I'm assuming you are joking but in case you aren't, have you not heard of the dino-bots from the original transformers cartoon?

 

I've not seen very many episodes from the original cartoon. The ones I did see were all strictly automobiles.

Saw a screening tonight. Found it more enjoyable than the previous two, definitely improved with the new cast, but I still prefer the first. There are issues, even some inconsistencies (to my best recollection), but not nearly as egregious as the previous two films. The earlier commercials didn't do the CG justice, specifically the scene where Optimus looks up and gets shot. It's waaaay more polished and looked fantastic throughout. The movie is a solid 2 hours 45 minutes and could definitely have been shorter, but The Hobbit was far worse in that regard. There was a lot happening though, so it's not like it was padded with fluff. Tons and tons and tons of booms and destruction, and loaded with Bay-isms. 7 out of 10.

Dinobots, who are called Knights IIRC, along with Optimus (huh?), don't come into play until two hours into the movie. The end sets up for a fifth film, probably with Unicron as the creator of the Transformers, which seems to go against the All Spark creating them.
