You do realize that the Atlas is 27 meters in the game, and and the Cicada is somewhere around 11 meters in MWO?
The Clan mechs are running around as little shrimps.
Another fun thing, according to the TROs, the Timberwolf is supposed to fit 6 of those Elementals inside of it + have ammo + be able to mount jumpjets + have room for all of its servos + 200 boxes of ammunition for its MGs. It can't even fit 2 of them + the engine according to that scale.
The BT source material tells us that all 'Mechs are between 8 and 14 meters tall.
This would mean that the smallest 'Mechs (e.g. Flea, Locust) are around 8 meters (~26.25 feet) tall while the tallest 'Mechs (e.g. Atlas, Annihilator) are around 14 meters (~45.93 feet) tall.
In other words, the smallest 'Mechs (with hunched-over body types & not having their hands above their heads) are supposed to be just over half the height of the largest (upright body type) 'Mechs.
For MWO, the Atlas is ~17.6 meters (~57.74 feet) tall - a ~26% increase over the canonical height.
For MWO, the Centurion is ~14.7 meters (~48.23 feet) tall - a ~47% increase over the estimated canonical height.
If the Centurion were re-scaled relative to the Atlas (that is, 26% taller than its BT height), it would be on the order of 12.6 meters tall (the same as the current height of the MWO Cicada).
By contrast, if the Atlas were re-scaled relative to the Centurion (that is, 47% taller than its BT height), it would be on the order of 20.58 meters tall (about 17% taller than it is now).
It stands to reason that the Clan 'Mechs would be similarly scaled up (between 25% and 50% taller than their BT heights), which likely makes the MWO Masakari between 15.13 meters tall (slightly taller than a MWO Centurion) and 18.15 meters tall (slightly taller than a MWO Atlas).
