Bolts is the deuteragonist and one of the titular characters. Bolts has a talent for stumbling into trouble; especially one time when he owed a huge debt to Vinnie Two Chimes because he had lost so many bets to Bolts. When Vinnie found out he was using the Black Box to win them, he demanded Bolts to pay him back, which occurs much throughout the show.
Near the season finale, Blip refused to let Bolts use the powers of the Black Box, which made Bolts storm off. He later gets caught by D-Gor, and after he finds out he is Blood's Bot, he buries his link of friendship with the Thunderbolts completely, and becomes a major antagonist; until Bolts found that he was doing something wrong.

History
Bolts' purpose was to be a killing machine.
Bolts was built by Dr. Blood in a room along with Dr. Tommy, while still in league. However, Bolts was never shown in person in the laboratory when Blip was. Dr. Blood revealed he planned to take over the world, activating Squeaker bombs to finish off Dr. Tommy. Eventually Blip tries to defend him from them, but unfortunately they explode, taking away a few body parts of Dr. Blood, mainly his left eye, his left arm and his body. It is unknown how Bolts survived the explosion.
Bolts and Blip
An unknown time later, Bolts was playing video games on a portable console when Gridiron came and swiped it away, yelling at him that he should be doing his job as an oil boy. After the game, he, along with Blip, see the Thunderbolts enter and they try to congratulate them, only to get beat up by a tall Thunderbolts member. When Blip complained, Bolts replied that they didn't get ignored that time. They soon met the most famous Battle-Bot, Tigrr Jaxxon. Bolts was angry at Blip because he wanted to join the Thunderbolts but he liked Tigrr Jaxxon, who was on the Galaxy All-Stars. After that, the intercom speaks that all Thunderbolts must report to the dressing room for really bad news.
Immediately, Blip and Bolts snuck into the dressing room and eavesdropped on Gridiron. They witnessed in horror three robots become reformatted because they were rendered useless.
The Thunderbolts celebrate.
During the game, Blip accidentally signed up Bolts and himself to be replacement Battle Bots for the two empty spots available for the Thunderbolts. Bolts questions if they are ready to become Battle Bots at all. Blip answers that of course they were (while getting run over). Then the All-Stars scored a huge number of points. The Thunderbolts call time-out and are ready to give up but however, Blip told everyone not to give up: he also told Bolts that he had the most energy, he has to learn how to focus it. The Thunderbolts then score a large amount of goals, but the All-Stars are still ahead. Bolts demanded Blip to pass the cookie-shaped frisbee to him. With Tigrr Jaxxon catching up, Blip tosses the cookie to Bolts and he scores a goal. With the game ending, the Thunderbolts lose by one point. Yet they all celebrate because they were actually close to winning.[3]
Sometime later, the Thunderbolts face off against the Galaxy All-Stars again. The crowd appears to be cheering for the Thunderbolts like before, but they started to boo. Bolts began to complain. Saedee answered his question, replying that the crowd has a short memory just as a boyfriend (referencing to Tigrr Jaxxon) who doesn't know his girlfriend's affections. Bolts sees Tigrr Jaxxon make a fantastic scoring move, earning the audience's interest. As the Thunderbolts tie up with the All-Stars, Blip makes the tie breaker just before the game ends, picking up Bolts and tossing him onto the ground. The crowd suddenly cheers and Tigrr Jaxxon is booed out. Blip and Bolts find out about how they earn the crowd's respect, but they have to go to the dressing room.
A minute later, they discuss the bad things that happened in the game because they lost. Bolts and Blip were yelled at the most, and they were kicked out for screwing around when someone called from video chat. He explained that Blip and Bolts have become popular on Earth, and that they deserve better living quarters. Gridiron bitterly obeys, and the two new-found celebrities move to Welder's apartment.
Together they discover their new fame and fortune, performing the signature move in front of Civi-Bots at the mall and in the hallway. A while later, they arrive to their training ground; in a limo, sitting on a chair carried by two servants. Saedee shoots at them in anger because of the two's boasting and bragging about their fame, but missed and claimed it was an "involuntary response." During the game when they perform their signature move, the crowd says nothing. Surprised by this, Bolts and Blip panic, wondering what to do. Tigrr Jaxxon says that the crowd gets bored easily and he performs a stunning acrobatic movement, making the crowd cheer.
Bolts begs for spare change.
After the game, Bolts and Blip argue about who has greater creativity. They split up as a result. Unfortunately for both, they end up becoming tramps. Saedee reunites the two and gets them to battle again. They eventually lose and perform the signature move, with Blip getting thrown instead. The crowd cheers for the Iron Maiden's signature move, and Bolts and Blip later resign their own signature move. They return to Welder's apartment, all a huge mess due to massive parties and find out that their fans had rejected them.
After that, Bolts, along with Blip learn that even though they don't have great living quarters, they are still friends. They say goodnight to each other and close themselves in one of the Thunderbolts' lockers.[4]
A little while later, Bolts, along with Blip, were led by Steve to the storage room as their new home. When Steve tried to lower their self-esteem, Bolts countered by adding that he liked the quality of his room and invited Steve to a housewarming party (with the latter accepting the invitation). Bolts finds an old weapon, the Ion Devastator 3000 and fired through a vent. Out of it shot out a robotic mouse. After Blip decided to keep him as a pet and called him Squeaker, Bolts groaned at the idea and mutters "You're naming it after a fart? Real classy." He unfortunately, was attacked by the new V-Pet. After Welder came in to examine it, he remained frozen and Bolts stared at him.
During a montage with Blip and Squeaker, Bolts is attacked again.
Before a match with the All-Stars, Bolts proudly introduced his new water based Ion Devastator 3001 with eleven power settings only to find out the match did not use water rifles. During the match, both teams get eliminated for touching the ball (which was Squeaker about to explode). After Saedee tells Blip about it being an explosive, Bolts fires Squeaker out of his Ion Devastator and witnessed its explosion.
Bolts, along with the rest of the team, introduces a rebuilt Squeaker in order to cheer up a sad Blip. After the latter plugs in an ID Tag, Bolts is attacked again.[5]
Bolts and Blip were seen on a hang glider flying across the arena during a match against the Iron Maidens.
Relationships with Other Characters
Blip
Relating to the title, Bolts and Blip are the two main protagonists of the show. They are the best of friends, helping each other to reach their goals from being a Battle Bot to winning just one Lunar League match to please their not-so-bright coach, Gridiron. Aware that Blip has a crush on Saedee, Bolts had even tried to help Blip get a date with her.[6] Even through arguments, they always find a way to make up. However, he often gets into trouble and Blip is forced to get him out of it. For example, when Bolts tried to unlock Blip's Super Mode, he picked a fight with the local thugs and Blip had to get him out of the mess. When Dr. Blood turns him evil, Blip tries to apologize many times, but fails. They eventually re-unite and defeat Dr. Blood to see the first human children arrive on the moon.[7]
Saedee
Bolts and Saedee have a love/hate friendship. He constantly gets called "idiot" by Saedee, due to his impulsiveness and recklessness when going on adventures and Saedee often has to fix the mess. Despite this, they both collaborate efficiently when they must work together on certain occasions, like when they play Lunar League matches. Another example is when they help Blip and Tigrr Jaxxon get out of the tunnels inhabited by the Bogey Bot. On an unrelated note, he has also tried to get Saedee to date Blip using various attempts.
Dr. Blood
Bolts worked with Blip to support his fight against Blood, not knowing the fact that Blood built Bolts in the first place

, until Fall Out.[8] The two worked together efficiently as Dr. Blood's plans were making fast progress with the newly built MegaBlood. But as soon as Blip was about to get killed by Bolts, he feels sorry for Blip and joined the good side. Blood and Bolts then became enemies afterwards.
Squeaker
His relationship with Squeaker, Blip's pet, is often a painful one. Squeaker constantly attacks or acts aggressively to Bolts whenever they meet. This is a running gag in the series.
