Transformers feats/discussion

[grillmaster]

its so strong its sucking up and ripping apart entire buildings

 

[grillmaster]

its said to be city level, so i wonder how strong a magnet you need to destroy an entire city in one shot

 

[grillmaster]

reading Jhiaxus' ordering of the bombardment of Earth it implies the Twilight's sustained bombardment would have destroyed the whole planet

this is repeated later on, but as we know its initial shot completely obliterated San Francisco

follow up to this actually

Grimlock and Razorclaw can see the mushroom cloud from the Autobot base in the Nevada basin
Nevada is 334 miles (537 kilometers) from San Francisco in a direct line by air

 

[grillmaster]

Now the mushroom cloud is so far away from our viewers here that much of it is actually behind the curve of the Earth, so we must account for earth's curvature next
went with 7 meters as grimlock is slightly taller than optimus (6 meters)


The mushroom cloud from the first shot of the Twilight is thus slightly over 82.2 kilometers in height

as a comparison, the Tsar Bomba's mushroom cloud reached a height of 60-67 kilometers

 

[grillmaster]

note of course i dont think the height of the mushroom cloud is a good enough method to determine the power of the blast, so it would be better i assume to examine the actual destruction, but again we have no time frame so its kind of hard to do so

 

[grillmaster]

this is pretty fucking brutal though

 

[grillmaster]

oh huh how did i miss this

 

[grillmaster]

gah damn

 

[grillmaster]

the cloud of the explosion reaches out at a diameter of 2,889.9 kilometers (Round up to 2,890 for simplicity and because there could be more we dont see)

 

[grillmaster]

we dont get a shot of a crater sadly, but we know San Francisco got utterly obliterated
and it covers an area of roughly 47 square miles (7.728 miles in diameter)

 

[grillmaster]

this is pretty fucking brutal though

we see the entire golden gate bridge sent flying, which is pretty insane
edit: holy shit, looking at the previous page is that an ENTIRE SKYSCRAPER THAT GOT THROWN FROM THE CITY INTO THE AIR
the Golden Gate Bridge has a mass of about 382,000,000 kilograms, or 382,000 metric tons
(421,000 US tons) which is pretty impressive to see all blown away at once

 

[grillmaster]

i will assume for simplicity the shockwave was what hit the bridge (since we see the fireball consuming skyscrapers it must not have hit yet)
the golden gate bridge is 7 km from san francisco in a straight line flight

so the shockwave of the blast must have reached 14 km out in diameter over... again we dont know a timeframe, what timeframe to we default to when we dont know

 

[grillmaster]

wtf kind of pressure wave throws an entire skyscraper like 5-7 kilometers and its STILL GOING

 

[Paxton]

I kind of skimmed over all that you just said but regardless

cook more.

 

[grillmaster]

yeah i really should make a calc thread to put all this there, i dont wanna clog the thread with my math ramblings

i asked Thirteen's thoughts but he hasnt yet replied
i hope this stuff isnt too excessive, i dont think im an expert with the math but im trying and its just fun to do

In the Japanese version, A.I says that Blizzard Storm shoots ice particles at sound speed. The explosion is impressive, with Sky-byte surviving it.

It's T-AI. By the way, I got spoiled by Youtube that God Fire Convoy and Gigatron fights at Earth's core. That is already impressive.
Info on the Atomic Lungnut.

are you fucking kidding me star level shit in ANIMATED????
what is everyone in transformers star level

 

[grillmaster]

reveal the shield lugnut, reading up on tfwiki this is the first time ive noticed wtf the Punch of Kill Everything IS, lol growing up i unironically used to think his arm was just an actual nuclear bomb and thats how it worked
apparently in reveal the shield (and possibly animated itself) he generates a gravitational singularity for a brief moment that makes everything explode
edit: Vector Prime confirmed the Lugnuts share body types as well as identities, so i guess this is consistent across realities if you want to go there

The Solar Needle and the Star Harvester can drain the life of a star.

The Solar Needle and the Star Harvester can drain the life of a star.

the solar needle in g1 was going to make the sun explode and destroy the solar system (the galaxy according to the plot summary, and in the episode its implied the universe, but those last two are kind of absolutely absurd so i wouldnt go with them)
