	Fortunately, countless years of warfare and a military doctrine which emphasizes air superiority have enabled the [[Decepticon~~\|Decepticons~~]] to uncover what may be the ultimate in three-man formation flying: the '''triangle formation'''. Consisting of one jet with two jets nearby (above or below and/or possibly behind), the triangle formation allows all three participants to fire on a target at the same time, ''and'' not crash into each other.
