Scaleface, I was tinkering with a size chart to start my new sketch book and needed to know - do the heights you have down mark the top of the character's head, or the highest point on the toy?

It's kind of an issue with the Seekers.

Thanks

I usually go with the tops of their heads for humanoid robot modes.

[Scaleface]

I also have a set of scale guidelines from the '86 movie floating around my hard drive at home - I'll post those up when I get back.

Do you have the key to this picture? What RPG is it from? An official one or unofficial? My scale pictures are a bit smaller. For instance I had Autobot deluxe cars at about 20 feet, but they range them from 24 to 28 feet tall.

[Scaleface]

I just saw that Cybertron Hot Shot is based on the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve concept car, which is 454 cm long or 178.7 inches long. The Deluxe toy is 14 cm long, so that's a 1/32 scale. He's about 14 cm tall in robot mode too, so he's about 14 feet 11 inches tall.

The toy is 7.5 cm long, so it's 1/61 scale.

Ah, good.

Thanks.

I just added information on the Commandos from RiD.

With Ruinations official height being given as 15 meters (49.2 feet) tall, and the toy measuring 25 centimeters tall, the toy would have a scale of about 1/60. This would mean Mega-Octane would stand 11.4 meters (37.4 feet) tall, while the other Commandos would stand about 4.8 meters (15.7 feet) tall.

Funny thing is it means Ruination is about on the same scale as Micro Hot-Shot.

Rattrap is described in the show bible as being a 5 foot (152 centimeter) long rat. I'm guessing they were not counting the tail, so that makes his 11 cm long transmetal body 1:14 scale. The 15 cm Beast Machines toy would be 1:10 scale. Timelines Rattrap is 10cm tall so he's 1:15 scale.

Anyone know how long the Basic sized toy and Beast Machines Mcdonalds toy are?

[Scaleface]

Brave Maximus from Car Robots is said to stand 350 meters tall in the show notes. The toy stands 54.5 cm tall. This means he's 1/642 scale!

Rail Racer is said to stand 15 meters tall in the show notes. The toy is 24cm tall. This means he's 1/63 scale.

[Scaleface]

I just added most of the cast of Beast Wars Second to the scales.

Additionally, G1 Darkwing is a Panavia Tornado jet which is 16.72 meters long. The toy is 20cm long. So he's 1:84 scale. Toy robot mode is 17cm tall, so he would stand 14.2 meters or about 46.6 feet tall.

I don't know if any of you guys have seen this. I thought it was interesting.

[Zombie Starscream]

What series is that of? It looks like Armada.

[MegaDave]

Cybertron - really dont liek the show size of the giant planet transformers

[Zombie Starscream]

So the large ones are suppost to be planet sized? What are their names? I have never seen the Cybertron series, so I wouldn't know.

[MegaDave]

no the large ones arent supposed to be planet size tho from the statemet i made i can see the confusion.

In the cybertron series transforers came from differnt planets - one of them was called giant planet. The sizes taht are shown there are the size the appear in the show, the actual toys however are quite a fair bit smaller.
For example, the second tallest on the second picture - menasor, is i the same size class as the red tf infront of him (scourge)

[Exulted Unicron]

How's this?



Just to let you know, the tiny ones are Daniel and Wheelie.

I like how Metroplex...a fracking City only comes up to his knee

[MegaDave]

and how cerebros is bigger than a combiner? - or does he enlarge to becme the head of fort max?

[Leonardo]

Mass displacement again!

How does Fort Max even see humans? Look how tiny Daniel is!

[MegaDave]

Maybe thats the real purpose of fort max - the perfect excuse to squish wheelie and daniel and pass it off as an honest mistake

You, Sir, are one of our time's great thinkers. Care for some tea?

[Scaleface]

Thanks for the Cybertron picture. I might be able to do something with that.

I had established that Mini-Cons are about 7 feet tall in another post, so working on that, Sixspeed is 24 pixels tall, while Metroplex is 252 pixels tall. Based on that Metroplex is about 74 feet tall. I think I estimated him at 90 feet tall before, so I was a bit off. With a 13.5 inch tall toy, he's 1/66 scale.

Menasor is 199 pixels tall which is 58 feet tall. With an 8.5 inch tall toy, he's 1/82 scale.

Quickmix is 180 pixels tall, for 52 feet tall. With a 7 inch tall toy he's 1/89 scale.

Super Starscream is 165 pixels at the top of his head, which is 48 feet tall. 13.5 inch tall toy means a he's 1/43 scale. The legends toy is 3 inches tall, for a 1/192 scale.

Megatron is 46 pixels tall, which is 32 feet tall. With a 10 inch tall toy he's 1/38 scale. The Legends toy is 3.25 inches tall, for a 1/118 scale.

Clocker is 57 pixels for 17 feet tall. 4.25 inch tall toy is 1/48 scale.



I just added several Transmetal Beast Wars character, because I found that the Playstation video game says how tall each fighter is in the intro, so I have something to base heights on for them.

[Scaleface]

Masterpiece Optimus Prime stands 30.2 centimeters tall for a scale of 1/30.

[Scaleface]

I've been adding movie toys toy the scale chart. Funny when you start to compare figures. Brawl is such a big vehicle, Leader Brawl is more in scale with more Deluxe Autobot cars, and Deluxe Brawl is more in scale with Legends size Autobot cars. Meanwhile Arcee is about the size of a Beast Wars figure, as she's very short.

[jezones]

here is my version of what they would look like in scale. let me know if i am way off on something. i am going to do the rest of them but its time to watch the georgia game.

[Raymond101]

How tall are the movie Leaders (and Blackout) compared to the Cybertron Leaders?

But thanks for Cybertron Metroplex and Cybertron Megs. I was surprised at how tall Machine Wars Megs is. Is movie Starscream the same height since they use the same vehicle?

[Raymond101]

Wow that's actually really cool. Blackout himself should be even taller than Megs, even without the backpack.

I now have a feeling that Starscream could take on Prime one on one...
