Who was bigger Metroplex or Fort Max?

I was just wondering because I dont think they were ever in the same episode. Same thing with Tryipticon and Scorponok who was bigger?

Depends on your continuity and who was drawing them that day!

Fort Max is supposedly bigger than Metro in the cartoon and certainly in the toy version, AFAIK. The Marvel version started off a little above-average and was retooled to much larger than regular TFs, but not city sized. I can't remember which way Dreamwave went, but I'd suspect they followed the 'toon.

Scorponok is of a similar size to Max in both the comic and the 'toon, probably similar to Trypticon, who likewise is more battle station than city sized in the comics.

As an aside - for Metroplex, the comic explanation was that he was part of Autobot City rather than the entire city itself, which makes much more sense to me.

--EDIT--
See also this image from the Japanese Headmasters series, which makes absolutely no sense when you look at the relative sizes of Chromedome and Fortress (either the boxout pic or in head mode).

So, Fortress is somewhere between a gestalt and Metroplex? Interesting. That would put the "Spike" part of the toy about the size of a 'normal' TF?

Well, in all cases the Spike part is supposed to be around human size, and becomes the head of something around the size of a normal TF. It's just the 'Maximus' part that seems to get confused about how big it is, or can logically be based on the demonstrable size of its head...

--EDIT--
Just understood what you meant. Fortress, as per the Headmasters series, is about the same height as Chromedome IIRC. When he becomes the head of Fortress Maximus, the combination seems to suddenly become much bigger ("Big Mode!", indeed).

In the episode 'Ghost In The Machine' is was Never said that Metroplex'/Trypticon's eyes were the same size as Unicrons. Only that they were big enough to be installed inside Unicron's head. :-B
