Irrelephant. We're talking about a geth Prime here. Name homology outweighs physics. Especially Hasbro cartoon plot device physics, see entry: Megatron, tiny pistol.

And I think he can fly, he just chooses not to.

edit: ffs

Yeah even as a kid I knew that was pretty dumb how MEGATRON turned into this teeny tiny little Supressor Pistol for Shockwave to shoot peas at Optimus with, when his own onboard weapons systems were infinitely more powerful, ffs.

 

I heartily endorse the product and/or service that converted him into Galvatron.  ffs.

also: score-whores don't want to kill bosses for another reason:  Their pps (points per second)  ;)

is way lower than of every smaller enemy (for example 1-shot popping Guardians or Rocket Troopers, etc.) 

 

SHHHHHHHHH! You're going to fu*k it up for us scorewhores out there  :unsure:

I always wondered about that as well.....that photon cannon on Megatrons right arm, was powerful enough to mostly all of the low-mid leveled powered auto-bots...tho in the movie (animated) Megatron killed a bunch of autobots while in that small gun mode...and Megatron > Galvatron..........don't get me wrong..i did like galvatron in the movie itself, but he as annoying as hell in the animated series that followed...*nerd mode off*.

I beg your pardon good sir's..but Optimus could fly..he did all the time in the 80's cartoon..they all did...<--- Jet boots perhaps?

 

Also,...Clips7  ...Galvatron made it past the movie?..I never knew or saw that..I liked Galvatron in the 86 movie..plus in the Fall of Cybertron / War for Cybertron game..Megatron is a really powerful character..his arm cannon destroys everything..

 

plus... to all the pugs out there that love to nuke stuff for basically no reason...good, more power to you...that means less for me to deal with that wave.

Short answer: it depends.

 

Autobots couldn't fly unless they had jetpacks, but then they couldn't transform.

 

There were obviously a few exceptions, like Jetfire, and also the entire crew of Dinobots for whatever reason.

 

In the comics, even Decepticons could not fly unless they transformed into a jet or something.  The animated series had all Decepticons flying regardless, and occasionally an Autobot or two that shouldn't have been able to, but those are typically chalked up to 80's animation errors.  The pilot episode of the US cartoon had Autobots flying, who would subsequently lose that ability for no apparent reason.

 

When in space, pretty much all Transformers can "fly", though for some the method is questionable.

I guess the only thing left to do now is destroy Cybertron.

I would have loved to have seen taunts from the "boss units".

 

When you fire a rocket at an Atlas, it could start pop-locking, and your missile would whiff, right under its armpit or cockpiece.  Then the window would display "LOL" or "L2P nub", or it could simply do the air jerk to non-verbally relay its message.  I would also accept hip thrusts.  I would go out of my way to hunt down Atlases if this were the case.

 

The Geth Prime could push a button on his chestpiece and turn your entire screen all matrix-ish.  Then he could avoid your bullets in slowmo by arching back.  Then he would know kung fu all of a sudden.  Or he could join with a few other Geth and become Trolltron.  I'd love to see that.

 

The Banshee could laugh when you shoot at her and scream that she's ticklish.  When she came to, she'd suddenly realize she was naked, and then she'd go all Saiyan on you.  Her hair would turn all yellow, and her barriers and armor would grow over 9000, and she'd speed up considerably.  Scary.  Her warp ball would be upgraded to the kamehameha, but it would have to be blue, because biotics.

 

The Praetorian could do a number of things, like spray you, like a dog or stink bug, which would mark you with a debuff that slows you down, lowers your defense, and makes you glow red, making the enemy minions prioritize you.  Maybe it could roll a gigantic ball of red, green, blue dung and try to steamroll you with it.  Afterwards, for the rest of the wave, your teammates cannot see you clearly, and they cannot stand by you, for the smell is both vomit and tear inducing.  As a defensive measure, it could spit out skull bubbles (like Bubble Bobble) to deflect enemy fire.

 

These all seem like very natural ideas, and I'm surprised nothing like this was implemented already.
