It's a bigger difference that you'd think just looking at them. Here's a comparison shot between Siege Jetfire and FT-10 Phoenix which TFSource tells me is 13.8", only .4" taller than MP Skyfire assuming TT is measuring to the top of his head.
Another comparison, here's MP Skyfire next to some MPs from Takara Tomy Mall, notice Optimus just barely clears his waist.
And then another shot of Siege Jetfire with some of the same MP molds, Optimus is about half way up his chest (I'm pretty sure both MP Primes are the same height).
Skyfire should tower over Siege Jetfire and any non-Titan combiner.

I doubt the difference is quite that extreme. MP Skyfire's jet cockpit lines up with MP Prime's head, while Siege Jetfire's cockpit lines up with MP Prime's chest. Coupled with MP Skyfire's proportionally squatter torso, the MP is probably only a head, maybe a head and a half taller than Siege. Hardly towering, and definitely shorter than FT-10 Phoenix.

There is one, Black Lio Convoy. Which is based on the original toy rather than being toon accurate.

Ah, I see. Not surprised. MP Primal got two redecos. So it stands to reason the other "Prime" would too.

Weird. In my defence Takara Tomy Mall doesn't use that image or mention a faction on the site. AmiAmi is going with Rigorous while HLJ was calling it Rigoras but that seemed to be a direct translation from Japanese (they've since changed it to Riggorus on the product page, not the front page). Hobby Search calls it both Rigoras and Rigolas. Needless to say I went with the most obvious one. Guess I'll fix it.
