From what I understand, Menasor was supposed to be the best Combiner, but was insane. Plus, his vehicles were small, so he'd end up much smaller than Devastator or Bruticus.
I thought it was suppose to be Predaking? I'm not too sure, but I'm pretty sure Predaking was the cream of the crop in terms of combiners.
As far as the Battle Ship Bot, I wouldn't be too surprised being Josh Nizzi I think already did concept art for a Battle Ship Transformer during the concept art stage. I wouldn't doubt it would e revisisted being this film has such a short turnaround, and very little time for art development, it would be wise to use whatever concepts didn't make it in the other two films, Just as Arcee and Soundwave were dropped from TF1, and regretably re-designed for TF2. The Battleship may be brought to life, but not as Shockwave. It will be renamed something more unlikely like Bruticus or something.
As far as Shockwave, we might just get the flying giant gun passed off as a cybertronian jet....or....sigh...he won't transform as to not confuse him and Megatron. Ugh
