On of the many great things about the Transformers is that they range from the size of a small car to the size of a building. There are hundreds of Transformers characters that change into all manner of things including cars, trucks, jets, a UFO, a city, a hand gun, dinosaurs, stereo and a microscope. Basically anything Hasbro could make a toy out of. The bigger the transformers characters the bigger and more expensive the toys are so Hasbro have pulled out all the stops to make sure there are plenty of giant robots on the market.
Metroplex is an eighties Generation 1 favourite. Metroplex transforms from a huge white robot into Autobot city and a mobile fortress. He appears in the fourth series of the Transformers G1 cartoon. When he does show up he is normally found fighting the Decepticon Tryptych. The toy of Metroplex stood at about a foot high and comes with a number of accessories which turn into guns that attach and vehicles that can be put inside the city base.
Tryptych is the foil to Metroplex. He's a giant T Rex Dynosaur who doesn't transform into anything. In the 4th series of the Transformers cartoon he has some great scenes where he hangs out with his Decepticon buddy. He has lots of fights with Metroplex. Maybe if there's a Transformers 4 we'll see Metroplex and Tryptych face off on screen.
Devastator is the original combiner Transformer and is comprised of 5 constructicon Decepticons. There have been many combiners since including Defensor and Superion. Devastator is Megatrons deadly weapon against the Autobots and is seen in the first three seasons of the Transformers cartoon as well as the animated movie. Devastator was also featured in the live action movie Revenge of the Fallen but looked radically different to his G1 counterpart. The G1 Devastator toy is made up from the five small green constructicons. Each constructicon transforms from a robot to a vehicle individually and joins together to become Devastator.
Unicron is the biggest of all the Transformers and is neither Autobot nor Decepticon. He transforms from a robot into a planet. He made his debut in the Transformers animated movie and was voiced by none other than Orson Welles. In the movie Unicron takes the nearly dead body of Megatron and turns him into Galvatron so that he can do his bidding. One toy of Unicron that I've seen is massive and stands at nearly two feet tall.
