The Reapers win. Its an absolute slug fest, with Reapers taking about 25% casualties, but eventually they win.

As far as I can see it, the Transformers have basically 1 planet. The Reapers can smack Cybertron down again and again, and whatever counter dreadnought defenses the Transformers might have are eventually destroyed. It comes down to basically who has the bigger Armada, and we know the Reapers having been around for billions if not trillions of years have a huge Fleet. If the Transformer Units take out 20 Reapers, the Reapers send in 200 more. Its an unwinnable battle. In addition, the Reapers can pretty much glass Cybertron and the Transformers wont have any ground to stand on to fight. Optimus Prime is great and he can easily rally millions of Transformers to his side, but Shepard did the same thing and all that happened was a meaningless Fleet action that cost the Galaxy the last of its Navies. The Transformers, already locked in a bitter Civil War are in a much worse position to contend with a full blown Reaper invasion. I think the Transformers Cycle will go down to a similar way the Prothean cycle did in the Mass Effect universe. Initially, the Transformers are shocked to meet the Reapers, but then manage to put up a decent amount of resistance, but fall into the same trap that the Protheans did and turn the war into one of attrition, in which no one can win (except maybe the Warhammer 40K universe). Assuming of course the Transformers cant come up with a Crucible type device, its going to require an incredible level of Command and Control on a strategic level, and with the current level of mistrust in the Transformers Universe its impossible.

There has to be absolute 110% faith in youre leadership, especially when facing an unknowable and nigh on unbeatable enemy. The Reapers dont have any problems with leadership. They know what the end goal is. They have always known what the end goal will be; exterminating all organic life.

Sorry Optimus and Megatron, but Harby and Co are just too much for you. The Reapers wont even need to bring in ground forces to win this one. Just a load of airstrikes and its over.
