Height Chart

[Optimus Prime]

I made a thing!

So it is no surprise that I like height charts. I always found them nifty for other RP sites so that you can know if you would look up at someone, or look down upon them in normal conversation. For Transformers? I am finding that it is extra fun, because the body shapes and heights range SO DRASTICALLY it is absurd. Like... I know Roulette would be shorter than Flatline, but until I put her on the chart? I had no idea their differences were quite SO pronounced.

I realized quickly that I want to add a bunch of people to this to make as complete of reference as possible, but the size and shape differences that make it so fun is also my downfall. Everyone's characters range drastically on the body shape and height department, and I needed to find a means to ask this info without getting peoples hopes too high. ((I am notorious for starting doodles and not going back to them for ages. It took me like... 4 months to finally get Roulette done. I didn't want to ask someone their character info then just not produce anything right away.)) Because of this I made a body chart.

From a toned back humanoid Insecticon, all the way over to Arcee, I made a gambit of Mech and Femme frames to serve as a general reference. My definition of Mech and Femme differences is that a Mech is shaped with shoulders much broader than hips, while a Femme has hips and shoulders pulled closer to be more similar in width. ((Since you know... there aren’t ACTUAL genders in play here.))

This body chart doesn't take into account wings, or slim styled arms or legs, elongated limbs, or shoulder armor, and is rather cookie cutter, but it can give me the foundation I need to know for my height chart, ((OR commissions)). All I ask is if anyone is interested in being applied to the chart in at least a super simple formatting ((Like Mirage who is just bubbles)) just tell me your numbers and then the big details like up wings or down wings, super chunky arms, digitigrade legs, yada yada etc... ((And height compared to a canon)) With this I can tinker away on it privately.

Thank yah for yah time!

Very nice! I've got a height chart of all the canon show characters that I can fire your way, Zer, if that makes it any easier for you!

B-Dump: His chin is just above Megatron's optics, right around his eyebrow. You have free reign to draw him as you wish, but Lex's Christmas avvie provides what his face looks like.

Sarita (if you so choose): Roughly 5'3". She's a bit thinner and ganglier in build than her Heromachine pic.

Rota: Femme body type 10 with her head positioning closer to 12 [not so scrunched onto her body really, it'd be head up and straight posture in thinking]. Uuummm her height is about a head taller than bumblebee ummm wheels are sorta in place where shoulder blades would be while the other pair are basically on the sides of her hip, integrated in. Pointy feet!! exposed joints on her knees and elbows, overall more..'round' and softer in appearance? Of course there's also her lacey little engravings on her chestplate too. Her helm is a bit on the rounder side, with little bumps and grooves like hair


Nell: trace over your old photo, stick her in military clothes, you're good - she's a little taller than Miko

Layby comes under Type, and is a shade shorter than Optimus (a little under the red line). Very similar to Bulkhead's build in terms of limb thickness and shoulder power, but with a lot more straight edges and flat planes. His tires are on the outside of his feet/ankles and set into his shoulders.

Fairwinds looks amazing in both winged and banana form!

................................................... banana form *dies XD*

Mentioned this in cbox but just so that it's all official and everything. Skydork's build is pretty similar to Dreadwing but just a tincy bit shorter and a bit bulkier, more around OP's height. (I say this but it's more a handwavy, theoretically he's built like Dreadwing but I have his WFC self permanently branded into my brain and nothing can fix that). Sooo. Yeah. Once again, I have a vaguely defined character Zer. 

And there ain't no way this skinny idiot is carrying around a mini space bridge inside him.

Wildfire stands at a five on the femme body chart. She's a big gal with almost Con like appearances to her. Her armor is spiky and "aggressive" looking. (Think like Shattered Glass Prime or something similar.) But she has very large, expressive optics and no faceplate. She also holds herself very carefully and reserved.

From her profile: Altmode aside, Wildfire still ends up being a very large femme. In her bipedal form, she stands the height of the prime but has more bulk. He's a twig compared to her thick frame. The plow from the front of her grill actually turns into a formidable set of brass knuckles on her taloned hands. The tanker (when empty) is hollow and doesn't add much kibble to her frame. The saw blades on the sides and spikes give her an almost roman skirt appearance. If the tanker is full, she can choose not to transform with it losing extra armor on her torso and arms. Her face is rather plain if not a touch “femme” like with her mouth painted a darker gray. She's not a knockout but she's not hideous either.

THERE, ARE YOU HAPPY, ZER?

Alti is pretty much mech bodytype 8, and he's just above the green line in height. He'd probably be a tiny bit taller if he wasn't a little bit slumpped, but that's okay. He'll leave being tall and standing upright to the young folks.

Airlia: When standing tall, neck erect, the top of her head is about level with the bottom of Megatron's crotch. Swan shape, and general proportions. Long neck is long.
