I don’t believe so. The Animatrix mecha seemed like they were much smaller (about 10’ tall at most), and the Reloaded mecha had long bars attached to the arms that looked like cannons of some sort, but in 2R.2 they had fat little gatling gun pods. Also, from the “Help me” scene, it’s pretty obvious that the pilots arms and legs are actually inserted into the mecha’s arms and legs, where the pilots in the Reloaded mecha seemed like they were fully contained within the torso.

Also, while some of the 2R.1 commentary mentions that they were asked to keep the early robot designs fairly close to the one first shown in some Matrix-related comic book, there was no mention of anything of the sort between the 2R.2 mecha and the Reloaded mecha.

Well. I’ve got this animated gif to show some details of the Animatrix mecha. The gif isn’t very good processed, but I think it will inspire all of you.
