But would Skyfire rather have a big Harrier on him or a mini-jet?

// Ready as I'll ever be. There is a latch just under my nosecone for ground towing; it should do. //

/ It looks like I can maintain this configuration until you are ready to land, Omega Supreme. I am taking my jets offline until then; that should allow me enough maneuverability to land properly... although I have doubts about my landing gear. //

Some hours later...
// My charts say we should be quite close--that city near the coast? Omega, give me a five-minute warning to get my jets fully online and up to power before you start the count-down to drop the tow line. Skyblast, will you be able to retrieve the towline from Omega Supreme and detach it from my nose before landing? //
// That, and where am I landing? //

//We've set up a runway for you, Skyfire. Got makeshift mirrors to act as signals to help guide you in.//

// Slingshot, I'm following you in. //
// Omega Supreme, my jets are hot and I am applying power. //
// Skyblast, prepare to unlatch the towline //

// Please advise on the giant-robo-dragon-thing that is incoming! I can't dodge him! // Skyfire sounds slightly panicked for the first time in a very trying day.

//Don't try. He's ours, and you'd have to be going a lot faster than you are to seriously hurt him. Nuts as it sounds, he's trying to soften your landing, and if anyone here's strong enough and tough enough to manage it, it's Grimlock.//
Not to mention it takes a 'special' type of mechanoid to be dumb enough to try a stunt like this, but Kup stands by his statement about how hard it is to seriously hurt the Dinobot Commander.
