I mean...I don't really care as scale is pretty fluid across the entire franchise but yeah...Option B seems about right to me.

 

option b for sure

 

There you go (BE CAREFUL: the file is REALLY big, because I've upsized the chart instead of downsizing the ruler):

That's brilliant, thanks mate. And thanks to everyone who's weighed in so far.

 

Where is Transmutate? I know she was very tall, maybe around Rampage's height or taller.

 

I believe she was taller than Rampage, she's in one of my earlier charts closer to the first couple of pages though.

 

B for Beast Wars.

 

I can’t tell if I think Depth Charge is Rampage’s height because of the toys being the same size or because of the nature of their evenly-matched rivalry. Part of me wants Rampage to be larger just because I like my villains to me more physically imposing but having them on equal footing does seem most accurate to the show. They were both big boys.
No doubt Depth Charge wasn’t as large as Rampage pre-earth-arrival but I like to think his singular focus on hunting down Protoform X helped fuel his growth as he passed through the transwarp radiation to make him a fair match for his nemesis. The universe may hate Waspinator but I think it wanted Depth Charge to succeed in extinguishing Rampage’s abomination of a spark.

So, yeah, option B is looking good  

 

Well said indeed.


Too big for the bridge

 

Ha I remember I used to find that so cool. Well, I still do! Here’s hoping we get an MP sized DC (3p or official  he’s just a great character and I love the design of all his modes.

 

I think also Depthcharge was the first real built to be a warrior Maximal we met. Megs and Dinobot where big but DC probably had a better "diet" and "gym" on Cybertron being connected somewhat with the high council.

 

Do I recall a scene post Crossing the Rubicon with Blackarachnia and Primal? Might be good for scale.

I'll go through and do some stills from Proving Grounds (my favorite episode)

 

I thought so! Why hasn't she been included since? Not a lot of people care? I hope we get an MP of her.

 

So, we can assume the heights should be approx like this, right?

Optimal Optimus: 360-->390
TM2 Megatron: 333-->365
Tigerhawk: 320-->354
Rampage: 299-->295
Depthcharge: 275-->295
Dinobot II: 275
Transmetal Megatron: 270
Megatron: 253
Transmetal Optimus: 234
Dinobot: 231
Inferno: 223
Rhinox: 207
TM2 Cheetor: 207
Silverbolt: 206
Tigatron: 202
Terrorsaur: 200
Ravage: 196
Transmetal Cheetor: 187
Optimus Primal: 184
Transmetal Tarantulas: 175
Cheetor: 165
Airazor: 165
Tarantulas: 161
Waspinator: 158
Scorponok: 157
Transmetal Rattrap: 155
TM2 Blackarachnia: 150
Rattrap: 147
Blackarachnia: 146
Quickstrike: 137

 

She doesn't transform and I don't really need a figure of her probably until the day comes that I have every other character from the show, so that's a pretty poor excuse also I didn't wanna get blasted with questions about her really being that large she might of drawn attention away from other mistakes in the chart. I suppose I was just waiting for someone like you to stand up for her, I'll add her in eventually as there's bound to be some tweaks made to the chart.

Yeah Rampage and Depthcharge are 295 and when I looked at it quickly Optimal was around 390 but I'm just holding off getting the exact measurements for a while just in case there might be a few changes that need to be made. @TM2 Dinobot said he's got the DVD's coming and wanted to post some screens so I'll wait for those at least before I do it.

 

Oh, sorry haha I just saw she wasn't mentioned and no one was talking about her so I was just curious. If Takara does decide to do TM and TM2, and with how they seem to be great with details, she should be a figure at some point.

 

A non-transforming transformers masterpiece (and, considering her size, a rather expensive one as well)? Mmmhh.. I don't know....

 

Idk, i know it sounds like a far stretch, but to do all the others and leave her. Maybe a 3rd party can make her in scale with the MP line.

 

Hmmm... Option B appears more accurate but I honestly prefer option A. I found it irritating how large some of the characters got towards the end of the series. I totally get Jiang Xing's hesitation to make TM2 Megatron larger than 30 cm. A 36 cm TM2 Megatron sounds prohibitively large. I think as long as they get the relative scales about right then I will be happy (i.e. TM2 Megatron > Rampage > TM Tarantulas, etc.).

Nice work guys! Especially you GALVATOM!
