Sentinel really looks awesome. I think that he even will steal the glory from Optimus.
I'm glad that Sentinel is using his sword in the movie too. And Optimus' gun looks ancient.

oh my, sentinel looks good, nice BFG optimus.

Anyone read the thread on TFW2005, nice summary on what Mr.Bay states about DOTM, a little perplexed on the statement about the ferrari :-?

and hyped about starcreams companions

I should say it could be a bit spoilerish re: the ferrari (a,if its not a misquote b,Mr.Bay isnt scewing with us) so maybe we should have another thread on the topic

Thanks for posting the pics Albershide

Sentinel looks absolutely amazing. The expression on his face, his sword, his robot mode design, his color scheme, all of it makes him look awesome. The similar coloration as Prime aside, I can't wait to see him on the big screen and in the stores as a toy. Though the toy may serve as Alpha Trion in my universe :grin:

This has been said here already, but you know it:

Sentinel looks kick-ass-cool!!! Why couldn't they introduce him earlier in the movies?!

News Credits: 37 · Mon Feb 28, 2011 3:25 pm

I see it!!! I see it! It's freaking awesome!!! Optimus has a BAFG!

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!

Thanks to TFW2005 member Shockwaved we have our first look at the fully rendered Sentinel Prime from Transformers DOTM. Sentinel Prime and "all new" Optimus Prime are prominently featured on the cover of the latest issue of Empire magazine. A few of the magazine scans have been mirrored below. To visit the original article on TFW2005 click here. (warning there are some spoiler-ish details)

So why is Alpha Trion called Sentinel Prime? You cant tell me that sentinel does not look a lot like trion. 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!

If Sentinel Prime doesn't get a chance to kick some SERIOUS ass i will...come to that bridge when i cross it :-?

. They've done extremely well with recreating him and i look forward to seeing him in action, especially with the double bladed sword and EXPRESSION OF AWESOME :grin:

I think it does bear a great deal of resemblance to Alpha Trion, BUT I don't necessarily think Bay intentionally named him Sentinel Prime to spite the fans. I suspect that since Alpha Trion may or may not be a multiverse singularity (akin to Primus, Unicron, or the Fallen) and thus would be one of the 13 Original Transformers, Hasbro may have chosen to not allow the use of the name until they sort all that out to avoid any confusion brought about by having multiple, contrasting Alpha Trions.

FANTASTIC.

The shot of those two is just overwhelmingly awesome.

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

I'm with Joker's Requium. I don't think anybody would be remiss for stating an opinion that Sentinel Prime looks like Alpha Trion. There was a story that had some comparisons based on the teaser trailer. (Not sure if I should mirror the pic here.)

I mean, it's not a spot on rendition, but a lot closer than say Megatron, Starscream, or Soundwave, in my opinion. To say they look nothing alike, to me, is not at all accurate. In my opinion, I think he looks a lot like Alpha Trion.

If anything, it's not Sentinel Prime messing Alpha Trion, it's Alpha Trion messing up Sentinel. IDW and Animated Sentinel Prime were cool. Alpha Trion was a terrible cliche. Apart from Scourge and Unicron, I think TF's with facial hair look silly.

However, I will admit that this new Sentinel Prime does carry it well. Be nice if he were less similarly coloured to Optimus. He seemed more gold in the trailer.

What about Wreck-Gar's facial hair?

Also, I think the teaser was Sentinel in his ship, pre-earth mode. Still, a yellowish-green firetruck would have worked too, methinks.

Well, it looks more like Sentinel Prime to me. The gold one from the trailer anyway.

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!

Which Sentenel Prime are you thinking of? I'm not trying to pick a fight, just wondering which version you are comparing to. As far as I remember (and in looking at Google Image Search, which requires sifting through the TF3 and Animated Jay Leno versions) Sentenel was gold colored, but did not have any facial hair and had a head more resembling Hot Rod than Alpha Trion.

That's because those are both the same Sentinel Prime. And that Sentinel Prime does bear a more than passing resemblance to this guy: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Alpha_Trion_%28disambiguation%29 and not so much to this guy: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sentinel_Prime in any of their continuity forms...

The G1 one. Because he's gold, and has the face of a Prime!

I can see the Alpha Trion resemblance, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. This isn't G1, this is an entirely different universe. If anything it's a nice little G1 nod. I can't wait to see the movie and own the Sentinel Prime figure.
