Merry Christmas. This is moreorless just more updates for IDW. Some upgrades and some downgrades. Thanks to Dark-Carioca for some of these calcs.

Profile reworks

Here are the reworks of the D-Void and Nova Prime, I'll outline the main changes for their ratings below:



D-Void

This one isn't too hard I hope. Basically, the D-Void's whole plan was to consume the main universe, and merge it with itself The Transformers (2009) #30. That alone should be a 2-C feat as we know that the D-Void had the AP necessary for it's goal, but it's main problem was that it lacked the range to travel itself to other universes.

As such, the D-Void should be 2-C. The Matrix of Leadership should scale to this considering it destroyed the D-Void.

Nova Prime

So some big problems with this.

The main problem with this is that it is stated that the Dead Universe grows smaller and smaller due to D-Void being dead Dark Cybertron Chapter 2. And that Nova Prime's control of the Dead Universe comes from the Dead Universe shrinking Dark Cybertron Chapter 6. The smaller it gets, the more Nova's control grows. So that disqualifies the feat from being Low 2-C.

While we don't have a stated number as to how small the Dead universe has shrunk, we do at least see two spiral galaxies in the background as well as a huge ton of stars Dark Cybertron Chapter 7, so bare minimum, this would downgrade Nova's control of the dead Universe to 3-B.

Removal of High 6-A, likely 5-C, and upgrade to 5-B

This one is just pretty arbitrary, and that nothing really shows that the planet will reform after it's destruction, and if Brainstorm's statement is anything to go by, he more than likely means that half of the planet is entirely getting obliterated entirely, given he's the science guy.

Secondly. The calc assumes 90 percent hollowness since we had no idea how hollow Necroworld is. But now we have a proper answer. In Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #50, the RodPod is teleported to the center of Necroworld, and Megatron states that the distance between them and the planet's inner surface is 3000 miles, making Necroworld's hollow innards to be 6000 miles in diameter, or 9656.064 km.

With those new numbers in mind, this places destruction of half of Necroworld at 676.3781477055526 zettatons or Planet level, anyone who scales to High 6-A, likely 5-C should be 5-B.

Megatron's Full Armor

Not too complex. The Decepti-God has a statement of having the ability to shatter a world Transformers: Robots in Disguise #21. In context, they were on Cybertron and the D-Void's main goal was to destroy Cybertron so that it could enter the main universe. Megatron with his Full Armor was able to defeat it, and thus, he scales.

Cybertron's GBE stands at Planet level+. Meaning the D-Void and Megatron with his Full Armor should be Planet level+.

Removing Shockwave's possibly Low 1-C

Ok, so while its reasoning may seem pretty reasonable at first, it's pretty fault once you get into the context of the story.

- Firstly, it's well established that Shockwave was manipulating Nova Prime in order to take away Nova Prime's control over the dead universe Dark Cybertron Chapter 10, so Shockwave's plan of "merging all universes into one" is very likely a complete lie. Nova has been shown to be particularly obsessed with spreading his dominion over everything, so this is in line with what he would believe.

- Both Nova Prime and Shockwave are only aware of the living universe and the dead universe. There's nothing for us to assume they would be referring to alternate timelines, as neither of them have ever been shown to have knowledge of them up to that point.

- And when we do see Shockwave's actual plan unfold, the only thing explicitly shown to be collapsing was all of space-time itself, nothing remotely close to multiversal destruction is ever shown, with Shockwave explicitly mentioning only the universe itself Dark Cybertron Chapter 10.

TL;DR, remove possibly Low 1-C.

Unicron upgrade (kinda)


This one is pretty straightforward. In a vision of the future, it was shown that Unicron had devoured all of time and space, with the words here being "There isn't any time here, no time left at all" Transformers vs Visionaries #5. This, and Unicron has several statements of being to threaten the Universe.


This should warrant him an upgrade to Low 2-C right? Well, not exactly.

The way Unicron functions is that the more he consumes, the stronger he gets, as highly implied by Skyfire in this statement in Transformers: Unicron #5:
As well as stated in Issue 0:
And as we're shown in the comic, Unicron travels from world to world, destroying them one by one to make himself more powerful. With this in mind, it's reasonable to assume that Unicron threatening and eventually devouring Unicron happened via:

  • Him slowly destroying the universe by travelling from one place to another
  • The version of him that eventually did destroy time and space is a much stronger Unicron than the one we see in the comic.

With this, I think the most appropriate rating would be
At least Solar System level, would eventually become Universe level+ through Absorption (Unicron grows stronger everytime he consumes worlds or stars. In a possible future, Unicron would eventually devour time and space itself. Unicron has also been stated multiple times to threaten the universe had he not been stopped)

Class P LS upgrade

So we already know Trypticon is At least Class P coming from him and Metroplex being able to physically ragdoll each other, both of which are fairly similar in mass.

Devastator was capable of holding himself against Trypticon's jaw for an extended amount of time, and was able to block a tail swing from Trypticon The Transformers: Salvation. And Megatron was capable of lifting against one of the Devastator's own punches The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #10. So these two would pretty much downscale to "At most Class P". Anyone around their level should have their Class M upgraded to At most Class P.

Some scaling changes

Ok, so Arcee's current rating fairly faulty. For starters, most of her feats against Galvatron, who she currently scales to, mainly rely on harming The Transformers (2014) #52 him with her swords The Transformers (2014) #55. Without it, she's consistently shown The Transformers (2014) #52 to be physically overpowered The Transformers (2014) #37. The two times she did overpower, Galvatron was pretty clearly The Transformers (2014) #37 holding back against her as he was looking to chat. This isn't helped by Arcee being almost one-shot by Brawl The Transformers (2014) #49, whom Galvatron considers to be a joke The Transformers (2014) #52. As well as a grenade knocking her out, the same grenade which only stuns Magnus for a few moments Transformers: Spotlight: Arcee.

As for her other scaling:

Her new rating would be:
At least Multi-Continent level (Can harm those who can harm her. Harmed Rom, who can harm Soundwave and a version of Ultra Magnus. As Prowl's own assassin, should be more powerful than he is. Easily tackled Prowl into a building. Considered to be particularly dangerous by Sideswipe. Was Fortress Maximus last resort for Garrus 9's defenses, despite the former being almost as strong as Ultra Magnus), likely higher (Made Galvatron bleed, albeit Galvatron wasn't trying to fight back). Planet level with Swords (Capable of harming Galvatron with her own swords)

I do have plans for more rescaling, however they will have to wait as I'll get them done when I revise the other lesser profiles. That's all I have for now folks. Happy Holidays.

Good! I agree. Also you should also change Ultra Magnus' profile since the part Starscream kinda staggers Stealth Bomber Megs was kinda outlier since iirc Megatron took no damage.

Also if Optimus erased D-Void with the Matrix, does it mean he will be back to 2-C?
 
Dvoid and Matrix of Leadership

It had been a while since I've read the 2005 IDW stuff but here's my 2 cents:

D-Void being 2-C makes sense, the Matrix doesn't, wouldn't that basically be the same thing as the G1 cartoon where its just EE?

Nova Prime

I can't see the Spiral galaxies in that panel, just a very stary sky

5-B upgrade

Makes sense

Megatron Full Armor

Considering Megs is portrayed as much stronger then before I don't mind this

Removing Shockwave's possibly Low 1-C

Sure

Unicron upgrade (kinda)

I would add a "possible" rating, akin to "At least Solar System level, would possibly eventually become Universe level+ through Absorption". Threats to the Universe are vague at most, the only thing that really supports Low 2-C is that comment about time, but given the context it could mean a lot of things, a loooot of things. I'll also note that the Universe is mostly empty space, consuming all the matter within it wouldn't warrant 3-A as well, maybe not exactly meaningful here but worth noting when facing this type of characters

Class P LS upgrade

Works to me

Some scaling changes

If you ask me that's just the nature of inconsistent scaling that comes with a series having multiple writers, but profiles within the wiki rarely take that into account so I don't disagree with this

Yes and no. Mainly because we give ratings to hax potency, especially once it starts affecting characters in Tier 2 and above.

These are what I'm referring. I think they look similar to spiral galaxies? If it ain't, then I suppose 4-A is fine.

Fair enough. Though do you feel "potentially" work better in this scenario?

I don't think so, since Arcee doesn't have much insistences of overpowering a serious Galvatron physically. Most of her fights involve her with swords.
 
Yeah, I've never been too big on assuming Shockwave planned to absorb the whole multiversal cluster.

I'm neutral on the Arcee downgrade and Planet level/Planet level+ upgrades, but everything else is perfectly fine.

"At least 4-A, potentiall 3-B" then? IDK, I personally don't like that artist that much and its kinda hard to differentiate those from just more bright stars
Fair enough. Though do you feel "potentially" work better in this scenario?
Anything that doesn't fully envolve slapping a Low 2-C rating there with certainty works in my book, peeps these days take Flowery language way too seriously sometimes
Yes and no. Mainly because we give ratings to hax potency, especially once it starts affecting characters in Tier 2 and above.
Even to things that would naturally bypass those ratings, such as EE?

Ig 4-A would be more suitable then, though I'd like to hear if anyone else has anything to say.
 
Ok I did had a bit of a disagreement about the Nova Prime thing. If the Dead Universe was shrinking, wasn't shrinking infinitely sized universe is like still infinite or smth.

There's nothing that shows that the Dea Universe is infinitely sized to begin with, unless you've got a statement for that.

Plus the fact that the dead universe did end up contracting not long after shows that it was finite when Nova Prime was controlling it.

well each universe in TF IS infinite so it would make sense for it to scale off to the dead universe

send that scan where it says after it was contracting it was finite.
