It may surprise no one to learn that Dinobots will be making an appearance in Transformers 4. The news has been all but confirmed at this point, but producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura now seems to have put the final nail in that coffin.
"I can not disclose the specifics, but you can be sure that the arrival of the Dinobots will give the audience a lot to be excited about," the producer recently told Beijing News (via Empire). "The world's coolest, most exciting cars will appear in the film, including Chinese vehicles, so whether you are a car enthusiast or not, it will be a feast for the eyes."
It is important to note that the above quote was transcribed using Google Translate (via TFormers), so don't take this as 100% confirmation. Nevertheless, di Bonaventura's words certainly seem to indicate that Dinobots are a sure thing.
While no specific Dinobots were revealed, the traditional team includes Grimlock, Slag, Sludge, Snarl, Swoop and Paddles -- all of which are based on various dinosaurs.
Transformers 4 opens on June 27, 2014.
