Not only did Michael Bay keep his promise to bring Dinobots in for Transformers: Age of Extinction, but he also introduces Galvatron to the live action franchise.And then refuses to give him any substantial screen time. Trading Decepticons for GoBots while Giving Galvatron Short Screen Time Maybe Michael Bay is saving their best moves for Transformers 5. While Optimus Prime claims they are the greatest warriors in the galaxy, we don't see too much of that prowess on display. But then they are freed into the wild to roam Hong Kong at their leisure. Here, he's turned into Optimus Prime's bitch! The Dinobots merely show up for the climatic end battle to chomp on GoBot knock-offs, breath fire, and put the Dolby sound system to work. Grimlock is a strong presence and fierce leader in the comics and animated series. And the other handful of Dinobots are barely introduced or mentioned by name. And while the wait is a long one if you're showing up just to see Grimlock on the big screen in action, you may be disappointed by his eventual reveal, as no character service is done at all. Its almost as if the maniacal Michael Bay planned it that way. This happens right at the moment most kids will have to pee. While we do get to see some real dinosaurs in the sequel's opening salvo, its not until the 2:20 mark that the Dinobots make their first appearance known in the movie. Well, as they sat down in their seats, they didn't realize the wait was going to continue on well into the third act of the movie. Many fans who abandoned the franchise after three lackluster installments were pulled back into the fold purely on the idea that director Michael Bay was ready to introduce the Dinobots, fan favorite characters since the late 80s.
