I've recently re-read both stories that can be found in The Ultimate Guide and my attention immeadietly flew to the most unimportant things during both leadership ceremonies of Tigerstar I and his son Bramblestar, which was if any cat had been mentioned towering above either of them although Lionheart was really the only one described as being taller than Bramblestar.
It has been stated that all of The Sisters are bigger than him as well and his father is obviously described to also be so, on multiple occasions.
Are there any other cats that have outgrown the OG Tigerstar and his kin?

Bone is said to be pretty massive. Don't know his size comparison to Tigerstar, though.

Bone is said to be pretty massive. Don't know his size comparison to Tigerstar, though. Darkest Hour specifically says Bone is almost as big as Tigerstar. Besides The Sisters, I think the only one could be Crookedstar as he is described as massive and Fireheart notices him to be even larger than Lionheart in Into the Wild. Although I think the later books don't seem to emphasize his size as much as Tigerstar's. I also believe Tigerstar is a little larger than Bramblestar. I believe Leafpool swore she saw Tigerstar next to Bramblestar in one of the scenes (maybe Dark Forest spirit) as a larger or more muscled version of Tigerstar, but my memory might not be serving me right lol.

there was a scene in tigerclaw's fury where tigerclaw notices that blackfoot is just as big as he is, and given tigerstar's early death i feel like it's possible that blackstar outgrew him at some point
also i think crookedstar is but that's a headcanon and i don't have any evidence for it

Crookedstar is a likely candidate for it and the Sisters definitely are larger. Jacques is said to be pretty big as well and he overpowered Brambleclaw for a time, he might be a possibility. There's a couple of large kittypets really that show up and give warriors beatings every now and then that I could see matching Tigerstar in mass if nothing else.

The Sisters and Blackstar probably. It's pointed out multiple times how big the Sisters are and Blackstar's body size would have to match his paw size.

Is Lionblaze not about the same size? I imagine him to be massive
Which is funny because neither of his parents are particularly big

I think Firestar mentioned during a battle with RiverClan that Crookedstar was bigger than Tigerstar. I also like to think that Blackstar and Bone are as big as they are, if not bigger.

I also like to think that Blackstar and Bone are as big as they are, if not bigger. from what I remember fireheart kinda said he thought crookedstar would win possibly implying larger size, but didn't directly state it. Not sure if you had the passage somewhere to see.

Not sure if you had the passage somewhere to see. No, it was the other way around. Crookedstar was getting his butt kicked. "Where was Crookedstar? Fireheart searched the clearing for the RiverClan leader. It wasn’t hard to find him. Now that ShadowClan had run away, the clearing was less crowded. Fireheart soon spotted the lightcolored tabby with the twisted jaw. He was crouching low, face-to-face with Tigerclaw. The two warriors stared at each other, their tails thrashing menacingly. Fireheart’s blood pounded through his veins as he waited for one of them to make a move. It was Crookedstar who leaped first, but Tigerclaw jumped nimbly aside and Crookedstar missed. Tigerclaw was more accurate; he turned and lunged at Crookedstar’s back. The ThunderClan warrior grasped the RiverClan leader with his long claws, and Crookedstar went limp beneath him. Fireheart watched breathlessly as Tigerclaw bared his teeth, lunged forward, and sank them deep into Crookedstar’s neck. Fireheart gasped. Had Tigerclaw really killed the RiverClan leader? Crookedstar’s pained screech told Fireheart that Tigerclaw had missed the spine. But it was a blow to win the battle. Tigerclaw released his opponent and let him race, yowling, toward the camp entrance. As soon as Crookedstar’s tail shot out of sight, his warriors struggled free and pelted after him." Tigerstar easily dodged him and almost killed Crookedstar in a single bite. Of course it could be that size made Crookedstar slow to react.

Is Lionblaze not about the same size? I imagine him to be massive Which is funny because neither of his parents are particularly big I swear at some point in OOTS, Firestar was described as "massive". it might have been from the skewed perspective of an underage dovepaw, buts it possible that he grew to be pretty large in his adulthood (he was pretty young when he became leader). so lionblaze could have inherited a sizeable heft from his grandfather, even if it isnt necessarily Tigerstar-big.

I just see the two Lion prefixes as big ol' cats. But the book describes Firestar as large at least. I just know Leafpool is described as small and Crowfeather is a Windclan cat - which are more tall and lanky than buff

I think they're really trying to retcon him as massive now lol.

Probably Blackstar. In Tigerclaw's Fury, Tigerclaw(star) mentioned that Blackfoot(star) was just as big as he was. And Blackstar stayed a leader for a long time after The Darkest Hour. It would be pretty normal if Blackstar has grown into length or something.
