Oh god... not the Ridley size debate again... having flashbacks to the Nintendo Nsider forums... oh god... no one man should have to witness it this many times...
Seriously though, the one time where he was the same size as Samus was the first Metroid, which was rendered non-canon by Zero Mission (where he was gigantic... as he has been since Super Metroid). Heck, in the same game Kraid was the same size too, and he was changed to a gigantic crazy dinosaur guy with belly missiles in every game after, his original tiny size even being parodied in Super Metroid.
As much as I'd love for Metroid to represented more, there really isn't anyone else that's significant and could work. Maybe if that Space Pirate guy from Hunters had been in one more game, but he wasn't and has no significance to the franchise anymore.
Oh, and if anyone mentions the SSBM intro as an argument, I might. Just. Snap.
