Jolt (Brink of Destruction)

**Jolt** is a stray Cybertronian Autobot, formerly under the command of Optimus Prime and formerly a valuable member of the Autobot faction back on Cybertron. Blessed by Primus with the power of electricity, Jolt is easily one of the most powerful Cybertronians to ever live, and his masterful conduction and control of electricity make him a force to be reckoned with, as well as a nightmare for the majority of Decepticons who cross his path.

Originally a student of Cybertron's political office, Jolt left the world of politics after his carefree attitude and reckless behaviour crossed paths with the more careful and calculated Cybertronian leaders. Travelling on his own for a long time, Jolt was eventually caught in the crossfire of the War for Cybertron after the rise of the Decepticons, led by the tyrannical Megatron. Fearing for his life, Jolt wandered his planet until he eventually came across the rebellious Wreckers, a team of rogue Autobots separate from Optimus Prime's command. Knowing his power of electricity could benefit them greatly, Ultra Magnus, who was at the time of the leader of the Wreckers, allowed Jolt to join them in their quest to murder Megatron and reclaim Cybertron under just rule.

The Wreckers fought heroically against the Decepticons, but their destructive ways eventually caught the attention of Optimus Prime and the main faction of Autobots. Although brokering an alliance with them, the destructive nature of the Wreckers caused fractions in their relationship with the Autobots. Despite this fact, Jolt remained in good favour with Optimus, as he saw potential in Jolt and attempted to nurture him into becoming a member of the team. Eventually convinced, Jolt became a member of the Autobots and was a valued asset of the team, his power proving very useful in several situations.

However, both the Autobots and Decepticons were eventually forced to scatter to Earth due to Cybertron becoming uninhabitable after the War. Jolt was separated from the Autobots and so as a result did not manage to travel to Earth with his brethren. He instead sought refuge with his former Wrecker friend, Bulkhead, with the two becoming very close as they were the only Wreckers left on Cybertron. Jolt's power was able to keep them sustained and alive on their doomed homeworld for some time, however the two of them were forced to leave Cybertron due to the planet's core becoming unstable.

Fleeing to Earth, Jolt and Bulkhead teamed up together to find the remaining Wreckers, during which they encountered the Autobots. Despite various attempts at coaxing, Jolt decided to stay with Bulkhead, although both Wreckers did help out the Autobots from time to time, and have since become unofficial members of the team.

Although Jolt's powerful presence is intimidating and his gift of electricity is a large one, Jolt himself is often times incredibly childish, irresponsible, and careless. He has at various occasions caused massive amounts of destruction wherever he was deployed, and although it was in the name of the greater good, Jolt's electrical power and at times brutal nature have downsized his favour with the human military as well as the Autobots in general. Jolt is not afraid to crack jokes or deliver immature one-liners, which annoys a lot of his fellow comrades. Although Jolt is enthusiastic and eager to help, he doesn't often think about the consequences of his actions, and is instead so focused on his mission and the cause that he forgets to acknowledge his teammates or his original plan of action, with a misuse of his electrical power being one of these.

However, the Autobots remain hopeful and have made numerous attempts to guide him, and to his credit, over the years Jolt has become more mature and calculated. Despite his development, he is often prone to reverting back to his old ways of work as well as his immature outlook on the world around him. He is, for all intents and purposes, just a kid at heart, which various military personnel have pointed out makes Jolt more human than most other Cybertronians. But there's no denying that Jolt's electrifying power and dedication to the destruction of Decepticons make him a valuable asset to the Autobot cause.
