The Iron Giant's Energy Cannon Feat:
A remastered and extended cut of the Iron Giant film, named the Signature Edition, was shown in one-off screenings across the United States and Canada on September 30, 2015, and October 4, 2015.
Ken Duncan, head of studio was interviewed about the new animation included in the signature edition of the film and made comments about the iron giant scene.
These statements not only confirm that the scene giant projected onto the TV was actual information that the giant remembered and knew, but that it was it's way of trying to explain his "story", even if it was abstract to a small extent."I would love to, but all I can tell you is that there is a sequence between Dean and Annie, which is very short but adds an extra dimension to their characters. And there is another one involving the Iron Giant’s dream, where you find out some more information about the Giant. as well."
"Actually, there’s a bit of abstraction in the Iron Giant’s dream sequence, and I think Brad cool with that. But the one between Annie and Dean is kind of obvious, in terms of how it works into the story. But he tried to explain to us, as far as how it works from a character standpoint, and within the story itself."
Counterarguments
"Ken said that the dream had a bit of abstraction, so how do we know this isn't just a metaphor for him being dangerous or something."
The key words are "bit of abstraction", he's already said that the dream outright has information and that this is Giants way of relaying his story.
"Iron Giant himself is not that strong, it was a shared feat."
Yes, it indeed was.
The energy required to destroy the Earth w/ Violet fragmentation is 7.4727e+28 Joules (1.083e+27 cm3 * 69(J/cm3)
Even though the screen visibly shows about 13 giants, lets assume there's an army of at least 100 for a lower value anyways, and splitting it between 100 giants would be 7.4727e+26 Joules
With this being said, I think the Iron Giant's Attack Potency & Tier should be Upgraded to the following:
Tier:8-B, Likely High 6-A with Energy Cannon
City Block level (Able to vaporise a tank), Likely Multi Continent level with Energy Cannon (Should be as strong as the other giants, all of which together can destroy something similar to Earth)
