Aight, next up on my journey to finish the Ark verse: Titans....
There's a lil bit that needs adjusting with the Titans currently, not a huge amount honestly but eh.

Ok, first off. An Upgrade!
So after the Overseer thread I realised that the Overseers are back to being the top tiers of the verse. Which didn't seem right for a variety of reasons.

Firstly, the Titans wiping out Humanity:
Throughout the story it is made abundantly clear what happened to Humanity, the Corruption took over and the Titans overpowered everything we had, forcing us to create an escape. Several actually...
  • First was the Ark Project, which are the same Arks we play the game on. The Arks were run by the Overseers in orbit, creating Survivors and forcing them through harsh environments to test them. Once they had overrun the bosses and taken out the Overseer they would be sent away to be tested again.
  • Next was the Genesis Program, which functioned very similarly to the Arks, but inside a simulation.
  • There was also the Homo-Deus, which were incorporeal beings in which Humans could escape to, living life "Behind a glass screen" these were essentially gods. But not...
  • Lastly was whatever the Ship in Genesis Part 2 is gonna be, seemingly carrying the remaining Human race, this ship seems to be a retreat from Earth in search for a new planet. But we don't know yet...
However, with Humanity gone, the Survivors on the Arks were forced to adapt. Eventually the Stations created Helena and the main cast of the Explorer notes, who would go through multiple Arks, eventually making their way back to Earth.

Later the cast would eventually go on to fight the King Titan, in the very first ever Mega Mek, created by Santiago.

This is the important part, Santiago creating the Mega Mek.
Santiago is a character originating from Modern Humanity in the series, and a scientist and engineer at that, he is well aware of how far Humanity came before being wiped out, and is more than aware of the Overseers. After all, he hacked into them just fine. As explained in Helena's Aberration Explorer Notes #15 to #16.

With all of this knowledge, Santiago still insisted that the Mega Mek was the "strongest combat vehicle that had been created", as shown in the Mega Mek's Dossier (Written by Santiago himself)
With this, the Overseer didn't impress him much, and he hacked into it with relative ease from an Obelisk. So I don't believe it's a stretch to assume the Mega Mek scales above the Overseer, as the Mega Mek was an intensive Project for Santiago during Extinction.
Another point would be that if Humanity had access to the Overseers and technology on this level beforehand, how would they have been overrun if the Titans were not on this level.
Also, for the record in the Mega Mek's dossier/manual, there is also a statement of shearing through mountains with its sword, which would also support this, granted I'm aware that cleaving through a mountain would not necessarily get mountain level.

Essentially, Santiago believes that the Mega Mek is the strongest weapon created, it should therefor logically scale above Overseers. Backed up by the fact that Humanity had Overseers when they were overrun by Titans.

This should just straight up scale to the Mega Mek and King Titan, and I believe a likely would be fine on the other Titans in this case, since they were still major threats to humanity too.
 
Basically the Meks, Ice Titan, Forest Titan, Desert Titan, and King Titan should scale above The Overseer. For the reasons below:
  • Santiago, someone with knowledge on Future Earth's Tech stated that the Mega Mek was the most powerful combat vehicle ever created.
  • The Titans in Ark annihilated humanity, who were able to make Overseers at the time.
  • The King Titan contended with and overpowered a Mega Mek in the story.
