Y'all have turned these into an art form. There are many who make these kind of size comparisons but this one really shows how above and beyond your channel is. Such a great amount of detail in the models and such a wide variety of sources. Really top quality here and you've outdone yourself.
It always left me perplexed that Mr Dyson has stopped to build those astonishing megastructures, solar system sized spheres, just to make vacuum cleaners.
Well have you ever tried to sell a Dyson Sphere? Not a lot of market I tell you. The Federation has no money, the Imperium spends too much on models and gold, the Forerunners have their own, the Culture don't want none, and the Xeelee why they just laugh in your face. Rude bastards they are. And where do you even put one? Lot of folks just don't have the space. Oh but a Dyson Ball now there's the ticket. Fits right in your closet, and whether its some lad with his first flat or robot maids cleaning an entire O'Neil cylinder everyone appreciates a good vacuum cleaner.
It also makes me appreciate the design that Pixar chose for the Axiom--it looks like a modern cruise ship, not just with its shaping, but also with how it dwarfs all the smaller ships.
What surprised me the most was Lexx with it's 10km. If you've seen the series, to me it didn't really appear that lange. Though granted, it was a long time ago and my memory is fading :)
@@jacksongaming854That's what @quantuminfinity4260 meant. The fact that this video got such a minute detail so right shows the amount of work that went into it.
That Xeelee Ring is ridiculous - the video kept zooming out more and more and I was wondering what in the heck anything could be built that's so much larger than a GALAXY, only to be met with THIS. Wow... we'd be like microbes to them... [And after reading about Baxter's "Xeelee Sequence" a bit... it seems we are troublesome microbes indeed!] It also warmed the coccles of my Trekkie heart to see so many Star Trek ships included. Bless you, laddie!
Yeah - I'm a big fan of the books and I was expecting one of the neutron stars or something but it kept zooming out and I gave up guessing... then I saw strands appearing and I just said "the Ring, of _course_ "... was so happy to be right :D
I love these videos. I look forward to them. I appreciate the real life ships as a reference and really love the range of sources. I know you can’t show everything. There are how many thousands of ships across all media…? I do wish you had included the Orville. That show is very entertaining. Looking forward to your next installment and THANKS!
Not the first time Earth itself has been turned into a starship. There was Stanley Schmidt's "Lifeboat Earth," which also involved Earth fleeing a cosmic catastrophe. And then there was Edmond Hamilton's "Thundering Worlds," which cranked everything up to eleven by having the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM (except the Sun) turned into a ginormous fleet of humungous starships ... that ends up in a DOGFIGHT WITH ANOTHER SUCH FLEET ...
@@davidwuhrer6704 Sadly Perry Rhodan is little known in the English world. I remember reading novels from the school library. Apparently Canada has more appreciation for international SF than most other places.
Yessss ! 👍👍👍 Ringworld is one of my favourite SF books for about 40/45 years. I do dream to see it adapted for cinema, especially since 2009 when Avatar has been released. Because now the SFX have reach such an achievement that it could be really astonishing. Actually, there's another book I'd really like to see as a movie : The Forever War, of Joe Haldeman. Back to the time I read it, I just saw a few months ago Rumble Fish and I always imagined William Mandella impersonated by Nicholas Cage, and Marygay Potter by Karen Allen, or second choice, possibly by Nancy Allen if she wasn't available.

@@rolandmine6693 Even so, compare it with his older videos. The models were uncolored and the environment was way simpler. Now we got full color, more models, and even real life cities for scale.
@@brodriguez11000 The same accounts for the Lexx and Vorlon ships, but the Moya from Farscape was missing …? A lot of biomechanic designs came about the same time when CGI allowed for it.
What a way to step up your game. :) The only sad part, for me, is the lack of Homeworld representation, but maybe that'll change when Homeworld 3 (finally) releases. I do love how you're almost telling a story at this point.
Fantastic seeing these ships up close and personal. The Tardis. The Falcon. The Halo. Only one complaint: nothing from Farscape? Moya, Command Carrier, Dreadnaught.
Fun to see some love for Buck Rogers with the Thunderfighter. And as a 40K fanboy it's good to know we're not always the most ridicilously oversized kid on the block! I half expected this vid to end with us zooming out from the galaxy and ending up in a marble like in the first or second Men In Black movie. "Marble: 1 inch diameter."
The Buck Rogers fighter, which has various names, is such a good-looking craft, better I think than other McQuarrie designs like the X-Wing Fighter or the Colonial Viper. Was interesting to see how many of the 'ridiculously oversized' ships come from games or cartoons (although I'll admit the very biggest were from serious novels).
Imagine the radio traffic between Space Battleship Yamato and the USS Enterprise. I cannot even begin to think what those crews would say to each other.
"Captain, there is a ship in front of us, it looks like an old japanese warship from the earths second world war." "Hail frequencies, Uhura. Let's see, if they are friends with Mr. Sulu" "This is the Yamato. Do you know how to get to the Magellan cloud?" "Yes, but there is a great barrier hindering us from getting there" "Don't worry, we have warp" "How long do you want to travel? We would need 100 years with Warp 13" "We plan to do the trip in 180 days maximum." Another ship arrives: "We are the Borg, we want to get your wave motion drive, it's even faster than our Transwarp" "Eat our Wave Motion Gun" Uses Gun "That was overkill. You destroyed the whole Unimatrix Zero" "Well, too bad. We have to go to Iscandar now. Bye"
We have a wave motion gun that can destroy an entire planet. Uh-huh. And we have a corbomite warhead which will destroy both of our ships if you even think about attacking us.
There are some to consider, like a Ketch or Cabal warship are some examples... Hi e tombships as well. Those are about as practical as you get before getting to said comically large vehicles lol
And are we supposed to call them starships when they have their own center of gravity? Borg still a ship, but the sizes got so ridiculous that they should be called starcity
These videos are so addictive; The graphics. The research that went into the size of every ship, etc. And, I really like how you combined fantasy ships and real-world ships.
Love that you not only reuploaded the video, but also improved it and added new ships! Imagine if this became a regular thing, adding new stuff from time to time! If so, I would love seeing you adding the Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy, it would be interesting seeing it in perspective compared to other ships
Could also add the actual island of Manhattan as it was domed, had a forcefield put around it, and was launched into space to travel the stars in the "Cities in Flight" set of stories/books by James Blish.
Yeah, this was really awesome that you added more! LOVED that you added Jimmy's small rocket from the JN movie, you're awesome for that!!! You could add the giant chicken ships from that movie, too; bet one of them would be about the size of the smaller Star Destroyer from Star Wars, and the transport chicken ship that carried the kids and the parents back to earth I imagine would be around half the size of the second Death Star... 😉 Just thought I'd throw that out there, being a huge fan of the show and all... 😆
I would have also liked to see Discworld, with Great A'Tuin and the 4 Elephants Brilia, Tubul, Jerakeen, and the Great T'Pon. The disk is huge, 10,000 miles and A'Tuin is even bigger!
I was glad they included V'Ger, but they missed out Yonada the hollowed-out asteroid generation ship from "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky" and thr titular planet killer in "The Doomsday Machine"
Agreed re: the V Mothership. I thought it was said that it was 3 mi across in the original mini series as they arrived (re-watching that and The Final Battle on Amazon, I own there), so I was getting pissed that it was overlooked...and, what do you know if that FIVE MILE SOB didn't plop down from out of the sky? I'm a happ(ier) guy, now...that is, until they serve me my bowl of crow! 🤣 Props to the video maker; this is great stuff! 👍🏻
Zooming from time to time on real references like the human on the Millenium Falcon and the planes is a really good idea. At a certain point it's hard to estimate the size compared to usual objects.
As an avid Star Wars, Halo, and StarCraft fan, this video made my little nerd heart sooo happy. And also props on including some of the lesser known things here as well. I was not expecting the Anodyne Spirit or Long Night of Solace to be on there, but hey references to my favorite franchise definitely earned a like from me. Also the music was totally awesome, congrats to everyone involved with this little slice of nerd heaven.
seeing StarCraft things to scale is actually really cool. There's a few mods that have everything to scale. Was really hoping to see Hyperion in the video or Gantrithor.
15:35 So happy to finally see the Dammerung be listed on one of these; easily one of my favorite ships in sci-fi, with the literal mega-city inside of it and the giant sonic cannons that it can fire.
As always, big shout-out to the camera man panning all the way out of the galaxy so we can see the Xeelee Ring. Steady hands even though it must have been quite brisk out there.
Have you ever included ships from Farscape on your videos? If you have I haven't seen it. Farscape has great ships. Crichton's module, Moya, Talyn, Peacekeepers, Scarrans, Luxans. Worth looking into including on your videos.
I love the way you use familiar items like people, aircraft & ships to give us a sense of scale; I also love how you use sometimes obscure vessels, like the human & alien ones from Titan A.E.! Also, did anyone watching the movie Oblivion actually believe the Tet was of human construction? The timeline implied it was built *after* the alien devastation...which had buried entire cities. I was suspicious the whole movie & was rewarded in the end. The sheer *size* of the thing -- as this video demonstrates -- demands a fully functional high tech industrial complex, not devastated infrastructure left from the Moon exploding!
@@Sirstas79 I think it'd be interesting to see one of these size comparison videos about the Lexx universe! Not just ships, but the assorted stations, Cluster (?), & giant insects!
Pretty sure the Tet was wholly alien in origin. (SPOILERS) but if I recall correctly, tom cruises mission was just to go to one of Jupiter's moons, and then they found the Tet while on route and investigated it. That's when the Tet pulled them in, cloned Tom Cruise and girl (can't remember her name), then invaded the Earth with an army of them.
@@beaglator That's the backstory that was eventually revealed. When all we had to go on was our 2 main characters, they believed the fiction that the Tet was a human colony ship taking on water in preparation to go settle another world. That's the timeline I had trouble with: the idea that humans built the thing to flee the devastated Earth! There was even a hint that I picked up on: if pre devastation Earth was really advanced enough to build the Tet, why were they using black&white video communication? High-tech housing for the maintenance worker & his companion, but b&w viewscreen. It didn't make sense.
It's actually very scary how tiny the International Space Station is. I don't mean in relation to the fictional ships, I mean compared to the buildings in the background.
@@tammycarmonadesign Pretty much. If we want to start exploring space more seriously, we need to build shipyards and material storage stations with long-term stable orbits, pulling materials from the asteroid belts, instead of from Earth.
@@RealNameNeverUsed Could use both. Space elevator for things that can't be found outside of Earth and solar-sail/rocket (return trip) drones for mining, processing and cargo haul of materials. As tech progresses, the "waste" could also be used, maybe as landfill for orbital habitats.
The thing is massive; it is a metal modular vehicle the size of an actual football field. I think it's a pretty monumental achievement of human ingenuity that we are able to to have built a structure of that scale that has stayed operational in low Earth orbit for decades. One piece at a time, in little modules that are shot up I to the sky by rockets using refined, ancient carcasses and swamp sludge for fuel. It is a mind-blowing accomplishment. But, uh, yeah... "scary". 🤷🏼
I love these size comparison videos. And you rendered every ship just like they are in their original source materials, even the Aurora from Subnautica being partially submerged in water. Absolutely amazing video.
Interesting. The Flight of the Navigator ship looks so small, but on reflection it did fit in quite a small hangar - it just always looks bigger to me in flight. One I wish you had included was Fireball XL5.
There were only 2 starships I wanted to see that I had doubts about seeing: Aurora from Subnautica and Atlantis from Stargate. Was not disappointed. Saw some starships that further pleasantly surprised me. Awesome video.
Excellent work, nice to see some of the more obscure entries in here. When the camera pulled out to a galactic scale, I honestly thought "This is going to be something Xeelee" and wasn't disappointed. Best video I've seen of it's type.
This is amazing, so glad you included so many things! Otherwise: 1) I was slightly hoping to see Gru's moon rocket from Despicable Me, but only because I have an inordinate love for that movie. 2) You could possibly argue for Earth to be included in Hitchhiker's Guide, as it is a supercomputer rather than a planet, but I'm glad it was included in another way. 3) I thought Spaceball I was a lot bigger! I suppose it's still comically larger than the star destroyers in existence when the movie was made, but Star Wars has made them bigger since then.

@@mrprotheroe4981 And you missed the Cylon basestar, Serenity (Firefly), Leviathans, Dreadnoughts and PK Command Carriers (to mention only the three most prominent in Farscape) and I'm sure hundreds more. I could name a dozen one-off ships in Doctor Who alone. All that proves is that there's a *huge* number of fictional ships that could be included, I think MetaBall did a fantastic job which must have involved tons of research and listing ones he missed is really rather invidious.
So glad to see the Expanse ships here. Such a fan of the Roci/Tachi. Would have been cool to see the USS Sulaco included but I get you probably only have so much time. I especially appreciate the Subscribe banner appearing at 6:54 - well played.
That Borq Cube is Terrifying ' Damn near 2 + miles long on each end ' along with that V ' visitor's ship , and the City Destroyer , from Independence Day ! Just massively Huge Ships !
As a Halo fan, I've always loved the Covenant ship High Charity that is home to several different alien species, and the Forerunners ability to make space stations larger than planets with their own biomes and ecosystems. Man I love scifi
What about the Xeelee Ring? An unimaginably colossal structure (the supposed Great Attractor that is _gobbling up galaxies)_ built by a god-like type IV civilization for the single purpose of *escaping an even more terrifying enemy in a losing war.*
Awesome video! I love scifi star ships. Amazed by the size comparison in relation to the stadium the city and the Earth itself as the Wandering Earth. Amazing. Thank you 😊
I love how some of the ships are hundreds or thousands of kilometers long but they still have detail like they're a high-rise building. The "windows" of the Dreadnought 16:19 are like the size of a city...
I was so happy when the Excellion, Eltreum and Buster Machine 3 were included. Also HOLY HELL Oryx's Dreadnaught is WAY bigger than I thought it was! It's the size of a country!!
It’s pretty cool how there are two sources for the size (the real comet in the intro cutscene and Saturn’s rings) and they’re both give almost the same size with maybe a ~100km Oryx’s ship is a thicc boy
Reminder that he made the Dreadnaught out of just 1 segment from the corpse of Akka, one of the worm gods. Imagine how big that fuckin worm must've been lol.
A.) Gorgeous choice for music B.) I can't believe you included ships from Gunbuster, SO cool! C.) AND the Ship of the Imagination from Cosmos, did NOT expect that. Though it would have been cool to see it show up twice, at its normal size AND its smallest microscopic size, it easily would've been the smallest ship on the list. D.) Sobering to find out the SDF-1 isn't even as big as a star destroyer, these vids do put these things into perspective E.) Well, now I have to look up Xeelee Ring because that thing is NUTS
In the novel _Ring_ (Stephen Baxter 1994) it's called Bolder's Ring after the first human to see it. What the Xeelee call it nobody knows, because they're famously enigmatic and uncommunicative -- but given its function, probably "Emergency Exit."
Despite the sizes of other stuff in this video, I never truly respected how huge a standard Imperial Star Destroyer really was until I saw how small metropolis buildings were beneath it and how many city blocks you could layer on top of one another before matching it's mass. The sheer number of people you can fit on that thing is insane. And that's a standard capital ship. I finally truly understand why people say the Executor is impractically huge. The work it takes to keep the factory building at my job functional is bad enough. The Executor though? And you're just gonna send that into the middle of a battlefield where it is THE prime target? 😅
That is basically how it played out. Turns out the entire ship could be crippled by one collision with the bridge. (I should point out that the only competent Imperial in the Star Wars universe, Thrawn, thought that the Executor was a terrible idea. And you should have heard what he had to say about the Death Stars.)
It was so crazy seeing ships and structures multiple kilometers in size and going "Woah, that's craaaaazy huge!" and then clicking the progress bar and seeing I'm only halfway through the video. Insane how big these fictional creations get.
Oh man, you included a Xeelee Ring? That's amazing! Honestly props to all the models in the video, and thank you for animating this! There are so many cool starships that I never thought I'd see here! Especially the anime ships, like White Base, the Space Battleship Yamato, and the Exelion.
You even included the Eltreum, the Sidonia, Dämmerung, and even the Cathedral Terra! The music and editing were great and helped sell the sense of scale the video was going for!
Brilliant that you’ve included the Jupiter Mining Corporation’s “Red Dwarf”, as it’s often gets left out in other ship size comparison videos. But, concerning the ship from Blake 7, you got it pointing backwards, as the green bulbous part is it’s engine, and the antennas faced the front.
Did you see the 3 objects that are from the game Destiny?? Well, two of those have the capacity to destroy entire solar systems! And the big white ball is a paracausal entity, strange I know, but that's the story
Mass Effect is one of my favorite video games of all time. Everytime the video showed a ship from the ME universe, I got a little nerd excitement. One thing... they have the Normandy SR-1, but they couldn't include the SR-2 for further comparison? I mean, the Normandy is a ship so nice, you see it twice!
Every new ship revealed brought cries of "oh wow! damn!" From my lips. This has got to be the best ship comparison ever! Ships old and new... Real life and blue... Most of them in my imagination, I flew...
I can barely connect a few lines in Paint, I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to make a production like this. My hat's off to you, thank you, and keep it coming! Awesome work!
I always wondered how large the almighty, dreadnaught, and leviathan were in relation to each other, honestly surprised how small the leviathan was in comparison
@@codnetzrollerThe leviathan always seemed massive because it was next to Nessus which a tiny planet. The Almighty was portrayed as much larger than Mercury which is larger than Nessus so, to me it makes sense that the both of these structures share roughly the same size. As for the Dreadnaught, it can be seen from far even tho it’s in the middle of the rings of Saturn which are massive so yeah. Everything seems pretty right to me regarding Destiny in this video
Small quibble: The "Imperial-I class Star Destroyer" you showed is actually an Imperial-II class. You can tell at a glance by the sensor bar on the top-center of the command tower. An Imperial-II has a low slung single-bar sensor array, while and Imperial-I has a much taller double-barred array with an 'X' shaped connecting structure between the bars.
I'm happy you didn't forget the underrated Stargate franchise! Would have loved to see more of it, like wraith motherships and all the daedalus and prometheus class spaceships, but I understand you can't put everything from every fandom out there. Awesome video!

@@DegeneragentX Now that you mention it... I'm in accord with ya. Still, gotta appreciate the variety this guy included in this video. In all honesty, though I don't really expect the franchise to be really iconic enough and thus be included in these popular trends. XBC3 did get nominated for GOTY a few weeks prior tho.
@@Clay3613 In one episode, during Matt Smith's run as the Doctor, they entered a room that contained a star as a power source. That's pretty big if you ask me. I don't quite remember the episode's title, but I think it was, "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS"
Awesome video guys (and ladies)!!! And eye opener 🙂I guessed Death Star would be the biggest. But I also thought Death Star was about the size of Earths Moon. But even then...... Thanks again for another great video.
@@Zorro9129 the first close up pictures of Mimas were taken by Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1980, 3 years after star wars was released, the fact it looks like the Death Star is a coincidence, nothing more.
It's actually impressive that the super star destroyer is twice as long as Spaceballs 1. I love the Spaceballs 1 because it's one of the few giant ships that you truly understand just how long it is because at the beginning of the movie they just kind of show off the whole ship and it takes at least three minutes to show the whole ship

I had heard that the Axiom was quite large, but seeing it in scale with other crafts I recognized really makes it seem enormous.
Yeah you don’t really get a good understanding of how big the axiom is in the movie until you see this
Dato curioso:el axioma es 3 veces más grande que el burj kalifa el edificio más alto del mundo
I love how as it pans over you get to see the Axiom and the teeny tiny little Enterprise-D in frame at once.
It also makes me appreciate the design that Pixar chose for the Axiom--it looks like a modern cruise ship, not just with its shaping, but also with how it dwarfs all the smaller ships.
What surprised me the most was Lexx with it's 10km. If you've seen the series, to me it didn't really appear that lange. Though granted, it was a long time ago and my memory is fading :)
Can we appreciate the attention to detail that Subnatutica's feature ship is the only one on the water?
That is why this channel is the best among all comparison channels.
Can we appreciate the...
I noticed that too (that the aurora was in the water)
Wait what really....ok yeah nice little detail.
If we really want to appreciate the attention to detail then the Bebop should be in the water too seeing as how the Bebop lands in the water
The Aurora being part way in the water is a great detail!
It’s actually like that in the game too
Agreed. The second I noticed that detail, I knew that this video was serious.
@@jacksongaming854That's what @quantuminfinity4260 meant. The fact that this video got such a minute detail so right shows the amount of work that went into it.
Dudes, she's from the Subnautica franchise, so why is it such a big surprise to see her in the water?
I mean the only time we saw the Aurora in-game was literally in the ocean. So it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't crashed

Tengen Toppa Dai-Gurren is bigger
No we wouldn’t, the structure is just that big, but they aren’t as big as the structure my guy
I'm late to this so I'm sure this will go unseen.. But.. the range of media, sources, and eras you have is impressive and appreciated. Awesome.
I love these videos. I look forward to them. I appreciate the real life ships as a reference and really love the range of sources. I know you can’t show everything. There are how many thousands of ships across all media…? I do wish you had included the Orville. That show is very entertaining. Looking forward to your next installment and THANKS!
yeah kudos for including blake's 7 and eve online
It’s funny you say unseen because this was the second comment that showed up for me
Issue with WHAT'S ALLOWED, CANON!!!
happy to see The Wandering Earth being regarded as a starship
same, whole earth as ship..
We are on it, and we need it to keep working .
Not the first time Earth itself has been turned into a starship. There was Stanley Schmidt's "Lifeboat Earth," which also involved Earth fleeing a cosmic catastrophe. And then there was Edmond Hamilton's "Thundering Worlds," which cranked everything up to eleven by having the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM (except the Sun) turned into a ginormous fleet of humungous starships ... that ends up in a DOGFIGHT WITH ANOTHER SUCH FLEET ...
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along."

Holy crap, adding the original Ringworld and the Xeelee ring is incredible!
I think some of Banks' Culture ships/orbitals should be included :D
For scale it would also be nice to see the hexagon transmitter from Perry Rhodan. (It is built from six suns.)
@@davidwuhrer6704 Sadly Perry Rhodan is little known in the English world. I remember reading novels from the school library. Apparently Canada has more appreciation for international SF than most other places.
I honestly started expecting/hoping it would have ended with Men In Black, the cat's collar Orion's Belt.
Yessss ! 👍👍👍
Ringworld is one of my favourite SF books for about 40/45 years. I do dream to see it adapted for cinema, especially since 2009 when Avatar has been released. Because now the SFX have reach such an achievement that it could be really astonishing.
Actually, there's another book I'd really like to see as a movie : The Forever War, of Joe Haldeman.
Back to the time I read it, I just saw a few months ago Rumble Fish and I always imagined William Mandella impersonated by Nicholas Cage, and Marygay Potter by Karen Allen, or second choice, possibly by Nancy Allen if she wasn't available.
Thank you for including "Red Dwarf"!! Always wondered about that one. So cool

The models are getting more and more detailed. I love it!
Yes
They are not his models lmao
Love it
@@rolandmine6693 Even so, compare it with his older videos. The models were uncolored and the environment was way simpler. Now we got full color, more models, and even real life cities for scale.
@@eurusw4455 True.
Happy that you included the expanse in this! Such an underrated series that doesn’t get enough attention
I can totally see someone who isn't familiar with Star Trek movies seeing the Whale Probe and being like, "Wait...what? Whale probe?"
Surprised V'ger was there since technically it could be considered a life form rather than a spacecraft/base.
@@brodriguez11000i mean they also put a leviathan in here.
@@brodriguez11000 The same accounts for the Lexx and Vorlon ships, but the Moya from Farscape was missing …?
A lot of biomechanic designs came about the same time when CGI allowed for it.
@@brodriguez11000 why is there a dyson sphere, thats not even a spaceship
@@krishm7812 Well you see, you build about five trillion warp nacelles, and attach them strategically around the sphere... 😛
What a way to step up your game. :) The only sad part, for me, is the lack of Homeworld representation, but maybe that'll change when Homeworld 3 (finally) releases. I do love how you're almost telling a story at this point.
Also I was kind of hoping of a small touch of the Swordfish II on the Bebop. :D
I would have loved some Iron sky
Better luck next time
How big was Sajuuk next to these things?
I also was waiting if the Banana would be there.
I was really glad to see all the classics like Wallace & Grommit, Gurren Lagan, and MIB included in the video. Great stuff!
Yea they didn't add some of the star trek ships but that's okay because that list would take forever lol
What's mib?
@@Solarwhale32Men In Black
Ratchet & Clank, too
And Dragon Ball.
Fantastic seeing these ships up close and personal. The Tardis. The Falcon. The Halo. Only one complaint: nothing from Farscape? Moya, Command Carrier, Dreadnaught.
Nore, the Cygnus from The Black Hole
Fun to see some love for Buck Rogers with the Thunderfighter. And as a 40K fanboy it's good to know we're not always the most ridicilously oversized kid on the block!
I half expected this vid to end with us zooming out from the galaxy and ending up in a marble like in the first or second Men In Black movie. "Marble: 1 inch diameter."
I was expecting a Blackstone fortress to appear, but seeing the Phalanx was alright, I guess.
or the gem on "orion's belt" ;)
Buck Rogers didn't have thunder fighters it had star fighters and Buck's was designated Starfighter #1314
The Buck Rogers fighter, which has various names, is such a good-looking craft, better I think than other McQuarrie designs like the X-Wing Fighter or the Colonial Viper.
Was interesting to see how many of the 'ridiculously oversized' ships come from games or cartoons (although I'll admit the very biggest were from serious novels).
I was expecting Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann again, since we got Cathedral Terra.
Imagine the radio traffic between Space Battleship Yamato and the USS Enterprise. I cannot even begin to think what those crews would say to each other.
"Don't make any sudden moves. Look at the SIZE of those things!"
"Captain, there is a ship in front of us, it looks like an old japanese warship from the earths second world war."
"Hail frequencies, Uhura. Let's see, if they are friends with Mr. Sulu"
"This is the Yamato. Do you know how to get to the Magellan cloud?"
"Yes, but there is a great barrier hindering us from getting there"
"Don't worry, we have warp"
"How long do you want to travel? We would need 100 years with Warp 13"
"We plan to do the trip in 180 days maximum."
Another ship arrives:
"We are the Borg, we want to get your wave motion drive, it's even faster than our Transwarp"
"Eat our Wave Motion Gun"
Uses Gun
"That was overkill. You destroyed the whole Unimatrix Zero"
"Well, too bad. We have to go to Iscandar now. Bye"
We have a wave motion gun that can destroy an entire planet.
Uh-huh. And we have a corbomite warhead which will destroy both of our ships if you even think about attacking us.
@@EdKolis ultimate borg answer
@@julianozaur444 Actually that was Kirk's bluff. He probably thinks the captain of the Yamato is bluffing about that wave motion gun!
Wow, this is the most comprehensive starship size comparison yet - and in color! Love how you mixed in some classic sci-fi music, too!
Destiny has some comically large vessels which is odd considering it has basically 0 small-medium size warships
There are some to consider, like a Ketch or Cabal warship are some examples... Hi e tombships as well. Those are about as practical as you get before getting to said comically large vehicles lol
It's all or nothing for them lmao
Great job on this video. This is basically the original video but improved in every way and with more starships included.
I get the feeling space has an e-peen problem.
And in colour!
5:58 love this shot of the original enterprise! small compared to the rest of the ships, but still massive compared to us humans
And are we supposed to call them starships when they have their own center of gravity?
Borg still a ship, but the sizes got so ridiculous that they should be called starcity
another trekkie!
Props to the camera person who flew beyond our galaxy to get that last epic shot 🙌🏻
Nobody flies into space... 😂
They use these little drones nowadays. 🤓
Im honestly surprised to see that they got everyone to get their ships together for this video.
Prups tu kamera person ho fluw biyon awer galaxsi to get det las epik sot 🙌
Overused and Cringe af joke.
@@Sumirevins You're overused and cringe af.
Amazing how the whole galaxy came together for this one video 😊
These videos are so addictive; The graphics. The research that went into the size of every ship, etc. And, I really like how you combined fantasy ships and real-world ships.
Love that you not only reuploaded the video, but also improved it and added new ships! Imagine if this became a regular thing, adding new stuff from time to time! If so, I would love seeing you adding the Comet Observatory from Super Mario Galaxy, it would be interesting seeing it in perspective compared to other ships
I was thinking that exact thing!
Could also add the actual island of Manhattan as it was domed, had a forcefield put around it, and was launched into space to travel the stars in the "Cities in Flight" set of stories/books by James Blish.
Yeah, this was really awesome that you added more! LOVED that you added Jimmy's small rocket from the JN movie, you're awesome for that!!! You could add the giant chicken ships from that movie, too; bet one of them would be about the size of the smaller Star Destroyer from Star Wars, and the transport chicken ship that carried the kids and the parents back to earth I imagine would be around half the size of the second Death Star... 😉 Just thought I'd throw that out there, being a huge fan of the show and all... 😆
I would have also liked to see Discworld, with Great A'Tuin and the 4 Elephants Brilia, Tubul, Jerakeen, and the Great T'Pon. The disk is huge, 10,000 miles and A'Tuin is even bigger!
Yes! I'd love to see ships from Star Fox as well
The star trek additions were great. The whale probe and the Dyson sphere. Loved it
I was glad they included V'Ger, but they missed out Yonada the hollowed-out asteroid generation ship from "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky" and thr titular planet killer in "The Doomsday Machine"
I just finished reading Flight of the Eisenstein, and seeing for myself just how massive the Phalanx is... dude, that's next level.
The SDF-1 and the mother ship from V are rarely mentioned these days and it brings a smile to my face to see them here.
Yes, me too, I liked seeing the SDF-1 Macross on the screen, but the cannon class that measures 5.5 km long from Macross II was missing
@@ExceedX3 Macross II isn't canon.
Agreed re: the V Mothership. I thought it was said that it was 3 mi across in the original mini series as they arrived (re-watching that and The Final Battle on Amazon, I own there), so I was getting pissed that it was overlooked...and, what do you know if that FIVE MILE SOB didn't plop down from out of the sky? I'm a happ(ier) guy, now...that is, until they serve me my bowl of crow! 🤣
Props to the video maker; this is great stuff! 👍🏻
My only nitpick about the SDF-1 is that we don't see her in humungous robot mode.
Wish some of the zentradea ships made it in here.
Zooming from time to time on real references like the human on the Millenium Falcon and the planes is a really good idea. At a certain point it's hard to estimate the size compared to usual objects.
The Aurora being partially submerged in the water was an S tier creative decision
Cant believe the Juggernaut is that small 😮
5:30:
😮Oh! I was waiting for The Normandy to appear, but I didn’t know it was actually That Big.
That was the SR1, too. The SR2 is even bigger lol
@@Shadow_of_Sundered_Star I’ve only played the first game. I’ll wait until the second to see it.
As an avid Star Wars, Halo, and StarCraft fan, this video made my little nerd heart sooo happy. And also props on including some of the lesser known things here as well. I was not expecting the Anodyne Spirit or Long Night of Solace to be on there, but hey references to my favorite franchise definitely earned a like from me. Also the music was totally awesome, congrats to everyone involved with this little slice of nerd heaven.
The star forge was also really cool
seeing StarCraft things to scale is actually really cool. There's a few mods that have everything to scale. Was really hoping to see Hyperion in the video or Gantrithor.
anyone noticed they called an ISD-II an ISD-I?
15:35 So happy to finally see the Dammerung be listed on one of these; easily one of my favorite ships in sci-fi, with the literal mega-city inside of it and the giant sonic cannons that it can fire.
As always, big shout-out to the camera man panning all the way out of the galaxy so we can see the Xeelee Ring. Steady hands even though it must have been quite brisk out there.
I'm sure they gave him a coat to wear while filming outside of our atmosphere... 🤣
Have you ever included ships from Farscape on your videos? If you have I haven't seen it. Farscape has great ships. Crichton's module, Moya, Talyn, Peacekeepers, Scarrans, Luxans. Worth looking into including on your videos.
Wondered that as well. Would have great to see Moya in this video.
I love the way you use familiar items like people, aircraft & ships to give us a sense of scale; I also love how you use sometimes obscure vessels, like the human & alien ones from Titan A.E.!
Also, did anyone watching the movie Oblivion actually believe the Tet was of human construction? The timeline implied it was built *after* the alien devastation...which had buried entire cities. I was suspicious the whole movie & was rewarded in the end.
The sheer *size* of the thing -- as this video demonstrates -- demands a fully functional high tech industrial complex, not devastated infrastructure left from the Moon exploding!
So glad to keep seeing The Lexx show up in these kind of videos
@@Sirstas79 I think it'd be interesting to see one of these size comparison videos about the Lexx universe! Not just ships, but the assorted stations, Cluster (?), & giant insects!
@@Sirstas79 There is no way it's that huge though.
Pretty sure the Tet was wholly alien in origin. (SPOILERS) but if I recall correctly, tom cruises mission was just to go to one of Jupiter's moons, and then they found the Tet while on route and investigated it. That's when the Tet pulled them in, cloned Tom Cruise and girl (can't remember her name), then invaded the Earth with an army of them.
@@beaglator That's the backstory that was eventually revealed. When all we had to go on was our 2 main characters, they believed the fiction that the Tet was a human colony ship taking on water in preparation to go settle another world. That's the timeline I had trouble with: the idea that humans built the thing to flee the devastated Earth!
There was even a hint that I picked up on: if pre devastation Earth was really advanced enough to build the Tet, why were they using black&white video communication? High-tech housing for the maintenance worker & his companion, but b&w viewscreen. It didn't make sense.
It's actually very scary how tiny the International Space Station is. I don't mean in relation to the fictional ships, I mean compared to the buildings in the background.
Well, it's expensive AF to send stuff to orbit... $ 10,000 per pound, approximately, with current technology.
@@tammycarmonadesign
Pretty much. If we want to start exploring space more seriously, we need to build shipyards and material storage stations with long-term stable orbits, pulling materials from the asteroid belts, instead of from Earth.
@@manictigerthe Space Elevator will help tremendously at that
@@RealNameNeverUsed
Could use both. Space elevator for things that can't be found outside of Earth and solar-sail/rocket (return trip) drones for mining, processing and cargo haul of materials. As tech progresses, the "waste" could also be used, maybe as landfill for orbital habitats.
The thing is massive; it is a metal modular vehicle the size of an actual football field. I think it's a pretty monumental achievement of human ingenuity that we are able to to have built a structure of that scale that has stayed operational in low Earth orbit for decades. One piece at a time, in little modules that are shot up I to the sky by rockets using refined, ancient carcasses and swamp sludge for fuel. It is a mind-blowing accomplishment. But, uh, yeah... "scary". 🤷🏼
I love these size comparison videos. And you rendered every ship just like they are in their original source materials, even the Aurora from Subnautica being partially submerged in water. Absolutely amazing video.
The aurora isn’t damaged sadly but that’s because of lore from the game but yeah in same position
Interesting. The Flight of the Navigator ship looks so small, but on reflection it did fit in quite a small hangar - it just always looks bigger to me in flight. One I wish you had included was Fireball XL5.
There were only 2 starships I wanted to see that I had doubts about seeing: Aurora from Subnautica and Atlantis from Stargate. Was not disappointed. Saw some starships that further pleasantly surprised me. Awesome video.
Shame it missed everything from the Culture novels, would have liked to see a GSV in the mix, plus they have rings like the ringworld one.
Almost wish that, when they got to the edge of the galaxy, they put : "maximum distance of a 7 chevron address (Stargate): one galaxy"
Im definitely missing Destiny from SGU.. thats such a beautiful ship.
@@mattc3581 i was hoping also Culture is slept on.
I saw that game-accurate sunken Aurora. Nice.
Excellent work, nice to see some of the more obscure entries in here. When the camera pulled out to a galactic scale, I honestly thought "This is going to be something Xeelee" and wasn't disappointed. Best video I've seen of it's type.
Can't believe someone finally included the Boov from Home, love that movie 16:06
Music was on point for this one!
It came together extremely well, this is such an improvement from the previous video overall!
Martin O’Donnell if my memories was right… what a awesome era Bungie for ever in our hearts
This is amazing, so glad you included so many things! Otherwise:
1) I was slightly hoping to see Gru's moon rocket from Despicable Me, but only because I have an inordinate love for that movie.
2) You could possibly argue for Earth to be included in Hitchhiker's Guide, as it is a supercomputer rather than a planet, but I'm glad it was included in another way.
3) I thought Spaceball I was a lot bigger! I suppose it's still comically larger than the star destroyers in existence when the movie was made, but Star Wars has made them bigger since then.

It can’t be that big, President Skroob ran across the entire thing, cuz if he had walked, the movie would be over.
@@mrprotheroe4981 And you missed the Cylon basestar, Serenity (Firefly), Leviathans, Dreadnoughts and PK Command Carriers (to mention only the three most prominent in Farscape) and I'm sure hundreds more. I could name a dozen one-off ships in Doctor Who alone.
All that proves is that there's a *huge* number of fictional ships that could be included, I think MetaBall did a fantastic job which must have involved tons of research and listing ones he missed is really rather invidious.
@Mr. Blitz if he did, his head would be on backwards.
Earth in the Guide is still a planet, though. Just one designed to work as a supercomputer.
16:45 "Earth is a startship?"
"Always has been."
Amazing video! :D
The movie,The wandering earth humans turned earth into a spacecraft the size of,well,itself
So glad to see the Expanse ships here. Such a fan of the Roci/Tachi. Would have been cool to see the USS Sulaco included but I get you probably only have so much time. I especially appreciate the Subscribe banner appearing at 6:54 - well played.
That Borq Cube is Terrifying ' Damn near 2 + miles long on each end ' along with that V ' visitor's ship , and the City Destroyer , from Independence Day ! Just massively Huge Ships !
As a Halo fan, I've always loved the Covenant ship High Charity that is home to several different alien species, and the Forerunners ability to make space stations larger than planets with their own biomes and ecosystems. Man I love scifi
Well if you are going to invade you got to do it with style and be intimidating, so size always counts hehe.
@@jameswatson5807 But in Independence Day the mothership was destroyed by a tiny two man ship. So maybe it is how you use it!
@@nonconsensualopinion That was just dumb luck, the aliens had the upper hand from the get go.
What about the Xeelee Ring? An unimaginably colossal structure (the supposed Great Attractor that is _gobbling up galaxies)_ built by a god-like type IV civilization for the single purpose of *escaping an even more terrifying enemy in a losing war.*
13:00 thanks for the interstellar music. It gives me tears every time. In a good way
At the end, when you did the massive zoom out, I thought you were doing the galaxy in a marble from Men in Black.
Awesome video! I love scifi star ships. Amazed by the size comparison in relation to the stadium the city and the Earth itself as the Wandering Earth. Amazing. Thank you 😊
I love how some of the ships are hundreds or thousands of kilometers long but they still have detail like they're a high-rise building. The "windows" of the Dreadnought 16:19 are like the size of a city...
At that scale, even earth does have windows/dots at the size of a city
@@Dawn-Shade ok mr pedant. Actually, Earth does not have perfectly square, evenly arrayed, and evenly lit "windows" of this size.
Each of those windows is more like a hole into a significant area of ship, although it really doesn't look that big in game...
I was so happy when the Excellion, Eltreum and Buster Machine 3 were included.
Also HOLY HELL Oryx's Dreadnaught is WAY bigger than I thought it was! It's the size of a country!!
Only Bungie bro think someone need a ship that size
@@lightninggaming016 Consider the fact that Oryx's Throne World is his ship as well
@@rithvikmuthyalapati9754 That, and it's crafted from the dead body of Akka, his worm god
I think Exelion is a solar system killer and Buster Machine 3 is a galaxy killer. You just mentioned the ones that can punch _far_ above its weight.
I had no idea that Orxy’s Dreadnaught was that massive, that & I’ve never really known how big the Nemesis was
It’s pretty cool how there are two sources for the size (the real comet in the intro cutscene and Saturn’s rings) and they’re both give almost the same size with maybe a ~100km
Oryx’s ship is a thicc boy
Reminder that he made the Dreadnaught out of just 1 segment from the corpse of Akka, one of the worm gods.
Imagine how big that fuckin worm must've been lol.
Finally seeing stargate stuff in one of these videos is such a nice feeling
There's a few things that I'm sad didn't get included, namely a Starfleet Shuttle, DS-9, and a Firefly Class.
Yeah, I missed the Serenity too :(
I'd like to see the Orville!
I was hoping for a Viper from Battlestar and the Sulaco from Aliens.
Add anything from Starfox to the list of stuff that didn't get included, along with the Lor Starcutter and Access Ark from Kirby.
Sad there wasnt an Ark to compliment the Nemesis.
A.) Gorgeous choice for music
B.) I can't believe you included ships from Gunbuster, SO cool!
C.) AND the Ship of the Imagination from Cosmos, did NOT expect that. Though it would have been cool to see it show up twice, at its normal size AND its smallest microscopic size, it easily would've been the smallest ship on the list.
D.) Sobering to find out the SDF-1 isn't even as big as a star destroyer, these vids do put these things into perspective
E.) Well, now I have to look up Xeelee Ring because that thing is NUTS
Yes
In the novel _Ring_ (Stephen Baxter 1994) it's called Bolder's Ring after the first human to see it. What the Xeelee call it nobody knows, because they're famously enigmatic and uncommunicative -- but given its function, probably "Emergency Exit."
Despite the sizes of other stuff in this video, I never truly respected how huge a standard Imperial Star Destroyer really was until I saw how small metropolis buildings were beneath it and how many city blocks you could layer on top of one another before matching it's mass. The sheer number of people you can fit on that thing is insane. And that's a standard capital ship.
I finally truly understand why people say the Executor is impractically huge. The work it takes to keep the factory building at my job functional is bad enough. The Executor though? And you're just gonna send that into the middle of a battlefield where it is THE prime target? 😅
That is basically how it played out. Turns out the entire ship could be crippled by one collision with the bridge. (I should point out that the only competent Imperial in the Star Wars universe, Thrawn, thought that the Executor was a terrible idea. And you should have heard what he had to say about the Death Stars.)
WOW! You even included the Earthship ARK from The Star Lost. Nicely done...
It was so crazy seeing ships and structures multiple kilometers in size and going "Woah, that's craaaaazy huge!" and then clicking the progress bar and seeing I'm only halfway through the video. Insane how big these fictional creations get.
Oh man, you included a Xeelee Ring?
That's amazing! Honestly props to all the models in the video, and thank you for animating this!
There are so many cool starships that I never thought I'd see here! Especially the anime ships, like White Base, the Space Battleship Yamato, and the Exelion.
You even included the Eltreum, the Sidonia, Dämmerung, and even the Cathedral Terra!
The music and editing were great and helped sell the sense of scale the video was going for!
Yes
Brilliant that you’ve included the Jupiter Mining Corporation’s “Red Dwarf”, as it’s often gets left out in other ship size comparison videos. But, concerning the ship from Blake 7, you got it pointing backwards, as the green bulbous part is it’s engine, and the antennas faced the front.
We're looking at it in a rear three-quarter view, it's bow-in to the city
@AndreiTupolev:
Then why is the Starship Enterprise, which is right next to it, facing the other way?
better than I thought. Fun video!
Thank you for including the Heart of Gold from the BBC television version of Hitchhiker's Guild to the Galaxy, cica 1981.
Just rewatched that for the first time since it originally aired on PBS in the US!
I don't think I ever realized just how big some of these ships are. Especially the Mass Effect ones! This video is fantastic
Did you see the 3 objects that are from the game Destiny?? Well, two of those have the capacity to destroy entire solar systems!
And the big white ball is a paracausal entity, strange I know, but that's the story
Mass Effect is one of my favorite video games of all time. Everytime the video showed a ship from the ME universe, I got a little nerd excitement. One thing... they have the Normandy SR-1, but they couldn't include the SR-2 for further comparison? I mean, the Normandy is a ship so nice, you see it twice!
@@khaleesireyna731 how big is the SR-2???
@@augustofedigatti1580 216 meters (~709 ft) in length. Compared to SR-1s 170m (~560 ft) in length.

Every new ship revealed brought cries of "oh wow! damn!" From my lips. This has got to be the best ship comparison ever! Ships old and new... Real life and blue...
Most of them in my imagination, I flew...
16:12 i was waiting for that to show up! Home is a great movie 10/10!!!
Thanks for including Rama. I really liked the series. 😊
Me at 17:13: "How cool would it be if it zoomed out to the Dyson Sphere."
17:25:
Wow, this is the best episode you've ever made, mega props! The production quality is beyond fantastic!
I always pictured the Ishimura to be much larger. Seeing as it basically sets down on planets and mines them out.
I like this a lot more than the newer version -- Space Craft Sizes Seen in First Person.
Happy to see the Sidonia get some recognition. It's easily one of my favorites mecha series.
I would also recommend you Gunbuster, some of the ships appeared on the video as well,
It's a great anime, only 6 episodes
You included movies I haven't thought about in years! And I love that you included Wallace & Gromit's ship and the Heart of Gold. Loved it!
I can barely connect a few lines in Paint, I can't even begin to imagine what it takes to make a production like this. My hat's off to you, thank you, and keep it coming! Awesome work!
4:28 glad to see you included thunderbird 3, great show
I totally love the Star Forge being here. So much nostalgia towards KOTOR ; - )
I always wondered how large the almighty, dreadnaught, and leviathan were in relation to each other, honestly surprised how small the leviathan was in comparison
I was thinking theleviathan should be way bigger than almighty and dreadnought
@@codnetzrollerThe leviathan always seemed massive because it was next to Nessus which a tiny planet.
The Almighty was portrayed as much larger than Mercury which is larger than Nessus so, to me it makes sense that the both of these structures share roughly the same size.
As for the Dreadnaught, it can be seen from far even tho it’s in the middle of the rings of Saturn which are massive so yeah.
Everything seems pretty right to me regarding Destiny in this video
Small quibble: The "Imperial-I class Star Destroyer" you showed is actually an Imperial-II class. You can tell at a glance by the sensor bar on the top-center of the command tower. An Imperial-II has a low slung single-bar sensor array, while and Imperial-I has a much taller double-barred array with an 'X' shaped connecting structure between the bars.

NERRRDDDD
Good eye for detail 👌
I'm happy you didn't forget the underrated Stargate franchise! Would have loved to see more of it, like wraith motherships and all the daedalus and prometheus class spaceships, but I understand you can't put everything from every fandom out there. Awesome video!
¡EPICAZO VÍDEO! Mis más profundos respetos y admiración por el enorme esfuerzo detrás de estos relativamente breves pèro intensos minutos de viaje MARAVILLOSO. ¡FELIZ año nuevo Maestro!FELICITACIONES.🔬🛠🎥❤👍🚀😀🇦🇷
Was not anticipating the Dammerung from Xenosaga to be here, that's pretty cool. Huge fan of the Xeno games.
It's inclusion made me weep for the Elsa von Brabant and the Durandal's exclusion.
@@DegeneragentX Now that you mention it... I'm in accord with ya. Still, gotta appreciate the variety this guy included in this video. In all honesty, though I don't really expect the franchise to be really iconic enough and thus be included in these popular trends. XBC3 did get nominated for GOTY a few weeks prior tho.
Funny how despite being one of the smallest ships, it has the capacity to house everything up to and including Installation 00. :)
The What?
@@mattcollins5974 Silly me, I forgot to mention that it was the TARDIS🤣
@@dfalhfgljkgfljhgfljh The TARDIS was never shown to be massive inside though, usually only a couple of rooms despite dialogue saying otherwise.
@@Clay3613 In one episode, during Matt Smith's run as the Doctor, they entered a room that contained a star as a power source. That's pretty big if you ask me. I don't quite remember the episode's title, but I think it was, "Journey to the Center of the TARDIS"
@@dfalhfgljkgfljhgfljh if I recall the TARDIS once held an entire galaxy inside of it too
I watching this almost 100000 Time 😭😭😭😭😭
I love Your video anyway!
Awesome video guys (and ladies)!!! And eye opener 🙂I guessed Death Star would be the biggest. But I also thought Death Star was about the size of Earths Moon. But even then...... Thanks again for another great video.
That's no moon...
@@michaelogden1968 Who sais it is?
@@smangy5442 I know... I was wrong. But always thought they were similar sizes :)
Much more similar to Saturn's moon Mimas, which the Death Star was modeled off!
@@Zorro9129 the first close up pictures of Mimas were taken by Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1980, 3 years after star wars was released, the fact it looks like the Death Star is a coincidence, nothing more.
It's actually impressive that the super star destroyer is twice as long as Spaceballs 1. I love the Spaceballs 1 because it's one of the few giant ships that you truly understand just how long it is because at the beginning of the movie they just kind of show off the whole ship and it takes at least three minutes to show the whole ship
10:53 a su derecha tenemos a nueva york, a su izquierda pueden ver la unsc infinity aterrizando, diganles hola y tomen fotos
Thanks for adding Gunbuster vessels. Loved that anime 👏
with all the different ages and genres, i was surprised the "Gunstar" from 'The Last Starfighter' wasnt in there. :/
I thought the same.
Also Centauri’s car was pretty cool, too.
Were these the first actual CG spaceships?
@@lawrencedoliveiro9104 Yes they were. When The Last Starfighter came out, they made a very big deal out of that fact.
I didn't see battle star Galactica ether
@@deewilliams9795 At about the 8:15 mark it is there. It is the one from the newer series.
They missed cybertron lol yup dated.
The stargate additions made me happy 👍 an ori warship would be neat if you ever do another one of these.
And an actual Stargate as well - even if it's a Pegasus-galaxy 'space gate' if terrestrial installations are excluded.
I miss the Prometheus 😉
@@christianschmidt661 Not to mention: BC-304, F-302, O'neill class, Ha'Tak, Aurora class...etc.
I would have liked to see a Wraith Hive ship, and at least the Daedalus.
Awesome that you added Tintin’s rocket 👍🏻 One of my favorites as a child
I'm glad that Spaceball 1 was included. 11:50
Yeahh
but I’m a _little_ disappointed I never saw Megamaid
Loving this updated 3D comparison! Thanks :-D
I too, Its better then me
