Transformer 3

Transformer 3 in the make? which is suppose to be Dinobots?
As a preemptive measure, Paramount announced a July 4, 2011 release date for a third Transformers film before completion of Revenge of the Fallen. Bay responded, "I said I was taking off a year from Transformers. Paramount made a mistake in dating Transformers 3 - they asked me on the phone - I said yes to July 4 - but for 2012 - whoops! Not 2011! That would mean I would have to start prep in September. No way. My brain needs a break from fighting robots."[164] Like Revenge of the Fallen, Orci refused to guarantee whether he and Kurtzman would return to a sequel, because "we risk getting stale".[165] Orci has mentioned he would like to introduce Unicron "for scale's sake".[102] The co-writer also said introducing Triple Changers would be interesting.[166]

Before Transformers was released, producer Tom DeSanto had "a very cool idea" to introduce the Dinobots,[167] while Bay was interested in an aircraft carrier, which was dropped from the first film.[168] Orci claimed they did not incorporate these characters into Revenge of the Fallen because they could not think of a way to justify the Dinobots' choice of form,[17] and were unable to fit in the aircraft carrier.[25] Orci also admitted he was also dismissive of the Dinobots because he does not like dinosaurs ("I recognize I am weird in that department," he said),[169] but he became fonder of them during filming because of their popularity with fans.[170] He added "I couldn't see why a Transformer would feel the need to disguise himself in front of a bunch of lizards. Movie-wise, I mean. Once the general audience is fully on board with the whole thing, maybe Dinobots in the future."[171]
