Or Starscream and Megatron, for that matter. Prime gets a pass, since he was the first MP figure and didn't have anything else to be in scale with. The sizing issues started with the release of Starscream.

From what I remember, the MP seeker mold was smaller because an in-scale-with-Prime version of Starscream would have been cost-prohibitive. So I think the designers are just focusing on making a definitive version of a given character, rather than making it fit in with the rest of the series (well, except maybe for Megatron. He was scaled to match Prime in bot mode, hence the comically over-sized P-38 mode).
