Talk:Flight

Kind of an ungainly title, but I know the fiction never gave us a concise descriptor. Has "antigravity" ever been used for anything in the canon? It seems like the best word to describe what we see. I think it would be especially useful to distinguish this kind of flight from the jet-powered alternative that the Autobots make do with. - Jackpot 23:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Robot-Mode Flight would be a better name, and all the instances of Autobots flying in season one should go in the Trivia section, like all the other errors. 85.195.123.25 00:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't like this article title. The content is just about the magical hovering that happens with Sunbow Transformers in robot mode in an atmosphere, while "robot mode flight" is a much broader phenomenon. -Rotty 00:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd almost just shorten it to "Flight" and go for the whole enchilada. List transformers with the power of flight, go into a good discussion of the strategic implications of flying versus ground-based transformers in Beast Wars, have a short section on those who can fly in robot mode, etc. Good place to discuss the technologies that make flight possible too, since a large number of transformers are listed with specific modes of flight.--Rosicrucian 00:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I like that. I like that a lot. Make it so, Number One. - Jackpot 02:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Working on it. If you see a section you like, go to town.--Rosicrucian 02:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Some thoughts: Who could and couldn't fly in Headmasters, I recall Metroplex and ALL the combiners flying, something we've never seen before? And Did the Headmasters fly at all besides Space and the Head Formation of Freedom? Any other Bizarre uses of flight in Japanese fiction?

Well, trains can fly in Headmasters by the power of Galaxy Express 999 having been highly influential a decade earlier. -Rotty 20:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
