You're absolutely right. For it even look like it could take off the ground, the stabilizers both horizontal and vertical need be substantially bigger. Since clearly an F-4 semblance wasn't gone for, I much would've rather they ditched the puny horizontal stabs and just made a bigger vertical stabilizer down the middle like a Euro delta. Underside kibble aside, it just doesn't look like an aircraft that could even realistically fly.

The chest is actually slanted down at an angle versus the rest of his body. This is a deliberate design choice and makes it really weird as Sentinel is looking up if you pose him standing straight.

Sentinel actually looks pretty decent. But where's his shield? Blitzwing is disappointing. The chest is fake, the alt mode is inaccurate… urgh… Like, was a fake chest really necessary? Sentinel Prime didn't receive a proper toy until 2016, but he did come close previously. As revealed in the Transformers Collectors' Club roundtable panel at BotCon 2007, the original concept for the convention- exclusive redeco of Deluxe Class Cybertron Defense Hot Shot was Sentinel Prime. The mold DOES bear a decent resemblance to his IDW appearance, but in the end it was decided that Springer was a better choice for the mold (and likely for the ongoing club comic story).The waist does indeed have articulation, albeit limited. It's however rather lose and doesn't tab in securely. Sentinel Prime hails from an older time when Cybertron was the galaxy's crown jewel and the Transformer race was full of promise and potential. The only known remaining Prime, he personified what a leader should be: wise, compassionate, and a more than worthy warrior. Revered by both Autobot and Decepticon, few would dare stand against his shield and Primax Blade. I would like to take this opportunity to one again point out just how well-done and accurate the sculpted detail on these Studio Series molds can be. You can really tell they are leaps and bounds above the concept art-originated figures of the earlier films' toylines. Of course, it's not always accompanied by the proper paint applications to bring it truly to life, but it's still there if the owner so desires to do that themselves.

In this mode, Sentinel has four more 5mm MechTech ports: one each on either shoulder and one each on either forearm. If that's still not enough, the screw holes under his wrists can accommodate 5mm weapons as well, for a total of eight weapons beyond those included with the figure. The Primax Blade and Shield can both be held via their respective handles in either of Sentinel's articulated hands; the shield can also be plugged into the MechTech port in Sentinel's forearms. While (possibly) unintended, one of his sword’s blades can be popped off to simulate the Primax blade’s one-sided form seen in the movie. In a few instances throughout the third season of the Generation 1 animated series, the Constructicon Long Haul appears in the U-Haul Robot's color scheme. Guess AKOM got their "Hauls" mixed up! This mold was also made into Titans Return Astrotrain and served as the model for Omega Sentinel in the Primus Vanguard. I also don’t agree the jet doesn’t look close enough to a real life jet, it just doesn’t look anything like the Phantom. The only weird part is the V-tailfin, but you can actually fold those together to make a more coherent jet.

Walmart had exclusive retailer rights to use Sentinel Prime in their signage and marketing as part of their "Power of the Primes" campaign. [10] Sentinel Prime is great. He's great...I can't tell you anything else, other than he's great. Michael Bay [2] million years ago, Sentinel Prime faced Megatron on the battlefields of Tyrest. The Ultimate Guide He proved no match for the Decepticon leader; with his last words, he tried in vain to reason with Megatron, but Megatron was unmoved by his "sermon and doctrine" and slew him. Sentinel, however, had considered his death a likely possibility, and had already removed the Matrix of Leadership from his body before entering battle, preventing Megatron from acquiring it. The War Within #4 Sentinel Prime's head shape is based on Animated Sentinel Prime. The design of the Sentinel Prime Kreon is inspired by IDW (2005) Sentinel Prime's appearance in the Megatron Origin comic series, and his helmet is based on (and was later used for) Generation 1 Inferno.
