At one point Parallax (Hal) was Multiversal, so the power is somwhere in between Trans and Multiversal, depending on story and intention. I would say the Guardian are about Low to Mid Skyfather, sans Krona and such, still far below the classic celestials. Arhishem could solo them all. I could see Parallax (Zero Hour) soloing the whole Celestial race though.

Lets not go overboard here, The Guardians was extremely weakened when that happened, and even Sinestro himself said that opportunity may not ever happen again.
Hal Parallax in Zero Hour was definitely multiversal. Ion I was definitely uber as well. Every other incarnation since has been trans at best.
The height of the Guardian's powers in recent memory (sans Krona) was probably Ganthet in around Rebirth-era. In that he stomped Kilowog with a hand behind his back, he was said to be omnisicent (though that was obvious hyperbole), and he restored damage caused to a planet and the planets military with a wave of his hand.
To call the rest of those phuckers anything above HH/LT is wishful thinking. They're all talk and no action, and they collectively died against a trans character (so did the Controllers for that matter, their supposed equals/offshoots).

His highest. But we're talking about Celestials here.
BFR'd and supercharged him. With today's pathetic Celestials, a Guardian suicide might kill one, but they're so outnumbered it won't help any.
WL Kyle with all the entities didn't do anything impressive. Also, all of the new replacement Guardians later admitted they were totally bluffing when they said they could take on WL Kyle with just most of the entities.
Very true. You'd have a hard time finding characters with more appearances and fewer feats. Obviously they work almost exclusively through others (Lanterns) and their best feats (such as capturing the entities and harnessing the spectrums) was performed billions of years ago so we've never seen it/can't use it.
However, the feats that we have seen aren't that impressive. Are they above herald level? Absolutely. Above trans? No, imo. High end Ganthet might be low Skyfather, but thats about it.

This is what you consider "overpowered convincingly"? This is 100% of the fight. Literally all the Guardian did was suicide when it appeared SBP was going to kill him anyways. And it didn't hurt SBP, it BFRd him.
1. The entities died to do that
2. It's not an abstract level feat. Just because it's difficult to quantify doesn't mean its abstract level. The entities post Ion I haven't done anything abstract level.
Based on what? Kyle is one of my favorite characters, but becoming a white lantern didn't make him any more powerful, and he sure as shit didn't do anything skyfather level with the entities.
Based on what? What have Johns' Guardians done to even rate as mid-high trans? Thanos would shitstomp them ffs
You're too hung up on absolutely nothing, because that's what the Guardians' feats amount to.
