Latest images from Hong Kong seems to suggest Dino / Mirage will return for Transformers: Age Of Extinction. The robot made its debut on Transformers: Dark Of The Moon and quickly went on to become one of the favorite bots from the Live Action Movie Franchise. Though officially called as Dino (in honor of the late song of Ferrari Corporation Founder) he was known as Mirage on various merchandise including the Official Game, Comic Book and SpeedStars Toy Car from Hasbro.
The vehicle mode of Dino / Mirage on DOTM was a Ferrari 458 Italia; known as one of the best Ferraris ever made by Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear (and Hammond… and May). However, the spy photos from Hong Kong are of a 2014 Ferrari 458 Italia Speciale. If it is indeed Dino / Mirage, then he too may have received an upgrade like his cool buddy Sideswipe of Transformers 3.

I thought something like this, because they are just shipping to customers. I saw one in Toronto yesterday.

I'm pretty sure that 458 Speciale was shipped to Hong Kong for Ferrari HK's 30th Anniversary celebration and not for TF4. You can see the car in this video:

I doubt it

Just a thought on this. Is it possible this has no connection to the filming, and was just being shipped to China for delivery? They are a big market for super cars.

Maybe Grimlock and crew won't actually be in this, it'll just be the this red car guy and his friends. We can call them the Dino-bots.

I've been wanting a toy of DOTM Mirage ever since I first saw him. Man I hope we get an actual toy now.

PLEASE BE DINO!!! I WANT A DINO TOY SO BAD!!! MY DOTM COLLECTION IS MISSING YOU:,-(
It would be nice if we got like a human alliance mirage, don't you agree?
But if I had to bet, the dude is probably a decepticon, stunt icon. After all, the black cab is rumored to be Motormaster, so it only would make sense for some stunt icons to be in there.

I love Bay because he gives us these hilarious threads:

If dino is back and sideswipes not…
there will be a shitstorm caused by me.

I hope Bay is just doing what he does and we're actually going to see what happened to most of the major characters.

With him and Leadfoot back, I'm one happy Transformers fan. I do hope we get Sideswipe back as well. He and Dino are 2 of the better looking transformers
