Profile revamps:
So starting off, I've got two new profiles. First is a redo of Soundwave's profile and a new profile for Rom.
Soundwave new profile (Full redo. Better P&A, justifications and a better looking profile overall)
Rom new profile
Attack Potency upgrades:
Now with the upgrades, as listed in his profile, Rom at his base level, alongside two other knights are capable of destroying a planet, which would place him at Low 5-B. This is important several characters within High 6-A such as Starscream and the coneheads (Who are basically fodder among the Decepticon ranks) are capable of fighting against Rom and the other knights, as shown in Rom vs. Transformers: Shining Armor #3 and 4. Several characters like Soundwave upscale from Starscream above and others like Rodimus and Prowl scale to Thundercracker and Skywarp, who should be equal to Starscream by them being made of the same body. That and we also do characters like Arcee being able to harm base Rom.
TL;DR all High 6-As becomes Low 5-B.
Now for High 5-A. Contextually speaking, Rom doesn't regularly really reach this level of power because doing so drains his energy faster, and Rom primarily does so when he's seeking to annihilate a planet, which as stated in Rom's AP section is a pretty consistent thing for knights to do as a last resort. While this means the aforementioned High 6-A characters wouldn't scale to this, the 5-B do and it's because of Baron Karza.
Baron Karza's whole gimmick is that he essentially absorbs the powers of others, combining it with his own. In Wrath of Karza issue 1 and 3, Karza absorbs the power of Micronus Prime and sees it as enough for him to conquer all of Earth's forces, Karza makes it a point that this new power is "godlike" and it begins to have profound effects on his mental state, something Karza never notes in comparison to other characters he's absorbed like a Dire Wraith or Rom, as seen in Rom and the Micronauts and especially issue 5, where Baron controls the entirety of Rom's body, so he should be very familiar with how far Rom goes in power. Adding on to this was Karza's uncertainty on how absorbing Micronus would go when he had no such problem with Rom. All this goes to show that Micronus Prime would be superior to Rom at his peak. This is important because Optimus is capable of holding his own against a Micronus amped Karza in Wrath of Karza issue 5, with him being the only one to do anything substantial to him. While Karza does defeat Optimus in issue 1, Optimus was caught off guard in that first fight, and while still weaker, Optimus being able to hold his own and even stop a fist should means he would downscale from karza anyway.
TL;DR all 5-Bs become High 5-A
Lifting Strength upgrade
This calc of Thundercracker holding up the Capitol Records building has been accepted and pretty much anyone scaling off of Class K becomes Class M.
