an awful lot like the original ROTF Sideswipe, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The alt mode has fewer panel lines. The hood in particular looks a lot better. I may bite.

ok, add to my wish list

If the Tampa Bay Lightning win the Stanley Cup again I might pick up a Sideswipe and paint it in blue and white with Lightning bolts on it. I shall call him "Bolt", he will hang out with "Jolt" (Who will get Jolt cola painted on him). Sideswipe has those skating feet, so a hockey player look could work with him. And I might even make a hockey stick for him.
Go Bolts!

I think it's a webcam.

with jolt, i dont think the problem is the backpack itself but the lack of spine detail like the dotm and rotf have, i still think it looks great, also, its not like dotm ss sideswipe didnt have a backpack to begin with, what we need is a good side to side comparison

I'm impressed that a camera can even BE that potato in current year.
It's like a Bigfoot sighting.

It’s a figure of speech, half-sarcastic. Same thing as “Poor Bumblebee gets another figure in the Buzzworthy line”.

Why is Hasbro poor for that reason? Do you refer to the BB movie figures?
skwonderfactory
I’ve barely been active this week due to personal reasons, but wow! Jolt looks really good and Sideswipe solid. I wish Jolt had a bit more paint but I’m not too upset.
Poor Hasbro has the entire next live action Studio Series line unofficially revealed though.

Make me want jolt even more now

I’m saying the film should’ve lol
