He had, in fact, scanned massive, destructive vehicles for them both.Р”В®n route to Dinobot Island, Sentinel further evidenced how subtlety obviously isn't his strong point by driving through a blockade and off an overpass still under construction. Sentinel boasted to Ultra Magnus that he had taken the initiative and scanned some 'typical' Earth vehicles so they would not draw undue attention. When he heard that they'd defeated Megatron and the Decepticons, he didn't believe Optimus, almost causing a fight between him and Bulkhead. He decontaminated Optimus Prime's crew after setting a force field around the ship. When Jazz decided to take a closer look at the humans, Sentinel warned that organics could spew out slime that melts through armor plating, deliberately goading Optimus Prime with memories of Elita-1's fate. Later, the Elite Guard visited Earth to reclaim the AllSpark. When the snow starts a-falling, There's a man you should be calling. Then Bumblebee reluctantly admitted to accidentally knocking a tower on him (actually covering for Bulkhead) and Sentinel gave him and his buddy the boot (to the mudflap's joy and the bumbler's anguish). In the end, he commended Bumblebee for his role in discovering a seeming Decepticon traitor. Of course, in Bumblebee's case the extra attention was not exactly unmerited, as the little glitch-head managed to get Sentinel's feelings on whether Ultra Magnus should retire from command broadcast across the camp. Busting their transistors at every turn, he liked to conduct surprise inspections and force the recruits to chant they were worthless grease stains. Obviously compensating for being a jerk he took out his frustrations on recruits like Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ironhide, Longarm and Wasp. Endgame, Part IР”Р„fter graduation from the Academy he received an official rank as Sentinel Minor, the drill officer for an Autobot training camp. Along Came a Spider When Ultra Magnus brought the two up on a military tribuna, Optimus gallantly took the fall - while Sentinel just stood there smirking. A furious Sentinel blamed Optimus for what happened even though this whole disaster had been his idea. Optimus's radar couldn't find Elita's energy signature, and he assumed that she was dead. When he came across a ship that Optimus and Elita had found Optimus had to drag him away from the exploding energon forcing them to leave Elita-1 behind. Sentinel tried to hold them off long enough for Optimus and Elita to escape. However, they ran into a pack of massive arachnids. Sentinel took Optimus and Elita-1 on a mission to Archa Seven looking for an old Decepticon warship, hoping to get all the Energon stored within.

'You're gonna need tickets to-THE GUN SHOW!' Bumblebee sums up Sentinel Prime, ' The Elite Guard' but he sure will make their lives a living hell if he thinks he can get away with it.Р”Вon't mention his chin. To his credit, he would never actively sabotage another Autobot. Thanks to that one fateful trip to Archa Seven, he has a severe phobia of organics and burning desire to further humiliate Optimus. He really can't handle the unexpected thanks to a distinct lack of genuine field experience and inability to improvise like others in the Guard. Despite the 'stickler for the rules' aspect of his personality that has come from the loss of Elita, he seems to use the rules largely to bully his way of doing things on others. To his core, he's still the same smug act-first-think-later-maybe bot he was before, only far more focused.

but his perception of 'best interests' and how far he'll go for said interests is definitely skewed. He seems to have Cybertron's best interests at heart. His expandable Skyboom Shield is virtually impenetrable and he's a strong combatant and utterly tenacious hunter. The end result is an Autobot who could be one of the Autobots' greatest assets but is such a jerk it's hard to see how. When Optimus officially took the fall for the mission and Sentinel failed to speak up for his part of it, he placed his anger on his former friend and drove himself to climb the Autobot ranks into the Cybertron Elite Guard through strict adherence to military protocol. Though both 'bots carried the grief, Sentinel blamed Optimus for abandoning her. Sentinel was once one of the impulsive-types until a disastrous 'unsanctioned' mission he'd suggested with best friends Optimus Prime and Elita-1 ended in the loss of Elita.

And sometimes they learn the wrong lesson (or the right lesson the wrong way) and turn out like Sentinel Prime (alternatively known as Sentinel Minor, Sentinel Major, and Sentinel Magnus). Many times brash, leap-before-you-think types learn a lesson from their misadventures and use that knowledge to grow into more mature well-rounded fighters, even leadership roles. 'Where's the jerk who calls himself Sentinel Prime?'
