    good we settled that argument. Megatron and Prime dont size change but starscream and the constructicons do.

    All the characters change size, apart from all of them. Megatron is taller than Prime, who is taller than Starscream, who is taller than Megatron. I'm Brian and so is my wife.

    It really would have been an issue if for instance Wheelie went from a under 3 foot robot to a huge 16 foot Behemoth like Bumbleebee.

    Well it sounds yet again like you guys have argued incessantly, only to short-sightedly wait until the end to point out the argument's pointlessness.

    But I read through all EIGHT pages of this s**t so somebody better read my godd**n analysis.

    The designers of this movie's robotic characters used computers and carefully recreated each alt mode vehicle in 3d space to ensure that their robot modes could concievably fold, unfold, and then refold to fit into itself.

    So a nice convenient way to find peace with this debate (devoid of proof, of course) is to infer that any quirks or noticable issues with scale must ensue as a result of differences in each TF's transformation.

    For instance, Megatron is a nice case of 'what you see is what you get'. He's big in vehicle mode, and bigger than Optimus and SS in robot mode.

    Optimus manages to go from a vehicle much smaller than Megatron's to a robot in much closer size, so his transformation must involve much more unfurling and unfolding from a tighter, compact form.

    Starscream is the opposite. In order to transform from possibly the largest vehicle mode among the three to a robot mode equal to Megs and barely bigger than Opt is the result of him tightly compacting and tightening up while transforming. Plus those wings and tailfins probably don't provide much mass.

    And as far as Devastator goes, he's a mess. Yes, Long Haul is much larger than Rampage in both vehicle and robot mode. My assumption is that different models of both truck and bulldozer were used to actually form Devastator than the ones who transformed into robot characters, thereby nullifying the issue. Besides, Devastator-rampage was yellow, and stand-alone Rampage was red.
