YOU WON’T BELIEVE How Tall Optimus Prime REALLY Is!

by

Over the years, Transformers has undergone numerous adaptations, resulting in its characters being depicted in various scales to create diverse impacts. For instance, Optimus Prime is often represented standing at approximately 6 meters (20 feet) tall, as seen in the initial Generation 1 animated series.

Nevertheless, he has gone on to achieve even more impressive heights since then. There are numerous verified instances of character heights in literature, but there are also cases where the characters’ heights may appear greater than others, leaving room for speculation about their actual height.

6. Transformers (2007)

Optimus Prime Stands at 28 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: July 20, 2007
  • First film in the live-action Transformers film franchise.

Just as Optimus Prime has taken on various forms in the past, he currently leads the Autobots, who are engaged in conflict with the Decepticons led by Megatron. In the live-action movies, Optimus Prime underwent a significant increase in size, growing from approximately 19 feet to an impressive 28 feet tall.

In the upcoming movie “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” Optimus is set to revert back to his original Generation 1 size. Yet, it’s important to note that he experienced two significant height increases in other films. These elevations don’t come close to matching his colossal form across all platforms.

It’s important to mention that Optimus Prime’s initial height wasn’t 32 feet; instead, he was slightly taller than that. Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Jazz also were of a similar height, being taller than this initial measurement of 32 feet.

5. Transformers: The Last Knight

Optimus Prime Stands at 29 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: June 23, 2017
  • Fifth film in the live-action Transformers film franchise.

Throughout various live-action movies, both Optimus Prime’s design and his stature have undergone significant changes, with the version seen in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen being among the tallest portrayals within the movie series.

In the movie “Transformers: The Last Knight,” Optimus Prime undergoes a transformation, growing slightly taller – an additional foot to be exact – compared to his initial appearance. This new version of him has a sleeker design, resembling armor more than his typical representation, with many of his components being streamlined.

4. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Optimus Prime Stands at ~30 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: August 21, 2012
  • The Autobots and Decepticons fight for control of Cybertron.

Although its specific height isn’t disclosed, it’s been confirmed to be roughly 30 feet tall. This places it among the larger animated versions comparable to the sizes depicted in the live-action movies.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve come across Optimus Prime not just on my gaming screens but also in various written forms. The Fall of Cybertron is an extension of the War for Cybertron narrative, drawing heavily from its well-established lore to build upon it.

3. IDW Continuity (2005)

Optimus Prime Stands at 38 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: October 19, 2005
  • Great for modern fans who wish to get into modern Transformers comics.

In my perspective, IDW has unleashed a plethora of comic books that delve into various iterations of the Transformers universe. Each tale unfolds across distinct story arcs. In the current narrative, I’m captivated by the towering figure of Optimus Prime, who stands an impressive 38 feet tall.

The comics offer an abundant source of tales and folklore, teeming with famous figures and narrative motifs. Moreover, several characters experience fresh developments, like Megatron and Galvatron being distinct personalities instead of the same character.

In the initial Transformers tale (G1), Galvatron emerges as a transformed version of Megatron following his rescue by Unicron.

2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Optimus Prime Stands at 40 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: June 24, 2009
  • Second film in the live-action Transformers film franchise.

In this movie, Optimus Prime gets a major boost to his power, enabling him to battle the main adversary effectively. In this enhanced state, he towers an impressive 40 feet tall, making it one of the most massive forms Optimus Prime has ever taken throughout the Transformers series, and also the largest form depicted in the live-action movies.

It’s important to mention a particular Combiner form called Omega Prime. This version is significantly larger than other forms of Optimus Prime that have been mentioned before. Interestingly, control over Omega Prime is shared equally between Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, contrary to the individual control exhibited by Optimus in other forms. The creators designed Omega Prime with the intention of allowing Ultra Magnus to seize the Matrix of Leadership from Optimus. It’s also worth noting that some Combiner forms can reach heights of 100 feet, similar to Omega Prime, and these aren’t solely controlled by Optimus Prime as depicted in this film.

1. Transformers × Evangelion

Optimus Prime Stands at 246 Feet Tall

  • Release Date: May 23, 2014
  • Fans of large-scale Transformer fights like Combiners will get a kick out of this mecha-sized Optimus.

In the cross-over tale involving the Evangelion series, Optimus Prime assumes the shape known as Optimus Prime Mode Eva. He acquires this form by scanning the Evangelion Unit-01, often called EVA-01. This form showcases a massive Optimus Prime with a unique color scheme of purple and green.

In simpler terms, Optimus Prime has complete authority over this specific shape. It’s important to note that Optimus stands taller than any other recorded height at a towering 75 meters, which is equivalent to 246 feet. This means he overshadows many of the franchise’s giant Combiner characters.
