Recently I was watching some old Transformers cartoons, and noticed some distinct inconsistencies in it. It "the red spore" episodes, Galvatron makes the comment that Autobots can't fly, and the same thing is implied when the Aerialbots go back in time, and meet Orion Pax (Optimus Prime's original form and name) when they see Megatron flying, and Orion says he's "one of the new flying robots." However, if you watch the very first few episodes, particularly "More Than Meets The Eye" pt. 1 and 2, when the Decepticons attack the oil rig that Spike and his dad are working on, the Autobots fly in just like the Decepticons for the rescue. If Autobots can't fly, then how did they do it early on in the series.
