Movie Toy Scale Question

If each movie character only had one toy, what class would it have to be in for them all to be in proper scale with each other?
I'm presuming the Autobots are easy enough:
Optimus Prime - Leader.
Ratchet - Voyager.
Ironhide - Voyager.
Jazz - Deluxe.
Bumblebee - Deluxe.
Is that correct? What classes would the Decepticons be, presuming that Megatron is a Leader Class?

Great freaking question dude! I am curious myself as I hate my stuff being out of scale.
Case in point: My Classics Bumblebee and Cliffjumper reside in the MP/BT cases.
One of the few movie toys that I really liked the look of was Ultimate Bumblebee. But the potential scale is bothersome.

Hey Bonger, they're in a correct scale in bot mode....definitely not in car mode! it would be nice if they were in scale in alternate form!

Absolutely. However, I think that would be a little hard to do engineering wise.
Then again, 75% of my collection displays in bot mode, so BB and CJ work well for me.

Since most of the toys turn into real vehicles, I was planning to add the toy scales to the ongoing toy scale thread. I havn't heard the sizes of many toys yet, but I'm hoping to learn from reviewa (as I'm not buying most of them anyways).
I did do the math on the first wave of movie legends toys and what Mighal bay said is the height of the characters. Tehse may have to change once I do more research.
Legends Barricade - 1/63 scale.
Legends Bumblebee - 1/64 scale.
Legends Autobot Jazz - 1/52 scale.
Legends Autobot Ratchet - 1/96 scale.
I'll keep a running list of them as I get more.

My opinion;
Megatron- Leader
Blackout- Leader
Brawl- Voyager
Starscream- Voyager
Bonecrusher- Voyager
Barricade- Deluxe
Frenzy- legends
Scorpinok- legends
I think Brawn and Starscream could be Leader class but thats getting exspensive.
I think Frenzy and Scorpinok should have nicely articulate legend figures that don't really transform but can still merge with their counterparts.

Cybertron Starscream was Supreme, Ultimate is a size above it. So yes, Ultimate Bumblebee is bigger than Supreme Starscream

O boy...

I don't think there's ever been a transformers line where every character is in perfect scale

Nope.. None..
I know that Jazz is a tad bit larger than Barricade instead of being close to the same size / or a tad bit smaller.

its like in the G1 line, G1 Prime was dwarfed by several other toys who, in the toon, were shorter or same size

Would Blackout really be that big compared to Leader Megatron?

MPs, Alts, absolutely. Maybe not perfect, but pretty damn close.

I'm not highly knowledgable about scale, but it really seems like the cars and trucks (Autobots + Barricade) are in decent scale with each other, as are the military vehicles, though Brawl might be a bit big...

Excluding Alternators Optimus. I was hoping to have some of the movie figures be to scale with the alternators. Maybe I'll replace the Voyager Optimus with 20th Optimus on my display.
