- Colossus Rhodes is a human character from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Cyrus "Colossus" Rhodes is a bio-tech enhanced human who works for Prometheus Black. He seems to have issues over being rather small and frail. So he uses the enhancements to transform into a giant that's as big as Bulkhead.
That's pretty fragging big.
