The Fallen felt it when the "last Prime" died but now we all of a sudden have a 2nd one that's been floating around for who knows how long. I'm becoming more than a little irritated with how these movies are going in terms of them keeping info straight.
It can be quite easily explained. It was obvious that Sentinel Prime was offline...stasis lock mebbe. The ship crashed and everyone on Cybertron thought he was lost in space with his crew. The Fallen probably didn't "feel" anything. He was likely in communication with Megatron on Earth and knew when Prime fell. He didn't know of Sentinel Prime's existence.
Where's the obvious? I didn't see any name tags on those 'bots in the downed ship. Everyone is just assuming what those bots are. Also, the movie trailer seems to give the impression that the "assumed" bot in question is revived, even if only briefly, during the Lunar mission. Since we have no proof that Megatron was in communication with the Fallen, I'm going to have to go with the impression that we were all left with, that being that The Fallen is connected to the Primes since he is one of the original 13. This being the case, he would have felt it if the assumed Sentinel revived, if only for a short time.
Let's face it, folks are going to swarm out of the wood work with all manner of reasons as to why there are 2 Primes in this film, why the Fallen never knew about Sentinel, yadda yadda yadda. Don't defend crappy homework with TF mythos. The writers dropped the ball...again. This is going to be RotF all over again with just more money thrown at it for better locations, bigger explosions and larger hard-drives to render more robots to justify more toy production. The only decent thing we are getting, so far as I've seen, is a shiny trailer for Optimus. I'd be more excited at this point to see a big screen animated TF movie following the Generations toy-line.
