In every trailer, the only Dinobots to make an appearance were Grimlock and Strafe. Minus a couple of TV spots. And they always showed the same shot of Bumblebee jumping into Strafe's feet, and literally about 4 or 5 shots of Grimlock, total. They weren't the focus of the movie's story, at all, so why anyone would expect them to be in the movie any longer than they were is beyond me. Hell, I'm surprised they got as much screen time as they did. They served their purpose, and kicked more ass than every Transformer in the first movie combined. They probably even had more screen time than every Transformer in that movie, combined.
Considering a LARGE chunk of the advertising/media was about the Dinobots showing up, maybe more than twenty minutes at the end of a three-hour long slog of crap?
Because AOE makes me appreciate the 1986 movie more, and that takes some doing.
They showed up, didn't they? It doesn't matter how damn long they were there. Be glad they showed up at all.
No. I will NOT be happy with their incredibly short screen-time, their incredibly boring designs that had them all blend together, them showing up pretty much out of nowhere in the last twenty minutes of a three-hour movie or... anything about them in AOe1
Yes, it does matter how long they were in it, especially considering how much of the pre-movie hype and the toyline was about them. It sucked. It sucks. It will suck. AOE sucked.
