It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

In any case, G1 Hound is supposed to be one of the shorter characters in the cartoon, and the other taller characters' figs from the same Classics line are also appropriately taller. As for Wheeljack, he was retooled to be shorter to make him different from RTS Tracks with whom he shares the mold.
Just my two cents' worth.

If were talking about matching there size from the cartoon then surely Starscream should be much bigger.

Though he IS too small and too short, it should be noted that every aspect of him is diminutive where Shockwave should be a robust character.

Couldn't the same be said about Starscream or Wheeljack, the point I am trying to make is that there are number of molds that are deserving of taller stature yet have received favorable reviews whereas Shockwave got a heap of criticism.
