You're thinking of Go-bots.
There were a few jets. My favorite was the rare Autobot Jetfire. GoBots had Leader One, an F-14 Tomcat. Megatron became Galvatron, a big ass Canon. Wow, I really need to grow up..... LOL, naaaaaaaaah.

Hasbro could no longer get the rights for the vw. Its believed because of the new Herbie that just came out (which sucked)

Megatron is a jet because of mass shifting. Think about the old show. How the hell did megatron TOWER humans, and then when in gun mode, he was small enough to fit in their hands. Something the movie had to deal with.

Soundwave will talk, just rumors stating he doesn't in this movie. There is big controversy over old voice actors vs new voice actors.

I also liked Wheeljack.
I think I still have them in a shoe box somewhere...
Something you might be interested in... They've created a new line called Alternators or Binaltech for the jap line.
Almost same names, and heads, but updated cars. Currently I have the whole collection  I'd post pics, but have no where to host.

Jetfire the toy was awesome, because it was stolen from the Robotech/Macross VF-1S, but Skyfire in the cartoon was pretty lame. Leader One in Go-Bots was an F-15, not a Tomcat.
I'm guessing on Megatron being a jet instead of a gun may have been done partially because of the mass-shifting wouldn't fly as well in a live action movie, as well as the new toy tie-ins may be tougher to sell as a handgun with all the legislation around toy guns since the G1 transformers came to market originally.

Skyfire, lame? 
I guess we differ 
What about wheeljack? Shockwave? Shockwave is indeed a gun, but he could transform into a giant weapon for the Decepticons and still pull it off well.. 
Thanks for sharing this info

I have faith...but i think i, like most fans, will compare it to the animated movie. And i don't think there will be one.
