If they could, they probably wouldn't have been piling on each other to get to the Judges when Grimlock demanded it of them (in the movie).
Then again... they are incredibly stupid, so probably could fly but just don't know it.

There were Sharkticons floating down to Junk in the comic book adaptation of the cartoon episode "The Big Broadcast of 2006". Not sure if that counts as "flying" though.

What are the chances G1 cartoon Skyfire infringes on Macross copyrights? I'd love to see a cartoon accurate MP Skyfire but I'm unsure if that's even a legal possibility.

Actually its the other way around. Skyfire was created because the toy (Jetfire) would infringe Macross copyrights.
So a Cartoon accurate MP Skyfire is always possible my friend :)

Outside of G1, probably Waspinator.
Ravage rates an honourable mention too, as does Omega Supreme.

I came up with the question after looking at pictures of Shockwave, since he's almost always a horned cyclops without much of a face, but I was wondering if I missed someone else.

Yes, but it can be very tricky, as you have a "hotdog" shaped plastic tab that the turret slots onto and locks onto it by turning it around to face the front. It's hard to explain, but once you get it off, it makes sense.

If you are trying to get it off, turn the tank turret 90 degrees so that it's barrel is facing to one side instead of the front, and wiggle it around a little to see if it pops off. If that doesn't work, keep rotating the turret clockwise or anti-clockwise with constant careful wiggling, as the plastic tab may have moved off its 90 degree setting (it is just screwed in, and the screw can move if someone was rough with the tank turret... like with my first Blitzwing as a kid).
