In another variation of this, Prime Predaking is a colossal monster in beast mode that even the upgraded Optimus Prime can barely look in the chest, but transforms into a beefy robot a head or two taller than Megatron. Other toys with comparable alternate modes that are slightly out of scale with each other are Generation 1 Sunstreaker and Sideswipe (mentioned above), who have the same basic alternate mode (with a few differences), and Universe Legends Class Autobot Jazz and Rodimus. Devastator in the Season One scale guide was approximately 2.5 times the height of Optimus Prime, but by Season Two he was somewhat less than twice Prime's height.

Blaster becomes a human-scale radio; Megatron shrinks into a handgun scaled for either Transformer or human hands, depending on the situation. Where would we keep it? ). The Japanese Galaxy Force release of Metroplex, dubbed "Megalo Convoy", included an exclusive redeco of the Legends of Cybertron Optimus Prime toy to indicate the "correct" scale. (And they were never gonna make a properly screen-accurate-scale Scavenger, though a Commander Class figure was in the works, but was canned, bummer.). The list of authors can be seen in the page history. Though their toys are some of the larger G1 toys, correctly scaled, this would make their robot modes several times the height of most Autobots. Someone took these comparison charts, and took a scan with Silas standing next to Starscream to get his height, and then calculated all the rest. Sometimes toys that ship in the same assortment or size class have similar alternate modes (i.e. Mini Vehicles Warpath, Seaspray, and Powerglide are usually depicted as smaller than other Transformers in fiction, even though their alternate modes should have them towering over other characters. Toys out of scale with others in the same line, Toys slightly out of scale with others in the same assortment, Intentional attempts at a consistent scale, Wait till you see the artist's rendition of a scale-accurate version, tiny (and correctly scaled) version of Scorponok, characters who traditionally don't have automobile alternate modes, giant, transformer-sized humanoids on an alien planet. However, that presents problems with some characters, such as Sideways (motorcycle) being the same size as Thrust (jet), especially if you assume Mirror is meant to be the size of a human.

Another glaring scale problem comes in the form of the Seekers, who turn into F-15 Eagles which, in real life, are 19.4 m (63.8 feet) long. Further, Cheetor and Tigatron's toys use the same (Deluxe) mold, but Tigatron is a head taller in the show (both because tigers are larger than cheetahs, and because Cheetor is "a kid").

The problems of describing citybots as "cities" is a thousand times worse if Unicron is supposed to have a planet alternate mode, and Cybertron is in turn supposed to be of similar size. New and altered characters in later seasons were generally more consistent in size (and appearance) with the toys. For all of these reasons, it is usually considered one of the best Transformers cartoons. The Autobots use the Omega Lock to restore Cybertron and settle back on their homeworld. Autobots: By using information fromVector Sigmadownloaded to theKey, Jack restores Optimus's memory. Conversely, the traditionally stunted Bumblebee is marginally too tall and bulky to be in correct scale to his otherwise fairly accurate core teammates, assuming one includes Voyager Optimus and Leader Bulkhead in their lineup.

I've gotten MULTIPLE production charts from here in North America and from sources in Japan! When entering the Ark, the Beast Warriors are quite small compared to the dormant Generation 1 characters, especially Optimus Primebut just how much bigger varies quite a bit from scene to scene and episode to episode. Devastator is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the Constructicons into a merged being is a huge success. The cartoon, for example, shows Prime, Megatron and Soundwave as about the same height, Seekers and Autobot cars as slightly shorter (though not as much as the toys are), and Minibots as smaller yet.

For example, on the cover of the first issue of the original Transformers comics series, Optimus Prime is extremely huge compared to the highway, bridge, and normal cars (Laserbeak is bigger than usual, too). For example, Optimus Prime is routinely shown as thoroughly gargantuan, several stories in height, and capable of cradling humans in his palm. Despite this guide, the series writers have indicated some measure of disregard for relative scale when it suited the needs of dramatic tension. The height of the cartoon's Skyfire, just to name one, frequently varied between episodes. The Revenge of the Fallen "Shanghai Showdown" multi-pack with Demolishor's Voyager-sized toy and the ice cream truck versions of Skids and Mudflap (whose combined alternate mode is Deluxe-sized) is closer, but truly scale-accurate multi-packs like the (unreleased) Transformers (2010) "Sideways Sneak Attack" pack with a Deluxe-sized Sideways (who transforms into a car) and the aforementioned Legends Class version of Arcee and two redecos of hers as Chromia and Elita-1 are rare exceptions. the Seekers to choose to get shorter when going into battle. Notably, Optimus Prime gains an extra twelve feet when he wears a corpse. The result is that, while he may transform into a very accurately-proportioned handgun, it's unmistakably much larger than the real thing not that this has stopped him being widely banned as a "realistic firearm replica". If one takes James Robert's measurements into account (but then, the Lost Light has its own fair share of scaling problems), this would make him and some of the other Titans approximately 15 miles high in robot mode taller than Manhattan Island is long!
