Should Jurassic World's T-Rex reveal be kept for the film? Or shown in Trailers?

We're nearing the final stretch before Jurassic World's theatrical release and so far, there's been two full length trailers, with a new one on the way for April 8th. In those 2 trailers we've seen a glimpse of some of Jurassic World's new and returning JP Dinosaurs. Raptors, Stegosaurus, Gallimimus, Triceratops, with teasers for the new additions like Mosasaurus and Indominus Rex. However, despite the advertised listing on the Jurassic World website, we have yet to see a glimpse of the Tyrannosaurus Rex - which is the same Rex from the first move.
My question to you is - should the T-Rex be revealed in any upcoming Jurassic World trailers? Or should her reveal be kept for a climactic scene in the film?
My personal opinion - Keep her reveal for the film. She's the iconic Rex from Jurassic Park, who essentially "saved the day" and I have a hunch history will be repeating itself when it comes to our main characters trying to escape the Indominus Rex. I think, saving the Rex's epic reveal for a final boss fight at the end of Jurassic World would be such a glorifying treat to witness on-screen.
What do you think? Let me know your thoughts and opinions below!

I imagine they will do something like Avengers: Age of Ultron did for Vision. Put T. rex at the very end of the last trailer. Just a couple seconds of footage for Rexy. Just enough to get us hyped.

I think they're aiming for a Huge Cinimatic Reveal with this, Kinda like Luke's father in star wars.
To a normal movie goer, Whose not going to look at the websites, And, Might likely make up the majority seeing the movie, They won't know when or if Rex is going to show up, And then, Bam, Rexy appears and brightens everyone's day.
Something along those lines.
We might hear a roar in one of the trailers, But, I doubt we'll see any footage, We've seen more screen time of I-rex then T-rex in the trailers so far...
Life cannot be contained, it breaks walls, crashes through barriers sometimes painfully, but uh... Life uh, finds a way

I think it would probably be best to either wait until the end of the trailer for the dramatic reveal or wait until the movie itself.
Chances are I feel that waiting until the movie itself would be a much better choice because most fans would not expect it based on the trailers, so the reveal of the t-rex can easily be one of the best moments in the movie and unspoiled by the fact it's fresh and not already been shown in the trailer.

Maybe like @Gojira2K said, or maybe show a bunch of very short clips with Rexy's roar in the background.

CHRIS PICARD - I am of the opinion that Rexy should have her grand reveal in the film! I would absolutely love a sudden appearance from her - perhaps in the middle of a battle between two other animals or a chase secene in which the I-rex is seeking out the human protagonists! That would make me exceedingly happy! :)
