"Ding-a-ling, come out and get yo ice cream. Any bad robot out there better get ready for an ass-whoopin" - Skids and Mudflap
No official pics of their vehicle modes, but during production, some of the vehicle modes were leaked (though Overload turned out to be wrong), and they SEEM to be mostly right. Try googling these:
O&K/Terex RH400 - Hydrolic Mining Excavator - (Demolishor and Scavenger)
Caterpillar 992G - Wheel Loader - (Scrapper)
Caterpillar 773B - Dump Truck - (Long Haul)
Some sort of Mack Cement Mixer - (Mixmaster)
Unknown - Articulated Dump Truck - (Overload - robot not seen in film)
Kobelco CK2500 - Truss Crane - (Hightower - robot not seen in film)
Caterpillar D11 - Bulldozer - (Rampage)
Some sort of Volvo excavator - (That unnamed guy)

unnamed guy? pic
The Doctor/Scalpel said something like: "We need parts. Kill ?????" I'm sure we might pick it up on a second viewing.
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.![]()
