At 16cm Optimus Prime was the largest Autobot toy released in the first series of Transformers in 1984. He was also the second largest Transformer at the time, the tallest being Soundwave (18cm). Take a look at the Classicsverse & G1 Comparison thread for a bunch of photos comparing contemporary Classicsverse toys with their G1 counterparts. In some cases the G1 toy is smaller, but in other cases they were bigger. It all depends -- but have a look through that thread and you'll see lots of side-by-side comparison photos.
