Title: which character weighs more?
Post by: landbeforetimelover on April 19, 2007, 11:49:27 PM
I know that spike eats a lot more food than the others but the food they eat is not very fattening.  What do you think?

It's almost certainely Spike. Fattening or  not, he still eats a LOT more than the others.

Definitely, Spike. BTW, there should be a section for lbtlover to post too much forums. What do you say, Petrie?

I'm 95 percent sure it's Spike.

Well, Littlefoot is older and larger than Spike, plus he will outweigh most of his friends combined when he is fully grown (if not for Chomper's return, he probably would outweigh all of them combined.)

I found this searching for a specific thread and I gotta say...

I think they're all the weight of foam or wood... they seem to float in water even though they're most likely pure muscle to survive XD

At present, Spike is probably the heaviest, but eventually, Littlefoot will outweigh almost all of them put together, and will probably need a more fitting name.

It's odd how Littlefoot is supposed to be the biggest, and that Littlefoot was, in fact, born earlier than Spike, but that the general consensus is that Spike weighs more. Of course, mass and dimensions are certainly no good indicators of weight, but still.... I guess it's like how kangaroo babies are born ridiculously small and then grow into their parent's image and size.

Spike eats more, so maybe he grows faster.

Spike is almost always seen eating, so naturally right now he would weight the most, however when Littlefoot is fully grown...well he won't be so little anymore, and again outweigh all his friends.

I think I recall Spike as a little stronger then Littlefoot, for now at least, so he may weight more.  It could be in the LBT universe that spiketails grow faster then longnecks, at first perhaps.  Eventually Littlefoot will be far larger, but maybe not at this time.

Did you realize how Spike's size multiplied in the first few seconds after his birth? I think that at the end of his hatching scene he ended up four or five times (possibly more) the size he must have had the moment of the hatching.

I noticed that.  I guessed they did that since Spike may not have been able to keep up with the large Littlefoot and Cera, and was to big to ride on one of their backs like Ducky and Petrie could do, so they sorta did a poof he's their size.  Though they should have come up with a better solution.  Maybe something like finding him sorta like Ducky found  Littlefoot, and they found Petrie.

In LBT 5, of the large dinos, Littlefoot got out of the crack in the log the easiest, Cera had some trouble, and Spike got stuck! :lol Littlefoot is probably currently the lightest of the three.

Weight does not determine if something floats or not.

Fully grown, Littlefoot.

As of right now, Spike.

No kidding.  A 400 pound dead man who was murdered was found floating in the water by sailors.  And 50 ton (100,000 pound) navy ships float on water.

that's why I think they must be made of foam or balsa, they're very buoyant, and muscle isn't so buoyant

not all wood is light, it's just more buoyant than muscle is

It is the ratio of weight and volume that determines whether or not anything will float or not. A cubic meter of wood or human weighs less than the cubic meter of water the wood or human would displace when put into water. Therefore the wood or the human would be floated to the surface. A cubic meter of Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, or Spike would weigh less than a cubic meter of water, but they certainly wouldn't be as light as foam or balsa or they would be incapable of doing a lot of things we've seen them doing in the sequels.

Hello:
 All organisms are make of some degree of water, that also helps us to float if we know how to do it.
 As for weight, I think Spike is the winner now, he is always eating and all the rest of the gang must gather to push Spike while in troubles (cliffs for example)

Spike is a walking trash-disposal. If something goes in his mouth it's not coming out that same entrance.

I think it is Spike at the present. He just looks so much more heavily built than the others and the fact that he can basically obliterate food just reinforces that.

As adults, Littlefoot will definately outweigh all the others.

As for lightest, Petrie and then Ducky.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on January 25, 2008, 09:06:43 PM
In "The Big Freeze" Spike was the only one who broke through the ice at the end.

After that, I'd vote Cera, since in LBT 5 during the locust plague Littlefoot and Ducky ran inside the log but Cera tried and got stuck.

Disclaimer on LB&T's statement: females are wider at the hips :rolleyes:.  Spike is definitely the biggest.  When they're adults, LF will be the heaviest, followed by Spike then Cera as she is the petite one of the three.

Definitely Spike. If we compare him with other characters, he eats at least fourfold more green food than others. :)

I don't think that applies to dinosaurs too much.

Touche :slap.  Still, that was LBT 5.  In the TV series, Spike gets stuck in a hole Cera was able to fit through comfortably.

What the hell was up with that?!!! (Yes, as good as the original was, it has it's flaws.) Obviously something happened in the bushes they didn't want us to see This is such an obvious---yet practically no one seems to notice it.

There's no saying he couldn't, so they didn't need to amp up his size all of a sudden...but there is a better solution, a really awesome solution, an amazing solution...

Quote
Though they should have come up with a better solution. Maybe something like finding him sorta like Ducky found Littlefoot, and they found Petrie.

Yes---if they'd just found him born and their freaking age, not only would that entirely solved this problem, but it really would have made the gang seem more...I don't know, equal!! Which would make every scene between them hereafter---the footprint scene, the group hug, etc. etc. etc., all the more touching!! I always saw Spike as "the big guy" of the gang and not "the big baby"...I tell you, that would have worked so much better, I mean the sequels, nor the rest of the film after Spike is born, give any indication that Spike is like, 5 years younger then the rest. Who knows what went on in the bushes?


For more discussion on it, see my "Born this way?" topic.

Anyone? Besides what is even the point of this topic? Why do people want to know which character weights more?

(Though I guess I make some weird topics so I shouldn't be so critical)

But it's leaves, people...whether he eats a lot or not he shouldn' be as fat as people who eat vending machine stuff

That's dumb! Of course he could keep up, he wasn't that much smaller then them!!

Yes...yessssss...YESSSSSSSS!! I wanted that!! I wanted him born and their freaking age!!!

But he is their age after about 30 seconds...isn't he?

Post by: Littlefoot Fan 93 on March 16, 2013, 05:43:58 AM
I think it would be Littlefoot because when you look at when they are fully grown, Spike would only weigh 3,500kg, Cera 8,000 - 9,000kg and Littlefoot would weigh up to 28,000kg. So who do you think would be heavier based on percentage of their adult weight? :exactly
Title: which character weighs more?
Post by: jansenov on March 16, 2013, 07:56:39 AM
Littlefoot is below the longneck average size for his age,  as can be seen from his talks with Cera and with his grandparents in 11.
Title: which character weighs more?
Post by: StrutEggStealer on March 16, 2013, 08:38:19 AM
I vote Littlefoot - he is taller than the rest of the Gang, and stronger. IDK, Spiketails, which they do eat a lot, won't grow to be as massive as longnecks. Just my thoughts :)
Title: which character weighs more?
Post by: Ducky123 on March 16, 2013, 09:32:41 AM
I voted for Spike since he's the most massiv looking character of the gang. AND he eats a lot  :lol

I just had to got with Spike what with him eating half the time, and in the 10th film when he rolls over onto Ducky she sinks into the ground and bends her beak.

Maybe that's why he eats a lot more. Perhaps his body is craving something that treestars aren't satisfying it with.
