* While this would work with Sam and the civilians, Lennox and Epps are both high(er) ranking military personnel. Killing them off would be incredibly difficult, especially if it's made to look like an accident.




to:

*Jossed. They just look weird. Optimus calls them "Legendary Warriors" and upon seeing Grimlock in Lockdown's ship he says "The Legends are true!". Which obviously means the Dinobots are very, very old. Possibly as old as [[spoiler: when the Quintessons were doing something to Earth, 65 million years ago]].

** [[spoiler: Galvatron was built by KSI as a consumer version of Optimus Prime, but they [[TooDumbToLive decided]] to get the codes to program him from [[SealedEvilInACan Megatron's severed head]]. This worked [[BrainUploading about as well as expected]].]]

* [[spoiler: Grimlock has a brief fight with Optimus over whether or not the Dinobots will follow his command. Aside from that, they don't seem evil, and they go quietly at the end of the movie.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler: Lockdown appears to be working for the ''[[AbusivePrecursors Quintessons]]''.]]




to:

* The Dinobots never speak in the film proper, but in the Video Game, Grimlock has his normal speech and voice actor.



Seems like a slam-dunk given Lockdown's line to Optimus in the most recent trailer: "You think you were born? You were ''built''-- and they want you back". Given Ehren Kruger's apparent fondness for the G1 cartoon (based on DOTM's plot), the Quintessons are a perfect match for this description.

Michael Bay had stated a disinterest in including the Dinobots in previous films, implying that he did not think they had a logical reason to come into existence in the film universe. Well, aside from scanning animatronic theme-park dinosaurs, this seems like the best way to bring them in. Also the lack of facial features on the toys' robot modes (rare for a movie-verse Transformer whose name doesn't end in "-wave") lends credence to the hypothesis that they were created as drones.[[note]]Credit where credit's due: This Troper first saw this guess put forth by Transformers toy reviewer Dave van Domelen on his website.

Out of all the characters that have appeared in the trailers and TV spots, Optimus Prime is the only one with the same shots and dialogue repeated over and over. Coupled with the [[https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/transformers-age-extinction-character-death-revealed-161400520.html transcript of Prime's leaked voiceover]], him not making it by the end wouldn't be that out there of an assumption.

There's no way he's going to abandon the cash cow franchise after the third movie is finished, and the beast era would be the next place to take the film franchise. Since the beast era lacks PunyEarthlings that get in the way of the bot-carnage, Michael Bay can take his explosion lust to new levels. Maximals and Predacons? Boom! Alien Stonehenge? Kaboom! Mountains of raw energon? Kaboom boom!! [[ChewToy Waspinator]]? Kaboom every three minutes. [[ThatsNoMoon Vok Superweapon]]? EarthShatteringKaboom!!! [[TheMessiah Optimus Primal]]? [[ForegoneConclusion Kaboom]]-[[DeathIsCheap Revive]]-[[JustForFun Kaboom again]]. Of course, this will ruin Beast Wars forever, but what '''Hasn't''' been Ruined Forever by this point?

to:

*** Jossed. He's not in the main group of Autobots at all and probably won't appear at all since his car was never shown on set. If he does end up appearing it will likely be only a brief cameo and even then it might just be to kill him off.




to:

* He's confirmed to definitely be Galvatron. But whether or not he's Megatron revived or a different character entirely is unknown.


Added DiffLines:

[[WMG:Ratchet and possibly other returning Autobots will die early on.]]
We see him in the trailer getting hunted and fired at by humans, and he has no figures, nor was his prop car ever seen on set. He'll probably only briefly show in that scene where he's killed. Maybe not even with any lines. If Sideswipe Dino and the Wreckers show up they'll likely have similar fates, since only Optimus and Bee were confirmed to have major roles and fight in the big finale in China.


[[WMG:Sam Lennox Epps and the other old human allies were killed.]]
We see the government officials beating up Cade's daugther and pulling out guns at the drop of a hat. Since the world has turns on the bots and it's not likely Sam and friends would just let the Autobots run off, and the humans hunting them would probably figure they'd have info on them...well it probably wouldn't end well for them. Sam especially since Bee seems to have defintely been caught at some point. And its confirmed none of the older human characters will show up in any capacity.

In the teaser, Grimlock had [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], which is the key trait of a Decepticon. So, perhaps the Decepticons reprogram them to fight against the Autobots, only for the Autobots to undo the reprogramming before the final battle.
