Alt mode sizes compared


trench

Recommended Posts

The smallest combiner would be menasor; he'd probably only be tall enough to reach Superion's waist.

A accurately sized seeker would probably be around this size as well.

 

Astrotrain is another example of horrendous innacuracy. I realized that if the constructicons were able to form Devastator INSIDE Astrotrain without touching the ceiling, he'd technically be the largest transformer, rivaling Omega Supreme (excluding Trypticon and Metroplex)

 

Don't you love technicalities? (i know, its just a cartoon.....)

Let's hear it for mass shifting!

Alts are the same height as their car mode's length. Seeker heads are located behind the cockpit and seekers are the same height as the length of their jet mode from thrusters to the rear of the cockpit. To me, going off the top pic, this means that if they were real, the height difference between a seeker and an Autobot car would be the same as the difference in height between MP Prime and an Alt. Maybe a hair taller. This also means that a real Semi truck could potentially stretch out to be close in height to a real life Jet fighter bot. Just like the Movie scale guide the leaked suggest.

That movie shot of the cardboard cutouts standing around in the street actually didn't look too horrendous from an "akkurate scale" point-of-view. I think the biggest difference between a Semi and a Jet wouldn't necessarly be the height, but the bulk, which is probably why Starscream seems to have gorilla-esque proportions compared to them more "human" proportions of the Autobots.

And how tall would Devastator be?

Just the tires on the Dump truck are what, 15ft tall?

And then Superion? Picture that if you can.

To that extent imagine poor Bruticus with one big leg (tank) and one little leg (jeep). He'd walk with a terrible limp. Not to mention he'd have one GIANT arm (space shuttle) that would be much bigger than the rest of him put together. I can imagine him begging for a mercy killing.

Aren't we all glad that Megatron isn't gonna be a gun? ;)

According to Diaclone stats, Devastator ought to be 15.2m.

So....I guess Predaking would actually end up being the smallest combiner.

 

Nah, Predaking Piranacon, easy. I mean, his middle is a turtle. A turtle!

What, like Gamera?

 

 

 

Edited to add: I totally meant Piranacon...not Predaking. Damnit!

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
