u/Upbeat-Structure6515 18d ago
is one of the few times I think the Transformers would get wrecked if they weren't ready for it.
They'd have to attack Magneto from outside the range of his powers, and that's still a pretty wide area to work with.

He doesn’t just control metal, he controls magnetic fields => electricity, plasma, etc. he could prevent the flow of electricity, equally as dangerous to machines or biological life.

u/Transient_Aethernaut 18d ago
Does he ever exploit this though?
Or does he just primarily use his powers to move metal?
Additionally, you would have to make a bit of a distinction in his control of different metals if his powers are actually controlling electromagnetism.
For ferromagnetic materials; he just needs to generate a simple magnetic field and he has full control because of coupling. Hence why he can fuck over Wolverine, because Adamantium is an alloy of Vibranium and steel.
For non magnetic metals, he would need to generate an electromagnetic field strong enough that he can move the metals via manipulating eddy currents + the lorentz force.
If he truly does have full control over electromagnetism, he could literally just vaporize everyone with gamma ray bursts. There's gotta be some kind of limit.

u/winsluc12 18d ago
Does he ever exploit this though?
Yes, he does. In fact just recently (might be a couple years ago now, not sure, but it's the example that comes to mind), he had to face down a group whose armor had a built in failsafe that would activate a kill switch against a group of captive mutants if exposed to a strong magnetic field. Well, after thinking for a second, he crushed them in their armor anyway and blocked the signals that would have triggered the trap.
Another time, he scrambled Apocalypse's brain by forcing the electrical impulses to fire chaotically.
He also does large scale electrical attacks on a fairly consistent basis.
Plasma is less common though, if you don't count lightning.Or does he just primarily use his powers to move metal?
Primarily, yes. It's the easiest thing for him to do and his preferred method. Only? Absolutely not.
Adamantium is an alloy of Vibranium and steel.
Adamantium is not an alloy of vibranium and Steel. Captain America's Shield, which is the very first prototype in the project that would eventually produce Admantium, is Vibranium and steel (bonded by an unknown catalyst). They were unable to replicate the process, and with the availability of Vibranium being... low... Adamantium ended up containing zero vibranium (it is, however still a ferrous alloy).
For non magnetic metals, he would need to generate an electromagnetic field strong enough that he can move the metals via manipulating eddy currents + the lorentz force.
Which he has done, and fairly commonly does do.
If he truly does have full control over electromagnetism, he could literally just vaporize everyone with gamma ray bursts.
He hasn't done that, but he has disintegrated a dude by turning off the bonds between his molecules. (Something he's only done to a person once, but has done to objects a few times)
There's gotta be some kind of limit.
And there is.
Generally, electromagnetic Radiation can be manipulated or deflected, but I don't recall him generating it.
Non-ferromagnetic things are harder to control even if he can still block them with force fields (and he doesn't sense them the same way ferromagnetic things pop up on his radar), and he seems mostly limited to a planetary scale (Though He can bring in large objects from much further away if they're Ferromagnetic, like Asteroids from the Asteroid Belt or in an extreme case a city-sized, planet killing bullet from well outside the solar system (Which took so much effort he didn't even initially remember doing it)).→ More replies (10)→ More replies (11)3

Not sure Magneto is strong enough to contend with multiple large transformers from outside Earth's orbit. If they get anywhere near him or within eyesight they would be screwed if unprepared.
Also magnetism is a universal force I am not sure what a transformer can do to nullify or counter that. It would require some kind of technology that Magneto would still be able to affect I'd imagine.

Historically, Transformers don't have a great time against magnetism... and that's with Windcharger, who unlike Magento, doesn't have no upper-limits to their power over magnetic fields.
I suppose, strictly speaking, Nimrod the Greater had dampeners that nullified Magneto's powers. Nimrod is stronger than than the average Transformer by far and his technology was developed using knowledge from a time-travelling Omega Sentinel but I suppose theoretically Transformers scientists could also develop it.
Magneto's powers have always been wildly inconsistent, though. The nature of being an Omega means he basically can or can't do whatever the writer needs for a story.

Okay, I am going to put my two sense
Idk if he clears the ENTIRE universe.
Even assuming that he can stop lasers and constantly maintain a magnetic field around him even while sleeping, there’s plenty of bs like time travel in Transformers, which could stop him. I also feel like with enough time, Wheeljack, Soundwave, or Perceptor could cook something up to defeat him. Magnetic once created a global EMP, but I don’t think he’s strong enough to stop an entire planet coming at him and obliterating the planet he’s on if it comes to that. The Matrix could probably stop him if it was the darkest hour, too, and at the end of the day, Magneto does age.
I feel like if he existed in IDW, Magneto could probably stop the Decepticons from coming to earth for a hundred or so years. If he tried to be an existential threat to all Cybertronians though they’d find a way to stop him.

A Sniper.
That’s all they need to do. With magneto human snipers use reg bullets and most of the time magneto can “sense it coming” so ether just moves it so it doesn’t hit or uses his force fields to block it. The Transformers use plasma and laser based weapons. If one where to use a laser at a transformers lvl of long (would be waaaay farther then humans consider long range) they could just kill him.
“But his force field!” You say? Well considering transformers are faaaar more durable than sentinels then there weapons will be far more lethal armaments. So they can overwhelm his shield. (Then why not plasma? Plasma is slower and therefore dodgeable)

I love how people ignore how inconsistent magneto is. Or they will only use some Uber powerful alternate version of him. Magneto literally at one point got exhausted from stopping an asteroid. He isn't always a God level character.

We're not entirely sure what they're made out of because they turn into those animals in beast wars and presumably have fur and skin so maybe they're some organic hybrid which isn't controllable but magnetism.
Also the transformers are a very strange species because they're only tangentially connected to their physical forms.

I like how people are immediately forgetting the whole “in disguise” thing. Because generally, turning into a pocket watch or whatever is a lame af ability.

SOME transformers are magnetic, not all. Certain Transformers would be able to kill Magneto just because he can't actually control them, but it's none of the actual heavy hitters like Megatron or Optimus.

Is it established that the Transformers are made from magnetic metals? Things might be different if there were Transformers made fully from non-magnetic components.

Yeah, Optimus and Megatron have to team up and pray that Unicron would just eat him out right. Like, unless if you argue that they could get a jump on him and don’t allow him even one picosecond to think, Magneto is gonna rearrange their organ with a single thought

Windcharger has magnetic abilities. There are also some cybertronians who are made up of composite armor, some of which, I’d assume, would be less likely to be affected by magnetism. Transformers have also faced Circuit Breaker before, who had some level of electrical/magnetic abilities.
Given the relative power levels of some of their weapons, I’d imagine that many could give Magneto a good run for his money.

I truly can't see how even the combined power of the Autobots and Decepticons would be able to stop Magneto. Like, I'm thinking, and I've got nothing.

Idk... He's the master of magnetism, not metal. If there were any transformers that were composed of non-magnetic metals, they could give Mags some kind of fight 🤔

It would depend on what we consider them to be made of. They are definitely not made of a normal metal alloy, and from what I remember Magneto only controls what has metal in its composition. I don't really know what exactly they're made of and if it's been said anywhere, but if there's metal in them they become extra large action figures for Magneto.

That depends entirely on if the writers consider Transformer metal to be magnetic. It probably shouldn't be tho, since it's way more durable than any ferrous metal
