Cybertron & Unicron: Scale in the Real World

"Getting a Sense of Scale: Cybertron & Unicron in the Real World"

I'll warn you that the first 2/3rds of this video is a detailed explanation of how to calculate Cybertron's size. If this tickle the Transformer fan in you, skip as you like, or head to the 2nd video which one person told me "holds the meat."

Again, feel free to leave comments.

BikerTrashWolf made the excellent remark that I neglected plate tectonics - setting foot on the planet, Unicron would be stepping on the plates which are kind of floating on squishy magma. Volcanoes and earthquakes would abound, send the world into darkness from the ash given off, and even if Unicron was defeated (hah), Earth would face a level of specie extinction not seen since ... well, a long, long time ago.

great info..

I love little tid bits of knowlegde like this..

[CrappyTFhater]

Thank you. It was made necessary by our role-playing game. How do I describe to the players how big Cybertron or Unicron are? You can't guess at that and have a believable game.

[DavidPrime83]

HOLY CRAP YOU ROCK!, thank you i love when Real world sciences are used in shows it makes them feel more real.

[CrappyTFhater]

WOW THANK YOU :D most people can't wait for it to end. I think I'll throw a "You rock!" at you because your comments are insightful and clearly, you THINK.

So Unicron is the size of Florida?

[amartinez97]

I just found out, in transformers # 1 (marvel's run) it says cybertron is Saturn sized and dreamwave and IDW say the same for their continuitys.

[Econniff]

LOL, that means Cybertron doesn't count as a planet :P
