The QC issue between Hasbro and Takara has been debunked and refuted countless times. It's in the imagination of fans and is not fact.
I knew someone would bring it up...
It's an artifact of logistics and internet reporting, really. TakaraTomy is restricted to a single country, thus less toys from them are sent out compared to Hasbro's rest of the cake. Also, not everyone chooses to access them, resulting in an even smaller sampling to pick the errors out of. What also plays is that TakaraTomy sends out their toys later than Hasbro, giving them a window to fix common errors if any are found.
Truth is, both companies use the same factories, always have, and the same resources with the same chances for errors, especially now that both companies release identical figures.
Anyway, the G1 scale chart may have influenced the scales for Siege, but they're not as accurate as the Studio Series, nor should they be. As long as any given character is bigger/smaller than another according to said chart everything is hunkydoory.
