so idw had a few recurring plotlines surrounding this thing called the Dead Universe which is exactly what it sounded like
the wank stemmed from either misunderstanding a few pages from the related arcs or deliberately misconstruing them to boost certain characters.
For example “Nova Prime channeled the Dead Universe energy in Revelation to attack Optimus. This means Optimus tanked a universal attack.”
Well no, because this exact arc makes it clear the Dead Universe can only kill the main one if barriers are weakened enough for it to cross over. Nova does the force lightning shit after that plan fails, meaning whatever power he is channeling isn’t universe busting at all as that’s not something the Dead Universe can do without help to get to the main one.
The other examples are similar, Shockwave has a universal feat (which required significant prep time and equipment) and people scale that to Optimus and Megatron because they took hits from him…even though Shockwave’s reality warping time drive has nothing to do with his raw strength, and we see his glancing shots do little more than damage the cave they’re all sitting in.
The only one even remotely debatable is right before Nova Prime dies he allegedly had control of the Dead Universe, but he couldn’t do shit with it offensively. You could handwave it if it was just against Optimus, since he’s special, but Rodimus, Kup, Nightbeat etc were all there and he couldn’t do anything to them. This is one of those rare cases where “can’t be used in a practical way” really would apply, as there’s just no showings supporting him using that strength against Prime.
Micronus Prime did create a universe but it’s explicitly a microscopic pocket universe and the Entropy Cloud affecting it was revealed to just be a weird form of temporal BFR. So I don’t see what good this does anyone.
Basically there are two solid universal/possibly low multiversal IDW Transformers characters, but the way they work means you can’t scale them to anybody else. It’s just that TF feats require a fuckton of context to not get messed up. The only really legitimate thing is the Matrix killed the Dead Universe, so it would be universal (though again, context is needed and Matrices have weird mechanics) but you can’t scale it to anybody but like…maybe Rung, who is also God (but forgot he was)
Apparently they are going to give 6 Yottatons to the destruction of planet Vegeta.

RIP Seiya vs Moon
And hello Seiya vs Shazam.
As if he-man ain't thereAnd hello Seiya vs Shazam.
True, but lets be honest, unless they put Seiya up against Goku(lol, please no), their best bet to judge how well a series like Saint Seiya would do, using its main character, would be against a comic character. And the only char I've seen thrown around consistently for Seiya, is Shazam.As if he-man ain't there

Let's hope Seiya gets those multiversal feats in against Zeus so they can't pull anything
Just realistically Seiya vs Moon has better choreography, more forms to use, etc. While Seiya wins deceivingly they're not throwing the strongest magical girl in anime against Moon at least
Tbh I wouldn't say Moon vs Seiya is out of the count yet Madokamoon ain't getting far and gonna get swept by Grumind
I get what you mean, but I kind of suspect they aren’t just going to forget about the matchups that don’t win the entire tournament, but still manage to win the first one or two polls they’re in. Them managing to do even that well, is a big sign of the matchup’s popularity after all.
Like if Korosensei has a Deathbattle in the future it’s pretty safe to say Monokuma is locked in as his most likely opponent. If they turned around and instead did Korosensei vs Lord Death from Soul Eater it might leave all the people who voted for Korokuma feeling a bit cheated.
At this point I think the best chance for Seiya vs Moon to still happen is if Moon vs Madoka (when/if happens down the line) has such a big view count it makes them want to bring Usagi back as a returning character.
Madoka vs Sailor Moon won 
Next round
Next round
I’d really like to see Fate in Deathbattle. So Luke vs Saber would be my first pick.Madoka vs Sailor Moon won
Next round
Wile. E Coyote vs Tom and Sackboy vs Maxwell are both great. I'd be cool with either so I guess they're tied for second for me.
Toothless and Hiccup vs Hiro and Baymax is the one i'd be least interested in. Mostly because I think Disney's Big Hero Six is one of their lesser animated movies (I hate how they turned a guy who could turn into a kaiju in his source material into a guy in a lame small Kaiju outfit with their "Fredzilla").

Wait! Didn't KI get some significant upgrades? Or that doesn't apply to Spinal?That speed advantage is NOT gonna save Spinal here, I'll tell you that much
