Animated Sentinel spent the whole show becoming a character I hate to love. Every time he felt on the verge of something deeper or some sort of self improvement, he dug in his heels and went backwards, and apparently that was the perfect formula to make me madly invested in the character arc I knew he would never achieve. His legs also helped. Animated character designs were basically flawless.
Animated Sentinel Prime is criminally underrated. Most just think he's a dick, and dislike him for it. Sentinel is just so much deeper then that, and is an amazing written character. Animated was a gem.
@@holoqofholoqqia9503 ...Yeah. Chris talks about it in the video. He was called Sentinel Prime in Exodus and Zeta Prime in the game, so Hasbro decided to just kinda clumsily merge the two.
Blue and orange fits Sentinel Prime really well, since Optimus is Blue and Red. Red is a more deeper and more vibrant shade of Orange, which kind of acts as symbolism. While Sentinel Prime is only a leader by name and title alone, Optimus has the true values and traits of a good leader. I feel like that distinction in color scheme is lost if the character designers decide to go with orange and red from now on, because the color scheme seems a bit too bright. More like Hotrod’s style, but that’s just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's also a trope on TVtropes called "Blue-and-Orange Morality" which applies to instances in which a particular person or people in fiction have a non-conventional view of morality.

Leonard Nimoy was a good actor. He played many voice characters. Who played Galvatron for the original cartoon movie. And set an a prime for the recent movie. He was a good actor. I miss Lillard Nemo. May he rest in peace. Thank you for the video it was good
tbh I honestly loved TFA Sentinel as a character. I know a lot of people blindly hate him, but I liked when he was on screen because I knew something was going to happen because of him. Be it something good or bad. Never a dull moment with Chintinel Prime around.
Kinda weird how in beast wars the Maximals created a self defense program they named "Sentinel". First episode it appears it has a malfunction (thanks to Rattrap and Dinobots infamous bickering) that turns it on its creators, then later in season 3 episode "changing the guard" it gets captured by and utilized by the predacons Point being Sentinel Prime being turncoat was sort of alluded to before Animated....
I liked the original incarnation, but the one in Dark of the Moon made for a powerful antagonist. If you haven't done so already, a basics on the Primes ( as far as leadership succession goes ) would be great.
I would of love the original script for Dark Moon where Optimus and Megatron set aside their differences and work together to take down Sentinel Prime and Megatron decides to exile himself in the end
What angers me about Animated Sentinel is that he is still Magnus after the series was cancelled! I want him off-lined by a Cosmically Powered Starscream so Optimus can be Magnus.
My favorite Sentinel Prime is IDW´s depiction by far. He has much more personality and we know his true goals, as well as it´s design is my favorite as well!
So we would've had a new season where Sentinel fail at becoming a Magnus...damn you Cartoon Network Less Teen Titans go and a new Transformers Animated Season.
Magnus is not a title. Rumor is result of naming mistake, where Sentinel was initially referred in promotion material as Ultra Magnus, until they correct it and they introduced actual Magnus later.
TFNation this year is having an exclusive, behind-closed-doors script reading of the original outline for what was going to be Season 4's three-part opener. Of course, its super secretive nature means absolutely no recordings are allowed. Which means either we need to hope Hasbro decides to officially complete Season 4 at some point, or we need to hope someone inside either clandestinely records the audio or has a really good memory and writes everything down.
That'll truthfully and wholeheartedly happen again when we get an proper fourth season and/or fifth season of Transformers Prime and also an proper end of the Transformers Aligned Continuity, and not a half-hearted spin-off that deliberately and stubbornly and willingly pisses all over the Transformers Aligned Continuity. Since Hasbro doesn't seem to have any plans nor any interests to do any one of these things, to see Transformers Animated get another season would be great, but for now, there are zero chances of that ever happening again at this point and injuncture.
@@matryxgeounlymyted56quarde9Aligned was a hot mess that Hasbro deliberately shattered by making Prime so distant from the War for Cybertron series, and by making Robots in Disguise 2015 so distant from Prime. Animated has an unparalleled level of consistency between the animated show and most of the ancillary media. You're just being salty about Prime getting RID as a sequel. And trust me, that salt is justified. But don't take it out on Animated, _especially_ when Hasbro decided a Prime sequel would be more profitable.
@@blam320 - I ain't taking that anger out on Transformers Animated. I'm saying that getting a proper conclusion to the Transformers Aligned Continuity would be as possible as getting any more seasons of Transformers Animated, which Hasbro doesn't seem to be that interested in doing either of these things as of now. If you had truthfully and wholeheartedly read what I say previously, that I wouldn't be opposed to another season of Transformers Animated, but as of now, Hasbro doesn't seem to have any clue about what direction they want to take Transformers in and nor do they want to revisit any prior continuities that they've previously had made themselves. So if there are any other plans for Transformers that Hasbro's interested in, that doesn't seem to sound nor look to me that any previous continuities, and that's including Transformers Prime and Transformers Animated, are on any one of these plans that they have for the present and future of Transformers overall.
@@matryxgeounlymyted56quarde9If you had been paying attention to what Hasbro's been doing in recent years, they're obsessed with revisiting previous continuities - Generation 1 especially. New comics with the G1 aesthetic, including a Marvel G1 Comics prequel by IDW that will run parallel to their rebooted universe. The new War for Cybertron toyline is entirely dominated by G1, and in fact the whole Generations line has been G1 dominant since Combiner Wars debuted. They have no plans for anything non-G1 until the Beast Wars 25th anniversary comes out, and even then, evidently the Cyberverse animation crew had to fight to get the likes of Cheetor, not-Lugnut, and Lockdown into the show.
feels like this videos will need update soon. with his appearance on Transformers ONE , another appearances will soon follows in other transformers media
That's one of the reasons why he's mostly known for, and he's my bayverse favorite too because of his design and mostly, his character development that led to an amazing twist (killing ironhide) to which a lot of people cry about and hate him for. -People hating him for that made it proof that Sentinel did an awesome portrayal of his role in dark of the moon.
I’ve always liked TFA for a number of reasons. It’s different take in Optimus was extremely compelling, and relatable. A former Elite guard trainee who fell from grace and was reduced to a maintenance worker who becomes the eventual hero of earth and Cybertron. I liked His rivalry with Sentinel, you got a nice sense of their history together and it gave them both a lot more dimension
I'm gonna go with "Animated" Sentinel Prime as my favorite incarnation. Yeah he's a massive jerk, but at least he always gets his comeuppance for his blockhead decisions. Plus, he did have an interesting backstory with Optimus, and his design and voice are too enjoyable to ignore. I will say though, his "Titans Return" toy looks really cool, especially his train and spaceship modes.
Transformers Exodus (aligned continuity) is my favorite adaptation of sentinel. It portrays him as a washed-up, but humble leader with a heart of gold. Sentinel realizes that he's not cut out for the turbulent times ahead, but does his best, ultimately dying in a vain attempt to thwart Megatron. There's a really nice scene where Sentinel laughs at a struggling comedians jokes in order to help boost the guy's confidence. Sadly, none of this made it to the video game
I actually do hope Sentinel will continue to live on as Cybertron's fallen hero. Someone who in his mind thinks he knows what's best for Cybertron and sees himself as the one doing what's right despite how wrong he truely is. A villain who thinks he's the hero.
Another amazing episode. Also, one of the few times where the live action version of the character can be said to be the most interesting and most well characterized version.
"Check out the Astro sized chin on, Sarge..." ... Lowkey. I kinda want a Basics episode on, Trigger Happy. Even though he's one of the most tertiary and one off characters ever.
DOTM was my favorite Bayformer film. Had bad ass Shockwave & drillerbot, bad ass Optimus with his trailer/jetpack, powerful Sentinel Prime, even NEST had that incredible scene flying through buildings in Chicago.
Heroes generally have to be young, and naive enough to not see the problems that gave rise to their enemies in the first place. When they get older, they see the problem, and try to correct it. But in doing so they are often considered tragic villains.
I don’t think we really needed to see Sentinel’s downfall in Animated. The subtext of the final few episodes really spelled it all out. He was tricked by Lockdown, beaten effortlessly by Swindle, Optimus disregarded his orders, Ratchet took the Magnus Hammer, his Lieutenant Jazz ditches him, Alpha Trion and Perceptor clearly don’t approve of him, and while he’s oppressing his fellow Autobots on Cybertron, Optimus actually brought down Megatron and his inner circle, brought back Omega Supreme, and returned with the Allspark in tow. Not to mention Ultra Magnus wasn’t actually offline. The writing was on the walls that Sentinel wouldn’t remain in charge for long.
I prefer the bearded elderly of the movies over the masked bulky warrior of the “generations/titanmaster” Although I hope we see more of this guy later on, as a traitor or hero.
Now that Transformer One is out, I think you can selectively start to update all these characters videos to their new reincarnations. Enjoyed your Basics video like always, keep it up!
Irony here: Leonard Nemoy played Galvatron in Transformers The Movie then years later plays Sentinel Prime in Transformers DOTM. He played the villain twice in Transformers. Well done.
My favorite sentinel is the 2019 IDW Run of the character. Mainly because while he was prideful, stubborn and militaristic, everything he did, he did for what he considered ever lasting peace for the universe
Poor Sentinel. From a tragic historical figure we assumed to be a good guy to becoming yet-another-crooked Prime. It seems modern Transformers writers are truly intent on making Optimus the only bearer of the Prime mantle who isn't a villain.
DOTM Sentinel is not just my favourite version of Sentinel, he's my favourite character in all the movies. I even repainted his titans return toy in his DOTM colourscheme, which works amazingly well with a Scourge head.
I really like DOTM Sentinel but I knew he'd be a villain when they announced Leonard Nimoy (RIP Spock) as his voice actor. He voiced Galvatron in the animated Transformers: The Movie and even DOTM had Wheelie foreshadow his turn, when he said, "This is the one where Spock goes nuts!" Classic! Also, keep Zeta and Sentinel separate characters.
Animated Sentinel's colors are almost like the G1 cartoon version, and I wish there was a toy based on that old cartoon appearance because that alt mode looks so cool.
Dreamwave may not have had a particularly long run, and their books met with mixed reviews at the time, but I do feel they did a lot to consolidate the overall continuity of the Transformers (particularly G1) and made a tremendous, lasting impact with their deepening of the lore. They took so many concepts that the G1 cartoon and Marvel comics had only briefly touched upon, and updated and expanded upon them in ways that really stuck to this day. In the long run, their Transformers comics had a positive impact on the franchise overall, and their creative legacy has far outlasted the actual company.
Animated’s version Sentinel Prime was the first I had ever heard of this character, and his jerky personality made me dislike him. When I went to see Dark of the Moon, I was excited to see two Primes fight side-by-side and hoping that Sentinel would be a better and more likable character. I came out of the theater shocked not only that the two Primes end up fighting each other, but also that Sentinel was worse in Dark of the Moon than he was an Animated.
Am I the only one who hated the idea of him being secretly a Titan Master ? Kinda reduced the impact of his death in Megatron Origins and also made Megatron look like an idiot by not noticing that Sentinel was a Titan Master
5:46 Actually, there's a TFNation 2017 comic where Optimus Prime becomes part of the Elite Guard, and Sentinel Prime now became a repair bot with his own crew.
Man i like knowing Sentinal was a good prime and not a fallen...because there was already a fallen prime. He can be more like an elder leaser that has already passed on the matrix.
Novel and comic adaptations indicate that the script to the movie explained this as being the fault of Starscream, who was unaware of the secret deal Megatron and made, and led the airstrike that took the Ark out.
While I normally like G1 versions of chars in this case I like Zeta Prime from the games. Both design and character wise. A leader figure with positives - but flawed enough it makes sense for him to be ultimately replaced by Optimus.
I allways thought "what could have happened if the DOTM Sentinel Prime didn't betray the autobots?", like, when the autobots rescued him and Optimus revived him, and then in the time he was in the team, Sentinel change his oppinion and breaks the pact with megatron.

... Lowkey. I kinda want a Basics episode on, Trigger Happy. Even though he's one of the most tertiary and one off characters ever.
DOTM was my favorite Bayformer film. Had bad ass Shockwave & drillerbot, bad ass Optimus with his trailer/jetpack, powerful Sentinel Prime, even NEST had that incredible scene flying through buildings in Chicago.
RIP LEANORD NIMOY for being sentinel prime. I'm still mad for sentinel killing iron hide
Heroes generally have to be young, and naive enough to not see the problems that gave rise to their enemies in the first place. When they get older, they see the problem, and try to correct it. But in doing so they are often considered tragic villains.
I love how Sentinel Prime's characterization always ranges from incompetent xenophobic narcissist to mass-murdering traitor.
Animated Sentinel Prime is my boy!
Boi
Animated had no business being so good.
I don’t think we really needed to see Sentinel’s downfall in Animated. The subtext of the final few episodes really spelled it all out. He was tricked by Lockdown, beaten effortlessly by Swindle, Optimus disregarded his orders, Ratchet took the Magnus Hammer, his Lieutenant Jazz ditches him, Alpha Trion and Perceptor clearly don’t approve of him, and while he’s oppressing his fellow Autobots on Cybertron, Optimus actually brought down Megatron and his inner circle, brought back Omega Supreme, and returned with the Allspark in tow. Not to mention Ultra Magnus wasn’t actually offline. The writing was on the walls that Sentinel wouldn’t remain in charge for long.
I prefer the bearded elderly of the movies over the masked bulky warrior of the “generations/titanmaster”
Although I hope we see more of this guy later on, as a traitor or hero.
What about the jerk with the massive chin from Animated?
Now that Transformer One is out, I think you can selectively start to update all these characters videos to their new reincarnations. Enjoyed your Basics video like always, keep it up!
I’d love to see the basics on Bulkhead. I think he is fairly popular and is one of my favorites
Yeah! I only know Bulkhead from Animated and Prime, and he was great!
@@thesupershinymegagengar2034 energon: am i a joke to you
@@ferfender007 Me: "Yes. And I've never even heard of you."
5:19 I laughed so hard when optimus found sentinel's head when I first watched that show oh my childhood
i never see Optimus Prime laugh that loud in any version of transformer ever
Yesss!
Karma for Sentinel. LOL!
Best part is I have season 2 on DVD so I can rematch that any time I want
@@owenobrien1351 Lucky you! I just wish RID 2001 was available on DVD in North America.
5:10. Don't you mean butting CHINS?
Sentinel in Transformers Animated was really funny, especially when he got owned by optimus
Would love a MP figure of his G1 form, such a unique design.
7:48 "All in the next exciting episode of... The Transformers: The Ultimate Doom!"
We need an update on this video !!
TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on RODIMUS PRIME
Yes! Please
Yes please!!!! Please make one!!!!
TRANSFORMERS THE BASICS ON VECTOR PRIME VS SUNSTORM
He gets a lot of hate, but I personally enjoyed him (especially his appearance on the PS2 game based on gen 1)
White Darkness it’s sad that he’s so hated, I think he’s a great Prime
Okay that laugh from Optimus when he found sentinel’s head is classic.
Irony here: Leonard Nemoy played Galvatron in Transformers The Movie then years later plays Sentinel Prime in Transformers DOTM. He played the villain twice in Transformers. Well done.
Honestly, say what you want about the bayverse, sentinel prime was a badass villain
My favorite sentinel is the 2019 IDW Run of the character.
Mainly because while he was prideful, stubborn and militaristic, everything he did, he did for what he considered ever lasting peace for the universe
Agreed
TFA one is better for laughs, but yeah I prefer a much more good guy sentinel
Poor Sentinel. From a tragic historical figure we assumed to be a good guy to becoming yet-another-crooked Prime. It seems modern Transformers writers are truly intent on making Optimus the only bearer of the Prime mantle who isn't a villain.
DOTM Sentinel is not just my favourite version of Sentinel, he's my favourite character in all the movies. I even repainted his titans return toy in his DOTM colourscheme, which works amazingly well with a Scourge head.
I really like DOTM Sentinel but I knew he'd be a villain when they announced Leonard Nimoy (RIP Spock) as his voice actor. He voiced Galvatron in the animated Transformers: The Movie and even DOTM had Wheelie foreshadow his turn, when he said, "This is the one where Spock goes nuts!" Classic! Also, keep Zeta and Sentinel separate characters.
I like his design from dotm
I love how titans return’s Sentinel is basically Eren Jeager
@@FierceBerillious I’m swell how are you, this comment sure did age well
Love his catchphrase “No, Optimus.!!”, always makes me laugh.
The only thing I liked about sp in the bayverse is his legendary voice actor, Leonard nemoy.
My grandfather met Leonard Nimoy once. He was one of his biggest fans.
Animated Sentinel's colors are almost like the G1 cartoon version, and I wish there was a toy based on that old cartoon appearance because that alt mode looks so cool.
Dreamwave may not have had a particularly long run, and their books met with mixed reviews at the time, but I do feel they did a lot to consolidate the overall continuity of the Transformers (particularly G1) and made a tremendous, lasting impact with their deepening of the lore. They took so many concepts that the G1 cartoon and Marvel comics had only briefly touched upon, and updated and expanded upon them in ways that really stuck to this day. In the long run, their Transformers comics had a positive impact on the franchise overall, and their creative legacy has far outlasted the actual company.
He just went from absolute jerk, to corrupted leader of Cybertron, to wise old mentor that betrays Optimus, to Homelander.
I like how Sentinel was killed by Megatron in the G1 he died while he was good
Animated’s version Sentinel Prime was the first I had ever heard of this character, and his jerky personality made me dislike him. When I went to see Dark of the Moon, I was excited to see two Primes fight side-by-side and hoping that Sentinel would be a better and more likable character. I came out of the theater shocked not only that the two Primes end up fighting each other, but also that Sentinel was worse in Dark of the Moon than he was an Animated.
if you see the origins of the dotm sentinel you’ll think otherwise.
9:00 I guess it's good to know that even Cybertron has boomers.
I've only seen the Animated and Live Action versions of Sentinel Prime, Which is why I tend to hate him as a character.
Are you telling me that IDW Sentinel is a boomer?
Sentinel: Why are you doing this?!
Megatron: Ok Boomer
Am I the only one who hated the idea of him being secretly a Titan Master ? Kinda reduced the impact of his death in Megatron Origins and also made Megatron look like an idiot by not noticing that Sentinel was a Titan Master
@@WhyTho525 they milked sentinel so hard he came back to life
I agree with you there.😞
Every evil version of him is lmao
5:46 Actually, there's a TFNation 2017 comic where Optimus Prime becomes part of the Elite Guard, and Sentinel Prime now became a repair bot with his own crew.
Man i like knowing Sentinal was a good prime and not a fallen...because there was already a fallen prime. He can be more like an elder leaser that has already passed on the matrix.
kind of going back through in anticipation for One, perhaps a Basics on IDW's short-lived 2.0 run before the skybound takeover?
I honestly liked how dotm gave him a betrayer’s fate. But wish he was explored more
This channel speakin' 'bout the live action movies without hate...
So dang refreshin'!!
Nice finishing line at the end, very fitting. Also Sentinel Prime from DOTM
So if Megatron and Sentinel were in cahoots, why did the decepticons shoot him down?
Novel and comic adaptations indicate that the script to the movie explained this as being the fault of Starscream, who was unaware of the secret deal Megatron and made, and led the airstrike that took the Ark out.
Leonard Nimoy Sentinel Prime was amazing! His music, his appearance, his fighting style, epic all around.
Sentinel Zeta's vehicle form was one of my favourites to use in Fall of Cybertron's multiplayer.
Miss that game
This was my favorite episode so far! Good job Mr. McFeely!
When I need info on any transformer, i can always come here.
While I normally like G1 versions of chars in this case I like Zeta Prime from the games. Both design and character wise. A leader figure with positives - but flawed enough it makes sense for him to be ultimately replaced by Optimus.
The thought of a Prime being a villain, I’m not use to that it goes to show you not all Primes are good as golden.
Wait, is that Grandus at 5:34?
Damn i love Animated so much.
I allways thought "what could have happened if the DOTM Sentinel Prime didn't betray the autobots?", like, when the autobots rescued him and Optimus revived him, and then in the time he was in the team, Sentinel change his oppinion and breaks the pact with megatron.
