In Hand Images for Transformers Studio Series Sentinel Prime

I can already hear Leonard Nemoy's voice.

I never bought any of the other Sentinel figures, so I don't have much to compare it to, but this looks pretty slick. The weapon being able to separate is nice, because otherwise I've always thought it looked kind of awkward; shouldn't a two-bladed weapon have a longer handle, so you can use both hands when you need to?

Anyway, I digress. Looks cool, buying it, can't wait.

The short handle is technically movie-accurate, but yeah, practically speaking a double-bladed weapon should have a handle at least long enough for both hands, preferably longer. When using both hands, the wider apart you can place them (to a certain limit), the more leverage and power you can put into your swings.

Sentinel is a pretty sharp-looking figure, but to me there's too much black on his sides and legs. I understand the back kibble being black, but on screen his legs were entirely red, IIRC. Nonetheless, it's a great-looking piece.

Agreed with this, they handled him so much better than the previous voyager figure, the engineering looks fantastic

Great articulation, great detailing especially on the head, and the red parts look sharp. If they would have gotten the deco just right, it would have been perfect. As it is, he has too much black on him.

Thanks to Youtube reviewers Kevin Liu and Ton Ton, we now have video reviews for upcoming Transformers Studio Series leader Overload, voyager Sentinel Prime and voyager Scrapper.

The Overload review is in English while the other two are in Chinese.

The voyagers are meant to be coming out soon since they have an April release date from online stores. That particular wave will also feature a repackaged Mixmaster.

Overload is set to come out between June and August, depending on the retailer.

We thank fellow Seibertronian MadProject for letting us know of all these reviews.

I really like how the sword is integrated in the altmode.

I've honestly stopped watching video review, prefer to enjoy the toy myself and use them if needed, but what you're saying is, he is a nice mix of Leader complexity at the voyager size?

Same with me with video reviews. Regarding the complexity, I never saw it as dependent of the class. Deluxe Barricade is as complex if not more than leader Grimlock. These toys seem as complex as they need to be for the character.

I agree to a point. There are a couple of Deluxes that could have gotten a little bit more love. Namely Ratchet. Well... Mostly just Ratchet. And some of the Bumblebees, I guess.

Most of the Voyagers are winners, overall, though.
