Maybe it's just an optical illusion on the full-scale car.
I think you're right on there, looks like they've taken some liberties with proportions (the MP-12 series alt-modes weren't the most accurate either). But this is one guy I'm happy to leave in bot mode.

I too am more interested in Spike in his exo-suit.
