A '''Flier''' was a soldier type employed by the [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and [[Neutral]] forces, mostly during the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]].

A popular method of destroying them was to shoot their robot mode's foot thrusters, which would send a flier sailing, often into the nearest wall, before exploding.

Fliers are a body-type in the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.

A Flier is a soldier type employed by the Autobots, Decepticons, and Neutral forces, mostly during the Great War. Fliers swap between their Cybertronian jet alternate mode and their robot modes, where they could also hover in the air. Relatively weak as combatants, Fliers often attacked 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. Besides direct hits of firepower, 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.

Decepticon Fliers were nicknamed "Seekers" by Autobot infantry, while Autobot Fliers were nicknamed "Aerialbots" by the Decepticons. Fliers were part of Starscream's neutral forces aboard the Trypticon Station before they switched sides to work with Megatron. One of these Fliers, Jetfire, refused to work for the Decepticons and later appeared alongside the Aerialbots fighting for the Autobot cause. Besides the six identifiable Fliers for both sides (Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Jetfire, Air Raid and Silverbolt), a multitude of mass-produced Seekers and Aerialbots appear throughout the campaigns.
