Post your best southern apes here.
Australopithecus were so tiny. Why were they so tiny?

Less surface area. The opposite of why animals who live in colder climates are larger.
Plus it might be due to their ape heritage as well as sexual dimorphism.

But then H. erectus got fuck-huge. Was it the change from foraging between forest patches to long-distance hunting in the open?

Most likely. Remember, the ice age was the main reason we left. The forests were starting to recede and creatures like Ardi had to adapt.

erectus is only about a foot taller then Australopithecus but only if we compare the largest known erectus to the only known male Australopithecus.
