Anyone know where I can find some? I'm trying to tell if he's in scale with the other Autobots before I open him.

The other Autobots aren't even really in scale with one another (though I guess they're closer than the Decepticons), so I have my doubts. I mean, Bumblebee isn't even in scale with himself (between the Classic and the Concept versions)

He is close enough.

I know they'll never be perfectly in scale with one another, I just don't want him way off.

Perfectly scaled TFs... my favorite pipedream.

a matter of opinion...he's deluxe sized...he's probably 40% smaller than he should be for towing a legless Concept BB, meaning he's less than 2/3 the correct size.

I have found that there are compromises made with nearly every Transformer figure, whether it be to accomodate a gimmick or fit it into a size class. Since I did not expect to see a video game character be anything but a deluxe class, I think Longarm is a decent enough effort. Yes - it could be bigger. Here are some quick snapshots I took of concept BB being towed by Longarm. As you can see, the sizes are close enough to accomplish this much:
