Devastator was meant to be 60ft if, memory serves..... That may give you some frame of reference compared to Omega Supreme and Prime.
(I think it was 35ft-ish for Prime according to the info released in Masterpiece Prime's Japanese booklet.)
Maximus was bigger than that in both comic and cartoon... Probably like 100ft, at a guess.
Metroplex was probably the biggest out of the ones you mention. That guy had to be like 600ft or something...
Yup. Im going off of Bob Budiansky's original/marvel's specs. (That sunbow marvellously would as you say, ignore on multiple occasions.)
The mass shifting thing with the astrotrain incident: Ive always just read it that astrotrain changes mass/size, rather than the TFs changing to fit inside. All very Tardis like isn't it..? Pretzel-logictastic.
Like in the 1st three part TF cartoon episodes where you see Bumblebee fitting inside Ironhide. (oo-er!) And inside Wheeljack on Cybertron right at the beginning.. Skyfire..... The list goes on.

Their was a shot of grimlock going up against some army tanks that were controlled by a super computer...........he puts the whole tank in his mouth so he's like the size of godzilla.
In the movie, and the whole Deceticon brawl inside of astrotrain. I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about.
There is also an episode where Blitzwing, Starscream, and astrotrain team-up togther. One part Blitzwing takes over a sports stadium and walks into the locker room. So there he is standing a HUMAN locker room and throws a coach into a locker which appear to be 30ft tall.
The super robots came in two different sizes.
The combine ones like Devastator, Superion et al. were maybe five times taller than a large robot like Optimus Prime. But the mega robots - Omega Supreme, Metroplex, Trypticon et al - were nearly twice the size of the combine giants.

I remember seeing this hardcover book awhile ago that was off the same type of books that went into technical detail to Gundam specs, but it was about TF's. I tried looking it up, but had no luck.
Hard to say... Comics have him around 31,000 miles across (From pole to pole in planet mode) approximately half the size of Saturn. However, he has been quoted as far reaching as 72,000 miles (Same Size as Saturn, A.K.A. the same size as Cybertron).
But toons can have him ranging from a few dozen miles to just over 1,000 miles pole to pole in planet mode.
Comics Unicron however, was a beast.
