I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this or not, but it is related to the show...isn't it? ' ';

Anyway, that's something that's bugged me for a while now.
I've lately been searching frantically for at least the height for T-Bone, and Razor, but to no avail.
Tonight though, I stumbled upon something that revealed their heights, but they seemed...a bit tall in my opinion.
T-Bone being 6' 11", and Razor standing at 5' 9".
If that height was accurate, then if I'm thinking right, the average height for Kats would be taller than humans.(That's why I'm kinda skeptical about this info.)
The site I found that info from was Giant's Swat Kat Universe.
But I'm pretty sure that a few years ago I found height for several of the SK characters, and T-Bone and Razor weren't quite that tall. :/

So, if anyone could help un-confuse me, I'd appreciate it. ^ ^;

Well, first of all, i dont do inches and stuff (That's right, im a meter user!). So lets say a cat is around 20-30 cm high (ground to upper back). But then again swat kats characters is walking upstraight, which would make them like 45-70 cm high (as they walk). A normal heighted human (in sweden since i do not know middle heights in other countrys) is around 177-181 roughly rounded to 179 cm. This is 5' 10.5" (according to a converter which i have no idea if it did the correct convert). That would indeed make the cats very big. If we try to look at this scientificly it could be very possible (since they dont have to be pet-cats but they can be a wild "predatorish" cat, lets say a tiger or so). But if we look at it through the eyes of someone that watches the series, one could suppose the cats in megakat city grows differently from our cats at "earth?".

I looked up the average height around the world on wikipedia, which stated that the highest average height was in Greece, where the mens average height were 6' 6", so if t-bone is "only" 6' 11'' that would certainly make them higher than humans.

Then again, we can only measure them from the proportion acording to objects we see in the series, for example how tall they are in proportion to a car, helicopter, door, building etc etc. But if they were as tall as your source states, they would be, and that if they were they would be taller than humans, then how **** tall is feral and dark kat ?

Sorry if i only confused you even more with my half-good english, but this is my thoughts around it

It's okay, I understood what you were saying. But wow, that's a bit hard to grasp for me right now. O O;
I appreciate the help though, thanks Bob. ^w^

And as odd as it sounds if that was correct, I would think Dark Kat and Feral would be taller than/as tall as Zangief from Street Fighter.(And he's 7'0") ^ ^;

In my oppinon, I'd have to say that their heights are as follows. It just seems more real life and accurate to me.

Chance/T-Bone: 5' 11"
Jake/Razor: 5' 6"
Commander Feral: 6' 0"
Dark Kat: 6' 5"

That does seem more realistic, so it could work.
Thanks for the input Cody. ^w^

You know, my brother and I have been thinking recently.
We can speculate all we want, but the only ones that would know for sure would be the creators of the series.
The only thing is, that there's probably no way of getting in touch with them, so there that thought goes down the drain. ' ';

No problem, glad I could be of some help, it always bothered me why the creaters never put out a full bio on them.

Same here. It's boggled my mind since I got old enough to think about height, and that stuff. DX

Yeah..... Height, weight, age, birth place, what schools they went to, parents, all that good stuff.

Most definitely. That would have been good stuff to know. ^ ^;

I don't think so. All these objects would have it's size adjusted to the usual height of the kats, so it may not be accurate.

Y'know, I just thought of that the other day too. o O;

I decided to try asking Christian Tremblay on their main site, but I haven't gotten an answer yet.(And I'm thinking I won't - -; )
..Maybe I shouldn't have bothered emailing him, but I got kinda desperate.
Oh well, I guess I'll never get a definite answer. Thanks anyway though guys, and sorry for putting you to any trouble. ^ ^;

Weren't they trying to bring the show back? I think they failed. ='-_-=

That's especially true in Razor's case. In the model sheets, Dr. Zyme is taller than him. Not by much but by a couple of inches. I'd say this was due to Razor seeming to crouch a little, which would diminish his height, but either way, here he's shorter than everyone's favorite geeky biochemist.

I think it might help in looking at this from a biological standpoint.

In our history our ancestors were arboreal apes. Five million years ago, when Africa started changing from rainforest to savannah, they became upright.

What would evolution look like in the Swat Kats-verse? For starters it could be assumed that what happened to our ancestors was probably what happened to the Kat's ancestors.

So the equivalent of arboreal ancestors might resemble the striger from After Man. Obviously they are going to be predatorial and they might be larger than their prey. Depending on how large their prey was, I wouldn't be surprised that the modern Kat is roughly human sized.

I'm going to go with a human size chart here and say they range within that. Gosh to think if Chance was 6'11' what would Feral be? Jolly Green Giant size.
