It was only the unexpected Rust Plague that brought the end of the Golden Age, and the trauma felt by that ordeal that helped spur SZP into reinforcing the caste system for security purposes, even if that ended up creating the stagnating condition of the pre-war Age of Rust.
Sure, he's not an Optimus/Rodimus kind of Prime, yeah, but he's probably the only Sentinel Prime who was genuinely trying to do what's best for Cybertron in non-malicious, non-selfish, non-Trumpy ways. At least when Optimus rescued him from Kaon he was presented in a sympathetic light, remorseful over his shortcomings as a Prime.
Ah I see thanks for correcting me I only based my comment on what I remember from Exodus and the Covenant of Primus which if I'm not wrong is the worse Zeta has been in the Aligned continuity although still with the Sentinel name.
I still would rather think of the Character as Zeta and Sentinel as a separate character ideally to me (based on headcanon) it would be Sentinel the first Autobot leader but meets his end (permanent or temporary) to Megatron like in Megatron origins and then followed by Zeta Prime until his demise by Megatron like in WFC/Exodus.
I mean they look different enough to be considered different characters since Zeta doesnt really seem to be inspired by the G1 Sentinel Prime in either personality or design unlike most characters in WFC so I believe Zeta was just made up for the game otherwise I'm sure he would of been named Sentinel in game only reason he is called Sentinel Zeta Prime is retcons to connect the Exodus character with the WFC character.
