City > Large Building?
City = Large Building?
Haha, only in Transformers.
The characters Metroplex, Trypticon, Fortress Maximus and Scorponok each have altmodes which are described as a "city" (with Fort Max being supposedly the biggest of the 4). However, the scale at which they could plausibly house enough humans, let alone Transformers to be in any way reasonably defined as a "city" would suggest a robot-mode scale that would make Godzilla look like a gecko. No fiction to date, not even the very large depictions in the Japanese Headmasters cartoon, even begins to approximate the size that a true "citybot" would logically become. In reality, the grossly-
undersized depiction of
Unicron would probably be closer to the scale of an actual transformed city.
Furthermore, there is virtually no way to reconcile the "city" altmodes of the actual toys with any believable use of the term. Using windows as even a vague scale, they would hardly qualify as a city block. The cartoon episode Thief in the Night makes some headway in explaining this via an establishing shot that shows Metroplex to be only a small smaller sub-section of the "actual" Autobot City, so you can imagine Trypti around the same height, although this was not repeated. It seems that in Transformer terms, "
city" is better read as "
large building".
Trypticon would win. Godzilla would be almost non-existent. Unless the battle takes place in a no-sense whatsoever G1-style showdown. Even if they WERE the same size, Trypti still wins. He's got the firepower. More than even Mecha-Godzilla. And the king of monsters had a tough one against him.
