Is the [[Summoner_(Thor)]] indeed the tallest ever built 'Mech? If yes, how tall is it actually, resp. where can I find this information? If no, which 'Mech instead can be considered the tallest?

::Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to get a definitive answer. Unlike weight, the height of 'Mechs isn't something consistently recorded or reported anywhere in canon. The best answer I can give you is that the general convention is that the heavier the weight of a 'Mech, the larger that 'Mech is (the third Gray Death Legion references Star League 'Mechs in storage, with smaller, lighter 'Mechs on the outside of a square or block, and 'Mechs getting larger and heavier closer to the center of the formation, with Assault 'Mechs towering over the others in the middle of the formation). On that basis, the largest 'Mech is probably one of the [[:Category:Superheavy_BattleMechs|Superheavy BattleMechs]] introduced in the Dark Age and late Jihad. The ''[[Omega (BattleMech)|Omega]]'' is described as standing half as tall again as a ''[[King Crab]]'', for example.
