Flier (WFC)
- Fliers are a body-type in the War for Cybertron portion of the Aligned continuity family.
A Flier was a soldier type employed by the Autobots, Decepticons, and Neutral forces, mostly during the Great War. Fliers would swap between their Cybertronian jet alternate mode and their robot modes, where they would hover in the air. They were relatively weak but often attacked in groups to make up for it. 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. 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. They were first encountered by Megatron's unit as they admired Cybertron through a hole in the station wall. Although the first wave was easily taken care of, more fliers continued to harass the Decepticons as they made their way across the wreckage of the station to the Dark Energon storage facility.
