Well the original designs were also much bigger. This is one of those times where the cheating in the designs of the show are at odds with toy production. On the show everything is slimmed down for the person wearing the suit.

For the toy the leg zords were much wider and bigger.

Flash forward, everything is slipped down because it looks much better and saves on costs. Problem is that those proportions don't line up with a zord the size of the Dragonzord.

The only real solution is to take Dragonzord a smaller figure that approaches the Trex is size. But then the dragonzord in the show could stand side to side with the megazord. We have this paradox. To look correct the dragonzord needs to be smaller and bigger at the same time.

I can surmise this is one reason the mecha today look so damn bulky so it's toy accurate.
