Quote:That's Palladium Games thinking.
Nononono - an Macross Cannon shot is not measurable in any known unit. Put simply, it is an Omega Class Weapon, meaning that anything smaller than a decent sized planetoid will be vaporized upon impact. As in Game Over, Thank You For Playing

Quote:Ah, but I have a viable standard for comparison...
Any comparison to other non-Omega Class Weapon is simply moot. And comparisons between Omega Class Weapons mostly involve which one looks cooler...
Follow the bouncing logic:
The Guyver's "Mega-Smasher" is a particle beam cannon whose power is estimated to be 100 mw.
The upgraded version, the Guyver Gigantic's "Giga-Smasher", is measured at 100 times that--10 gigawatts.
The Giga-Smasher beam is identical in range, width, and apparent firepower to the Reaction Cannon. (Sho fires it from Tokyo at ZX-Tole, who's in high orbit at the time. The SFX are identical to the Macross's booby-trap blast from ep. 1.)
Okay, so it's a bit speculative (a bit?) but I don't believe in letting Kevin Siembieda tell me what is and is not quantifiable...
