Top-Heavy Guy: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Tom Strong]]'' acquired this physique in adulthood, having been much leaner as a boy. It's possible that this is a side-effect of the high-gravity environment in which he was raised and the emphasis on the miracle food goloka in his diet. Several characters compare him to an upside-down triangle ("You wonderful, triangular man!") -- which, incidentally, is also his [[Chest Emblem]].

 

* Rattigan from ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'' has this build. Being a...um...big mouse {{spoiler|RAT!!!}} he has very broad shoulders, a wide chest, and overall is extremely muscular in the upper body. However, he has a teeny tiny waist and very short legs, easily fitting into a triangle shape. His head is also quite small compared to his shoulder width, despite his genius IQ.

* In the animated ''[[Hellboy]]'' movies, Hellboy is drawn with a huge upper body but mere human-sized legs.

* Chanticleer the rooster from ''[[Rock-a-Doodle]]''.

* In ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'', Starscream's body shape can be described as [http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/d/d6/RevengeOfTheFallenStarscream.jpg an "inverted triangle".]

 

== Literature ==

* Played straight (huge torso and stubby legs) and inverted (incredibly skinny torso and massive legs) in the beach scene in ''[[Where's Waldo]]''.

 

* ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 2'' takes this to an insane degree with [http://www.donkeykongwiki.com/File:Klubba.jpg Klubba]{{Dead link}} and [[Palette Swap|Kudgel]].

* [[media:captain qwark.jpg|Captain Qwark]] of the ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' series, and a few enemies and bosses, such as [http://en.ratchet-galaxy.com/images/rg/personnages/Shellshock.png Shellshock]{{Dead link}}, the [http://images.wikia.com/ratchet/images/9/96/Thug_and_thugs.png Thugs-4-Less leader], and [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080807184812/ratchet/images/7/78/Slag.png Captain Slag.]

* Burrito Bison, from the game with the same name.

 

 

== Western Animation ==

* Kronk from ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' has legs that are long, but are only slightly larger than broom handles.

* Standard in [[Batman Beyond]]. Batman/Terry himself is an example (even when he's not wearing the suit), but so are Bruce, most of the bad guys, even Superman when he guest stars.

 

== [[Real Life]] ==
