Here's the video review many of you have been anxiously awaiting, Leader Class Sentinel Prime. He takes the form of a Rosenbauer Panther 6x6 Fire Truck in the upcoming film. See what peaugh has to say about the highly anticipated figure below.

Great review and the figure looks great! I bought almost none of the revenge of the fallen movie figs, but I think I'm sold on this one at least.

Wasn't really into this figure for the most part but this review may have persuaded me.

Over all the bot mode is pretty sweet. Not really diggin the face though. The legs look really good to me aswell.

He's sure to be pricey at retail. Prolly the 60 dollar range just like Prime was which will make for an easy pass since i'm not completely convinced on Sentinel Primes awesomeness.

Like 'em or not, not that is one marvelously complicated transformation sequence. I'm getting this guy.

those figures are really loose. no way am i transforming mine back to firetruck mode and then back. he is staying tight and able to stand on his own. looks great

He strikes me as a cross between RID Optimus Prime and Vector Prime.

I do like him, though he is for the most part a shell-former but then they were always going to have trouble converting a long smooth box into a movieverse bot.

I like, I shall buy.

Strangely, I thought he would be a little bit more... larger... :shock:

This guy's reviews are so poor. They would really benefit from some editing so we don't have to watch him struggling to get the figure to stand, which seems to take up a lot of time in almost every Peaugh review. Half the time he neglects to talk about articulation.

I want one !!! I also want a 3rd party company to make an Alpha Trion head for this figure !!!

To each his own, but I think Peaugh is trying to get these DOTM vids up ASAP so we can see them. IIRC, he just got SP that day, so it's not going to be perfect.

I usually enjoy his reviews, along with baltmatrix‬‏, optibotimus‬‏, and BikerTrashWolf‬‏.

He has no agenda, not trying to sell us anything. I like these reviews more than most others.

Yeah, I thought about that too. I thought he was taller than ROTF OP from the pictures we saw before.

No, I think that's a good point. Sentinel Prime seems back heavy and has some balance issues since he doesn't have big flat foot to support the weight. We can see he has to lean forward in order to stand right. Could be same amount of time (or more or less) for us to make him stand.

Awesome. I'm really glad to see his shield and sword store underneath, I was worried about that. He looks really badass in bot mode, aside from the slightly weird face, but I can overlook that because it's Movieverse. Well proportioned, well-articulated, awesome firetruck alt mode, some pretty cool gimmicks. There's a lot to love. His voice sounds absolutely ridiculous ("Starscream, is that you?"), but I usually take the batteries out anyway. I definitely want to buy this guy.

I'm not trying to be a prick, but isn't the whole point of getting these videos up as soon as possible to get a bigger share of the revenue-sharing from YouTube?

Not all of the reviewers. I know Peaugh started out merely as a reviewer, with no intention of revenue sharing. I don't even know if he does it now, but if he does, it's just a perk on the side, more or less.

This guy looks epic, although I'm a little put off by his bot mode size. Personally I like the red - it's quite striking and high contrast. Fire truck mode is officially AWESOME. I love fire truck transformers, and for me this one beats the hell out of RID Optimus and Universe Inferno.

by **BATTOUSAIXD** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:39 am

Great figure and cool transformation! I definitely have to pick one up. I'm really hoping for a leader Megatron; it has the potential to be an awesome figure.

Truly apples and oranges. And if they were all the same fruit, you would be mistaken sir. :lol:

As for the rest, their is a lot going on with this figure. I really like it and will be getting one.

Does anyone else get the cape vibe from the split panels on his back? Maybe I just have cape sportin bots on my mind...

I think the statement is more to contrast with the reviewers that are sponsored by one toy sales site or another. The feeling some get, whether valid or not, is that they are more motivated to sell the toy, and not necessarily give an unbiased review.

Personally, I really like Peaugh's reviews, in part, BECAUSE they are mostly unedited. You get to see the good and the bad about the figure. I like that sometimes parts pop off, or here where the figure appears top heavy, it showcases the good and bad about the figure.

As it stands, I'm pretty excited about this fig.
I suspect he will make it to my "permanent" shelf.

I REALLY hope there is an Alpha Trion repaint. :grin:
