TransNeptunian Objects (TNOs) have now gained a two-third majority in the list of the 100 largest bodies in the Solar System. For those largest TNOs, we have compiled the available peer-reviewed published data whether on size, shape and color, and complemented the lacking data by interpolation and reasonable default values. This results into a poster putting them in perspective, with an estimate of the top 100 and a representation of those bodies in a comprehensive composite picture up to scale. We zoom on all largest Solar System solid bodies in the bottom rows and provide our table of assumptions in the caption. In particular, we show the evolution of this ranking between 2010 and 2011: the large number of changes in less than one year illustrates the dynamism of this field of knowledge.
