The cartoon, for example, shows Optimus, Megatron and Soundwave as about the same height, Seekers and Autobot cars as slightly shorter (though not as much as the toys are), and Minibots as smaller yet. This could all be totally wrong and I still have no idea how tall characters like Brainstorm and Rodimus are EDIT: While this introduces a nice range of options for the discerning collector, it can also lead to some problems. Megatron is a Tyrannosaurus rex but is shown in "The Agenda (Part III)", as being much smaller than Optimus Prime. The Animated franchise has its share of scale problems when comparing its toyline to the cartoon (not helped by multiple releases of some characters in different sizessee above), with several characters seeming roughly one size class too small, such as the Dinobots being a mix of one Voyager size and two Deluxes, Sentinel Prime looking rather diminutive as a Deluxe, and, most egregiously, Lugnut as a very squat Voyager who's shorter than even some Deluxes (as with Voyager-class Bulkhead, more of his mass went into his width, plus his weapon takes away some from his robot mode).

[4] Thus, Optimal Optimus is ungodly tall in his first appearance, later reduced to perhaps two times the height of the rest of the cast. In Revenge of the Fallen, his size is based on the actual sizes of his components; the ROTF game inflates his overall scale to a far larger size. In toy form, Lockdown's small alternate mode means you can either set his Deluxe-sized toy against a Voyager-or-smaller Prime for correct robot mode scale, or against a Leader-sized Prime toy for correct vehicle mode scale - but obviously not both! If virtually all characters use mass-shifting (or whatever) to gain or drop a few feet of height for no logical reason, the technology would be pointlessly mundane. Despite this guide, the series writers have indicated some measure of disregard for relative scale when it suited the needs of dramatic tension. Shatter and Dropkick were introduced as the first Triple Changers in the film franchise with two Earth-based vehicle forms (with Drift having a Cybertronian helicopter mode alongside his car mode). It's not perfect but hey, what're you going to do?

Fortress Maximus suffered a similar problem, shrinking in size even though he was explicitly rebuilt to be twice as tall as the average Transformer.
