On the cargo ship, just after Ravage crash lands on it. You see a Volvo crane arm move and then the cons jump ship.
It was not Hightower. You can see that it's some sort of Volvo excavator during the close up on the ship. Hightower would be much larger. And different looking.
Not Scrapper either, because they needed somebody with treads to rebuild Megatron. HOWEVER, during the overhead shot of the ship, it appears Scrapper was going to be the fourth Constructicon, but during the close up he changes into unknown guy.
Theory: They were going to use Scrapper until they script revision called for Megatron to be rebuilt using parts of somebody else, so they changed Scrapper with Unknown Guy.

I've reviewed this last night and I think it clearly is Scrapper, but interwoven with a Volvo commercial. Pardon the low quality, but here is the sequence:
Definitely Scrapper (and red Rampage):
Ravage hits into Rampage (yellow?), and Scrapper is suddenly a Volvo!
Yellow Rampage's treads shown as Volvo arm lifts:
Back to Volvo commercial:
Scrapper!
Mixmaster!
Red Rampage flipping into the water and a hulking Long Haul!
I think if there's any lesson I've learned from this, and every other movie analyzing thread, is that as soon as you try to add sense and consistency, the only consistency available is the consistent failure to find consistency.![]()
ahhh, so it was Scrapper then!
So that means there are three scrappers in the movie. The poor little dude that gets shredded, the one chasing after Sam and the one forming Devastator.
I've found at least four Long Hauls, TWO of which form Devastator!![]()
I think the constructicons really need to stop getting drunk and going home with each other![]()
