I though it would interesting to see wich one of those character would win.
Both are voice by Leonard Nimoy.
Sentinel have many skils and weapons,his shield can take a lot of damage,his blade is powerfull and he could take all the Autobots at the end.

Galvatron can take many punishment his cannon can take lot of adversaries out with one shot,his cannon mode is even more powerfull.

Who do you think would win?

Let's see. Based on their performances in the movies...

Firepower: Galvatron
Physical strength: Sentinel
Weapon skills: Sentinel
Competence: Sentinel

Basically, the only 2 ways Galvatron could win is if he got lucky with a cannon shot or if Unicron steps in and tips the balance of power in his favor. Sentinel is not only an awesome hand-to-hand combat fighter, his weaponry is diverse. Gun, shield, 2 swords (which also combine into 1 dual-blade) against 1 fusion cannon.

I give this to Sentinel Prime. He'd simply out-duel Galvatron 1-on-1.

Let's see... Movie Galvatron, with Unicrons power to back him up, would win for sure. It took him less than 2 seconds to transform, power up, target, and shoot Starscream to dust. And I don't think a piece of metal shield could block that shoot.

Cartoon Galvatron in season 3-4: Though call, but still Galvatron. He's insane enough to win.

Marvel Comic Galvatron: Wins, one of the most durable transformers ever. Unicron slapped him through buildings in Cybertron, and he survived, then later he almost beat Megatron to death, and still had power to stand up against Fort Max after he crashlanded, and almost won that fight.

IDW Galvatron: No contest, he can essentially kill with touch. There goes Sentinels h2h weaponry.


All in all, he may have only one fusion cannon, but that can reload faster, have longer range, and is more deadly than Sentinels weapons; he is one of the most durable transformer ever made, and is either a maniac or a tactical genius, depending on the iteration. Galvatron wins automatically.

Cartoon Galvatron killed an entire planet just be infecting it with his craziness, and he's the least dangerous/competent version of G1 Galvatron.
Galvatron all the way.

Since the OP pointed out voicing by Nimoy, I figured we were talking only movie characters, not Galvatron from the series or the comics. I still stand by my original statement. Galvatron's victory would come via his fusion cannon, if he can hit Sentinel in cannon mode, or if he can stun him enough in robot mode to get him to stand still long enough to take aim, which he is very quick at. Yes, he is also very strong and nearly indestructible due to Unicron. Nearly. But in the end Sentinel is just too intense a fighter 1-on-1, so unless Galvatron gets lucky, he's getting beat.

Galvatron would recognise Sentinel from the distant past. He would know the danger posed by SP. He would stay hidden, take aim and blast SP in cannon mode, maximum power. Would the old duffer avoid the shot? Only if he had a few seconds of advance warning. I think that G would win this with one big blast. Then, a whole different Bay movie would happen!
