How many Megatrons stacked up match King Kong?
King Kong measures 102 m (334.6 ft) from the ground up, and Megatron measures 10.7 m (35.1 ft) from the ground up. King Kong comes to 9.53 times the height of Megatron, a difference of 91.3 m (299.5 ft). Take 9 Megatrons stacked up and you reach 96.3 m (315.9 ft), still 5.7 m (18.7 ft) short of King Kong; one more would overshoot by 5 m (16.4 ft). King Kong is written in hundreds of metres and Megatron in tens of metres, a whole band of scale apart.

Both figures, King Kong and Megatron, come from the Size It Up measurement set, one real-world size and one measured axis per object, last checked in September 2026; outline provenance is listed on the sources page.
Why this one is hard to judge by eye
King Kong is drawn about 8.72 times as wide as Megatron as well as 9.53 times its height, so the area it takes in the frame grows faster than the figure anyone quotes. Nothing this size arrives at the eye whole: King Kong reaches you as a small angle from wherever you can stand back far enough to see it, and the brain fills the rest in from what it expects, which is how 91.3 m of difference goes unnoticed. At 9.53 times, King Kong against Megatron sits past the factor of about five where estimates stop tracking the real ratio and settle into a vague much bigger.
What each figure covers
King Kong. The height is the 2021 film design, far larger than the 1933 original. Both are called the same character, and almost nothing about the scale carries over.
Megatron. The height is the film design for the character, and it changes between films. Nothing in the source fixes it, so any figure arrives with a version attached.
King Kong and Megatron are both quoted as a height, which is what makes the ratio above a like-for-like figure.
What else is about that size?
Measured the same way, King Kong at 102 m sits within a tenth of Big Ben at 96 m, Victoria Falls at 108 m and Saturn V Rocket at 110.6 m. Megatron at 10.7 m has Saguaro Cactus at 12 m, TIE Fighter at 8.8 m and AT-ST Walker at 8.6 m for company, within a quarter. Swapping any of those in for King Kong would move its ratio to Megatron by less than 10%.
