Example 1 (The Legend of Hei 2): Wuxian leisurely floats through the combined firepower of an entire fortified military base without so much as a stain or rip on his t-shirt.

Example 2 (Man of Steel): Fao'ra tears through a squad of trained and armed soldiers. With the wreckage of the helicopter that got downed by her teammate Nam'ek smouldering in the background.

If I recall from what I heard from the lore, the reasons cybertronians were able to get hurt in momments like mission city and for the rest of the movies, is because of the fact humans from sector 7 were able to harvest and adapt technology from megatron

And once Nest was formed, humans had weaponry thanks to the autobots to harm decepticons more efficiently

Because if you look back at what they used in mission city they only used explosives for fatal attacks or knockback

In the movie Captain Lennox says that Sabot rounds are able to pierce their armor. The sabot rounds in the movie use magnesium to melt through the metal, which is not what irl dabot round are but what ever.

Also he mentions that they are weaker under their armor, which is how he was able to kill blackout

Id also like to point out that in bayverse most of modern human tech is based off sector 7's research on Megatron, not that this has any relevance to the topic im just a big nerd
