The only thing I love about sentinel is that he unironically said "nuh uh" when confronted by D16. this guy literally said "nuh uh" to the biggest allegations of his life
@@galaxy_kitten95 It's crazy that the Thirteen Primes trusted Sentinel without doubt which led to their downfall. Maybe he was genuinely loyal to them and dependable at first but then became ambitious and wanted to get rid of the Primes so he can have the power to himself.
@@TheWarmachine375 From what he was saying to Alpha Trion, it seems the Primes were actually losing the war against the Quintessons, and relied on Sentinel to help them plan their strategies. At some point, he probably got fed up with what he saw as a long string of failures and decided he could run things better. That, and he also just wanted the power that came with being a Prime.
@@ditto7047 True, it does seem weird that the Thirteen Primes were losing to the Quintessons despite these are the same guys who threw hands against Unicron and won. Maybe the Thirteen Primes sacrificed their godly power and became mortals albeit still powerful to seal away Unicron, and then they altered the Archives to not mention the Chaos Bringer and the Thirteen's battle against him.
G1 Sentinel Prime: Whoever holds the Matrix of Leadership, Alpha Trion, if they be worthy, shall possess the touch to light our darkest hour. TFA Sentinel Prime: Smell ya later, Optimus Prick! DOTM Sentinel Prime: I must do whatever is necessary to keep Cybertron alive, even if it means allying with the Decepticons. TFOne Sentinel Prime: I'm the ruler of Cybertron, and I can do whatever the fuck I want!
Agreed. Dark of the Moon and TF One and even Animated versions were not actual primes. I would like to think that primes are noble and would like to see the real Sentinel Prime some time. I'd like to think of him as a cross between Alpha Trion and Ultra Magnus. The little we saw of him in G1 he seemed like a good guy.
Animated Sentinel: “wow, I know I was a jerk, you all are psychopaths!” G1 Sentinel: “indeed, despite your faults, you’re practically Primus in comparison to those guys.” (Seriously, Animated was jerk at first, but deep down he’s a good person, especially after his character development. We don’t talk about how the would-be season 4 completely ignored that development.)
I dunno, I think Season 4 would've worked out well building off Season 3 considering Sentinel was already halfway to tyranny when he stepped up as Magnus. And showed *no* signs of slowing down or wanting any accountability or checks on his power. Remember, he was champing at the bit to fire on Omega Supreme, even when Alpha Trion and the other council members were subtly blockading and delaying his requests out of concerns he was going to waste precious energy resources and endanger them all. Even the official Season 3 ending doesn't show him possibly growing, as he subtly grumps at Optimus getting a warmer welcome with all the main 'Cons caught. If left unchecked, even with Optimus around, Sentinel would've gone full-tilt "the ends justify the means" in stopping the 'Cons once and for all. He's been that way since the accident that took Elita from him and demoted Optimus, believing he's in the right all along because *someone* has to do what's necessary. ...and that's why I actually now blanch in horror realizing that D-16 in One is scarily similar to Animated!Sentinel in how both are the opposite sides of the same coin, the only difference being the side they'd champion for their mad self-righteousness.
Actually in an expanded video by the guy who did a lot of research into Season 4 amd even attempted a version of it, he got a copy of the version of the original plan to Season 4 before changes were made and then getting canceled. It said that Sentinal would realize what he was becoming during the finale and see the error of his ways and step down, letting Optimus take command.
Hopefully the next Sentinel Prime is a genuinely heroic character I’m not ashamed to say it. Srsly, props to G1 cartoon, Aligned and IDW 2019 Sentinels for not being evil at all
As someone who’s only seen the first bayformer movie prior to seeing TFO, my impression of One’s Sentinel was that he was fed up with the Primes’ bureaucracy and its impact on the war with the Auintessons, and decided Cybertron would be safer if they just signed a peace treaty. He just got greedy along the way.
@TheWarmachine375 I wouldn't go that far. In IDW before he came back he upheld the law without realizing how horrible life was for lesser Cybertronians, in WFC he was a war hero who enforced the harsh old ways of his people leading to the war but he definitely does care about protecting others, and Animated Sentinel speaks for himself. They're all morally gray without being a straight up villain,
@@unclefranklin4575 In War For Cybertron, that was Zeta Prime you're referring to. And Transformers One made him as one of the Thirteen Primes as they don't reuse Optimus Prime being the reincarnation of the 13th. Or else it'd be seen as Orion Pax reclaiming his divine birthright than being chosen for being worthy of the Matrix of Leadership.
@TheWarmachine375 it was intended to be Sentinel. He's called that in prequel novels and early builds for the game. And I believe he's also called Sentinel in the WFC comic. It's brought up in the video. His colors also seem to be designed after either the G1 robot who would become Sentinel, or his animated version
All three have one thing in common: they're all arrogant jerks. Two of them got what they deserved. The Animated one I believe would have eventually been replaced by Optimus Prime as supreme commander of the Autobots while he would have had a mental breakdown and became Nemesis Prime.
Is it bad I just watched transformers one for the first time earlier, now I see this pop up? Lol (Btw, amazing work dude.been watching this series for years)
Animated sentinel, chef's kiss. He has a puncheable face, an ego that rivals starscream just without the traiterous agenda and will do anything to increase his own rep if it meant being number 1 to his peers and higher command members. Easily my favorite take of the character. Its too bad we never got that season 4 of animated cause I wanted to see how this would play.
TF One Sentinel is basically what you get when you put Animated and Bayverse Sentinel along with Kaido and celestial dragons from One Piece into a blender, making him the most devious concoction of the character ever
I loved the whole Luciferian “reign in hell, or serve in heaven” aspect they did with Sentinel in TF One He even has wings and was a former servant of Primus
I just love how much of an A*hole that every person who worked on Sentinel Prime made him. Like he is literally the Autobot equivalent of Starscream who actually doesn’t care about justice, loyalty or honour and is just out for himself. I remember cheering for Zeta Prime in the WFC game before finding out that his actual full name being Sentinel “Zeta” Prime, everything what happened to him later was truly justified.
At this point I have a love/hate relationship with Sentinel, because I love his DOTM version but yet hate him for all the horrendous stuff he did in other universes (great video as always!)
When you really sit down and think about it, Sentinel essentially ENSLAVED Cybertron and created systematic racism. Not every Cybertronian was stripped off from their cogs. But, since every miner didn’t have their cogs, were openly mocked and ridiculed for being cogless against their will.
YES! Been wanting this retrospective! Sentinel Prime is definitely a favorite character of mine, I love most all his designs (minus animated) and loved him as the villain in TF ONE.

Also Sentinel Prime from Transformers One took qualities from his most popular versions(His Animated counterpart's colours and ego and his live action counterpart's treachery and selfishness) and combined them into one. Also Animated Sentinel had already made deals with the bad guys to inflate his own ego, twice. Also Like i said Sentinel is the Absolute Worst killing Ironhide in the bayverse, being a jerkvand Blaming everybody but himself and think he's a great leader but he isn't just so stupid in animated and Transformers one i can't even explain what he did to those who have their T cogs and killing the primes and working with the Quintessions, Also thank you for sharing Rodimus keep up the good work stay safe out there in Florida have a good night have a Happy Halloween and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂💪🟢🏋️💯🦸❤️👍👊🎃🇺🇲✌️💪🤘🥷 5:24 am.
Animated Sentinel Prime is my favorite version of the Characters and if the series got renewed for a 4th Season(Which it still deserves to) then we could've seen him redeemed himself and help Optimus take down Megatron.
Five faces of darkness or should I know previous commanders of Autobot Supreme Commanders in the past of origins in G1. I like also Transformer One Sentinel Prime has the charisma and sarcastic character. He pwned most the 13 Primes in ambush.
1:12 actually it was the second. the first was the creator and creation war as the quintesson war, optimus and megatron war was the peace and freedom wars the third war. The second was the expansion war when autobots stated to fight back. Ultra primal made the connection when she reviewed five faces of darkness
I love One Sentinel, they took the vile IDW version and just mixed in Homelander, with a bit of Handsome Jack. Best version, the Megatron Origin callback with his “apex mode” was such a deep cut.
Holy cow.....has it really been 22 years since Dreamwaves "The War Within".....where did the time go.....thats long enough for new born babies to now be grown adults....i'm getting old.lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sentinel Prime from Transformers One took qualities from his most popular versions (his Animated counterpart's colours and ego and his live action counterpart's treachery and selfishness) and combined them into one.
@@RodimusPrimalone thing I wondered is how do you think TFA Sentinel Prime would react to his other incarnations? Finding out that he's always the villain, tyrant, or predecessor. Only there to fall so that Optimus Prime (someone he hates) can rise, basically being nothing more than a second fiddle
Whether for better or for worse, if it wasn't for our decade hiatus from the franchise that me and my brother chose to take after ROTF, along with us still learning the deep lore overall, the reveal and incredibly dark plot twist of Sentinel Prime in Transformers ONE was even more surprising than it otherwise needed to be! This is making me wonder if we should just take a break from lore channels and consume the classic content some on our own just so we could not risk being spoiled anymore! That being said, wonderful retrospective Rodimus!
I feel like having SENTINAL as a bad guy in a re-occurring film type ,after already being a bad guy was a good move for the directors.! We all new SENTINAL was a bad guy from the bay verse it only reinforces that feeling but in another universe
Great Retrospect, really learn a lot more about Sentinal than what I was shown, but I'll always love Nimoy bringing his "Needs Of The Many" quote to Dark Of The Moon, only OG Star Trek fans will get that.
Rodimus originally being apart if the elite guard in Animated is so bizarre, that's like Luke training Obi Wan. I completely forgot Leonard voiced 2 Transformers characters, that's incredible.
This was an Incredible Masterpiece for Sentinel Prime. My Ranking of Sentinel Prime in The Transformers Franchise 1: Transformers Film Series (Leonard Nimoy) 2: Transformers Generation One (Jack Angel) 3: Transformers The Aligned Continuity (Troy Baker) 4: Transformers One (Jon Hamm) 5: Transformers Animated (Townsend Coleman)
Before all the Sentinel Prime hate happens can we all agree that this Bot has been one of The Best Antagonist in the Transformers Movies if not History like DOTM Sentinel in my opinion has a pretty good villain motivation and TF One Sentinel is just messed up but Awesome. I have friends that don't watch the TF Movies so when they saw TF One Sentinel turn out to be a bad guy they were like dang I've never see a Villan that straight up Gaslight a Whole entire Planet and Race and basically is the whole reason the Decepticon and Autobots War happens.
I hope his idw design gets a figure in the future, I love the 2 big canons on his back and his robot and vehicle modes, I’m praying age of the primes gives us sentinel 😎🙏
Animated Sentinel was originally meant to be Rodimus has me very interested. I wonder what he would have looked and what vehicle mode he would have had? More than likely how he appeared later in the show.
The G1 animators would frequently mix up Constructicon Long Haul and the U-Haul Robot and color Long Haul with U-Haul's color scheme. That's why Long Haul would be in wacky colors while the other Constructicons were colored correctly.
I actually have come to accept the idea that Sentinel Prime is a complete jackass, since he is after all Optimus Prime's predecessor, and it makes sense for the most beloved leader of the Autobots to be the replacement for a bot that nobody wanted to have around as commander anymore. lol
I once thought about a version of Sentinel Prime who sought to forcibly merge the Matrix of Leadership with his Spark, so that, in his mind, no one could succeed him, even preparing to even rename himself Infinitus Prime.
It’s pretty fascinating how Sentinel Prime started out as a character who gave Optimus Prime the Matrix of Leadership before he died. It makes it very funny Hasbro would let the TFA Crew use Sentinel instead of Rodimus, as Hasbro just didn’t care for Sentinel.
While watching Animated, my only impression of this guy was from Transformers ONE. So the entire time I was waiting until it reveled he did something horrible. I honestly really like him in Animated. He was a huge jerk but his character was so entertaining I found him really funny
I love megatron as much as the next person. But when it comes to movies they really nailed sentinel not once, but twice. He is pretty much an Iconic villain of transformers by now.
Like I say Sentinal is the Absolute Worst killing our boy Ironhide in the bayverse, being a Jerk and Blaming everybody but himself and think he’s a great leader but he isn’t just so stupid in animated oh and Transformers one i can’t even explain what he did to those who have their T cogs and killing the primes and working with the Quintessons
In my series Optimus wasn’t a prime when he got to earth. He was the current prime’s second in command. And sentinal was vying for the same position, though he was willing to do some more shady stuff to try and get the position
G1 Sentinel Prime seems like a pretty chill compared to his more modern iterations.
Oh, he's definitely no better.
Haha yeah the way he turns into the train is brutal@@konstantinszelcs2766
@@konstantinszelcs2766all depends how he is written

Easily my favorite take of the character. Its too bad Season 4 of Animated cause I wanted to see how this would play. Also Sentinel Prime from Transformers One took qualities from his most popular versions(His Animated counterpart's colours and ego and his live action counterpart's treachery and selfishness) and combined them into one. Also Animated Sentinel had already made deals with the bad guys to inflate his own ego, twice. Also Like i said Sentinel is the Absolute Worst killing Ironhide in the bayverse, being a jerkvand Blaming everybody but himself and think he's a great leader but he isn't just so stupid in animated and Transformers one i can't even explain what he did to those who have their T cogs and killing the primes and working with the Quintessions, Also thank you for sharing Rodimus keep up the good work stay safe out there in Florida have a good night have a Happy Halloween and until next time TILL ALL ARE ONE.🙂💪🟢🏋️💯🦸❤️👍👊🎃🇺🇲✌️💪🤘🥷 5:24 am.
Animated Sentinel Prime is my favorite version of the Characters and if the series got renewed for a 4th Season(Which it still deserves to) then we could've seen him redeemed himself and help Optimus take down Megatron.
“SPOOOOOOOOON!”
-TFA Sentinel, probably
Hope you had a good time at Baltimore. Wish i could have gone. Maybe next year
Poor Sentinel, he either turns evil or die in any storyline.
Five faces of darkness or should I know previous commanders of Autobot Supreme Commanders in the past of origins in G1.
I like also Transformer One Sentinel Prime has the charisma and sarcastic character. He pwned most the 13 Primes in ambush.
Awesome video on Sentinel Prime
1:12 actually it was the second. the first was the creator and creation war as the quintesson war, optimus and megatron war was the peace and freedom wars the third war. The second was the expansion war when autobots stated to fight back. Ultra primal made the connection when she reviewed five faces of darkness
I love One Sentinel, they took the vile IDW version and just mixed in Homelander, with a bit of Handsome Jack. Best version, the Megatron Origin callback with his “apex mode” was such a deep cut.
Sentinel Prime is an unscrupulous patriot, his loyalty is to Cybertron & not the Autobots or Decepticons.
We Are God's once All of Us.But here there will only be One!!
Holy cow.....has it really been 22 years since Dreamwaves "The War Within".....where did the time go.....thats long enough for new born babies to now be grown adults....i'm getting old.lol.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey rodimus primal nice video dude keep up the good work
GREAT INFORMATIVE video as always!!! ❤😁👍
Thanks! Till all are one!
@@RodimusPrimalone thing I wondered is how do you think TFA Sentinel Prime would react to his other incarnations? Finding out that he's always the villain, tyrant, or predecessor. Only there to fall so that Optimus Prime (someone he hates) can rise, basically being nothing more than a second fiddle
Whether for better or for worse, if it wasn't for our decade hiatus from the franchise that me and my brother chose to take after ROTF, along with us still learning the deep lore overall, the reveal and incredibly dark plot twist of Sentinel Prime in Transformers ONE was even more surprising than it otherwise needed to be! This is making me wonder if we should just take a break from lore channels and consume the classic content some on our own just so we could not risk being spoiled anymore! That being said, wonderful retrospective Rodimus!
Great video! Thanks Rodimus!
I feel like having SENTINAL as a bad guy in a re-occurring film type ,after already being a bad guy was a good move for the directors.! We all new SENTINAL was a bad guy from the bay verse it only reinforces that feeling but in another universe
Let's hope someday Sentinel can Show why he was a Matrix Bearer and no a scumbag
Dotm sentinel prime was my favorite and still is because of his design and his role as a final movie villain of a good trilogy
Great Retrospect, really learn a lot more about Sentinal than what I was shown, but I'll always love Nimoy bringing his "Needs Of The Many" quote to Dark Of The Moon, only OG Star Trek fans will get that.
Rodimus originally being apart if the elite guard in Animated is so bizarre, that's like Luke training Obi Wan.
I completely forgot Leonard voiced 2 Transformers characters, that's incredible.
0:54 Rest in peace Jack Angel thank you for voice acting with Transformers Community 😞🫡
Love to get a legacy G1 Sentinel Prime or just the other primes all together lol great video!❤
This was an Incredible Masterpiece for Sentinel Prime.
My Ranking of Sentinel Prime in The Transformers Franchise
1: Transformers Film Series (Leonard Nimoy)
2: Transformers Generation One (Jack Angel)
3: Transformers The Aligned Continuity (Troy Baker)
4: Transformers One (Jon Hamm)
5: Transformers Animated (Townsend Coleman)
Ive always loved Sentinel. My first exposure to him was dotm and wfc i found him so interesting as the predecessor while also being corrupt
Funny I am actually in the process of editing the review of this figure from TF One
You have Mainline Sentinel Prime (TF One)?! Cool. I would recommend you wait for the Studio Series one though!
Excellent Retrospective!💙🧡
Before all the Sentinel Prime hate happens can we all agree that this Bot has been one of The Best Antagonist in the Transformers Movies if not History like DOTM Sentinel in my opinion has a pretty good villain motivation and TF One Sentinel is just messed up but Awesome. I have friends that don't watch the TF Movies so when they saw TF One Sentinel turn out to be a bad guy they were like dang I've never see a Villan that straight up Gaslight a Whole entire Planet and Race and basically is the whole reason the Decepticon and Autobots War happens.
Sentinel Prime in g1 cartoon Marvel, UK and dreamwave comics: previous Prime
Sentinel Prime in IDW and afterward: jerk and/or villain
I'm surprised that U-haul Sentinel never had a figure, not even from third party
Same here. It could still happen though. They did give us the War Dawn set.
Sentinel will always be my favorite Transformer. Plus his DOTM design is my favorite.
I hope his idw design gets a figure in the future, I love the 2 big canons on his back and his robot and vehicle modes, I’m praying age of the primes gives us sentinel 😎🙏
Animated Sentinel was originally meant to be Rodimus has me very interested. I wonder what he would have looked and what vehicle mode he would have had? More than likely how he appeared later in the show.
I don’t know how I didn’t see that Transformers: animated Sentinel Prime is just The Tick as a transformer. That makes so much sense now.
G1 Sentinel: 😇 (i think)
Dotm Sentinel and Tf One Sentinel: 😈👹
The U-Haul Robot is the only one worthy.
Beyond cool, I have always like him.
I'm maybe one of five Sentinel Prime fans? So I appreciate the deep dive!
Who else didn't even know that G1 had a prior civil war? I am very dense
ONE Sentinel would be the type to say “The needs of the many are outweighed by the needs of the few.”
BABE WAKE UP ANOTHER RETROSPECTIVE VIDEO FROM RODINUS PRIMAL!
One Sentinel Prime got off easy, had Megatron not killed him, he’d face the wrath of every bot he wronged.
The G1 animators would frequently mix up Constructicon Long Haul and the U-Haul Robot and color Long Haul with U-Haul's color scheme. That's why Long Haul would be in wacky colors while the other Constructicons were colored correctly.
I actually have come to accept the idea that Sentinel Prime is a complete jackass, since he is after all Optimus Prime's predecessor, and it makes sense for the most beloved leader of the Autobots to be the replacement for a bot that nobody wanted to have around as commander anymore. lol
So we going to gloss over the whole optimus and megatron being slaves who arose up against the quintasons?
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez I was more focused on Sentinel Prime for this video.
I once thought about a version of Sentinel Prime who sought to forcibly merge the Matrix of Leadership with his Spark, so that, in his mind, no one could succeed him, even preparing to even rename himself Infinitus Prime.
It’s pretty fascinating how Sentinel Prime started out as a character who gave Optimus Prime the Matrix of Leadership before he died.
It makes it very funny Hasbro would let the TFA Crew use Sentinel instead of Rodimus, as Hasbro just didn’t care for Sentinel.
My definitive Sentinel Prime is definitely Animated, but Transformers One is a worthy version without a doubt.
While watching Animated, my only impression of this guy was from Transformers ONE. So the entire time I was waiting until it reveled he did something horrible. I honestly really like him in Animated. He was a huge jerk but his character was so entertaining I found him really funny
I love megatron as much as the next person. But when it comes to movies they really nailed sentinel not once, but twice. He is pretty much an Iconic villain of transformers by now.
Like I say Sentinal is the Absolute Worst
killing our boy Ironhide in the bayverse, being a Jerk and Blaming everybody but himself and think he’s a great leader but he isn’t just so stupid in animated
oh and Transformers one i can’t even explain what he did to those who have their T cogs and killing the primes and working with the Quintessons
Sentinel always the last false prime before optimus became prime
Me to almost all Sentinel Primes:
"I hate you in every universe."
Had to cut it short haven't watch the new movie yet. Great video up to then. Got my k.i.t.t. today looks great. Just box is roughed up
I need to put up time stamps so it's easier to skip that part if you wish.
In my series Optimus wasn’t a prime when he got to earth. He was the current prime’s second in command. And sentinal was vying for the same position, though he was willing to do some more shady stuff to try and get the position
Huh…I always referred to G1 Sentinel as U-Haul Rhino. Didn’t know they finally named him.
@@shibumi8 now you know and knowing is half the battle!
Could you imagine IDW 2019 and Animated Sentinel’s reactions towards what One’s version of Sentinel Prime?
