Volt/Prime

Release Date: March 24th, 2015

Volt Prime is the Primed variant of Volt, possessing a higher energy capacity and armor, as well as an additional polarity.

On February 22nd, 2017, it was announced that Volt Prime would enter the Prime Vault and be retired from the reward tables on February 28th, 2017. Any preexisting components or fully-built frames will remain as is.

Trivia

 * Unlike the other starter frames (Excalibur, Mag, and formerly Loki) with their Prime counterparts, he does not possess their white and olive default color scheme. He also does not have the black and olive default scheme of the dark-colored Primes (Frost, Ember, Rhino) either, instead having his own unique black and yellow scheme.


 * His appearance was seen in the PvP mod before his release.
 * When using his Shock ability, Volt Prime summons a lightning bolt to strike an enemy from above, along with releasing a bolt from his hand. This effect, however, does not apply to chained enemies and is purely visual. The aerial lightning strike is also unaffected by energy color and will remain white.
