I measured my spoons. They’re about 20 cm (one type 21 cm, the other 19 cm)
The average human is amout 175 cm tall.
The average cybertronian… Bumblebee is usually considered short/minibot, and the most consistent size given for Bumblebee is five meters. Three to five meters according to the wiki.
Optimus is considered above average in size, and he’s usually somewhere between 6 and10 meters, sometimes taller after an upgrade.
Add in the various universes, the sizeshifting between altmodes, and that the smallest autobots in idw 2005 tend to be the same size as the largest autobots in tfa…
So, size is all over the place with Transformers, and this is a fan-made au, and…
Oh, thank fandom, Blurrito had made scale comparisions in their art, and said scale comparision outright states that the average adult in their universe is is 40.5. Now to convert that, ok, that’s 12,3444 m. So 12,34 or 12,35 m.
Ok, 175 divided by 20 is 8,75.
1234,44 divided by 8,75 is about 141,08
To check, 1234,44 divided by 141 is about 8,755
So the the pick-tongs are about 1,41 m. Which is well over four feet. (by, like, five or six inches? I might be reading this wrong. Converting into two incomprehensible measurements turns out to be a bit tricky)
Considering the smaller characters are about half the size of the average adult (measuring Minimus to Optimus and Moonracer to Elita-definitely-not-Chromia) and the taller ones are-one-and-a-half as tall as average, there’s definitely going to be huge differences in how they hold the pick-tongs.
For bonus points, a regular human pickaxe is about three feet, or 91 cm.
