So I decided to rewatch g1 series all over again just out of boredom and just starting on episode 1 I just noticed something... the autobots all flew? lol I barely remember that guess thats the only time they all actually flew without jetpacks right? Man rewatching old cartoons u always seem to catch stuff u didnt catch when u were young.

yeah they flew. but the people in charge realized that the cons needed a way to escape without the bots following. so it was never seen again

AND you never saw Hound sodomize Spike again...Which I believe is a good thing

I seem to recall the Autobots flew on-and-off at random throughout the series. They even surfed.

Man, being the continuity person on that show, if indeed there even was one, must have been a nightmare. Or maybe continuity was partying every night and came into the office drunk all the time.

Most the Autobots flying were in Eps1-3, but you're partially right... you later see others like Gears in S.O.S. Dinobots and I think Brawl (EDIT-- I meant to saw Brawn) or maybe Wheeljack in Plague of Insecticons fly for very brief periods of time.

Season 2 did a much better job of only allowing Skyfire, Powerglide, Dinobots (don't know why), Cosmos, Tracks, Aerialbots, and Omega Supreme fly.

Then comes Season 3 where sometimes the autobots fly in space -- I guess the gravatational pull being low helps?

Hahah yeah well the dinobots SHOULD be able to fly...Except for Swoop of course because that wouldn't make any sense...

You mean "Almost Never"
