T30 Metroplex is bigger than I thought.

I know scale is wonky with Transformers. Let me get that out of the way. Then there's also mass shifting within the fiction, so that messes things up too.

I wanted to figure out how tall T30 Metroplex would actually be. A daunting task, since he's so out of scale with \*everything\* else. Or is he?

Shortly after T30, we got Combiner Wars with Superion and all his components. They're loosely based on real planes. Okay, that's nice. Time passes.

When Titans Return rolls around, we get Voyager class Broadside (and Tidal Wave) who turns into a massive aircraft carrier. \*And\* he comes with a few familiar little planes.

Looking at these tiny planes, I realized these were likely the best reference for scale, since their real life counterparts can be scaled to the tiny plastic planes.

"Silverbolt" miniature length 0.01904 m

Concord length 39.32 m

roughly 1:2065.126

​

"Firefly", "Quickslinger" miniature length 0.01279 m

Harrier Jump Jet length 14.2 m

roughly 1:1110.242

​

"Skydive" miniature length 0.01293 m

F-16 Fighting Falcon length 15.06 m

roughly 1:1164.733

​

"Air Raid" miniature length 0.01302 m

F-14 Tomcat length 19.13 m

roughly 1:1469.278

​

"Metroplex" Robot Mode height 0.5588 m

At the minimum scale of 1:1110.242 (most likely) he stands at 620.403 m (2035.442913 feet) tall.

At the maximum scale of 1:2065.126 (least likely since Silverbolt is only inspired by the Concord and his plane is WAY out of scale with the others) he would stand at 1153.992 m (3786.0629921 feet)

So Metroplex likely stands a just a little bit shorter than the Shanghai Tower in Shanghai China (632 m). Each 5mm hole would be around the length of a 2023 Ford F-150.
