A question just crossed my mind. Metroplex and Fort Max are the two biggest unique molds in Transformers, what are the next 3 biggest molds making a 5 biggest Transformers list?

Off the top of my head
Unicron, Supreme Class Starscream, Energon Omega, Primus
BM Supreme Cheetor also gets a mention for being one of the tallest

I guess it depends on how you measure "big". Primus is certainly taller than the 2 Primes you mentioned, and bulkier, but the Primes, especially Ultimate, have massive wingspans.

The other thing is... toys like Supreme Class Cheetor and Starscream are essentially oversized Deluxe and Voyager respectively, but toys like Generations Metroplex and Fortress Maximus better justify their size because aside from being transformable action figures, they're also transformable playsets for other Transformers. Supreme Class Cheetor and Starscream just don't do that. IMO Deluxe Class Night Slash Cheetor is actually a much superior toy over Supreme Class, and Voyager Class Cybertron Starscream is pretty much just as good as the Supreme Class. Fortress Maximus Jr. on the other hand, while able to transform from robot to battleship mode pretty much the same as regular Fortress Maximus, just doesn't have a lot of the cool interactive playset features (e.g. ramps, deployers, lift, prison cell, cockpit etc.). The same could be said for a lot of "Playsetformers" (e.g. G1 Metroplex, Trypticon, Star Convoy et al.). These toys are always cooler than simply taking a smaller toy (or what could be a smaller toy) and upsizing it for no apparent reason (other than wanting to sell it at a higher price point).
BM Nightscream could've been a much cooler toy if it were a Deluxe or Mega at most. But as an Ultra he just sucks. The only main loss if they'd downsized him would be the electronic gimmick... but I'd rather have a good smaller toy with no electronic gimmick than a larger crappy toy that lights up.

To be fair, Starscream did become extremely large after harnessing the power of the planet keys, but I agree that it should have been a voyager first and foremost, with perhaps an entirely new mould for a larger one.The other thing is... toys like Supreme Class Cheetor and Starscream are essentially oversized Deluxe and Voyager respectively, but toys like Generations Metroplex and Fortress Maximus better justify their size because aside from being transformable action figures, they're also transformable playsets for other Transformers.

On a side note, was Supreme Scream upscaled from Voyager or Supreme downscaled to Voyager? The only change I know is the planet key insert and the battery operated stuff.

Everything I've ever read says upscaled Voyager.

Is Primus that big? His planet mode is pretty small and I forget how much he expands. But I look at Overlord and Scorponok and in my memory Primus is smaller or same size.

Supreme lost a sword and gained a gun and his nipple blasters can be swivelled up and down whereas the voyager can't plus supreme has a crown.
I'd go with upscaled voyager, as transformation is just too simple for something designed that large and you can kind of see the battery pack area on the voyager as well. Almost as if they designed the voyager to be upscaled in the first place.
