Well first it's because that's how Magnus's alt mode looks in the comics, but also it's designed to be gigantic. The windshield slits are meant to be as big as normal windshields, if that puts the rest of the truck in perspective. Note the tiny doors.
Personally I am stoked for this guy. He looks fantastic, and I admire that they put all that detail inside the cab, based on the artwork. I bet it'll look better if someone paints it.

But doesn't that mean he's out of scale with the other toys? The cars he's carrying would have to be tiny in comparison.

The big difference for me is that I know alpha trion more than minimus ambus. But alpha trion riding magnus isnt anywhere in the fiction, so I am having a hard time coming up with what I want out of this toy.
