* ''[[Transformers]]''. Hoo-boy. They managed to avoid it in the 2007 movie, with any exceptions (Frenzy's head fitting into a cell phone) being arguable or having [[Hammerspace]] be an implicit ability of the AllSpark. Notable examples from Generation 1 include a motorcycle transformer becoming as large as a helicopter when forming the leg of a [[Humongous Mecha]], and one about the size of Optimus Prime being able to accommodate a Formula One racer on each of his legs. Robots that transformed into ''transformer-scale cities'' were often shown to be no larger than the rest of their fellows ''who were supposed to be able to fit comfortably inside them''. The list goes on.
** In [[Transformers: The Movie|the G1 movie]], Unicron and everyone around him vary in size according to the needs of the scene. He is anywhere from several kilometers tall (when handling Galvatron) to the size of Cybertron (whose size can also vary; using an earlier episode of the cartoon as reference, is about the size of Earth's moon, although if this were true, the planet he consumed at the start of the movie was too small to even be considered a planet). The comic adaptation states Unicron has a diameter of 120,000 kilometers, which is comparable to Saturn.
** The scale issue is ''[[Transformers]]'' is [http://www.tfwiki.info/wiki/Scale best left to a Wiki that can give it an article unto itself.] (Note the category "Things that don't exist".) The average Transformer, it seems, is about the same size as King Kong or an EVA unit.
*** Broadside transforms from an Earth jet into an entire ''aircraft carrier.'' Astrotrain deserves special mention. He transforms from a 21 m ( 70') locomotive (shown to be normal sized compared to others) to a 56 m (184') shuttle (assuming a real life shuttle) - or into an even bigger shuttle, as witnessed by his ability to carry an entire Decepticon team inside of him - including [[Combining Mecha|Devastator]]. And yet Astrotrain's robot mode is as tall as Megatron.
