The transformers movie franchise gave the cybertronians nova generating weapons. Its the plot of the whole revenge of the fallen remember, they only cause stars to go nova when there are no living things in the planets surrounding the particular star.
The fallen wants to make the sun go nova and absorb the energy generated to create energon cube, even though earth is inhabited. They were going to do this while they were on earth, which might suggest that all transformers can survive a nova explosion from a close distance (earth and even mars would be engulfed by the blast if the sun goes nova, check with any astronomer). but this is just my speculation.
It is a fact however that if the transformers are able to create a "cube" from the energy harvested from the nova using their machine, they can use it to make any machine from, bread toasters and cell phones to deathstars, starforge, galaxy gun and suncrushers, into a sentient war freak, gun-tooting transformer as seen in the movies 1 and 2. This means they can convert the entire imperial fleet and all technology present in the SW universe for that matter, into an unstopable transformer juggernaut army.
