    There are already at least 3 Scrapper types in the movie :
    Scrapper vehicle who is the right arm of Devastator.
    Smaller Scrapper vehicle (a tracked loader rather than a wheel loader) who is the left hand of Devastator. The concept art of Devastator shows 2 Scrapper hands.
    Scrapper robot who chased Sam and Mikaela.

    My guess is the movie people decided to replace Scrapper as the parts for Megatron at the beginning bec. there are too many Scrappers already in the movie. Close up of the vehicle beside Mixmaster reveals instead a yellow tracked Volvo branded excavator. This Volvo vehicle is shown very prominently probably so the audience won't miss this guy. The vehicles of Long Haul and Rampage on the ship are hardly shown. The Volvo vehicle is definitely not Scrapper bec. Scrapper is not a Volvo.

    Yeah, that whole scene was screaming for an 80's montage of re-building Megs.

    To be honest, we don't know. He looks like Scrapper in robot mode, but has a completely different altmode.

    Nope, he's dead. The 'doc' clearly says, "Kill the little one", with his heavy accent.

    As evidenced by the entire final battle, there are multiple Constructicon Clones, just like the fully grown, and quite generic, Hatchling Clone Decepticons.

    Couple of possibilities there...



    And can I point out, for kicks, the fact it was a "Scrapper" that got scrapped? :D

    You have never seen Scavenger's robot mode. ¬¬
    Nobody has actually.

    About Demolishor, his treads are there. Round or not, they're there.
    If you'll say they can get treads from a vehicle with wheels, off you go.
    If that's the way you think, it could have well been a clone of Alice and they'd be able to get treads out of her anyway.

    I just assumed that Megatron could change into a Cybertronian tank because he had scanned it years ago while on Cybertron and he simply hasn't forgotten how to transform into it. You know, changing into a tank is kinda like riding a bike.

    Now, I only saw the movie once but weren't they just after a new spark?

    Okay. See, I wasn't sure.

    However, I still don't understand how they take parts from one robot with a distinctly earth form, give it to Megatron and his new form is destinctly Cybertronian. I still think they just needed a few critical parts to repair Megatron and his new tank form is one he's had for a while.

    I never even pondered it. Curious. I just automatically call him 'generic fodder-bot'.
