Alright so I've recently noticed that we scale all the characters in the show to at least 7-A. This is bad and wrong.
The feat being used for this scaling is this one. Now, the first and most obvious problem with this is the massive inconsistency it presents with the rest of the verse. Simply put, the Transformers are not going around lugging mountain-busting weaponry, and you can see this by booting up literally any episode of the series. Specific examples of humans hurting Cybertronians or Cybertronian structures with no special powers attached also include but are not limited to the US Air Force blowing up Darkmount with regular, not even nuclear, missiles and the kids literally using an ordinary axe to damage Soundwave's tentacles.
Another issue is that Megatron does not qualify for the full rating of 7-A, let alone an "at least", because the explosions would've straight up killed him were it for the Dark Energon in his spark. This is a distinct plot point, and the only reason he lived past this (in a vegetative state I might add) is that he was instantly picked up by the Nemesis after Starscream pulled the Dark Energon shard out.
I think I've demonstrated amply why this rating is a complete bust, so I propose it get's changed to this by Ablobloobloo the Despunter. It's still a little bit high-balled I would say, but it's a far more agreeable compromise than what we have right now.
