I couldn't agree more. There's definitely a resemblance. But the name is really unimportant to me. I think naming him a previous Prime makes more sense, especially for the film going community at large. It doesn't make much sense for a "Trion" to precede Optimus as "Prime"

Meh. Still not impressed with his face. I do hope that his personality lives up to his look, and he'll be a BMF.

The face looks different than the toys I saw at Toy Fair and photographed for this site and from the announcement trailer. Not too much, just looks like they cleaned up the shapes on his face, primarily the nose and the upper lip/mustache area.

Sentinel Prime looks really cool! And I'm really liking Optimus' updated look, he looks awesome.

I'll give you points for trying El Duque and for a brief moment I was going to say something about it as well but folks are only going to hear and see exactly what they want to hear and see. No more and no less. Some of what was flying around, speculation wise, over at TFW2005 went far beyond the absurd and I shudder to think what kind of tripe filled rumors are going to come from such ill-conceived speculation.

As for the spoilers they listed, I can't say as I'm the slightest bit surprised or impressed by a single thing I read.

The rest of you however are free to check it out for yourselves and knock yourselves out coming to ridiculous conclusions based on zero evidence of anything.

I think sentinel prime should have the voice of Christopher Lee

Also, the expression on Sentinels face says to me: "Imm'a kill dis mother ****er!" And Optimus is like "Right behind you...dad." with his BAFG! I hope those lines make it into the movie. If not, I'll make my own TF movie with those exact lines!

I thought that about Sentinel's expression, too!

I love how he looks so fierce, yet as an Autobot he'll most likely have a sense of honour, plus he seems older than the others, which adds experience to the mix...So yeah; 'fierce loyalty' is how he appears to me, a bit like a Lion!

We finally get an Alpha Trion and bay **** up the name, wait why am i surprised about that? Took a look at the spoilers and still not going to waste 15 bucks to see this movie, but i am more inclined to maybe check out a bootleg or see it on HBO. And i have the feeling Trypticon is in the movie.

Are you freaking kidding me, that looks nothing like Alpha Trion! I swear, people just make up crap to complain!

Sly, take a chill pill my friend. Regadless whether or not you agree with him, your taking all this way to seriously. personally, I do think he bares a simular look to Alpha Trion compared to the 80's cartoon. But using him as Sentinel Prime works as well.

Megatron Wolf-
We've only seen two 30 second clips and a 2 minute teaser that really just showed SP. And the second clips didn't show that much more than the first. So lets call it about 45 sec. of footage. So why not go see the movie based on this? And if your answer is because of past movies, stop living in the past and be alittle open minded.

I like what i see with the Screen shots of both Optimus and Sentinel. Both look great, and the weapons look fantastic! Teasers are getting better and better each time!

5150, MegWolf tends to troll anything Bay related and often anything not G1 related. I was putting money on him to badmouth these absolutely awesome pics (it was between him and Griftimus)...I suggest paying him no heed.

As for these pics, they are absolutely AWESOMESAUCE. New Op looks more powerful...the "wings" on his back are gone...and I am LOVING the BFG. Sentinel looks like a badass too...can't wait for this.

Finally.

Ok, OP, I'll call him over and you can put a stop to this menace once and for all!

"Oh Shucks, I sure am thirsty... Hey Kool-Aid!"

What? You're dad? Oh. I'm Sorry Mr. Prime Sr., I guess people see what they want to see.

[Before I get flamed, it's a joke.]

If Sentinel's really as badass in the movie as he looks here, then he'll definitely by my frist TF3 toy purchase. They did some great work with his design.

Any word yet on who his voice actor is?

I forgot to mention that the minor changes made a world of difference. Sentinel Prime's face looks awesome now.

Seriously? Stop living in the past? Wouldn't that make this 26 year old toy franchise obsolete? Denying you pleasure of these truly bad movies? I'm gonna see it, I'm gonna buy the toys, there will be things I like about this one just like the other two, but seriously, these films are bad MOVIES. Poor filming, underdeveloped plots, one dimensional characters, sour cinematography, bad acting....it goes on and on. They are fun, and great for Transfans, but as far as movies.....really? Do you expect something epic and moving?

I know this is going to be unpopular, but I personally think Sentinel looks awful. I can't quite put my finger on why, maybe because 'bots with beards' normally look unnatural.

Agreed, Sentinel looks tough as nails! They look like their channeling Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield in that pic.

Is it to late to do some last minute voice-overs and have this guy be Alpha Trion ??? Thats who he looks like to me. He's red and very old looking. Plus there is only one living Prime. OPTIMUS PRIME. The others are all dead in a cave in the middle east. The character Sentinal Prime might be cool for comic book fans but doesnt go with the movie storyline at all.

Now if only Sam Jackson would sign on to voice him. Then he could help lay his vengeance upon all of the 'Cons.

Let's drop the rhetoric and debate about whether or not these are good movies. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. I loved the first Transformers film, not the biggest fan of the 2nd one but I don't think it's quite as horrible as everyone says it is (myself included), and I have big hopes for the 3rd because it just looks darker in tone ... and the Decepticons invade my city. Pretty frikkin' cool. If you don't like the films, that's fine, but don't hate on the folks that do enjoy the films.

Bottom line is this: the Transformers films are remarkable that they're even here. They're live action films about a toy line that has survived since 1984. This has never happened on a scale like this before with a toy line first then a movie.

Autobot032 wrote:FANTASTIC.

The shot of those two is just overwhelmingly awesome.

Is it just me, or does Sentinel's chest look somewhat like a face?

It's not just you. He looks a lot like Gurran Lagann! Hope he kicks A as good because it's cooler that way!

My bad fella's. I forget text doesn't deliver the lighthearted fun-poking I intend. Do this, read my comment again, and pretend Lewis Black is saying it. That way it'll be more the rant of a harmless "fanboy".

I agree with you on the first one being better than 2nd. I liked it enough. I even painted my '79 Camaro like Bumblebee.

Go ahead and love the movie, buy up the toys, contribute to Hasbro's bottom line. I have no delusions that without these movies, Transformers would be more likely to fade away. Hopefully they make enough money to keep this toy in production, no matter what form it takes on.

I don't mean to troll the movie subject. I also realize that the movie will ofcourse appeal to many people. Thats kinda the idea. Sorry homies.

Because Sentinel is red I guess? I didn't get it either.

Never understood the animosity towards TF facial hair. Sure, it doesn't logically make sense for an alien robot to have facial hair. It also doesn't logically make sense for an alien robot to have a nose, mouth, two eyes, two arms, two legs, a distinct head, or the innate ability to transform into a vehicle. Logically all transformers should have their robotic features and vehicular features accessible simultaneously, resulting in a sort of freakish cyborg-bug look, and should hide themselves by becoming invisible. After all, in a universe where Hound can project holograms, Mirage can become invisible, and Megatron can fly with no discernible means of propulsion and shoot city-obliterating nuclear beams from an optical scope, why would you disguise yourself as a VW Bug?

Of course, if you just think beards look stupid in general, then that's purely an aesthetic issue that we have to agree to disagree on.

Sentinel Prime and OP look really cool. The hype is finally getting to me and I am ready to watch this film.

The Ferrari is a Con huh? Only way I see that happening from the footage we have seen so far is a TFA Longarm/Shockwave type thing or maybe a P/CP homage.

Wow, I expected Sentinel's face to be less... human-like. Here's my theory about DOTM: I think something vital to Shockwave/Megatron is somewhere in Chicago, and the 'Cons have besieged the city, blocked all communication from the outside, and put some sorta satellite-scrambler-thingy-ma-bob around the city. Since no one can go in or out, the 'Bots send in the Glider boys to distract the Decepticons while they slip behind and check out what they're after. I dunno, but that's what I'm going with til' e get either more info or I see the movie myself.

he looks so bad ass
