It’s, like, you gotta do that thing where you find a cliff and catch the wind right and go FWOOF! (He pantomimes.) And then you glide around and you catch a thermal and you go SUPER-FWOOF (He pantomimes ON TIPPYTOE.) so you can go up REALLY high and not have to flap!
So yeah, like that!
He watches the little mech flail around before peeking over the edge. He understood how thermal pockets effected flight, but if he failed, it was a long way down. Risk had never stopped him before, and it wouldn’t now.
He spreads his wings to their full span and waits for the wind to feel right. Once is picks up, he runs straight off the edge, trusting the air currents to carry him.
Megatron has to adjust his wings a few times and lose a bit of altitude before gaining it, but it works, and he begins to glide, circling the ship. It’s so quiet without the roar of his own engine, nothing to hear but the wind whipping around his wings.
He’s caught between missing the noise and enjoying the stillness.
But how was he supposed to land?
