So exactly how big are these robots? Michael Bay gave us the rundown on some of the robots:
Jazz : 13 feet tall
Bumblebee: 17 feet tall
Ratchet: 24 feet tall
Iron Hide: 26 feet tall
Optimus Prime: 28 feet tall
Megatron: 34 feet tall
Link
I must say I am VERY dissapointed that Jazz is a solid 4 feet smaller than Bumblebee.

yeah, what's with that... bumblebee was one of the smallest in the original series... and not only are the autobots outnumbered, but megatron towers over them...

don't forget... they're going by the size of the alt modes for these scales. originally, bumblebee would not have been much smaller than jazz's porsche 935 alt.

I agree with spike, Prime and Megatron were always the same height. Its a bit silly I think that I am going to be so tall.

they seriously need to find something to make jazz better/bigger.
he was primes right hand man.
Call every major exotic speed demon car company out there and get the rights to one.. if he cant be a porshe.. make him something else..
but a pontiac and 13 feet tall?? = crap.

Isn't Megatron taller in Beast Machines and the current Cybertron.

it just wont look the same when they go to hand to hand combat if megatron is looking down on prime.. although... it might have "that affect" like its an uphill battle the whole way through the film until maybe in one of the other sequels to follow this movie they upgrade him into a full on semi??
kinda like how hot rod becomes rodimus prime at the end??
start him as a dodge srt10 and then have him come out as a peterbuilt or a mack truck with the original colouring??

That would be excellent, then maybe they could start reverting all the characters back to their original forms and sizes

Apparently the reason they are giving optimus a long nose instead of a flat nose semi truck look is they want him to have more girth and size.
makes sense when your opponent is bigger stronger and your outnumbered i guess.
