Transformers 2 but no Dionobots

[HboyBowen]

I heard on a news broadcast cant remember what show but it said that Bay said there will be no Dinobots in Transformers 2 no word on if might be in 3. Wish I had a link tro prove this. Sorry

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I heard this also, its a bit dissapoint at first, but if they use other awesome robots instead i dont mind waiting for TF3.

[November Rain]

no big deal, could easily see them in the third

I just want them to go up against devastator this time

I don't mind this second one being dark and the autobots losing and prime being apparently killed and megatron being revived at the end and forces are scattered and jazz/bumble bee/rodimus makes the decision to create new autobots etc...

I would rather they didnt kill Prime and bring him back, i'd prefer if they just kept him without killing him as they cant keep killing characters them bringing them back willy-nilly.

[Chris B]

They weren't really high on my list of things that I would want in TF2. So I would be willing to wait for another sequel for them appear.

But I will reiterate one point, if they ever appear the Dinobots, especially Grimlock, will need to be modeled after their portrayals in the Marvel Comics series.

[Đeadpool]

it's cool with me

[Godzilla]

I was kinda looking forward to seeing the Dinobots show up in the sequel, but if this is true then no harm done. Curious to see exactly which decepticons, and autobots are coming in however.

[Đeadpool]

me to :up:
I Wonder if the Mini-Cons will be in there

[Arcturus]

I like the Dinbots, but I don't really want to see them just yet.

[Matt312]

how about Robosaurus, it's a 40 foot tall car crusher. Grimlock could land and near a car show arena and scan it. Here's a link

The perfect Dinobots origin is in the Marvel comics. Having them find Megatron and be trapped in the ice like he did. But it's no biggie if Bay chose to make Grimlock a tank.

[Rac]

No. Dinobots were always a stupid idea.

i never said anything about bringing him back...

I take it you've never read a Transformers comic. Grimlock is one of the greatest Autobots: he's Simon Furman's favourite character for pete's sake!

People want to see Grimlock in a Michael Bay film? http://forums.sohh.com/images/smilies/huh.gif

What is that supposed to mean?

[The Freak]

Let me start off by saying Bay already stated he would be releasing some false statements and that kind of stuff to throw us off so the dinobots very welll may be in TF2.
My only proof that grimlock might be in the movie is this video from the sector seven viral site. The video shows grimlock destroying stuff in a town. Ridle me this: Why would they create a CGI model in full motion just for some promotion that many people wouldn't know about and not use it for a sequal? Video of Grimlock and two other transformers from sector seven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn3MSOQ0di4

[Avangarde]

That was just a fun little thing the guys behind the viral site did, there is no way Bay would use a classic design of Grimlock for his movie, not after all the bs he fed us about "boxy" robots. He wan't his robots to move like ninja's and gladiators, Grimlock would stand out like a sore thumb.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Oh, okay, well then i dont want him to be killed then.

[andurilelessar]

I would rather just see vehicles. military or civilian dosnt really matter too me. Dinobots might be cool but it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole robots in disguise thing. Last I checked dinosaurs are extinct. Unless they are all hiding in the museum of natural history or something:woot:

Yes dinosaurs are extinct. Would the "dinobots" still be "dinobots" if they were military or civilian vehicles? Last I checked dinobots were robot dinosaurs.

[Avangarde]

Hahaha to true. The thing with this is, I know how popular the Dinobots are with the fans but I think it's one of those things where you need to let them go. It would be nice to see what they look like on the big screen but ask youself this, do you think they would really fit in with Bays version of Transformers?

[DoctorJones]

Dinobots would have made an interesting story though. It means you don't repeat robots landing on Earth as skeletal pods and scanning a form. You'd have flashbacks of them landing on prehistoric Earth, their shut down, and in the present their attempts to recover sanity and siding with Optimus.

Still, there's always the third movie. TF2 could end with Optimus calling for Grimlock's reinforcements if things go bad.

I think that would work perfectly in a movie. You could have them being the first Autobots being sent out to look for the Allspark (it would mean the US government being wrong about dating the cube crashing on earth in 10000BC), but they crashland on Earth, turn into Dinobots, but then the iceage freezes them on earth.

[Timstuff]

The Dinobots were incredibly stupid. I could tolerate Grimlock being in the movie (as long as he's not a retard like in the cartoon), but the "Dinobots" as a group should definitely not be in the movie. As soon as you bring in more than one it starts getting incredibly stupid.

Besides, Dino-Riders are way cooler anyway.

[DoctorJones]

Never heard of Dinoriders, but Grimlock's gotta have his brigade if he's gonna be a genuine force to be reckoned with in the Autobots?

[copywrite]

The whole point of the Transformers is that they're in disguise. There's no way they can make robot dinosaurs not stick out. It just wouldn't work. I can see them putting in Grimlock as something else, but that's about it.

Well you could have them start out by transforming into dinosaurs, like if they landed in a museum. When the autobots landed in the first movie, they scanned what vehicles were right in their vacinity. The dinobots could just scan their dinosaur counterparts, do their fighting, and then later maybe just scan a different earth vehicle. Bumblebee scanned a new car to transform into and Frenzy scanned Mikaela's cellphone in the first movie.

I can see dinobots but only if they are hiding in a museum being perfectly still.Then one night or day they start movin in front of everyone they freakout they are tryin to get to a nearby battle. Take that Micheal Bay.

[Dotten]

I can see Grimlock not giving a rats ass about hiding. He finds the most menacing thing from Earth history and that is not a tank, it is not a plane. It's a freakin dinosaur.

"Me Grimlock, me like scary tall creature with sharp teeth, Grimlock not like crappy automobiles or stupid planes. Grimlock use sharp teeth to eat Decepticons. Grimlock hungry"

He's the freakin hulk of the Transformers. The Transformers movie-franchise will not be complete if not Dinobots are present.

It may seem stupid to anyone incapable of seeing movies through the eyes of their inner-child. But this movie is not for those cynical "always grown-up" people. These movies are for the people capable of transforming into 8-year olds again when watching. And for all of us who are capable of that, dinobots in a Bay-movie would own everything. It would be better then sex. Almost. Who the hell cares about what the "always grown up audience" thinks anyway? This is not the movie for them, so bugger of :)

[Dragons Claws]

I agree that they are too important part of Tf mythos to leave out. But i genuinally can't see where they'd fit in. he only one that I could see maybe working in the sjhort term would be the idea of Grimlock not giving a damn whether he is in disguise or not but in that case I'd imagine Prime would have something to say.
If the Dinobots are not dinosaurs then they are not the dinobots as far as I am concerned. I know Alt modes were changed for the other robots in the first film but the differnece with the Dinobots is that they traditionally spend most of their time in dinosaur mode rather than robot mode. Therfore the dinosaur alt mode is too importnat to discard.
As much as I'd like to see them I think its best they are left out unless it can be doen propoerly and they are not just shoe-horned in for the sake of it.

[November Rain]

the allspark can turn robotic structures from an existing abandoned dino park into the dinobots, it's all very simple and straight forward and their limited intelligence will simply have to do with their age.

throw in something about allspark constructions on earth being stronger than on cybertron and that would explain it all.

it's easy peay and really does add to the mix but i'm happy to save them till the last instalment.

[Dragons Claws]

It still doesn't really answer the disguise issue though does it. Sounds a bit like the new animated origin for them, in that they ended up putting them in hiding. I think anyhting like that would be terrible in the film.

[Avangarde]

This is true, the thing is there is no way of introducing Grimlock and the lads into the film franchise without it having a big "WTF" on top of it, unless they use the character of Grimlock but he isn't a Dinobot. In the Dreamwave and IDW comics Grimlock was a Cybertronian tank before he came to earth, they could stick with that and use an earth tank as his alternate form rather then a T-rex. The whole "crash lands in a museum/theme park" is lame IMO.
