DOTM Sentinel Prime Originally Called Ultra Magnus

Transformers live action movie blog has posted some call sheets that confirm that the character of Sentinel Prime was originally called Ultra Magnus.

According to the blog, it was the test screening that drove the change to Sentinel Prime. However we have to wonder if Hasbro had a say in this change. Ultra Magnus has always been a heroic character and doesn't match the role that Sentinel Prime plays in DOTM.

The blog also states that they re-used the Ultra Magnus head as what the Apollo 11 astronauts step on and uncover as they explore the ship.

Havent seen the movie yet, but am dissappointed they chose to use the name "Sentinal Prime". It just doesnt fit, no matter what role he plays in the movie. It is like calling Sideswipe "Drift".

Um, yeah... because it's ALWAYS a good idea to let a buncha riff raff off the street watching a free movie actually NAME THE CHARACTERS IN YOUR MOVIE.

Actually, by not naming him Ultra Magnus, that shows they don't want to do that. Dino and Q were suppose to be Mirage and Wheeljack. It's lame the toys will still be referred to as such.

They certainly couldn't have called Sentinel, Nemesis Prime, that would have been too obvious.
They do have some concern, not as much as other adaptations, but sentinel being magnus would have been worse.

Que was still Wheeljack - as it was in the credits (Que/Wheeljack - ...) Actually, I'm happy they did name Mirage Dino. The character didn't look like Mirage at all.
