Appearance

Sentinel was a tall Cybertronian. His body is primarily royal blue; with gold featured prominently as a secondary color, along; with several silver highlights and an unknown symbol on his forehead painted in yellowish-gold. His eyes were a bright shade of blue and he also had a golden set of wings mounted on his back, indicating his aerial alternate mode. After his actual colors were revealed, Sentinel had assumed a more combat-oriented battle form, where his feet permanently became thrusters, his wings had rearranged to reveal missile launchers and his arms became blasters well his head has a battle mask formed; by parts of his head and helmet.

Personality

Initially, Sentinel was presented as a humble and well-loved leader who was the living manifestation of peace and prosperity. He was also shown to be a courageous and encouraging leader, always praising the hard work of the miners who collected Energon. He was also respectful towards both Orion and D-16, after the two impressed him during the Iacon 5000 race event, and even personally thanked the two for inspiring the miners and invited them to his personal quarters so they can be patched up. But it would all turn out to be a facade, in truth, Sentinel was actually an evil, manipulative, self-serving, fraudulent, tyrannical, egotistical, deceitful, treasonous, black-hearted, and treacherous overlord who willingly sold out his own race to the Quintessons to claim power for himself and giving away their Energon to the Quintessons. He was even willing to have the miners work triple shift to collect Energon, despite the high risk of them potentially dying. He also was aware of how much of a power-hungry monster he actually was, as he brags about wanting to be a king and have power over others. He had also showed sadistic tendencies, as he personally killed each Prime in cold blood and brutally carving Megatronus' insignia into D-16's chest with a blowtorch, simply to mock him and the memory of his idol hero, showing he has no remorse for others. Sentinel had lacked any form of empathy towards all other Cybertronians, he was also quite cowardly, as he would hide behind his troops; instead of fight someone head-on; even; when he was fully capable of holding his own in a fight. Ultimately, Sentinel ends up outing himself as a despotic, arrogant sadist; who cares for no one; but himself. Despite all that, Sentinel is without fear like when the Quintessons torture him for not bringing him enough energon and promises to get the rest for them. Then when his crimes and confession are being broadcast across Iacon, he watches in terror and shock as the people have now turn on.

Powers

Powers Cybertronian Physiology: As a Cybertronian, Sentinel possesses numerous enhanced abilities due to his mechanical nature. Once he acquired Megatronus Prime's unique T-Cog, Sentinel became much stronger, with much of his body being further enhanced, especially his weapons, which upgraded to a firing from his legs and shoulders rapid-fire variant, putting him on a level equal to that of the Primes. Superhuman Strength: Sentinel’s physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary Cybertronians, allowing him to overpower most opponents with ease. Superhuman Durability: His body is highly resistant to damage, making him capable of withstanding heavy attacks and harsh environments without sustaining significant injury. Superhuman Speed: Sentinel moves with exceptional speed, outpacing most Cybertronians and performing swift maneuvers in battle. Superhuman Agility: Despite his size, Sentinel exhibits remarkable agility, allowing him to perform complex movements and dodge attacks with precision. Superhuman Stamina: He can operate for extended periods without tiring, making him highly effective in prolonged combat scenarios. Superhuman Reflexes: Sentinel’s advanced reflexes enable him to react to threats in a fraction of a second, giving him an edge in fast-paced battles. Flight: Sentinel's has rocket thrusters/jet boosters on his feet, allowing him to fly. Sentinel also has wings that he uses to fly, and with some boosters on his feet that makes him to fly more stable and faster due to the speed and balances when he fly because of the wings. The color of the booster's flames is purple, due to Megatronu's T-Cog. Longevity: Like all Cybertronians, Sentinel can live for millions of years, making him nearly ageless and able to withstand the passage of time without physical degradation. Super Mode: Similar to his anime (and lesser extent, IDW) counterparts, Sentinel can access a super mode, which grants him extra firepower, agility, and durability.

Ability

Abilities Master Combatant: Sentinel is a highly skilled fighter, proficient in various forms of combat, from hand-to-hand to advanced weaponry. His experience and battle-hardened nature make him a formidable opponent in any fight. Master Swordsman: His proficiency with swords is unmatched, allowing him to wield his blade with precision, speed, and lethal effectiveness. Master Leader: Despite his tyrannical nature, Sentinel is a master strategist and leader, able to manipulate, command, and inspire others to follow him—whether through respect or fear. His cunning leadership was instrumental in his rise to power. Weaknesses Egotism: Despite his cunning, Sentinel's biggest weakness was his own egotistical nature. His focus on his overblown sense of self-worth means that his shamelessness on his sadism and cruelty means he unwittingly provided numerous files of evidence of his vile deeds through Airachnid's memory banks. Additionally, the realization that his cover's finally been blown made him immediately cease an attack, giving D-16 the opening he needed to finish him off. Sentinel also tends to favor indulging in his sadism and drawing it out over long periods of time, meaning that he unwittingly gives his opponents a bigger opening to attack whenever he does so. In the end his words “The truth is what I make it” ultimately bites him him the end, making him sound right out of context and was ultimately foolish to think otherwise that no one will ever know who he truly was. Cowardice: For all of his boasting, Sentinel is a complete coward. When faced with an opponent he knows is superior, he will attempt to beg for mercy, as shown when he was speaking with the Quintesson High Commander and later D-16 when he was left defenseless. Additionally, despite his skill, Sentinel's tactics mainly involve sneak attacks and overwhelming bombardments from a safe distance, with his overeliance on such strategies lowering his overall combat efficiency.
