    If there was any confirmation, why would people still speculate if they'll appear in robot mode?

    Sounded more like "yeah, Dono did have a great design"

    But if they aren't, that sucks, mainly for Sideswipe, he's an awesome character, 100x better than dumblebee.

    Not surprised on Dino, what with Ferrari.

    Some people haven't developed the fine art of inference ;) 

    Sideswipe, I'm not so bothered about, cos we've got another corvette, but I did like Dino/Mirage, and loved his alt mode, probably more than the Pagani, it would team with the Lambo really nicely too.... but what with the whole naming and toy problems I can see why he wouldn;t be brought back, plus with a whole new human cast and new Optimus and Bee designs it makes sense having a all-new set of Autobots.

    I expected his, someone might as well ask if Ratchet is coming back. The answer will probably be "no".

    No Dino but he was such a key character who did so many things needed to the plot....

    But for reals I totally forgot the guy existed.

    It's hard to tell if Nelson was saying correct that they won't be back or correct that Dino had one of the best designs. Besides, not talking trash but even if they were coming back, Nelson would not outright tell us anyway. So we can't say for sure what's what yet.
    And yeah that means even if Bay says himself that they won't be back, we can't go by his word either lol. Lets not forget that Bay said Megs would not be back and both Bay and Nelson said the Mercedies was not a TF and we end up with Soundwave.

    I don't care to much for Dino, but I would like for Sideswipe to return.

    I won't mourn. Both of those two were just generic badasses with no actual sort of personality or characterization.

    Dino was a given to do Francesco Quinn's passing in 2011, Sideswipe is surprising but i'm just feeling meh whatever.

    True, though Megatron and Soundwave were deliberatley denied in attempt to make failed surprises lol I don't see the return of any of the Autobots (unless it's Jazz or Ironhide!) being anything along those lines :)

    Dino and Sideswipe could have been one character imo, like basically every robot neither were characters, just effects. So when I say I'm gonna miss Sideswipe, I'm gonna miss his cool Wheel feet, which is no real loss for me.

    Further proof Mirage didn't need to be in DOTM, despite how cool he looked.


    Seriously, should've cut Que and Dino and added Jolt.

    It figures. Not surprised at all if this is true.

    There really is very little point in caring at all about characters in these movies, unless it's the main human character or Bumblebee or Prime.

    That's another reason I have no anticipation for TF4, nor does it matter to me who they bring in, transformer wise. It's looks to be just more of the same: lack of care for characters.

    Blah.

    he could have meant correct to they do have a lot of potential...
    Sideswipe is one of my favorite characters.
    The more vague Nelson is the better... in my opinion ;)
