An image has surfaced, showing Devastator more upright, and 7 of the Constructicons. The vehicle modes are photos for reference to the animators, but almost all of them have robot forms, including Overload (robot mode didn't appear to feature in the movie though). So maybe there is hope for at least 2 more of the Constructicons as toys (Overload and Scrapper), but probably no hope of a Hightower toy, as the picture suggests that the Movie people didn't even bother generating a robot form for it.

I tried to locate the original asian source of this image (I found 2 links, but neither had it, so maybe it has already been taken down), so have posted a link to a mirrored copy here at tformers (http://www.tformers.com/ig.php?mode=view&album=11962&pic=1.jpg&dispsize=800&start=0).

edit - one asian link (http://www.tfg2.com/read.php?tid-24440-fpage-0-toread--page-1.html)worked, but only shows a small version of the image. There is a larger Res image out there somewhere.

For anyone trying to remember which Constructicon is which:
Excavator - Demolishor/Scavenger
Articulated Dumptruck - Overload
Wheel Loader - Scrapper
Cement Mixer - Mixmaster
Dump Truck - Long Haul
Bulldozer - Rampage
Truss Crane - Hightower
Combined form - Devastator

Apparently the big Res version can be found here (http://d.namipan.com/downfile/dali.JPG/a12930dc9e48106abb2f6ba2815916d17e6979be4b6f0201), and click on the blue button. It is a huge image (16.1Mb, and lots of people accessing it), so expect it to take a really long time to download (my status box is saying 4 hours... :eek: ).

Ah, here we go - a mirrored copy of the large version is here (http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp118/leonard1982/dali-1.jpg).

My question is... which one has the wrecking balls???

It's quite nice. The little production notes are interesting, like the TBD if Robot Mode appers in Egypt scenes and "Product Placement" for some of the vehicles.

Also the production names like "Wheel-Bot" which I think I read ended up in the credits.

I'm guessing the wrecking balls would belong to the truss crane.it has to be the only conclusion,but it doesn't seem to be the right sort of crane for the job, but i guess Mr Bay didn't think we's are that smart to figure this out.Remember this is produced for the masses and they are going to take much notice of these sort of things, there only going to think its funny that a transformer has a set of nuts.:p:p:p

Someone has done up a size chart for the Constructicons:

The vehicle mode of Longhaul looks out of scale with its robot mode and everyone else.
