Beast Wars Transformers are, relatively speaking, not a whole lot larger than modern day humans. e.g. Rattrap is 1.8m - 'bout your height. Although that's small by BWTF standards.But then when you see the BWTFs amidst G1TFs (like when they're in the Ark), the G1 TFs are absolutely massive. Still... prehistoric humans would be pretty tiny compared to modern day humans (even humans from not that long ago were fairly short, e.g. the average Roman soldier was only about 1.5m tall).
BWTFs' heights are comparable to the G1 Micromasters... indeed BW continuity suggests that the "Maximal Upgrade" was something that evolved from Micromaster technology -- downsizing Transformers to make them more fuel efficient (hence why when BW Megatron first entered the Ark and looked upon the G1 TFs, he referred to them as "archaic Energon guzzlers!").
At least the BWTFs didn't go about mass-shifting as much as the Micromasters did... like ya know, Roadhandler who transforms into a car large enough for a human to ride in, but in robot mode is small enough to engage in pro-wrestling with a human!And G1 gestalts absolutely use mass-shifting to make themselves way bigger in gestalt mode than they should be!
Aaah... where would G1 be without mass shifting? Probably something like this...
