If anything, Puny Little Herc was the one getting carried:

Not to mention Sunspot was literally amped due to M-pox and this isn't his normal state.
...Or is this like a new M-Pox outbreak or something?

It's the same, but I guess it's unclear after Krakoa where eberyone was getting resurrected. IvX had the Terrigen Mists all cleared out, anyway, which removed M-Pox, and Rogue etc was cured.

In order to argue, what? That Hulk would shatter Doomsday?
Superman shattered a planet of unknown size. Roberto assisted in stopping a planet of known size, someone that is meta at best. Meta level Roberto ft is far more impressive since we actually have numbers we can go by and we know earth is big AF.

This is the same comic where Hulk treated everyone like fodder, including Hercules and Jane Thor. Hulk was shown to be significantly more powerful than the entire team to the point that Herc hurt his hand punching Hulk. So no, Roberto isn't a Hulk peer, lol.

Two years after that, your favorite hack of a writer (Hickman) brings it up again when he has Sunspot bragging about being faster and stronger than Gladiator, then partially restraining him (with the help of Deathbird keeping Glads occupied, to be fair... and Deathbird used to boast about being almost as strong as Glads back in the day, heh).

If a comic seems even remotely interesting to you, read it. At the end of the day some of our recommendations might be helpful, but it always comes down to your own personal tastes in the end.That said, I recently caught up with all the Energon Universe stuff myself(there's really not a whole lot to get through at this point.)
The EU currently has 3 ongoings:
-G.I. Joe(4 issues, atm.)
-Transformers(17 issues, atm.)
-Void Rivals(16 issues, atm.)Along with a few separate Joe-related minis:
-Cobra Commander
-Destro
-Duke
-ScarlettIt has all been very enjoyable so far, imo. What I appreciate most about this imprint is that you don't really need to go in with much(if any) preexisting knowledge about the characters and whatnot. The EU is its own thing --a near-complete overhaul of these franchises-- so you just kind of learn what you need to know as the story naturally develops. Aside from that, while every book obviously takes place within the same universe, one title is still not "required reading" for the others. IOW, you don't also have to read Transformers just to understand what's going on in Void Rivals(and vice versa.) The Joe minis are a little more important because they flesh-out the characters quite a bit, but they still aren't a strict prerequisite before you can dive into the Joe ongoing -- but I will say that if you end up enjoying Void Rivals, you'll definitely want to read the other titles.
...And on the Joe side of things: I'm honestly shocked that Snake Eyes hasn't even been teased yet(especially since Storm Shadow and the Arashikage have already been introduced.) That is an insane level of restraint by the writer, considering his status as the most popular character in the franchise... But I'm sure when Snake Eyes inevitably does debut in the EU, it'll be something to see.
Courious though, why do you reckon Destro is still choosing to work under Cobra Commander? Doesn't seem like he "needs" him. 😕

Spoiler:👆
Because Cobra is the one supplying Energon to Destro.
