The Aerialbots are the few Seekers loyal to the Autobots rather than the Decepticons.

Fiction

Exodus

The Seekers were generally Decepticon-leaning neutrals following Starscream's lead, until Shockwave bombed Vos. Though a good portion of the main Seeker forces still followed Starscream into the Decepticons, the survivors of the Vos massacre felt betrayed and joined the Autobots instead, becoming the Aerialbots and patrolling Iacon and Kalis. Jetfire was a Decepticon who defected to the Autobots and mostly worked in a laboratory to improve their flight capabilities. He led the Aerialbots to gather every spaceworthy craft to distract Trypticon while the Ark was built. Transformers: Exodus

Exiles

Silverbolt was present as part of Prime's command crew after the Ark fled Cybertron through the space bridge. Oddly he was the only flier that seemed to be present and his ability was treated as a unique virtue. What happened to all the other Aerialbots that were under his command on Cybertron is unclear...Transformers: Exiles

Games

Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)

Silverbolt was made Aerialbot leader despite his fear of heights, which displeased Air Raid. He, Jetfire and Air Raid were sent to disable Trypticon and eventually engaged the giant in a freefall battle over Cybertron. After Trypticon survived the fall, the Aerialbots arrived to assist the ground Autobots in battling him, but were swatted aside. Silverbolt's Aerialbot troops were armed with jet machine guns and X12 Scrapmakers in robot mode. However, they lacked armor in jet mode, and could be easily destroyed.
