It’s been known for some time now that the Volt will appear (along with the Camaro SS and the new Corvette) in the new Transformers movie.  Other than this bit of knowledge little is known about the eco cars’ role in the movie.  Until now:

Jolt the Volt

The car appears to be blue rather than purple (in some footage we’ve seen the Volt appeared to be purple).  His name is going to be the ultra corny Jolt, my guess is that GM’s marketing team got a hold of Micheal Bay and told him this is the name is has to be.  Jolt sounds a lot like Volt so that’ll be good for name recognition when the Volt goes on sale.  I also fully expect someone to make an offhanded comment about the awesomeness of Jolt in the movie.

From the packaging it also looks like Jolt will be an autobot.  This part also makes sense from GM’s perspective.  You wouldn’t want the car that you believe that’ll save your company to be one of the bad guys in a huge block buster movie.
