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.
How many flying autobots are there?

Wheeljack could fly because his tech specs mentioned he had solid fuel rockets in his arms.Swerve wrote:Wheeljack could fly, just as all the Autobots mysteriously could at the beginning of the series. I have no idea why or at what point someone thought it would be a good idea to make the Autobots flightless in bot mode.
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.
Oh, and I'd say Sideswipe counts because his specs mention his rocket pack, suggesting it's something he always has with him.
For anyone who hasn't seen Spotlight: Sledge (and why not?!), my gritty and dark fanfiction piece "Holiday" is posted here.

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.

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.

The weird thing is, when they fight one on one, Soundwave won't use his flight ability.
Well its been said that all Decepticon are capible of flight no matter what their altmodes are.I doesnt make a lot of sence but what can you expect

There were a few episodes of season 3 that had Blaster flying....I can name 2 right now...."Carnege in C minor" and "Forever is a long time coming" witch also showed Preceptor,Ramhorn,Rewind and Wreckgar flying.

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