The thing in the circled area in the above pic is a full size dozer!

Yes I have seen it on the Discovery channel once pretty amazing machine. Also the picture of it "eating" the dozer has been floating around the web for quite some time I believe. Very cool machine and really shows what man is capable of.

It looks just like the harvester on Avatar.

Maybe it's a new mode for Trypticon?

Or a new version of Devestator?
