Summary
Transformers is a franchise originating in 1984 containing numerous toylines, cartoons, animes, mangas, comics, text stories, video games, films, and OVAs. The plot usually revolves around the conflict between two races of robots, the Autobots and the Decepticons both from the planet Cybertron. As indicated by the name, they can transform into various alternate forms.
Transformers is a multiverse so thread creators should specify which version they're using. Transformers is an ever-expanding multiverse. Its cosmology divides its multiverse into various "universal clusters" which are themselves divided into numerous "universal streams" (countless divergences, timelines, etc.).
Major universal clusters:
- Primax—the Generation 1 continuity family. Points of commonality between universal streams in this cluster involve the forces of Optimus Prime and Megatron battling over the resources of Earth. It also includes the Beast Era, a possible future in which both factions evolve into the small and semi-organic Maximals and Predacons.
- Viron—the 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family, a small cluster in which Optimus Prime's Autobots combat Megatron's Predacons.
- Aurex—the Unicron Trilogy continuity family. In this cluster, the Autobots and Decepticons struggle over such power-boosting items as Mini-Cons and Cyber Planet Keys while also contending with the threat of Unicron.
- Tyran—the live-action movie continuity family, a violent cluster in which the search for the lost AllSpark brings the Autobots and Decepticons to Earth, and humanity becomes heavily involved in the conflict.
- Malgus—the Animated continuity family, a cluster in which the war has ended and Cybertron is at peace, and Optimus Prime's Autobots are superheroes on a near-future version of Earth.
- Uniend—the Aligned continuity family, a cluster where Cybertron was poisoned by Dark Energon and left uninhabitable for a long time by Megatron in his war against Optimus Prime. Although previously separate from the rest of the multiverse, its quantum membrane was recently punctured by the passage of the Dark Spark. Later events in this cluster's streams involve Bumblebee taking command of a small team of Autobots to fight Steeljaw.
Minor universal clusters:
- Fornax—the Kre-O continuity family, home to modular brick-built Transformers.
- Iocus—a cluster essentially made up of overlapping aspects of other clusters, it is home to forgettable side-merchandise like Hero Mashers, Bot Shots, Construct-Bots, Battle Masters, and Attacktix, populated by 'bots functionally indistinct from their counterparts elsewhere in the multiverse, giving the outward appearance of worlds in which characters from different universes exist side-by-side.
- Nexus—the technologically advanced cluster where the TransTech world of Axiom Nexus resides.
- Quadwal—the "real world", in which Transformers exist primarily as toys.
- Yayayarst—the Go-Bots continuity family, home to the Go-Bots of Botropolis.
Fringe universal clusters:
- Cymond—the continuity family of various TakaraTomy non-Transformers franchises, right on the border between the Multiverse and the wider Megaverse.
- Gargent—the GoBots continuity family, home to the Guardians and Renegades of Gobotron.
- Lukas—the Star Wars Transformers continuity family, where the Jedi battle the Sith using transforming mecha. This cluster is said to have "thin barriers", and overlaps with realities from elsewhere in the Omniverse.
- Rovio—the Angry Birds Transformers continuity family, a cluster where the dimensionally-displaced "EggSpark" accidentally changed the natives of Piggy Island into the Autobirds and Deceptihogs.
- Xobitor—the Robotix continuity family, home to the Protectons and Terrakors of Skalorr.
Within the multiverse 15,962,782 universal streams have been cataloged, according to the TransTech Cybertronians there are a more which haven’t been cataloged (59,927,225), and Bug Bite claimed that there are even more than that (more than 15 quadrillion). For the numerous catalogued universal streams, see here.
Power of the Verse
Due to the many universal streams of the Transformers franchise, the power often varies by a large margin. Below is an overview of the streams currently on the site.
The original Transformers cartoon has characters with Brown Dwarf level Attack Potency. Speed ranges from Subsonic movement speed and Massively FTL+ flight, reaction and combat speeds. The verse also contains a decent amount hax and abilities.
Calculations
- Soundwave survives the destruction of Paradon - 47.6 Exatons of TNT (Moon level)
- Galvatron destroys Thrull - 4.1 Ronnatons of TNT (Large Planet level+)
- Cybertron moves out of orbit - 7.3 Ronnatons of TNT (Large Planet level+)
- Power of the Orbital Disruptor Cannon - 323.4 Ronnatons of TNT (Brown Dwarf level)
While not nearly as impressive as the previously mentioned stream, these characters are still casually Town level in terms of Attack Potency, with speed ranging from Subsonic to Hypersonic. All of the characters in this verse can transform into animals from real life, such as dinosaurs, bugs, and mammals.
The IDW versions of the characters possess Multi-Continent level to Moon level+ Attack Potency. Mid tiers such as Functionist Primus reach Large Planet level via sheer size, while others like Unicron reach Solar System level. Top tiers include the D-Void at Universe level+. Regenesis Shockwave stands as the God tier of the verse, with Universe level+ Attack Potency, possibly even Low Complex Multiverse level. Speed stands at Subsonic+ movement speed, scaling from Optimus Prime, High Hypersonic to FTL+ flight speed and Massively FTL+ combat and reaction speed, scaling from Thundercracker, Cosmos and Sixshot. Numerous powers and abilities are collected between these Transformers, including Megatron's Antimatter Manipulation, Nova Prime's Death Manipulation, and wide variety of powers granted by Shockwave's Regenesis Ores.

The Devastation verse's cast sits at Island level, scaling from the explosion of the Ferrotaxxis. The verse scales to Massively Hypersonic speed from feats from Megatron and its characters being able to dodge lightning. The verse also has numerous powers and abilities that come from multiple boss fights and weaponry.
Calculations

Others still mainly range from Subsonic to Hypersonic to even Massively FTL+ flight speed. This verse does contain some impressive range of weapons and technology such as the Star Harvester or Sentinel Prime's Space Bridge.

The IDW movie comic counterparts are a big step up from their canon counterparts, with its cast ranging from Small City level+ to at least City level, as the main casts is able to cause or survive the destruction of entire cities. At its peak, the verse reaches Large Star level, likely even Solar System level. Speed wise, they scale between Subsonic to Supersonic+. The verse also generally has more abilities than their main canon counterparts.
Not that vastly different from their main movie counterparts, ranging from City Block level all the way to Multi-City Block level. These characters also have more hax abilities than their main movie counterparts, with characters such as Megatron gaining abilities and Life Manipulation and Technology Manipulation from the allspark. Or the Create-A-Bot and The Recruit with their shapeshifting abilities.

Transformers has some interesting multiversal beings, with these beings such as the Alternity, Hytherion and Vector Prime ranging around High Complex Multiverse level. Higher tiers such as Unicron and Primus reach Outerverse level. And at the peak, The One stands on top, as the God Tier of the entire franchise. Speed consists mainly of Immeasurable as many of these characters exist and can move beyond linear time. These characters also contain numerous versatile and potent abilities, such as Reality Warping, Space-Time Manipulation, Law Manipulation, Acausality and Causality Manipulation, Conceptual Manipulation, Higher-Dimensional Existence, and many more.
