As Bludgeon loomed over him, preparing to strike with his sword, Jolt seized the blade and used his powers to channel the entire output of Las Vegas's electric grid straight into the skeletal samurai. Bludgeon then turned his attention to the casino's patrons, but a repentant Jolt threw himself in the path of the blast meant for them. With one of his electro-whips severed by the Bludgeon's sword, Jolt was sent crashing through a casino wall, but what stung more were the Decepticons' taunts that everything would have been fine if he had not been so overzealous and allowed him to leave the city before attacking. Unfortunately, two days later, discretion was nowhere to be seen when Jolt went hog-wild in the middle of Las Vegas, battling the martial artist Decepticon Bludgeon. Optimus Prime stressed the importance of treading carefully to Jolt, who promised to be "the soul of discretion". Thankfully, Reverb was captured by Bumblebee, but Jolt's carelessness landed the Autobots in a lot of trouble with Theodore Galloway. Tearing across pavements and parks with no regard for the humans in his way, Jolt attempted to stop Reverb with his electro-whips, but instead wound up striking a power pole and blowing every electrical system in the immediate vicinity. The Autobots attempted to subtly divert Reverb away from human traffic to minimize collateral damage, but the rambunctious Jolt jumped the gun and began pursuing the motorcycle Decepticon through the City of Angels. Some time after the defeat of the Fallen, while the Autobots were still in the process of rounding up the Decepticons scattered across Earth, Jolt was part of a unit sent to Beverley Hills, Los Angeles, to apprehend Reverb. Jolt's head appears in the junkyard, implying that he was killed in the events in Dark of the Moon. Following Ratchet's directions, Jolt used his electric whips to link Prime up with Jetfire's remains, generating an electromagnetic field that levitated and bonded the necessary parts to Prime's body, giving him a powerful new flight-capable form which he then used to destroy The Fallen. During the course of the battle, Sam Witwicky used the Matrix of Leadership to bring Optimus Prime back to life, at which point the aged Jetfire volunteered to sacrifice himself, so that Optimus could use his parts to give himself a power boost. He can be seen shooting at Decepticons with Ratchet and Sideswipe and emitting electric blasts. Jolt later accompanied the Autobots and their human allies to Egypt, for a climactic battle against The Fallen's Decepticons. The emotionally brittle Autobots did not take this show of force well, and charged their weapons Jolt began emitting bright sparks of electricity in anticipation of a fight, but things soon calmed down as Galloway announced that NEST was being disbanded by presidential order and that all members and autobots were to return to N.E.S.T headquarters on Diego Garcia. Jolt met up with the other Autobots as they headed back to the NEST base in new jersey, but the team was scarcely given any time to mourn Prime's passing as soon as they returned, they were accosted by military forces under the command of Theodore Galloway. When the Autobots mobilized in response to a sudden surge in Decepticon-activity, Jolt rolled into action at the head of the pack, he was not among the Autobot team who fended off Megatron and Starscream after the two Decepticons killed Optimus in a forest brawl. This is also confirmed by the crossed out card of Arcee with the inscription "last seen: Egypt (misspelled Egipt.)", from this it turns out that the chances of Jolt being slain by Cemetery Wind or TRF is up to you one’s imagination. After the release of the Transformers: Age of Extinction director Michael Bay has officially stated that all previously released IDW prequel comics are not canon.
