Toy Review - DotM Deluxe Jolt

[Paulbot]

I thought Jolt was one of the worst ROTF Deluxes. Small, simplistic transformation, and badly proportioned. So, now knowing that all the DOTM toys are new not repaints, I picked this up.

It's a definite improvement. The arms are still a little short and weird and he doesn't have the "whips" but it's otherwise a nice toy.

The transformation is interesting, with the windshield forming the upper thighs and the back of the car swinging around in an interesting way to become the chest (the rear windows put between chest and torso).

Like all DOTM toys it's a bit small for the deluxe, the head is ugly, and the hands are odd. For this toy specifically, the only thing I really dislike is the arms. The hands are weird long fingers, the arms are weirdly jointed and the shoulders don't lock in to place.

I say "Only If" you collect cast and can get it cheap. If you've got ROTF Jolt you should upgrade to this newer model.

Picked this up.

Torso and legs are pure joy - more or less what a movie toy should be (detailed without shellforming).

But the arms... ugh. So bad - don't really lock into anything, and look puny and weak.

Colours aren't great either.

Promises much, delivers a lot but the arms ruin it.

I love this little guy, fun and different transformation. Great likeness to the Jolt from ROTF. The colours are a little off but blend well and the allspark blue for once actually works. I only paid $12.50 for mine but I would of been happy to pay full retail.

Jolt was one of my favourite ROTF figures (and one of my favourite movie characters) and DOTM Jolt is pretty cool, but he has a few drawbacks
His arms are weird looking and have weird posability, he doesn’t have any whips, his colours are a little dull, and it can be a little hard to get him to stand

But as for good things, his transformation is interesting and I like the texture on the black parts of the vehicle mode, the vehicle kibble wings look cool, the feet have a nice and unique design, and he overall looks really nice in robot mode

I'm not sure why Jolt is coloured like his Spark Blast Jolt Fast Action Battler figure instead of his old blue colour, but it still looks nice and the allspark blue looks really cool in vehicle mode

If they bring out a repaint in ROTF Jolt colours I'll probably get it too

Amen.

Well...I have to admit that I love this toy.

Its leagues better than the original ROTF Jolt...
even if his "Electro whips" have been swapped
out for a Mech-Tech Blaster.

The back kibble forms an interesting set of
false "wings" and while the arms don't really
lock into place...but there is plenty of
articulation to make up for that.

His paint job is kinda plain...but the black
and light blue break up the grey nicely.
A few more touches of red would have
been nice...but you can't have everything.

100% Pure Win!
