Grimlock's been a tank (like thingy) two times already in the comics and he had that unused design in WFC







Grimlock not being a T-rex wouldn't be anything new.

 

Am I the only one that thinks of Crosswise when i see the Bugatti?

 

Then it wouldn't be called Dinobots, would it?

I'm still sticking with vehicles transforming into dinosaurs, if there are Dinobots in the movie.

 

Why not? Dinosaur means "terrible lizard" in greek so a dinobot means "terrible robot" esentially.

I don't see the problem here other then it's not G1 enough.

Hell they don't even need to use the name Dinobots in the movie at all. None of the individual names evoke Dinosaurs either so again I don't see a problem with Grimlock being a tank.

 

This got a grin out of me.

 

TF4 is talking a leaf out of TF: Prime's book and doing a relic hunt. This time all the TF must search out the original old version of themselves.

It's like they're playing 'Where's Geewun?'.

*Optimus spots the old truck*

Optimus: "There it is!"

*smashes right through it*

Optimus: "Gotta crash 'em all!"

 

Even if the Dinobots are not in the movie I have some toys that will act as the Dinobots with all my other movie figures.

 

Why am I thinking that the Bugatti Veyron might be Blurr?

 

That's the only way I can see   allowing them in.

 

Also, the rumor said that the Autobots will be riding Dinosaurs. If's it were Optimus riding on Grimlock's back in robot mode, it would be a very weird Autobot Piggy Back Ride. 

 

Well they did establish that other Transformers have been on earth a very long time, and Jetfire wasn't the only one shown on the map in Revenge of the Fallen. So if some have been bouncing around since then, or someone unearths an ancient Cybertronian craft buried for millions of years and has been reverse engineering the technology. Enter evil business man Kelsy Grammer.

Perhaps having the Dinobots as an advance team that went missing giving the reason they adopted altmodes of dinos. Even though each of those dinos are from different periods in time. So it would have to been after dinosaurs died out. I'm sure they'll shoehorn something in.

 

"I'm callin it, that flamed truck is Rodimus after Optimus gives him the matrix or his spark or whatever (look at the chrome pipes)and that old cab-over is optimus after he hands over leadership to Rodimus!
loving the G1 style location and Dig BB as a 68 Camaro BUT cant dig those stupid flares!
Op and the original crew is hiding out taking old forms to not attract to much attention until the new lot arrives! of course all that would mean Bay would have had to listen to a certain degree BUT that remains to be seen

 

I really doubt there will be much mentioning of previous movies... ESPECIALLY the ROTF, which Bay was overall not happy with because of the strike.
My guess is the dinobot(s) will be a case of "convergent evolution"... Much like bats and birds both fly, they are not related... Dinobots will just be "dinosaur like" aliens, like Ravage is cat-like, Laserbeak is bird-like, and Scorpinok and Insecticon are bug-like... None of them scanned earth animals, they just have a similar body type. Quick, simple, and fits the modus operandi of Bay.

 

"terrible lizard" as in "walking terrorizing bahamut"... terrible like many words have a differ meaning back then...

dinobot that cant turn into a dinosaur arent really dinobot... its just another autobot that turn into truck..

 

I'm positive that is Optimus. Peter Cullen did say he would come back and voice Optimus and I very much doubt that Bay would make Rodimus look so much like Optimus. The chrome pipes are just a new look for Prime. It doesn't mean that it is Rodimus. That's not say that Rodimus won't be in the movie, but that truck is without a doubt Optimus.

 

The 'Dinobot' truck could just be it's vehicle form, and the robot mode is it's dinosaur form?

 

So will this be a dinomovie?

Sorry had to do it!


I would rather see Grimlock and his crew as trucks rather than not at all. And its the live action movieverse = no rules apply.

 

hahahaha ^_^

 

I can handly many Dinosaur movies, but I run away from Jurassic Park movies.

 

I know the Dinobots were trucks and tanks and such before, but I've never been a fan of those. I'm usually not one to get hung up on "geewun", but the most interesting bit of the Dinobots is the fact that they turn into robot dinosaurs. Take that away and what the point of having them? (and no, calling them "Dynobots" does not make it OK to me, in fact it's kinda like rubbing salt in the wound)

I'm totally fine with RiD Grimlock not being a T. rex 'cause he's not a Dinobot, just some Autobot that happens to share the name. No sense in making a bot part of a team if they're not going to follow that team's theme.
