One way they could go is to make them triple changers, having vehicle forms to blend in, humanoid as the normal configuration and dinosaurs (or at least, their closest cybertronian counterparts) for their battle modes.

I'm so conflicted on this one! On one hand, I'd love to see live action Dinobots, but on the other, I know how out of place they would be. I think that maybe it would be best if it was only Grimlock, and he arrived with some other regular autobots as their commander, and then he just scanned some badass tank or something. I think that his speech will be fine, as long as they make keep it "Me Grimlock. Badass.", and not "Me Grimlock kick butt!" I always thought of Grimlock as a Batman type character with a speech problem.

How bout, Present the DinoBots, as an elite AutoBot Commando Team, Similar to Navy Seals, Green Berrets, Grimlock is the squad leader, and the rest of the Dinobots are his squad, remake them as Tanks, Abrams, Chalangers, Lepeorads, Stingrays, and have old Swoop as a Hind Helicopter, but focus on the Special Forces Aspect, each one has a specific role, with Grimlock being an all around bad ass, but not as good as his guys in Specific areas. have them appear near the end of the film, to Back up the Autobots, and just a general Focus on the Specilization, Heavyweapons, Demolitions, Airsupport, Rifleman, Commander. this way you can show the Military Aspect that the fiction is usualy missing.

Steven Speilberg will figure out a way for Grimlock to incorporate the T-rex from Jurassic Park.

This seems like one of the more well thought out ideas I've come across concerning adding the Dinobots into movie sequels. It would be cool if they resembled prehistoric looking creatures, but they weren't quite dinosaurs from earth in design. Their 2nd alt mode could be a left over disguise from a visit to a different alien planet with prehistoric looking creatures.

I actually have an idea.

The Dinobots could be in the movie but not called 'Dinobots'. Just let that be a nickname. Anyway the 'Dinobots' could have landed near one of those monster truck events. They all scan various different cars for their alt modes, but they also scan a truck-a-saurs. So what i am getting at is they could be combinicons that merge to form a truck-a-saurs and we shall call him Dinobot.

I'm just kidding, i really DON'T want to see the Dinobots appear in any movie...the characters were cool back then but in live-action they might not be believable.

Could see it very easily....always the clean em up and get them
out guys. There would probably be an art/robotics/museum kind
of environment. Then...what the slag?// the exhibits are coming
to life...devastator,whoever. They show up when needed. Blending in and hiding wouldn't be a major concern.

I actually like the 'Dinobots as a Rogue Element' slant.
Theyre still good guys but basically they dont care about blending in and as far as theyre concerned Op can go suck an exhaust pipe.
They would come to Earth with a job to do and pick the most appropriate (and powerfull) form to get the job done.

Which wouldnt be no wimpy ass Chevy!
