well their "fighter mode" is just no more larger than our common twin engine fighters(being mostly inspired by the F-14's swing wing) and in humanoid form, slightly bigger. They share almost everything, as seen from this video
note, those arnt really your traditional terbofan jet engine,
a somewhat detailed tranformation in the form of their figures
