Tywin getting Celestial help would be extremely surprising. An excellent twist!

That'll all be going into the Armory once we have a chance to properly catalog it.

What a shame...
Honestly, is there really any type of being that makes up a majority of our forces to a degree where using [X]-bane weapons on a large scale is even particularly useful? I mean, I guess human/mortal-bane, if such weapons exist, would be useful against the rank and file.

Too broad a category.
Numerically, Humans are by far the most common members of our military forces, so Humanbane would have the most potential targets.
If you take numbers and power into account, Plantbane would be a decent bet.
But that doesn't take into account Undead, or Constructs, etc. We've done a good job of diversifying our forces. And there is no such thing as anti-AG fighter/bomber or capital ship Bane weapon. 🤓

I am pretty sure Tywin assumed that we were a typical Targaryan and would put all out efforts into dragons , Dragons and more DRAGONS , which is not an illogical assumption seeing the family's history , right now Tywin must be shitting bricks as instead of dragons as he expected we focused on tech to the point of making weapons that are even stronger than dragons which he must be completely un prepared for add to that the decision to do so to Tywin must look insane as in Tywin's mind a noble line focuses on hording power for there own benefit and control like the dragons not creating weapons like the moonchaser that would invalidate dragons as the main decider of the ultimate high ground

It's an understandable mistake to make, given the Westerosi zeitgeist and perception of Dragons. The relatively recent history of the continent has been enormously shaped by Targaryen Dragons.
Then you have to take into account the actual facts of present day Imperial forces. We have made no secret that we have dozens of Dragons of various sorts in our service, from typical Valyrian Dragons, to Mind Dragons and Myrkdreki, the Fiery Dragonbeasts, etc., plus literally thousands of Darkenbeasts which could have been mistaken as lesser Dragon species by Westerosi intelligence reports.
And Viserys himself is a Dragon, too, so that just lends weight to the assumption that Dragons will represent the most dangerous aspect of the invasion.

Strictly speaking, they are. It's just that Viserys isn't needed to singlehandedly steamroll all those places. But anything that could kill our Air Force vessels will soon learn that the Dragon(s) is/are the most dangerous things around.
@Azel, could Balerion kill the Moonchaser? My first guess would be "no", but those are some very big numbers he has there...

Apologies for going in a tangent, Goldfish. But in the eyes of magicless, mortal men this has been proven false again and again. And even to those that has the items and gifts to utilize Magic only believes that the title that we don (the Dragon) is merely a hyperbole.
They did not see Viserys as the terrifying Red Wyrm, descendant of Tiamat. They saw Viserys the Sorcerer King and his massive armies and wealth.
Only those that has Interplanar contact, those that are not human in origin, and those that obtains High Mysteries understands the massive shadow that we cast. And even then, only our Companions know how dangerous we are.
Tl;dr, Prime Material country hicks only see us as a powerful man-king, those more experienced with the Planes and Magic saw us as a terrifyingly, competent Chromatic.

This is wrong though. Reread the Rumor post @Duesal maintains (thank you Duesal!). The Westerosi have known for ages that Viserys used blood magic (and possibly drinking wildfire) to turn himself into a Dragon.
Normal people may or may not have believed it, but Lanna could simply have divined it back then. IIRC it happened before we got Mindblank or anything.

It would go badly for the Moonchaser if Balerion got a hold of it, assuming they couldn't just Plane Shift away for some reason, but if the Moonchaser stayed at range, it would win without a doubt.

...they did? Wait, then why does the majority of Westeros still acts as if Viserys is the son of King Aerys II, coming to take his rightful throne rather than the overpowered Mythical WMD with legs and wings that could sunder castles like piecemeal?
Where's the fear? The trembling? The apprehension? The terror that you're standing against/for a being that could break Greater Angels? Why do they still act as if they MEAN anything compared to us?!
Are they that dense?!

Another thing to note in regards to House Deddings. Our family burned their castle back during the era of Aegon the Conqueror. They are salty because of that I imagine...among other things.

It has enough point defense weapons that Balerion would no have a good time in melee either. There's just too many dice worth of alchemical weapons and steam weaponry dedicated to scraping melee beasts off the hull.

Most see "Dragons" as those Valyruan warbeasts.

Come to think of, the Lannisters most likely could not find any weapons that are terribly useful against our air force. Their Marid contacts have not been seen since the Royal Fleet attack, so presumably something happened there that soured the relationship. We certainly didn't find any evidence of Lannisters in Amun Kelisk.
Their other source are the Formians, who have no need for anti-vehicle weapons on the PoE. I mean, they could try to source them elsewhere, but where? Going into the Opaline Vault and asking for "useful weapons against giant, flying metal things" might get you the wrong kind of attention.

In my opinion, this is a very optimistic view of things. There is one place where Tywin Lannister could find an effective weapon against us. And the worst thing is that the bald lion's ego would allow him to completely get in there, believing to the last that he is in control of the situation. This place is Baator.
