[Sentinel_ Prime]

I wish IDW would do a 4 issue mini on him. We got just enough in Megatron Origins to wet the appetite. For me he is interesting in that he should have had far more success against Megatron than Optimus but didn't. He's a huge, hulking autobot that towers over everyone else, appears incredibly powerful, is intimidating and a battlefield commander, has always had some combat role and didn't seem to have the same moral internalization Optimus has when contemplating action. Yet he failed in his role as Prime.

one long sentinel history book, including how he looked pre-earth and more details on how much of a genius he is.

I say they make a story about Ultra Magnus. That'd be sweet. Although I think a story of Sentinel Prime would be sweet.

The first sentence is the reason for the second.

I agree. One; he underestimated Megatron's resolve - BIG MISTAKE. I'm probably wrong but from what we've been in the flashbacks between Optimus and Megatron just before Chaos kicks off, I get the feeling that Sentinel may have been an "installed" Prime - by the Cybertronian Senate. He seems like he was "their man" even though he probably loathe them by his sentiments in Megatron: Origins.
Plus the fact that he, more imposing looking than even Optimus, got take out by Megatron was to show how much of a bad-ass Megatron is.
