You know, TF2 can use this jet pack idea. Developed and supplied by the US government.

And, as usual, made in China.

To be consistent with Hasbro tradition.

It's funny because Wheeljack later on decided he can fly again in "Plague of the Insecticons". He was the only one out of the group of Autobots that decided he could suddenly fly again and took to the skys to help Skyfire, who was being attacked by Insecticons at the time.

Wheeljack could fly because his tech specs mentioned he had solid fuel rockets in his arms.

Oh, and I'd say Sideswipe counts because his specs mention his rocket pack, suggesting it's something he always has with him.

It was Sideswipe that Optimus ordered to give him his rocket pack in "More than Meets the Eye".

In "Attack of the Autobots", it appears that Prime and Ratchet can fly briefly. Rumble causes them both to fall into a fissure he creates when he begins pounding the ground with his piledrivers. Rumble runs over to the hole and can't figure out why they hadn't hit the ground yet. Prime and Ratchet suddenly fly up and out the ground where they hover for a couple of seconds before they fly toward Rumble with their arms out in front of them Superman style.

Rumble must be hallucinating.

Do you guys think that Blaster and Perceptor could fly? I mean, if Megatron, Soundwave and Reflector could, why not those two? I don't think they've ever shown Shockwave flying either but I suspect that he could fly, too.

They did show Shockwave flying in gun mode in "The search for Alphatrion" and in Robot mode in "War Dawn" it was when the Aerilbots were in the past talking to Orion Pax about how cool the new flying robots were.

Don't think those two ever flew before..

What made Soundwave different from Blaster? Soundwave can fly, but Blaster can't.

The weird thing is, when they fight one on one, Soundwave won't use his flight ability.

Well, that's acceptable for a cartoon series. Especially when you're still a kid.
