Fiction
Age of Extinction film
The Dinobots (some of them, at least) were captured aboard Lockdown's ship as trophies until the Autobots detached that section to free Optimus Prime. When the ship eventually crashed in China, Optimus decided that time had come for reinforcements to battle Galvatron's forces and freed the Dinobots, calling them to join him. Grimlock battled Optimus for dominance, but was beaten, and the Dinobots agreed to help the Autobots. The Dinobots' massive size, strength and ferocity turned the tide of battle in the Autobots' favor in the nick of time, swiftly defeating the prototypes in Hong Kong until Lockdown returned. The Dinobots were trapped in Lockdown's magnetic vortex, but Optimus destroyed it, freeing the Dinobots. The Dinobots helped hold a bridge so that Joshua Joyce could get to safety with the Seed. After the battle, Optimus dismissed the Dinobots from his command, allowing them to roam free on Earth, and the Dinobots parted on good terms with the Autobots and set off on their own.

Notes
- The Dinobots go unnamed in the film, bar Scorn getting nicknamed "Spike" by Crosshairs. The word "Dinobot" is never mentioned on-screen either, as Optimus only refers to them as "legendary warriors".
