Theres a bit of a difference between a tyre and a catterpillar tread though. And if they still cling to thier 'faux realism' in the film, i doubt we'll see any kind of shifting like that

 

yeah it's the same Con. Check out the colors and the face, he is definitely one and the same. It looks like (if that is the first part of the movie) then it will rock HARD!

Gosh I can't wait to see more.

 

No, seriously, it just Transforms from the tread to the wheel and back again, look: New Images of Revenge of the Fallen Steam Shovel Constructicon including possible robot mode - Transformers News

 

Even the toy is going to pull that transformation off. It should be no problem for the CGI model

 

Yes, the Catterpillar tread changes into a wheel shape, but it doesn't transform into a TYRE....

All the G1 constructicons were the same colour and had a similar face design. They weren't all the same 'Cons were they?

 

It's not a tire, it's a tread in a round shape. Look at the close up I linked to.

 

here is the photo

 

Ack, did you even look at the picture you linked?

Heres a close up of the section in disupute

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Trailer Images! - Transformers News

Notice its thickness, diagnol knobbles, bevelled centre, giving it a rounded contact edge.

Now compare it to this

and this

We see that the treads on the steam shovel are neither thick, rounded or have diagnol knobbles on them. Unless of course, innaccuracy is the way the CGI team prefers these days

 

because it's plastic toy not CGI so the toy can only changes into a wheel shape...

and,ROTF Constructcons comfirmd in different colors.

 

We're talking about the CGI model having tyres though, not the toy >.>

Also, I'm dubious of them making them all wildly different colours, chances are its going to be one small colour palette or differing patterns

 

You really seem to be letting the limitations of the toy vs. the CGI model blind you to the obvious. I will make any wager you want that we're seeing the same Constructicon attacking both the helicopters and the highway in this teaser.

 

Watch the trailer in slowmo It is the same robot. you are mistaken.

 

I'm, the only person who HASN'T brought the toy into question yet, so I don't know why your dragging this up.

 

Look, forget the toy, the robot in both scenes is rolling around on a single wheel: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attachment.php?do=fullview&attachmentid=13424

What else do you need?

 

I've been through the trailer, one has catterpillar treads, the other has tyres.... Can't really argue with the pictures >.>

and if it is indeed the same 'con, then the CGI team needs to learn how to accurately design something XD

 

You couldn't be anymore wrong if your name was W. Wrong Wrongenstein.

 

For one, which ever ones appear with the Blackhawks are standing pretty still, apart from spinning on the spot to make a blackhawk go bye bye

And the second is rolling along on two wheels

 

*sigh*

It is the same Con!

We were told by credible sources that all the construction vehicles would be different colors


Please let this argument cease, please

 

Actually, thats helping my cause

For one, the 'arms' holding the treads and the wheel on the first and second picture are shorter on one another and closer together, for another, on the first picture, if this was indeed a 'tread' why does it have a centre like a wheel? If it was treads, it would have a centre made up of multiple wheels required to propellel the treads.

 

So name a wager if you're so sure.
