Can you imagine playing Rugby against Atom? I don't know about you but I don't want to be tackled by a 100,000 horsepowered robot XD


Oooh I can image!!!! Lf Atom was playing in rugby, I wonder what perstion he would be. He could be defender or a wing. But....lf he's super strong using 100,000hp, I think he could break a bone of a person everytime he tackles. O.o

I hope they have extra extra small tshirts through. -_-'

Looks like they also made Atom a member of the team as well! As there's 23 players on the team, they made #24 Atom! Guess the other team will just have to forfeit since they have no chance against him. :lol:

If you're curious as to what those measurements are in US units, he's a little taller than 4' 5'' and weighs a little more than 66 pounds.

Huh. Isn't he usually said to be just under four feet? Then again, the canon veracity of this information is dubious at best, unless they got this from some kind of official source.

After researching a little bit, it seems that it's generally accepted that his height is 135 centimeters and 30 kilograms, which is about 4' 5'' and about 66 pounds. I found this image while searching in Japanese for his height:

As you can see on the bottom left, Atom's name and height are mentioned. The picture was taken at the Osamu Tezuka World Entertainment Square in the Tokyo Opera City building.

I believe there's at least one or two literary sources that confirm that height and weight as well, though I'm not sure.

Perhaps I should make a thread about this.

His weight was mentioned in the 2003 series, I know that much; that time when he snuck on board a shuttle, and they somehow could register the extra weight.

Somehow I think Atom would be playing on the offense side of the team, so I'd pitty the guys playing defense trying to tackle HIM!

No problem on the T shirt size Dragonrider, just order 'Sumo' size :-) [/QUOTE]
LOL didn't know "sumo size" was a thing
