As he stampedes away, he turns/flips and his body begins the transformation into his robot form as well. To the right of him we see Slug transforming mid run. If you watch closely, you can see Grimlock roar with a burst of fire before he transforms into his immense robot form – but that’s not all. As we watch the end portion of one if the new TV spots, we see what looks like the Dinobots getting thrown around on the bridge but this is actually then transforming.
This time around, it’s solid proof that the Dinobots DO transform in the movie.ĭespite the accompanying toy line – and the fact that the Dinobots always transform – many still wondered if they’d assume their robot modes in the film. Once again this scene confirms something we knew for a while, but had yet to see substantiated on film. When I brought up this scene last time, it was solid evidence for a lot of things we already expected: more Dinobots and them working with the Autobots. Though story element isn’t the only thing we learn here. Whether all of the Autobots and Dinobots pause to do battle, or if they split up and some continue on while others stay and fight is unknown. Something apparently intercepts our heroes along the way as they must immediately shift into robot mode to do battle. Initially this looked like part of a ‘travel montage’ where they all head to the final battle but it’s actually something much more.
Last update I showed you all a scene where we saw the Autobots and Dinobots side by side crossing a bridge. So what’s so important about these little clips that last no longer than 30 seconds? A lot! So let me catch you up one final time before this new Transformers Trilogy begins. Whereas sometimes this could end up spoiling the film, these new TV Spots have done nothing but make me and others more excited for this film. With a week and a half until Transformers 4: Age of Extinction hits theaters, we are learning tons of new stuff by carefully studying the new TV Spots.
