[griffin]

These were revealed at BotCon, but here are some clearer pics from the source.
MTMTE #8 (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-more-than-meets-the-eye-ongoing-8-cover/24753/) - Grimlock
RiD #8 (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-robots-in-disguise-ongoing-8-cover/24747/) - Swoop, Sludge, Snarl, Slag

Last time we saw the Dinobots was waaaay back in Maximum Dinobots, three years ago (April 2009). Grimlock was in the custody of Ultra Magnus, and the other four Dinobots were left to themselves (it was implied that they repaired a damaged ship and left Earth some time before All Hail Megatron begins).
(For those a bit lost - IDW's TFs timeline (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/IDW_Generation_1_continuity) started with Furman's issues up until Maximum Dinobots... then a year gap before AHM... followed by another 2 year gap to the Ongoing, which led into the MTMTE/RID ongoings)
So, what has happened to Grimlock and the Dinobots/Dynobots during all that time (about 6 years in the comic universe) since April 2009?
Find out in Dinobot Month.

Wow, it's been already three years since Maximum Dinobots? Time flies!

Three years... seems so much longer because of what came straight after it. :(

I'm more interested in the other four Dinobots story, as we know where Grimmy was for most of the gap.

Well we know that Grimlock was imprisoned on that prison planet that Overlord took over in LSoTW, but broke out and seemed to escape. As for the other Dinobots, ?????

Likely got sucked into a void because there is only 1 particular Dinobot that Hasbro seems to give a damn about. :(
