Sentinel Prime (One)

Sentinel Prime is a Transformer fromOne.

Surely he must be more trustworthy thanthe otherones, right?

Sentinel Primeis the sovereign leader ofCybertron.Sadly the last survivor ofthe original Primes,he has nonetheless carried on the legacy of his fallen comrades by leading Cybertron into an era of peace and prosperity. He always encourages the mining class to work harder and harder, because they're those kind of good guys who don't mind working hard for everybody else, right?

Sentinel is the kind of leader who inspires everybody with his tales of bravery and heroism. He fended off those nastyQuintessonsand now his main goal is finding theMatrix of Leadershipso Cybertron can thrive even more than it already is under his rule. He loves workers who can think for themselves, though! They're just what aPrimeneeds to motivate the rest of their ilk into keeping up the hard work. After all, a Prime is nothing if he cannot inspire his people to stick to protocol and produce for their planet. No siree.

Sure hope God lets me open the Theocracy Machine!

Sentinel was the chief advisor of the Primes, but not a Prime himself, and always craved more power and control. After Cybertron became entrenched in a war against the Quintessons, Sentinel's jealousy of the Primes was joined by a growing contempt for their repeated defeats and repetitive heroic speeches. Consequently, Sentinel approached the Quintessons with a deal: if he led the Primes into an ambush to be slaughtered, the Quintessons would allow him to appoint himself the new leader of Cybertron under their thumb who could provide them with a constant supply ofenergon.The Quintessons agreed, and Sentinel reported to the Primes that he'd intercepted a message about an important meeting of the high command of the Quintessons in adistant caveon the planet's surface. The Primes, eager to decapitate the leadership of the Quintessons, followed Sentinel to the cave only to be besieged by the aliens. The Primes nearly triumphed over their attackers until Sentinel chose a critical moment to turn on his superiors, slaying several includingMegatronus Primehimself. After killingZeta Prime,the battle was over. Sentinel went to claim his prize of the Matrix of Leadership, but it faded to dust due to his not being worthy. Down but not out, Sentinel declared himself SentinelPrime,took the deceased Megatronus'transformation cogas his own, and announced to Cybertron that the Quintessons were defeated and that he was the last survivor of the Primes. With the planet failing to produce fresh energon in the absence of the Matrix, Sentinel removed the transformation cogs of most of Cybertron's lower classes and put them to work mining for energon to produce a tribute to the Quintessons.

sure hope nobody overthrows my autocracy

Over the next fifty cycles, Sentinel entertained the masses with races such as theIacon 5000and regularly claimed that he had been on searches for the Matrix to keep up morale, while actually spending the trips hunting for the rebelliousHigh Guard.During one Iacon 5000, Sentinel was surprised when he noticed two miners,Orion PaxandD-16,blast their way into the race and nearly triumph before losing at the last second. Sentinel was amused by the display but was pleasantly surprised when miner production of energon ramped up during the next worker shift. Sentinel approached the two miners and thanked them for inspiring the mining class to work harder and invited them to patch themselves up in his personal quarters, but also instructed them to make a publicity tour among the miners to hype up production even further. However, unbeknownst to Sentinel,Darkwing,nursing a wounded ego from the pair interrupting him during the race, reassigned them to waste management.

"More like Alpha TRYIN', am I right?"

The time came for the next tribute to the Quintessons, and Sentinel delivered a portion of the required tribute alongside his lieutenantAirachnidand some troopers. TheQuintesson High Commanderwas very displeased with the unmet quota and threatened Sentinel, who promised to work his miners harder to make up for it. Sentinel ordered the mining shifts to work triple-time until they finally met the quota, unaware the whole exchange had been witnessed by Orion, D-16,Elita-1,andB-127.Sentinel sent Airachnid to investigate their trail, and Airachnid eventually found and delivered the weakenedAlpha Trion,who had told the four young 'bots the truth, to him. Sentinel mocked the old-timer for his pontificating and killed him after learning that others had witnessed his true nature, and once again dispatched Airachnid to hunt down the threats to his lies.

Hey, remember how I looked in IDW?

Eventually, Airachnid returned with D-16, B-127,Starscream,and a chunk of the High Guard as prisoners to Sentinel's tower. D-16 angrily confronted Sentinel for his treachery, but Sentinel laughed him off and insisted the truth would be whatever he declared it would be for Cybertron, and plotted to publicly execute his prisoners. When D-16 refused to kneel and continued to challenge him, Sentinel noticed his Megatronus decal and sadistically welded the symbol into his chest. Soon, however, an army consisting of Orion, Elita-1, and the remaining High Guard invaded and Sentinel soon faced a freed D-16 in combat. As the situation spiraled out of control, Sentinel was able to best D-16 in combat but noticed too late that Orion, Elita-1, and B-127 were using Airachnid's memories to broadcast his true nature to all of Cybertron, leading to a mass uprising. D-16 turned the tables on Sentinel and had him at his mercy until Orion took afusion cannonblast meant for him. D-16 allowed Orion to fall to his apparent death and turned his attention back to Sentinel, tearing the false Prime in half with his bare hands and finally killing him for his atrocities. Shortly afterwards, D-16 took back Megatronus' cog from Sentinel's corpse, completing his transformation into Megatron.One

Of course, if you breathe a word of this, I'll pull you apart bit by bit.

• Sentinel Prime(Galaxy Version, 2024)
  • Series:Galaxy Version 05 - One
  • Accessories:2 open hands, 2 swords, spare peg-and-ball piece, spare ball-and-ball piece, stand

BlokeesSentinel Prime is a 4.25 inch tall non-transforming buildable figure, appearing once in every case of nine blind boxes. As with the rest of his wave, Sentinel features an upgraded suite of standard body parts, with sturdier hinge joints and slightly more complex builds than their Generation 1 counterparts.

Sentinel Prime includes the usual pairs of gripping fists and open hands, a pair of swords that he can hold in one hand, and a two-studded connectable figure stand.

It was perfect. Perfect. Everything. Down to the last-minute details.

• Sentinel Prime(Classic Class, 2024)
  • ID number:14
  • Accessories:2 pairs of hands (grip, open palm), dual-bladed sword, energy shield/dual-barreled cannon, battle mask, 2 shoulder blasters, 2 shin blasters, 2 jet feet, 2 figure stands, 2 energy impact effects

Released as part of Blokees'Classic Classmodel kit line, this Sentinel Prime is a 4.5-inch tall non-transforming Deluxe/Prime Changer-sizedGunpla-style model kit with pre-painted parts on the runners. He also features a torso frame that lights up upon shaking (or at leastlightly tappingsome areas on the torso), causing the eyes to glow for a limited time. Aside from the usual display stand, the similar pairs of hand parts, and a dual-bladed sword, Sentinel also comes with additional pieces of armory to complete his battle mode. While the pieces are molded on a touch-gate runner for easy removal of parts without nippers or tools, the former is required for a cleaner cut. Unlike the rest of the Classic ClassOnecharacters, Sentinel features open C clip-like hands to accommodate his dual-bladed sword. Note that the hands can only accommodate accessories with roughly 4mm pegs. If one desires, Sentinel can utilize the closed weapon-holding fists from the same line's Megatron, as they share identical sizes and dorsal sculpts.

For some reason, Sentinel's entire torso is permanently in battle mode. He also lacks additional weaponry, such as the upper thigh missile pods and the standing battle mode feet.

Though the parts list mentions that it comes with 3 translucent ball joints, the kit comes with 4, with an extra surplus piece in case one of them unexpectedly snaps off. Unlike the film, the arm-mounted double-barreled cannoncannotattach directly to the left forearm panel. And unlike his on-screen appearance, the golden fin is only present on the right forearm, while the left one is omitted. This can be solved by purchasing another copy of the kit for the piece to make it symmetrical.

Notes

"Listen,miner:I'm thePrime.And I can do whatever thescrapI want! "

• Sentinel Prime is a combination of his different namesakes. His blue and gold color scheme, combined with his portrayal as a "false" Prime and a Quintesson-backed puppet ruler, evokesSentinel Zeta Prime,his counterpart in theAligned continuity family,while his wings and collapsible dual-bladed sword call back to hislive-action film counterpart.Meanwhile, his heavily armed battle mode appears to be inspired by hisIDW comics counterpart,specifically hisApex Armor-clad form inMegatron Origin#4.One specific detail is that his knees apparently take their shape and detailing from theTitans ReturnSentinel Prime toy.
• Sentinel never transforms in the movie, opting instead to fly around in robot mode. The Prime Changer toy's packaging features his vehicle mode, which is a slightly modified version ofStarscreamand the Seekers' alternate mode model. The Studio Series packaging also features an entirelydifferentvehicle. None of Sentinel's toys adhere closely to the Prime Changer render, though the Studio Series toy is fairly close to the one on its box.
