	Because not everyone has a flight-capable [[alternate mode]], '''dropships''' came into common use in the latter days of the [[Great War (Prime)\|Great War]] between the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s. While they are generally armed with an array of weapons, their main purpose is to carry ground-based [[Transformer]]s from place to place, usually between battlefield. To facilitate exiting the vehicle, the troop carrying area is open at the sides, allowing the troops to simply jump out. Like many Transformer-built ships, they tend to get shot down a lot, making a swift exit even more necessary.

	Dropships were used during the Decepticon attack on [[Metroplex (FOC)\|Autobot City]] when the Autobots were trying to launch the ''[[Ark (WFC)\|Ark]]''. Many of them were shot down or simply swatted out of the sky by Metroplex. At one point an Autobot dropship was shot down, and Optimus took a break from ordering Metroplex around to help the survivors. Meanwhile Sideswipe flew a dropship into the [[Rust Sea\|Sea of Rust]] to drop [[Jazz (WFC)\|Jazz]] and [[Cliffjumper (WFC)\|Cliffjumper]] off, so the pair could hunt for [[Grimlock (WFC)\|Grimlock]].
