Macromaster
From Transformers Wiki
Macromasters are "normal-sized" Transformers, larger and less fuel-efficient than Micromasters and post-Great Upgrade Transformers, though far smaller than Megamasters. They are sometimes pejoratively referred to by their smaller counterparts as "Guzzlers".

Micromasters would describe normal-sized Transformers as "guzzlers"; the term comes from the fact that normal-sized Transformers are much less fuel efficient than Micromasters. Though the term is accurate, it is also pejorative. Transformers: Micromasters

Hawk, a former Micromaster, referred to other Transformers as "guzzlers". Badlands
Beast Wars: Uprising
In the latter days of the Great War, energon supplies became so scarce that the vast majority of Macromasters could no longer move on their own, leading them to wire themselves into local networks in order to continue operating while immobile; rather than there being a stigma against immobility, the free-moving Micromasters were looked down upon as a manual class. Some Macromasters, including Double Punch, used exo-walkers to move themselves around. Identity Politics
At first, only Macromasters were allowed to serve on the Builder Assembly, Identity Politics but by the time of the Grand Uprising this restriction had been rescinded, with the Micromaster Riker serving on the Assembly. Broken Windshields
Chak mockingly suggested that the only positive outcome for the Cybertronians was a spontaneous outbreak of peace where "Maximal and Predacon, Autobot and Decepticon, Micromaster and Macromaster and Megamaster" set aside their differences... and in the process, inadvertently predicted the founding of Dinosaur City. Intersectionality
Most of the Macromasters ended up being converted by the Vehicon plague; Blackarachnia estimated that there were fewer than ten thousand left on the planet, with the majority of the surviving Builders being Micromasters. Derailment
Notes
- Until the release of "Head Games" in 2015 established "Macromaster", the only official term describing normal-scale Cybertronians was the informal "guzzler".
