Basically, Legends cars and Scout - Deluxe trucks.

More specifically, Optimus is somewhere in between 1/50 and 1/60 scale. As it turns out, several Decepticons have been released under this same scale range:

Legends Soundwave, Barricade, Sideways
Deluxe Brawl, Bonecrusher, Payload
Voyager Bludgeon, Megatron (the truck itself is somewhere between Scout and Deluxe, thus he fits that "rule")
Leader Starscream (going by the F-22's size)

Works great in bot modes, too. Apart from Starscream, the toys manage to be in the same scale once transformed.

I was working on writing up a review of this figure (along with three other trailer toting Primes) but my website seems to be experiencing technical difficulties since yesterday afternoon... Hopefully it will be back in order in the not too distant future. But I digress, I thought maybe I'd show off a few of the photos I've taken for my review that could give you some idea of scale. Someone else posted pics already of the Deluxe Prime along with the Cyberverse and Ultimate ones... But I'll one up that by including the Voyager one as well. Here's a few photos of them together in vehicle mode, and a shot of them together in robot mode (along with a DVD case to supply some sense of scale).

Aww, now you made me go and break out my camera...



You're right, definitely not in scale with Classics Optimus.



We get a bit closer with the Voyager, but even that is a bit small. Besides which, neither one of these would have a proper connection point to Classics Prime.



Now that's better! It is a bit pricy, yes... but at least it is still available and thus you don't have to resort to insane eBay prices. And on the subject of pricy trailers, this Classics Prime trailer kicks much arse and is in my opinion worth it, as opposed to the one with the DOTM Voyager Prime, which if I was sane (and not such a trailer slut) I'd probably regret...



Edit: Woah, my website, which had been mysteriously down since yesterday afternoon, seems back! If you want to see more on the Classics Prime's trailer, it is featured in the first review I wrote for the site. As far as the DOTM Prime review I'd mentioned above that I was working on... Well, I suppose now I have incentive to finish it, and I'll come back to this thread and shamelessly promote myself once I'm finished!
