- The triangle formation is a military tactic in the Dreamwave portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
When you've got three military jets to play with, it's hard to know how you're supposed to arrange them all. Do you put them in a straight line? Send them in opposite directions? Tie them into a big bow tie? Crash them into each other?
Fortunately, countless years of warfare have enabled the 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. Ground-breaking!
Fiction
Dreamwave Comics continuity
Thundercracker and Skywarp may or may not have wanted to go their own way, but Starscream knew better: he commanded them to remain in the potent and nigh-invunerable triangle formation.
He was right, too. This subtle and many-layered stratagem enabled the Seekers to fire missiles at Superion, breaking him into his component Aerialbots.
Fear the triangle, baby.
