Flier (WFC)
From Transformers Wiki
- Fliers are a body-type in theWar for Cybertronportion of theAligned continuity family.
AFlier,also called Jet Soldiers, is a soldier type employed by theAutobots,Decepticons,andNeutralforces, mostly during theGreat War.Fliers swap between their Cybertronian jetalternate modeand their robot modes, where they could also hover in the air. Relatively weak as combatants, Fliers often attack in groups to make up for it. Highly maneuverable in jet mode, Fliers can be a very difficult target to lock onto with some weapons. They become easier to strike in their hovering robot mode, but they also become more accurate as well. They carry some form ofX12 Scrapmaker.Besides direct hits, another method of eliminating Fliers is to shoot their foot thrusters in robot mode, sending them sailing out of control, often into the nearest wall, before exploding.
