I would say that GM’s Bayformers are NOT Transformers, but this “Autobot”, “Jolt”, looks to be based on the current Volt concept. However, if and when the Volt appears it will look more like the Cruze than anything else as I understand it.
Well, if the Camaro’s appearance in the first flick is any benchmark, we’re at least four or five years away from the Volt’s production form.
Lashing whips? Is that a play on whiplash or an appeal to toy collectors who came of age in English public schools?
And what exactly is that robot going to DO with that car, anyway?
Dang! – RF more or less stole my comments. ‘Lashing whips’ indeed…:-D…
Well, they did get the ‘Speed’ and ‘Intelligence’ specs right.
I’m really having a hard time not nerding out more then that.
The text calls the robot “Jolt” to obviously avoid legal trouble with GM, but Volt is written on the car – see the Transformed Volt’s feet.
The robot would only be able to run for 40 minutes before his gas engine kicked in.
Also, the Volt has gone from being a Camaro from the future to a 2009 Chevy Traverse.
“Endurance: 7” is a bit optimistic.
I wonder where all the batteries go when it transforms…
Ha, I just noticed that it says VOLT on the robots feet. Where are GMs copyright lawyers?
Personally, I was always more attracted to lashing tongues than lashing whips, but anyway…
What’s wrong? It appears that this Volt is actually for sale.
It’s obvious this robots purpose is to drain the treasury of it’s opponents government. Looking at the specifications, I’m surprised that the fireblast isn’t rated higher because of the lithiums.
It can’t recharge its own batteries.
RF: I love WWWTP! Keep ’em coming.
This Robot is from the future.
GM has no future.
He only has a 4 in “SPEED,” so nothing wrong there.
“he’s an almost unstoppable whirlwind of crackling energy”
I can’t wait till we see the new Volt commercial that shows the full-size car transforming into Jolt, the autobot… and then all the GM nuts who believe that will be a new feature of the car.
The world’s first self flagellating manic-depressive Transformer. :(
Some engineer said as a kid, “Someday I’m going to build my own transformer and they won’t laugh at me then!” LOL
This thing may actually make a profit..
@CoffeeJones
You have no idea how hard it was to suppress my laughter after reading that, for fear of waking up everyone else in the house.
The text on the box says he can “get himself out of any binds he gets into” and he’s modeled after a GM product. OK, vaporware.
