Found on G1 Tech Specs Cards. I'm frikking lucky TakTom put kanji there.
MetalHawk's Air to Space Speed: 15 minutes for a 2 way roundtrip from the Earth to the Moon.

Land Speed

Headmaster Jrs.
Goshooter: Mach 8.5
Minerva: Mach 6

Duo-Cons
Flywheels: 120 km/h = 74.6 mp/h

Pretenders
Lander: 400 km/h = 248.5 mp/h

Targetmasters
Stepper: 700 kmh = 435 mp/h

Godmasters
Lightfoot: Mach 10
Roadking: Mach 9.5

Others...
Great Shot (War Car mode): 400km/h = 248.5 mp/h

Air Speed
Duo-Cons
Flywheels: 2,080 km/h = 1292.5 mp/h

Gestalts
Predaking: 560 km/h = 348 mp/h

Sixwing (all members): Mach 10

 

Well that Stat on Astrotrain is way wrong. He can hit escape velocity and travel sub-light speed. So at the bare minimum he can go at least 30,000mph, and at the maximum some 148,000 miles a minute.

Same applies to any other spacecraft TF.

 

DErp. Didn't see the space speed chart.

I still disagree with it, they must move much faster, because anything short of lightspeed or Ftl is crazy slow, at lightspeed the closest system to us would take 14 years to get to.

But then we also have Transwarp and Space Bridge to think about...

 

I don't know wtf you're talking about.

"As a space shuttle, Astrotrain can achieve, under his own power, planetary orbit, where he can attain a maximum speed of 20,000 mph. He can launch weapons and satellites while in orbit, and carry other cargo as well. If he carries an extra fuel supply, he can leave his orbit and is capable of true space travel, boosting his speed to 50,000 mph. He would be able to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back, but not much more. As a train, his top speed on rail is 400 mph and he has a range of 1700 miles."

 

Applying real world mechanics to G1 fiction? These are G1 robots that surpass human engineering.

 

Updated.

Btw where did you get the stats for Sixwing?

 

Whoa what?....Dreadwing is the fastest G1 there is?
The Dreadwing and Darkwing mix?


(I'm not includeing Tigerhawk he's power by god-aliens...it's cheatin')

 

Found it on his tech specs. Former classmate of my school who's become a professor is a G1 collector of vintages. Who'da thought.

They're Vok. Not genies or "god-aliens".

And it's not cheating, either.

 

Okay, so no real life argument. Then your chart is utterly useless.

 

Thanks for the info guy.

Yup, it's their combined jet form.

 

Man, those Masterforce guys can move crazily fast.

Thanks for putting this together - there might be no "real world" physics basis for it, but it's still pretty fun to compare the "official" figures given over the years.

 

No, a pie chart is for a single data set.
What you are thinking of for multiple sets is a doughnut chart.
If you have Excel, go to Insert > Chart > Doughnut to see what one looks like.

The Japanese apparently like broken characters.


Speaking of which, I just added Brave Maximus at light speed for space travel.
