Nuke The Fridge had the pleasure to talk with Scott Farrar; VFX supervisor of Transformers: Age Of Extinction.
Mr. Farrar explains that there will be more talking characters (with regards to robots) than the previous movies and the new movie is the start of a new Trilogy.
He also praises Director Michael Bay for the amazing work he did for the movie and tells that they are still working on some scenes that need tweaking. The effects on the new movie are more practical than any other movie Mr. Farrar has worked on. He says that his favorite character is Bumblebee but there are some great new characters.
Here’s the best part: Mr. Farrar says that the introduction of Dinobots led them to do some cool scenes involving Flying, Running and Charging. “Instead of characters that turn into Humanoid Robots or Cars, these characters are Humanoids that turn into Dinosaurs.”
Finally, he says that they are talking about Transformers 5 and 6 but need to wait and see what happens.

Even though I figured most of this stuff out (which was obvious) like it was the first in a trilogy and the Dinobot transforming, it's good to at least get some official confirmation.

by the way he worded what he said im gonna assume the dinobots are gonna be in the dinosaur forms most of the film. he said that they're the opposite of the autobots (who are cars that transform into robots), so for the normal autobots their normal form is the robot but for the dinobots the normal form is the dinosaur? im confused.

yeah, wonder why some misinformed ignorant so called 'fan's thought otherwise..
Uhh… is it not a fact that the Dinobots have been transforming since G1…..

Really glad they concentrated on giving the non-humans more lines.

Yes, YES, YESSSSSSSS!
Thank you so much for finally addressing this problem with the films.

Talk about coincidence.
Transformers 4 Age Of Extinction Dinobots TV Spot – Transformers News – TFW2005

Now if we can get an announcement for dinobot voice actors!

It's a completely different situation, how does it apply?

Nice profile pic, Tony!

No lol. But there are a few here that are so insistent that if we don't see it in a TV spot or trailer or don't see concept art of it, that its not there or won't happen. It took some to see a foot of Grimlock's concept "robot" art and now a volcal confirmation from ILM to now believe the Dinobots will be seen in robot mode. Even though it was already confirmed by Hasbro months back lol.
IMO this does apply to the situation of the Sonic as well.

I'm not one of those guys. Right? I mean, I just don't think so because of Shane and his entire ordeal.

I'm going to start telling those who say the Dinobots don't transform into robot mode:
"No, you're right they don't. They transform into giant talking, bi-pedal ninjitsu master turtles. They're Sensei is Rattrap."
CKPRIME
I see. Hard to tell through text sometimes. It's not really the same situation with the rally car though.
tonyformer
Lol it was a joke. But in all honesty, the guys that were saying the dinobots are no going to transform are the same guys that say if I don't see it by now its probably not going to happen. As if everything needs to be seen to actually be in the movie lol.
CKPRIME
Why would it?
Afterburner
Believe it when the public reports it as true. Might just mean they all have 1 line lol.
tonyformer
Does this also apply to all those that say if the sonic is a TF why haven't we seen it transform or any robot pics of it?
EnerJohn
There you go! To all of you who foolishly said, "I don't think the Dinobots will transform in the movie because we see no indication of them doing so in the 3 seconds we see them in the 30 second trailer."
Happy now? Jeez.
Novaburnhilde
Nice info.

I'm with you on that!
