Sentinel Prime (Movie)

Sentinel Prime
Sentinel Prime was a member of the Dynasty of Primes which emerged on Cybertron several millennia ago from the Allspark. He and his brothers, upon learning that their life giving cubes' energy was infinite, requiring a recharging of Energon in order to function; the Dynasty issued the order to a sub group of Transformers, the Seekers, to explore the galaxy in search of a specific sun capable of producing the vital energy source. It is even possible, considering his other universe counterparts, that he was the leader of the Dynasty of Primes.

Once a seemly uninteresting planet had been found, the Dynasty traveled there where the Constructacons began building the Sun Harvester. By the time the machine was finished, the Cybertronians were welcomed by a surprise; Humanity, a living race existed on the planet, primitive, but intelligent life. This immediately stopped the harvesting as the exsistance of the Sun Harvester on ancient Earth violated the groups one rule; that no life shall be destroyed for the sake of acquiring Energon.

However, The Fallen, who valued strenght was disgusted by the weak Humanity, to the point of hatred, and in retaliation defied the ruling of the Primes by stealing the Matrix of Leadership, possibly because he also viewed his brothers weak as well for valuing a seemly lower life, but regardless his motivation was to take all of the power for himself. In which Sentinel Prime and his other brothers did battle with The Fallen's forces. It is unknown if the Primes fought alone or if they too had supporters, however, considering the fact that they later had to retreat from the battle makes this seem unlikely. However considering the combat prowess of the Prime linage as evident by Optimus and The Fallen, they could have easy enough defeat the lower grade Transformers on their own. Once they reached The Fallen, they gang up on him, and before he could recover, they took back the Matrix, and in their final act, sealed away both The Fallen in his sarcophagi while hiding the Matrix in a tomb made from their bodies, along with Sentinel Prime. However, in secret they preserved a member of their linage by sending him back to Cybertron, unaware of his importance.

Eventually in the present, Sentinel's name will resurface when it was was spoken by Sam Witwicky after dowloading Cybertronian knowledge from a survivng Allspark shard, and was likely the one who held the Matrix within the Tomb of the Primes in Petra. He was last seen in Sam's vision among his other faithful kin to speek to the Human about the nature of the Matrix of Leadership, and in gratitued for giving his life in trying to save their last decendant, Sentinel Prime and his brothers made their last acted by resurrecting Sam, and when he returned the Matrix sensed the return of the one who earned it and reassembled itself, which was then used to bring back the last of the ancient Dynasty.

In the movie universe, Sentinel Prime, like the rest of his brothers, was armed with telekenesis, a staff spear weapon, and the abilty to use a Space Bridge for long distance travel
