You can rationalize it's because Transformers was cobbled together from several lines, but the inconsistancies still percist even to today, where classics Grimlock is a full size class smaller than Classics Optimus. Further, when Blackout and Starscream, while being amongst the largest TFs in their universe, were both barily larger than Bumblebee, and quite a bit smaller than Optimus. Something that was never fixed for Blackout.
Scale... character wise or alt mode wise is something that continues to elude Hasbro.
Gobots at least had a somewhat consistant character scale, if not vehicles.
And if we're going to get into inconsistancies with vehiclular scale within a line, need I point out a certain TF combiner with a space shuttle for an arm, and a korean war era army jeep as a leg? ;P
All of the above. Sure there were inconsistencies, but it wasn't nearly as much of an issue as it was with Transformers. I remember pulling jets and tanks around with Ultra Magnus, which even as a kid bothered me. That being said, it's hard to argue the quality of a line with transforming dinosaurs and insects! Regardless of my feelings, Transformers could very easily win this thing (and probably will), with G.I. Joe being the only other line with enough muscle to have a shot against them.
