In a few instances throughout the third season of the Generation 1 animated series, the Constructicon Long Haul appears in the U-Haul Robot's color scheme. Guess AKOM got their "Hauls" mixed up! But his Ark merely crashed somewhere near Earth in 1962, a fragment of it landing in Fiesole, Italy. When a human discovered it in 2011, Starscream and Soundwave tried to prevent the Autobots from getting that fragment and finding their way to the lost Ark. The Autobots finding Sentinel was not an option for Starscream and the concept unnerved him... Apparently, the fragment had the power to make martyrs of the good and bad alike. Fight for Fiesole Mega-Mouth The retelling of Unicron's origin in the UK comics included a brief glimpse of a dying Matrix bearer passing the Matrix of Leadership to Optimus Prime. However, as he is unnamed, the only way we can presume this being is Sentinel Prime is because, as we are told later, Sentinel Prime was the leader before Optimus. Fun fact: " State Games" calling Optimus Prime "Optimus Prime" means Sentinel does this pre-war!

million years ago, Sentinel Prime faced Megatron on the battlefields of Tyrest. The Ultimate Guide He proved no match for the Decepticon leader; with his last words, he tried in vain to reason with Megatron, but Megatron was unmoved by his "sermon and doctrine" and slew him. Sentinel, however, had considered his death a likely possibility, and had already removed the Matrix of Leadership from his body before entering battle, preventing Megatron from acquiring it. The War Within #4 Sentinel Prime is great. He's great...I can't tell you anything else, other than he's great. Michael Bay [2] Long ago, Sentinel Prime was the leader of the Autobots before Optimus Prime during the war on Cybertron. But as the conflict dragged on, with no end in sight, Sentinel found himself forced to make a drastic choice: a secret alliance with Megatron. Believing that it was only through the sacrifice of another world that Cybertron could be restored, Sentinel developed teleportational space bridge technology to transport resources across interstellar distances—but, knowing that Optimus would never condone his course of action, Sentinel kept his plans a secret, claiming the bridge was a means of transporting troops into battle. Sentinel's intention was to depart for the chosen planet— Earth—and meet Megatron there later, but during the battle that erupted around the departure of Sentinel's ship the Ark, the vessel was damaged and sent spiralling off into the depths of space, presumed lost forever. The war was left to continue with none save Megatron aware of Sentinel's treachery. Sentinel's Elite Guard clashed with Orion Pax's outlaws over the hot spot and, well, turned out not to be that elite: Sentinel hired bruisers, not people with brains. He lost the hot spot to Pax. All Our Parlous Yesterdays In this mode, Sentinel has four more 5mm MechTech ports: one each on either shoulder and one each on either forearm. If that's still not enough, the screw holes under his wrists can accommodate 5mm weapons as well, for a total of eight weapons beyond those included with the figure. The Primax Blade and Shield can both be held via their respective handles in either of Sentinel's articulated hands; the shield can also be plugged into the MechTech port in Sentinel's forearms. While (possibly) unintended, one of his sword’s blades can be popped off to simulate the Primax blade’s one-sided form seen in the movie.He includes two hand-held, non-firing blasters which can be combined to form a larger double-barreled weapon. The larger gun or the combined mode can be piloted by a Titan Master. Each weapon has multiple pegs which can be mounted on the wing struts, wing tips, knees, or shoulder slots. Sentinel himself can be piloted from a translucent yellow cabin between his rear stabilizers.

Sentinel Prime was rescued from the Moon by Optimus, but then turned all evil and stuff. Take Us Through the Movies Sentinel actually looks pretty decent. But where's his shield? Blitzwing is disappointing. The chest is fake, the alt mode is inaccurate… urgh… Like, was a fake chest really necessary? Sentinel Prime didn't receive a proper toy until 2016, but he did come close previously. As revealed in the Transformers Collectors' Club roundtable panel at BotCon 2007, the original concept for the convention- exclusive redeco of Deluxe Class Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was Sentinel Prime. The mold DOES bear a decent resemblance to his IDW appearance, but in the end it was decided that Springer was a better choice for the mold (and likely for the ongoing club comic story). Though more of a coincidence, the tab on Sentinel's left forearm can attach with the rectangular hole behind the Mechtech Leader Class' shield. In the Battle of Chicago scene from Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Sentinel Prime battles his protégé to ensure the survival of Cybertron.

Transformers Studio Series 61 Deluxe Class Action Figure: Sentinel Prime

Following an uprising of working-class robots, Sentinel Prime sent Alpha Trion to investigate the gladiatorial pit fights in Kaon, and the emergence of the Decepticon movement. Alpha Trion uncovered Senator Ratbat's involvement in the whole affair, and reported his findings to Sentinel Prime. Megatron Origins Demand?" Who are you to demand anything? I run this town! You're just a bunch of low income nobodies!" Sentinel's 2007 IDW design was based on his first (and otherwise only prior) appearance in the 1988 Marvel comics panel shown above. The resemblance is a little more obvious in Spotlight: Optimus Prime than it is in his more stylized appearance in Megatron Origin, but his yellow-red-and-orange armor, crested helm, and the row of three small "windows" on his chest are all derived from his Marvel look. IDW's Sentinel is also very heavily armed, not unlike the description of the character given by the Hardwired novel. During the Cybertronian Civil War, Sentinel Prime was killed. Prior to his destruction, he bestowed the Matrix of Leadership to Optimus Prime, who became the new leader of the Autobots. Transformers Online [2] But then people, namely myself, would be complaining about an inaccurate robot mode. The fact that they were able to put F-4 details on the robot modes means they could have, and I would’ve been more upset if both modes were compromised. The F-4 details of the chest make up a distinctive part of Blitzwing’s design, and I’m really damn happy they were able to keep those despite everything else. We also don’t know how close they can actually get with the jet mode. Maybe it wasn’t a case of “trying” but of having to be this different legally.

I would like to take this opportunity to one again point out just how well-done and accurate the sculpted detail on these Studio Series molds can be. You can really tell they are leaps and bounds above the concept art-originated figures of the earlier films' toylines. Of course, it's not always accompanied by the proper paint applications to bring it truly to life, but it's still there if the owner so desires to do that themselves. The chest is actually slanted down at an angle versus the rest of his body. This is a deliberate design choice and makes it really weird as Sentinel is looking up if you pose him standing straight.Millions of years later, during the war on Earth, the Matrix used a vision of Sentinel Prime to strengthen Optimus Prime's resolve during a battle with Megatron by confronting him with the claim that Megatron had chosen Optimus to be Prime, knowing that he was weak. Megatron's alleged influence over the Prime selection process was never substantiated. Soon after, the Keepers created a robotic duplicate of Sentinel Prime to confuse Optimus and undermine his confidence. Though possessing all of Sentinel Prime's considerable abilities, Optimus eventually realized that the duplicate had been created from his own memories of Sentinel Prime, and was incapable of doing anything new. Optimus destroyed the duplicate of Sentinel Prime, having largely overcome his own doubts about his fitness to be Autobot leader. Hardwired Sentinel was also part of a crowd that waited at the finish line of a race between Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron. He cheered for Bumblebee as he finished the race, though it turned out Optimus had already won the competition. The Big Race Attinger's playing card of Sentinel Prime was barely visible in Age of Extinction. It wasn't until a prop auction for the Transformers film series held in 2019 that a clearer view of the card was shown. [11] Sentinel was a direct descendant of Primus, the first Cybertronian, and one of the last surviving Primes. With a firm but just hand, he ruled the Autobots before the war. During the war, he named Optimus his successor before departing on a mission into deep space, only for his ship to be shot down by enemy fire...

Sentinel Prime was in the audience of a tag battle pitting Optimus Prime and Bumblebee against Megatron and Starscream. Last Bot Standing He was in the audience of a dance competition too. Bot Stars You're absolutely right. For it even look like it could take off the ground, the stabilizers both horizontal and vertical need be substantially bigger. Since clearly an F-4 semblance wasn't gone for, I much would've rather they ditched the puny horizontal stabs and just made a bigger vertical stabilizer down the middle like a Euro delta. Underside kibble aside, it just doesn't look like an aircraft that could even realistically fly.Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), Hisashi Yuki (TakaraTomy), Andrew Scribner (deco artist), Emiliano Santalucia (concept artist)
