Sentinel Prime (TFA)


 * Sentinel Prime is an Autobot in the Transformers Animated continuity family.



Sentinel Prime is a member of the Cybertron Elite Guard under the command of Ultra Magnus. Sentinel has a history of rivalry with Optimus Prime. His earth alt-mode is a monster truck/snowplow hybrid.

He's kind of a jerk.

Years ago, Sentinel Prime took Optimus and Elita One looking for an old Decepticon warship, hoping to get all the energon stored within. However, they ran into a pack of massive arachnids. Sentinel Prime tried to hold them off long enough for Optimus and Elita to escape. When he came across the the ship that Optimus and Elita found, Optimus had to drag him away from the exploding energon, forcing them to leave Elita One behind. Optimus Prime's radar couldn't find Elita, and he assumed that she was dead. A furious Sentinel blamed Optimus Prime for what happend, even though this whole disaster was his idea. Jerk.

Years later, he's still a jerk. When Optimus Prime rings up the Cybertron Elite Guard to tell them of the Decepticons in pursuit, he sneers that a screw-up like Optimus isn't worth the attention of Ultra Magnus. Piping through a visual of the All Spark from the cargo hold of the Ark shuts him up quickly enough.

Trivia

 * Like another sentinel of liberty, Sentinel Prime's signature weapon is a round shield that he wears on his arm and throws around the room like a discus. The shield can also project a protective force field.
