Transformers feats/discussion

only just now thought this from watching that scene again in the clip lol but Vector says maybe combining the power of Rhisling and the Omega Lock will be enough to destroy the Armor of Unicron (he was right but Megatron returns as a ghost which is a whole thing in of itself)

maybe????

i do really like that optimus mourns how megatron used to at least seem to care about the men under his command, but after his repeated death and return, he's lost concern for all save his endless quest for power
 
so i felt kind of dumb realizing only recently thanks to this thread that the bayverse Decepticons are specifically vulnerable to high heat rounds as it interacts with their armors regeneration, and not just any random weaponry lol

i am sorry bayformers bros


but as help, i did some googling

Modern Anti-Tank Ammunition - The Canadian Tank Museum

(Note: There are a large number of different types of tank ammunition. This article focuses only on Anti Tank ammuntion. Anti Infantry (Canister, HE) and anti bunker/material (HE, MPATs, ARM) are not covered in this article.) During and after the Cold War, anti-tank ammunition fell into two...

The basic design element of the HEAT round is the Munroe or Neuman effect. This states that a conical hollow in the forward end of an explosive will greatly increase the penetration effect. This works by concentrating the explosive force into a jet of force along the axis of the hollowed area. A thin sheath of copper (or other materials but copper is most prevalent) can be added and the plasma jet formed by the copper will move at 14 km/s and reach a temperature of 925C. This can penetrate more than seven to ten times the diameter of the charge in hardened steel armour.

so a HEAT sabot round (High Explosive Anti Tank) reaches temperatures of 925 C, or 1697 degrees fahrenheit, focused as a small plasma jet

though, my research yielded that sabot rounds are more complicated than just being ultra hot, and there may have simply been some confusion here
most irl sabot rounds dont burn at "6000 degrees", though it is noted as a magnesium burn, so i can only assume these are some sort of fictionalized ammunition
though magnesium actually burns at 5600 degrees F or 3100 C from my research

though, is worth noting i believe that this energy is focused, which i believe is more interesting, if we can find out how focused this would be (maybe examining the wounds on scorponoks tail? if theres anything there thats the first place id check) could sort of find the upper limit for the durability of cybertronian armor in say joules/square or cubic cm (how much energy it can stand before being destroyed)

In Dreamwave, the matrix of leadership directly improves its bearer, giving him strength and wisdom, while since the matrix is the source of all sparks, when transformers die they are sent to the matrix, increasing its strength, as well as experience and wisdom.

A later model of the photon burst rifle was still available later in the war during the time leading up to the launch of the Ark. Fall of Cybertron

  • This weapon has the following base in-game stats:
    • Damage: 5
    • Range: 7
    • Accuracy: 8
    • Rate of Fire: 3
  • This weapon can be modified in multiplayer/escalation with the following upgrades:
    • Ion Cartridge - Increases the amount of ammo within a clip
    • Hyper Interlink - Speeds up reload time
    • Tachyon Transmitter - Increases foot speed while in fine aim mode
    • Photon Accelerator - enables auto-fire by decreasing the time between bursts

tfwiki has weapon stats for some of the weapons in the cybertron games, including rate of fire
i wish i knew for sure if these stats are based on anything but i think theyre neat regardless
 
i wish someone would or could examine the models from the ps2 armada game, i always wanted to know how tall Tidal Wave is
i think i saw somewhere it was stated hes 300 meters or 1000 feet tall


also would make it easier to measure megatrons crazy ass piledriver move lol
 
Monstructor can fly from star to star, his aura alone is capable of decomposing all living things, has fields that suck out the life force of the enemy, making its owner stronger.

also of note, Cyclonus's bio here, noting he can draw upon infinite power through a transwarp link to... somewhere :mjpls

this is a direct reference to his and Galvatron's original TF Universe bios
CYCLONUS

ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: SABOTEUR
FIRST APPEARANCE: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE # 1

"Compassion is the Autobots' downfall."

Profile: Cyclonus is a huge and emotionless air-warrior metamorphosized from parts of dead Decepticons and remnants by Unicron. Like Galvatron, he derives vast resources of power and energy through Unicron and so can draw on strength in direct proportion to its need - always being able to become stronger than his opponents because of his access to the infinite reservoir of power that Unicron represents. A dedicated destructor, Cyclonus transforms into a gigantic multi-engine (and perhaps multi-wing) jet fighter. His firepower remains intact and is augmented by an incendiary bomb rack. Cyclonus is capable of an additional transformation, trimming his wings and tail back to assume a space-worthy rocket mode for interstellar pursuit and warfare. He has no personality, no interests other than conquests for the sake of Unicron, and no weakness.

Abilities: In jet fighter mode, Cyclonus is equipped with nuclear-powered turbine engines which enable him to reach speeds greater than Mach 2. In robot mode, he carries an oxidating laser that fuses an enemy robot's internal mechanisms.

GALVATRON

ALLEGIANCE: DECEPTICON
FUNCTION: DECEPTICON CITY COMMANDER
FIRST APPEARANCE: THE TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE # 1

"My power is everything; defeat is absurd!"

Profile: Galvatron is the new name and identity for Megatron when his remains are metamorphosized by Unicron. Galvatron is Megatron to the ultimate degree, more evil, more powerful, and even less subject to emotion or decency. Through the powers of Unicron, Galvatron's own powers are augmented continuously so that his strength becomes so vast that his arrogance and confidence are boundless. As long as Unicron exists, Galvatron is invincible, but Galvatron's conceit and greed for dominance are so great he even plots against Unicron and hopes to retain his new might without him.

Abilities: He possesses enough strength to pulverize an Autobot into scrap metal. In robot mode, he carries a laser that emits chemically-produced, direct-current electricity.

i had originally interpreted this sort of like the Androids in DBZ, where they have infinite stamina and can't get tired (which would fit their role as Unicron's huntsmen), but the original text just straight up says the Heralds can just get stronger forever and ever apparently :skully
so long as they serve Unicron, presumably (and as long as he is not destroyed)
 
Animated Cyclonus's bio is more of note because it straight up says he can draw this power through transwarp, presumably from... whenever he came from (and presumably, from Unicron)

so he can draw power from Unicron from the future, which while the og bios do not directly say this, singularity Unicron should also have this power

edit: being able to empower his troops from across timelines, i mean, so multiversal range, which we already knew he had but it helps to have confirmation he can do this with it

especially because before AVP existed this was already a thing. Roberts and Barber deliberately tried to keep Unicron and Primus out of IDW when they first came in in 2012ish. You had stuff like Devil's Due Unicron being some weird alien with an organic brain that clearly wasn't tied to the other stuff Furman wrote.
