Transformers feats/discussion

Thundercracker flies into space for a short period of time, about a hundred thousand miles above the earth.

Cosmos traveled a distance of 5 light hours in 15 minutes.
Jetfire orbits the Earth approximately 5,000 miles above the surface.
 
All in all, the Bayverse human army used 6,000 degree sabot rounds against transformers: first through the heat to penetrate the armor (either deep or shallow), then exploded from the inside, and if there was an external explosion, it meant the armor was not penetrated (not every Bayformer armor will be penetrated by this weapon. If it doesn't penetrate the armor, the external explosion can only produce concussive damage, forming interference, but cannot form an obvious and effective kill).
 
Sorry this took so long to look at, been busy with work, family etc.

Megatron throughout the story absorbs the power of SARA.

With that, he got full control over SARA's power:


So I don't disagree with this necessarily, but I'm not sure it's enough to give Cloud Megatron billing beyond multiversal range as it's pretty clear in the story and quotes above he is conquering the worlds by going to them one by one. It reminds me a lot of how SG Ultra Magnus prompted the Shroud by collapsing one universes and rampaging across others, which was enough for Nexus to shut the whole thing down before it got worse. One of the things brought up early in Cloud is that the Decepticons are prohibited from travelling to other universes and collecting their excess spacetime energy, and above quotes highlight being able to use the dimension gates as a gamechanger for them.

Per the ending quote here, while SARA will allow Megatron access and power over universes, he needs to go back and alter the G1 world to truly control the multiverse (this story seems to operate on the idea that if you change G1 it could retroactively alter other worlds, while this doesn't match other TF stories very well, all the writers have different views on how the multiverse works so I don't really have an issue with this. For the sake of this story, this is how it may have worked here). However, I think the statements about SARA's power collapsing Cloud World are still really valuable here (and honestly something I had missed), it seems like SARA grants the power to travel to any reality and its misuse would result in their destruction, but not all at once.



According to SARA, Spacetime was said to be infinite.

SARA Megatron's powers would have turned the WHOLE multiverse into pure chaos:
This is kind of what I brought up earlier but there's a lot of future tense going on with Cloud. "Megatron will bring order" to the multiverse but we never see him do it even before Optimus starts accessing SARA power to fight back, and Megatron even admits he needs more than SARA to conquer the multiverse. SARA's powers in the story seem mostly related to supporting the existence of the Cloud Universe and allowing travel into the wider multiverse, but it doesn't seem like she has direct power over it in the same way something like Primus does.

For Optimus, he has the Matrix with him. Within inside of the Matrix, that what contains SARA's " unknown Dimension Mode power".
Even also in his bios it was said he can equip SARA's power:

It was said whoever grants SARA's powers can rival enemies like Unicron or Alternity Starscream.

SARA stablizes the Cloud World:
The scan with Unicron/SS just seems to say the Wreckers at some point fought Unicron and Alternity Starscream.

This is kind of a moot point since the Wreckers wouldn't be stronger than Dimension Mode Optimus though lol, so you could at least scale Optimus and Megatron? to Alternity Starscream

Also just for your ease of access, TFWiki's archive has hi-res scans of the Cloud manga pages


The Cloud World obtains energy from the multiverse:

It is important to note SARA's obtaining excess energy from throughout the multiverse, which the Autobots go out through the Dimension Gates and collect, which allows SARA to perpetually sustain Cloud World. I'm not sure it helps pin a power level much though it's useful for range.
According to Vector Prime, the Cloud Autobots were involved to fight off against Hytherion in the great Universe War, making them relative to the Alternity:

You know, I've read this quote like a half dozen times and it somehow never occurred to me use this to back up some of Cloud's more cosmic scaling. I'm not sure they should scale entirely to the Hytherion or something, but it's also clear they have the technology and power to stand their ground based on this. It's pretty clear cut here that they were able to stop universes from being consumed more than once. This is a good example of why it's great to get fresh eyes on things and go over stuff from different angles.
I think this is fine, it's very clear misuse of SARA's power will directly result in the destruction of Cloud world, and we have so many statements that universes in Transformers are infinite that it's unnecessary to even get into that further. I'm iffy on how far the Alternity scaling goes because we don't have much detail on how their fights against the Hytherion went, how they assisted etc. Because in Alternity for example we see even regular Transformers assist in the fights via using Alternity tech to assist, and Alternity Starscream wasn't part of a higher dimensional aggregate like Megatron and the other Alternity bots were so it's hard to know how far his scaling would benefit the Wreckers and Optimus/Megatron. The only major thing I recall is he has a variation of the Hytherion's time eating ability but I don't recall us seeing how powerful his was in the story
This would in theory give Cloud bots some resistance to his haxes though, as the Wreckers would need some way to survive his time eating and probability manipulation to fight him out of their timeline.

Given Alternity Starscream is dead now, I also assume lorewise this must mean Alternity Megatron sent SS at Cloud World at some point during the Alternity stories themselves?
Through amps, Optimus was amped by the Matrix and Megatron was amped by SARA, so they are probably around 1-B (Hyperversal) via SARA being Multiverse level and Megatron threatening to destroy the multiverse.
This I'm less convinced of as the multiverse wide threat of Megatron seems to be contingent on a number of conditions and is closer to a chain reaction sort of deal rather than netting him a raw tiering. Kind of reminds me of how the specifics in Cybertron/Galaxy Force don't really let the entire cast scale to the Grand Black Hole for example.

Anyhow, thank you for compiling and it's nice that someone else combed over Cloud
 
Thanks for the answer, I'll try eventually respond once i'm done working on a youtube video.
 
Well in the end he was going to destroy everything if he articulated the scopes of the main G1 world. This is pretty much a keyword that Megatron was threatened to end the multiverse which leads us directly to the final chapter since in Chapter 2-3, it does involve Dimensional gateaway and the decepticons didn't did anything but only stole SARA. Thing is at that point Megatron didn't had SARA at that time since the real thing was shown in the final chapter, normally these versions of the Autobots and decepticons do have SpaceTime Manipulation in them at base so rlly dosen't matter.
For the first points you made, I do agree on this though. For the second point, the Final chapter did brought back the "OG-01 Spacetime" which typically Megatron finished his job before he met Unicron which is why he knew Unicron existed across dimensions seeing as him granting the power over the multiverse and which is why he absorbs the FULL power of SARA which is his peak form and SARA was said to transcend spacetime in the EX Deadlock issue in Legends anyways:
I know he didn't destroyed any universes, but it was mainly because Optimus Prime defeated him at time and it was clear that both at the same time ascended to their Dimension Mode which was their full power and battled across multiple universes:
also we got the sheer fact that chapter 3 even says that collapsing the Cloud World would be a HUGE problem to the multiverse:
SARA herself even claims that Megatron would destroy everything since Megs was at full power:
Thank you so much for these mangas since I can't really find those lol. Yea I'll try going through these and find something interesting about these versions of Optimus and Megatron. Someone kinda did reached me this scan about Unicron and stuff in another wiki. I'll eventually try going through these and update you.

For the second point, well I know that helps from dimensional travelling which is why the Cloud Autobots were said to deal with "extra-dimensional threats". Pretty much it depends on context since normally Spacetime isn't energy, but rather just a singular continumn. Transformers was proven multiple times and plus confirmed in medias that spacetime does exist in each universe, so it does make sense for the scope of its scaling.

I mean yea it was unclear what happened and the AvP quote dosen't make sense A BIT since iirc the Alternity with the help of the Planicrons defeated Hytherion only.
Ehh fair nuff ig so. I mean technically they POSSIBLY have resistence over it, but the Cloud World only focuses on Spacetime or some sort of dimensional hax while the Alternity have like Acasuality or Casuality hax which makes them strong. I think Cloud can be stronger than them in Attack Potency wise.
Well the narrative does make it clear his threat can affect everything. Iirc some English sources even say Megatron of Cloud World was a multiversal threat along side others like Unicron, Megatronus or Hytherion etc.
Anyhow, thank you for compiling and it's nice that someone else combed over Cloud
Yea all good, when I found about this and read everything, I got all this in my mind that this could potentially be an Optimus and Megatron to match up against high tier or abstract beings. I think Hyperverse level makes sense for full power since its their peak.

Aside of that, thank you so much for answering. Its good to see atleast someone discussing about this lol.

also from what we can cover, SARA is still multiversal power anyways.
 
The size of the hub network connections are kinda iffy imo. In the last panel of the page below, you can see the Autobot ships next to the tubes. Unless the ships are meant to be the size of a country, then the tube is drawn small here.


The inside of the tubes also seem to be depicted pretty small here.



Galvatron has the best feat in the Regeneration One comic. However, Autobots don't seem to scale directly to him. Ultra Magnus covered behind Galvatron to survive the blast for example.



Regarding Autobots damaging Galvatron later on as well as Ultra Magnus killing him, when questioned, Simon Furman replied that he thinks that Galvatron was weakened after getting blasted and subsequently possesed by the Dark Matrix. So, arguably they don't scale to him when he took that big blast visible from space.

"Shame you didn’t like it. Lots of people did. It’s proving to be one of those divisive things. But… can’t please all the people all the time. In the end, it’s the conclusion I felt best drew a line under things. You can debate the likes of Galvatron back and forth, but that, in the end, is just your opinion. Mine is that he’d been blasted by a Warworld and possessed by the Dark Matrix, so he was no longer the unstoppable thing he once was. "

Albeit I will admit it is possible to scale Galvatron II to other characters in the original series (since he was defeated by Fortress Maximus).
 
In fact, the galvatron was already knocked out before the shot and they were lying next to each other, so Magnus would have scaled before that, and for the most part he would have taken part of it anyway.
 
Magnus was able to defeat Galvatron about twice, the first time was a short-term knockout, the second was when he regained his confidence.

The first knockout was because they fell off a highway tho, and it's unclear if he was actually knocked out. The second is likely because Galvatron was weakened according to Simon Furman.
 



Lmao the idea of merging all universes was a lie since Shockwave wanted Nova Prime to get killed. The real "Golden Age" was for Shockwave to use the Ores and destroying the main universe to feed Cybertron with infinite energy. Plus to make it worse, Nova Prime has no knowledge over the multiverse, so him merging "all universes" is implying to expand his domain in two universes in general seeing as hell how would Nova or Shockwave know how big is the multiverse anyways. From all we know, their idea of the multiverse is two universes.

Man IDW wank is getting handy, still don't know how people are using that "all universes" scan.
 
its so insane dude. These are such great comics and they already have nice feats but people always have to go overboard lol. Shockwave even directly explains he’s placing the universe in an endless loop for endless energy to Cybertron…but people took the circle in a circle statement to mean endless dimensions
 
I mean IDW TF's do have solid Universe+ to Low Multiverse stuff through D-Void's scaling and shit. I really love IDW so much since one of their comics are cool, but thing is people like wanking the absolute living shit out of it to like around Hyper-Outerversal.

Lmao thats just Shockwave creating an endless time loop with the help of the time drive, so Optimus and Megatron won't be "Outerverse". I also ecounter shit like people saying they are outer due to "optimus beating unicron in the in the final comic who was said to destroy the multiverse" which ignoring the fact IDW Unicron was a different being.
