Why don't they fly?

While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying,
"Why, oh why?"
-- Tool "Vicarious"
I was just browsing through the Yahoo Widget Gallery when I happened upon this movie hub widget for the new live action Transformers movie due out summer '07. I had no idea there was a new Transformers movie coming out much less that it would be live action. Yeah, LIVE ACTION as in with real people and undoubtedly CGI'ed all to hell. First off, its the Transformers, they just can't be live anything. They're freakin robots! And here's something that bothers me (and I was astounded when Thing One brought this up), why don't they just fly?! The Autobots can fly in robot mode but not in car mode. Yet, when the Earth opens up beneath them they fall? The same thing happens in Dragon Ball Z. Well, looking at the rummored cast it looks like it aught to be interesting at least.

I've been listening to the new Tool album (W) 10,000 Days and while I think it is very good, it is very reminiscent of their earlier works. It rocks pretty hard but doesn't seem to take the chances the band is known for. 10,000 days does not feel nearly as progressive as previous albums but I suspect it will be spinning in my player for quite some time.
