Transformers Jazz shorter than Bumblebee??? Height confirmations:

[arty2]

From LatinoReview's set report preview:
http://www.latinoreview.com/news.php?id=907

So exactly how big are these robots? Michael Bay gave us the rundown on some of the robots:

• Jazz : 13 feet tall
  Bumblebee: 17 feet tall
  Ratchet: 24 feet tall
  Iron Hide: 26 feet tall
  Optimus Prime: 28 feet tall
  Megatron: 34 feet tall

i thought they made optimus a longnose to make him 35 - 40 feet this is the flat nose size they said he would be if they went with this design, i dont car how tall they are though but i wish bb was like a focus or metro or something

 

[Golgo-13]

If true, this is yet another example of why people are so mad and can't understand why Bay continues to say 'he's a fan' and that he 'respects the source material'.......

 

[nosebleed.]

OP 28' only? Where's the extra 7-10 feet that they said was reasoning for making him longnosed? Oh man, let the sh**hittingthefan commence.

 

[CFlash]

What???
Seems to me that Jazz and Bumblebee's names should be switched! So Jazz is the little guy in the group now? Oh man oh man oh man.

Can someone explain to me what the logic was here? To make BB a hot-rod and Jazz a Solstice? Doesn't the reverse make MORE SENSE????

 

[Mic]

Oh god damn it.

Making prime a long nose to make him bigger is complete bull****, they could have easily gotten 34 ****ing feet from a flat nose.

Bumblebee is the Autobots little guy! Hes the one who can sneak around for them, spy for them if you will. Hes the biggest underdog, the kid. Not Jazz, jazz is the pimp. God damn it.l

Yes. Completely.

 

[Shinobi Rendar]

damn jazz is way to short :S

this height thing kinda bums me out.

Megatron is way too tall compare to optimus.

 

[xwolverine2]

34ft and 28 ft are HUGE!

 

[x-fan]

but there excuse for making op a longnose was to make him as tall as megatron............. im ok with it but why say one thing but when it ...wait where did the hieghts come from....

 

[xwolverine2]

you people are now *****ing over 6ft difference...............when they both are 30ft huge?

 

[x-fan]

i'm thinking that this is possibly out of date sizing since it was before they chose the car styles for the movie ei op as a longnose

 

[nosebleed.]

you people are now *****ing over 6ft difference...............when they both are 30ft huge?

Yeah, that's only a whole human being of a difference.

They LIED about the reasoning behind Prime being a longnose...THAT's why I'm pissed.

 

[x-fan]

read up one nosebleed i think i might be onto something

 

[CFlash]

you people are now *****ing over 6ft difference...............when they both are 30ft huge?

They're *****ing because of the excuse given for making Prime a long nose.

And you can't tell me that the Jazz / Bumblebee thing makes any sense. I'd love to hear your defense of that.

Why would Bay give them old information?

 

[Mic]

No problem with Megatron being taller. No problem with op being 28ft tall.

Jazz being smaller than bumblebee? Yes, i have a problem with that.
Making prime a long nose for what turns out was bull**** (making a flat nose 28 feet tall would not have been hard), yes I have a problem with that.

whats so bad about a long nose?

 

[CFlash]

What was the rationale again for making BB a Camaro? Why didn't they make him the Solstice? Let me beat xw2 to it... "a teenager wouldn't want a solstice."
NEWSFLASH: A teenager in 1984 wouldn't have wanted a Beetle either... they would have wanted the Trans-am from Knight Rider.

It's a dumb rationale for what is in essense an ejaculation of Bay's ego.

 

[x-fan]

ohh well i miss read the source, darn oh well now op is an underdog to the bigger badder megatron got to find good in it somewhere

i hate it movie people lie for there reasons for doing things

 

[nosebleed.]

whats so bad about a long nose?

THIS is the reason for the longnose given by Bay:

-The reasons why they went with a huge long nose truck for OP (BTW, regarding the flames, there is a context for them like Orci pointed out). Bay said they did test with flat noses (FN) for scale purposes, and the FN would only be about 20 to 25 feet tall, so they went with the biggest truck they could find: the Peterbilt. We're talking 40 to 50 foot tall robots here. The physics for these robots have to be real...aka no magically disappearing parts. Also, OP is going to have much more red than what was shown in the supposedly "leaked" photo.

28 feet tall is a lot different from 40 to 50 feet tall.

Whats wrong with a flat nose?

he said robotS not optimus prime.....

and the robot IS 3ft higher.

i think it was a matter of misenterpritation(sp?)

So according to your logic they went with a longnosed opposed to a flatnosed for 3 feet. That's perfectly reasonable...
