Transformers: Dark of the Moon to Feature the Dinobots!
And here you thought Transformers: Dark of the Moon was going to take a more serious approach to its storytelling this time out! New toy images from Hasbro's upcoming Transformers: Dark of the Moon action figure line have revealed that two, maybe more, of the Dinobots are going to be making an appearance in director Michael Bay's upcoming summer sequel. Pictured are Triceradon (who, we just found out from our good friend Danny DeVito, will be voiced by 'man of a thousand screams' Mike Patton; though this may be a joke, as Patton was rumored to be voicing a dump truck in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which wasn't true...Word is that there was such strong fan response to that fake rumor, Michael Bay is actually employing the Faith No More singer's dynamic vocals this time out...We'll believe it when we hear it), and Rav, the metal pterodactyl. Check out the images below.


In the original Transformers cartoon series and comic book, the Dinobots were three robots built on Earth by Autobots Wheeljack and Ratchet, after Ironhide discovered a set of dinosaur bones. They are the only Autobots that can fly in robot-mode, and they included Grimlock, Slag, and Sludge. As the packaging indicates above, the Transformers: Dark of the Moon Dinobots will have different names.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released June 29th, 2011 and stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Alan Tudyk, John Malkovich. The film is directed by Michael Bay.

Vanboy
Actually there were five. They missed mentioning Snarl who was a Stegosaurus
Swoop (who is actually shown above as Rav) who was the Pteranodon. This story is from somebody who wasn't there. Leonard Nimoy has come full circle. First Galvatron now Sentinel Prime. Yea! Finally, a real actor to add weight to the franchise. I thought that there were no more Primes left alive, besides Optimus and The Fallen.
And I hate that the name Prime now is now not unique to Optimus. I hate Bay.

Until you see it dont believe it. The Revenge of the Fallen toy line included transformers that werent in the movie so therefore I would not bet on it until you see it.

Lazerbeak is definitely in the film seen in the trailers but i wonder if Bay is keeping the Dinobots away from any trailers...cause i havent seen any...if anyone can confirm via trailers that'd be good

@bawnian-dexeus - Could be, I'm no Transformers expert, that's for sure. But when I saw that in the t.v spot I automatically assumed the dinobots were in the film.

@k-man I could be wrong, but wasn't that like a vulture thing? Something completely different?

How is this news? There was a flying dragon-like transformer in the Superbowl T.V Spot. I thought that was evidence enough.
