Ok, look guys. I know the T.rex specimens called by the most of the people larger than Sue, the largest, 40,5-feet long T.rex (don't come with 42 ft, it's outdated now). Well, the "larger than "Sue"" (LTS) specimens are likely just hoax. Look:
1. MOR008
MOR008 wasn't larger than "Sue", his skull was actually "just" 1,34 m long and not 1,5 m.

Actually, this specimen may ahve been longer than "Sue", but more gracile so lighter.

But being just a skull, we don't know.
2. UCMP (juvenile and feet's bone)
The juvenile specimen: Yes, his head was big, but...it was only 16, and the juvenile specimens are generally big-headed. So it was likely less than 13 m, more like to 11-12 m in juvenile hood. An adult may have been as large as "Sue", but we don't know being fragmentary.
Fett's bone: A metatarsal of the feet, about 17 % larger than the "Sue"'s: it was really 17 % larger? The answer is: WE DON'T KNOW. Who says that his feet's finger get bigger due to a pathology? We don't know. Still, "Sue" i s still the largest.
3. C.rex
Likely a Allosauroid.
4. Celeste
If you believe in Celeste, you must believe in a scavenger T.rex. 20 % larger than "Sue" is big, but we don't know if it was really 20 % bigger, being the specimen not ufficially described.
Thomas rex, D.rex etc...are just big juveniles 17-18 years old: "Sue" reach his max size at 19 years. the adult D.rex/Thomas rex should be so as large as "Sue".

The largest T.rex is still "Sue". Don't worry, T.rex-fan, "Sue" is still a big, big, very big beast, at 12,3 m and 8 t +! The largest T.rex must be confirmed for now, but "Sue" was still one of the most impressive and largest Theropod.
