The dinobots were a bunch of criminals who fled cybertron and crashed to earth 65 million years ago, scanning and assuming dinosaur form. They were then involved in some climactic event (or maybe a battle so apocalyptic that it triggered the ice age). They are so brutal and stupid as they are so old and basic compared to newer bots.

Constructicons are easy to introduce, have dinobots turn good halfway through movie and fight former comrades, the cons.

The end.

Am I a genius or what?

I like the idea of the dinobots being like a special forces that was the first dispatched to find the allspark, getting caught up in the last cataclysm, and being unearthed by someone.

Damn, we already did that one... Megs!

Did anything say HOW Megs got frozen in the first place or are we to assume that it was the same event that flash froze the north and south poles.

The reason prowl just appears is because at the end of the movie prime activates a beacon summoning the remaining TF's to earth. Prowl doesn't need an origin, just some character development.

And you can't just throw in a list of robots unless they are needed, otherwise the movie gets crowded and is spending too much time introducing characters and not enough time on the story advancement, remember Batman Returns? 1.5 hours of character development, 30 mins of story.


Do we really need Devastator perse', not really. A gestalt? Definately. we've already introduced 2 combiners in part one, brawl and blackout (vortex). They can be rebuilt, and resparked with a piece of Bruticus, Starscreams creation. this fits G1, while my conflict between grimlock and prime analogs to War Within...

kinda canonical, kinda movieish
