Also, wasn't it confirmed that the NASCAR's were NOT Stunticons and even appear to be part of the Autobots based on their driving in filming.

I reckon misinformation. It's a bit hard to tell just from the filming, considering editing that has to take place as well as doctoring of footage (it's not uncommon to shoot car chases/high speed shots at a different frame rate and alter it).

My guess in a single word: Stunticons :grin:

Those round things on this place holder are about 5X bigger than wheels/tires. If this were for a Stunticon combiner, I doubt one alone would make up its foot.

You're quite right, but maybe those aren't even wheels to begin with!

For those worrying about the wheel size I wouldn't be too attentive to the details.

Devastator had..well....balls yet none of vech's used to combine into him were equipped with Wrecking Balls. Or even one Wrecking ball.

Also, these wheels may be a post transformed addition kind of like how the Giant Uni-wheel was on the one Constructicon (I've just blocked them all from my mind honestly) in Shanghai.

Part of me, the morbidly curious part, wants to see Menasor really. Just to see what comes out of that Frankenstein lab of an art department Bay has going on there.

OH DUH!! I bet I know what this is or who this is. People, it's an aerialbot! Sure, the wheels are big like on an airplane. But too big for a semi.

Except, y'know, that Hightower guy.

Nice Try, sadly this is unused Concept art for said character. In fact if I remember correctly there was a chart floating around, and the bot in question was a Kobelco CK 2500, out fitted with a hook. Even so, there was no robot mode developed and realized. There was a minature toy developed which had a robot mode, I don't think this was it though, and even then that thing was absent of said balls.

Still, nice art. Wish this had made the film cut, instead of being scrapped. *Sigh*
