Villain Overview

Indeed I am! What you must realize, my Autobot brothers, is we were never going to win the war. For the sake of our planet's survival, a deal had to be made… with Megatron!
~ Sentinel Prime revealing his true colors and betraying the Autobots - his most famous quote.

Sentinel Prime is the main antagonist of the 2011 sci-fi action film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third installment of the original continuity of the Transformers live-action film series.

He was the original Leader of the Autobots and Optimus Prime's mentor, before going missing in action during the Great War. After his revival, it is revealed that he betrayed the Autobots and made a deal with Megatron so that he could restore Cybertron as his domain to rule with all of humanity his slaves.

He was voiced by the late Leonard Nimoy, who also played Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie, Mirror Spock and Henoch in Star Trek: The Original Series, Dr. Barry Mayfield in Columbo, Mr. Hyde in The Pagemaster, The Zarn in Land of the Lost, David Kibner in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Master Xehanort in the Kingdom Hearts series.

Biography

Transformers: Foundation

Just like his student Optimus, Sentinel Prime was a direct descendant of the Dynasty of Prime, and was believed to be the last Prime. He told tales to his much younger Cybertronian brethren of how the Dynasty of Primes had called upon the AllSpark to give life to their world. Sentinel was planning to save the planet by bringing a star to orbit Cybertron for eons to energize the AllSpark after finding it, and he gathered followers who believed in his path to a new age of life on Cybertron. With Wheeljack's help, he was able to do so, ending the conflict with the Thetacons.

Though Sentinel Prime was able to finally bring back the concept of "freedom" to the planet, he felt that he could not take part in it's future, and thus, he revealed to Optimus about his lineage and take on the mantle of leadership. When Optimus refused to believe he was a descendant from the Dynasty, and was too humble to accept leadership, Sentinel decided to split leadership of Cybertron so it could be governed by Optimus' Science Division and Megatron's Defense Force, thinking that by having Optimus investigate the remains of the Primes' civilization, it would encourage him to believe in his lineage.

After two generations of successful shared leadership on Cybertron, Megatron was corrupted by The Fallen and reformed the Defence Force into the Decepticons. Sentinel was present at Simfur when the first attack was launched, but he decided to opt for a technique of self-preservation instead of saving the Science Division's work. After being saved by Optimus and being told that he was telling the truth about Optimus being a descendant of the Dynasty of Primes, Sentinel tougt him that "fate rarely calls upon one at the moment of their choosing", and that with him as Leader of the Autobots, Cybertron could be saved from Megatron (whom they did not had turned evil because of The Fallen since they didn't know of his existence at the time) and his destructive ambitions.

As the war continued with no signs of stopping, Sentinel Prime was forced to make a deal with Megatron to seek out another planet whose resources they can exploit to restore their homeworld. The chosen planet was the resting place of the last Star Harvester: Earth. To do this, he recreated the lost Space Bridge technology by fashioning hundreds of Pillars that could form a portal large enough to teleport Cybertron to itself across the cosmos. The Control Pillar's core was powered-up by the AllSpark, and took his Ark to collect Optimus' troops at Temple Simfur, while Wheeljack took the other Ark to collect the remaining troops at Tyger Pax. When he arrived at the temple, however, Starscream dealt heavy damage towards the Ark, resulting in the ship being consumed by a huge explosion and leaving all present to believe that Sentinel and all aboard had been destroyed.

Transformers: Convergence

In actuality, Sentinel's Ark had not been vaporized as believed: it had been teleported away by the Space Pridge technology it was outfitted with. With all hands knocked into stasis by the explosion, the ship automatically jinked through space and time on a series of random space bridge jumps, until at last, it's sensors locked on to the energy of the AllSpark, which had since been ejected from Cybertron and had crash-landed on the planet Earth. On its penultimate jump, the Ark crossed paths with the Decepticon ship Nemesis that was captained by Soundwave, which had departed Cybertron just as the war was beginning, and was now also following the AllSpark's trail. The Ark materialized from it's jump into the same physical space as the Nemesis, crippling both ships beyond repair; the Ark made one final bridge jump, reappearing in the immediate vicinity of Earth in 1961, where it crashed violently onto Earth's Moon. All the Autobots aboard perished save for Sentinel himself, who was in the crash vault and remained slumbering in stasis lock.

In 1965, Soundwave found Sentinel on the Moon, and began making revisions to the plan. In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were secretly assigned to search on the Moon and analyze the crash under Walter Simmons orders. Armstrong claimed there were no survivors. Since 1972 no one went to the Moon since, and was deemed above classified.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

While in a trance brought by the AllSpark before it's transference into the Matrix of Leadership, Sam recalled Sentinel's expedition to find a sun for Cybertron, which took "fourteen galactic convergences" to get "an echo".

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Revival

Following the death of The Fallen, Optimus Prime and Ratchet were helping their human allies protecting the Earth, when they encountered a piece of a machine that was originally part of the Ark. They eventually discovered that the Ark crashed landed on the dark side of the Moon.

The Autobots flew to the dark side of the Moon and found the Ark, along with both Sentinel Prime, and five pillars. With the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, Optimus revived Sentinel Prime. Sentinel scanned a Rosenbauer Fire Engine for an Earth form. When Sentinel Prime and Optimus Prime were talking to each other alone, Optimus thought that since Sentinel Prime was his leader, Sentinel should have the Autobot Matrix of Leadership and continue leading the Autobots. However, Sentinel said that since he knows nothing about this planet, Optimus should keep the Matrix, teach him about the planet, and continue being the leader of the Autobots.

Betraying the Autobots

Sentinel Prime kills Ironhide

The Decepticon sub-group, the Dreads (Hatchet, Crowbar and Crankcase) chased after Sentinel Prime on his way to a different NEST base. Bumblebee, Dino, Ironhide and Sideswipe guarded Sentinel allowing him to escape wherein Bumblebee and Dino killed Hatchet while Ironhide and Sideswipe destroyed Crankcase and Crowbar. After the chase scene ended, Sentinel revealed his true colors, claiming that the Autobots shall realize that he was not actually going to help the Autobots win the war, but instead made a deal with Megatron. He then murdered Ironhide, the Autobot closest to him, to distract NEST before wiping them out, with only a few human survivors.

The Invasion and Usurping the Decepticons

With the help of Megatron, Starscream and other Decepticons, they were able to open a space gate so that the Decepticon protoforms can invade the Earth. He decided to spare Optimus, because he was his apprentice once, and he wanted Optimus to realize how little humans actually cared for them. They first took over Chicago, IL and blocked it off so the protoforms would kill any Autobots attempting to infiltrate. The protoforms also killed most of the Chicagoans (except for Dylan Gould due to him being promised a position of power in the aftermath because he is power-hungry like Megatron, and Carly Brooks-Spencer, his hostage whom he wants for himself).

As the Space Bridge pillars were being set up, Megatron began to go on about the success and victory of their plan, in which Sentinel then attacked him, reminding him of his place: he was not working for Megatron, he was working with him. He then proceeded to take over full command of the Decepticons. Sentinel stayed out of most of the battle, relying on the Decepticon warriors instead, including (but not limited to) Shockwave, Soundwave, Laserbeak, Barricade and Starscream (all of which, except for Barricade, would be killed during the battle).

Transporting Cybertron and Death

Sentinel's headshot by optimus

Optimus kills Sentinel out of rage.

Other Decepticons were placed around the world with a few of the Pillars. They were going to be used to open a Space Gate and bring Cybertron into the Earth's atmosphere. After the Control Pillar (the Space Bridge Pillar that controls the other pillars) was deactivated by Optimus, Sentinel Prime fought all the Autobots and NEST with little to no effort. While he was fighting the Autobots, Sentinel Prime ordered any surviving Decepticons to reactivate the pillar. Dylan Gould heard this order and, realizing every Decepticon was too busy to follow Sentinel's orders, he decided to reactivate the Control Pillar himself, which later resulted in his death when Sam knocked him backwards into Control Pillar while it was active to fatally electrocute him.

NEST was able to land some shots on Sentinel, and he attempted to escape, but Optimus chased him and attacked him. Sentinel managed to overpower Optimus and slice one of his arms, allowing his former student to vainly beg for mercy before he would deliver the killing blow. Simultaneously, Carly (Sam Witwicky's new girlfriend) convinced Megatron to turn on Sentinel Prime, claiming that if Sentinel did succeed in killing Optimus and transported Cybertron, Megatron would be nothing more than Sentinel's pawn. Megatron chooses to heed her warning and rushes into the one-sided duel just as Sentinel is about to kill Optimus and severely incapacitates Sentinel, claiming that the Earth is his planet to rule. After the space bridge was destroyed, Megatron proposed a rather insincere truce to Optimus, but Optimus refused and slew him with no effort, knowing his true intentions and possibly doing so as punishment of his previous actions.

With his plans in ruins, the severely weakened Sentinel attempted to justify his actions, claiming all he ever wanted was to save the Cybertronian race, which was why he betrayed Optimus. His former pupil, however, countered it was never about betraying Optimus; by foolishly allying with Megatron and planning to enslave humanity, Sentinel had "betrayed [him]self" and everything he had ever stood for. Upon hearing Optimus pick up and recharge Megatron's fusion shotgun, Sentinel whose panicked and desperately begged for Optimus not to kill him. Optimus knowing Sentinel could no longer be trusted and already disgrace his ancestors honor pride, shot him in the back and then the head, putting an end to Sentinel's life. With Sentinel's death, the deaths of Ironhide and the human soldiers were avenged as well.

Transformers: Age of Extinction

Despite being killed in the Battle of Chicago, KSI managed to recover parts of Sentinel's body, particularly his head, which were used to create many man-made Cybertronians, including Galvatron, who is later revealed to be possessed by the still living mind consciousness of Megatron himself. Five years after the Battle of Chicago, Sentinel Prime was listed "deceased" by the CIA taskforce Cemetery Wind, led by the xenophobic Harold Attinger, his right-hand man James Savoy, and the Cybertronian Bounty Hunter Lockdown. Despite being deceased, his crimes, along with those of Megatron, the Decepticons and the Human Collaborators', had resulted in all Cybertronians being hunted down and executed by Cemetery Wind. This includes the Autobots being amongst the many blamed for the numerous human casualties prior to "The Battle of Chicago", despite their deaths actually being at the hands of Sentinel and the invasive hostile Decepticons.

For a long time, Sentinel Prime led the Autobots during the war against the Decepticons. After several years of war, however, Sentinel realized his faction would lose, and so he made a deal with Megatron to rebuild Cybertron using Earth's resources. He was presumed dead when the Ark was hit during escape, leading his former student, Optimus Prime, to become the new Autobot Leader.

On present day, the Ark was discovered on the Moon, and the Autobots headed there to retrieve him, with Optimus reviing him using the Matrix of Leadership. After defeating some Decepticons on the way back to NEST after learning about the Space Bridge Pillars, Sentinel finally revealed his betrayal and attacked Ironhide.

After getting away with the Pillars, Sentinel met with Megatron at Washington D.C., where they began the next phase of their plan. Optimus arrived to stop him, and managed to defeat Sentinel. But it was already too late, as the Space Bridge was opened and brought several Decepticons hidden on the Moon to the planet. In Chicago, Optimus and Sentinel have their final confrontation and the former emerges victorious before heading to fight Megatron. However, Sentinel only goes limp, leaving unknown what happened to him after.

For a long time, Sentinel Prime led the Autobots during the war against the Decepticons. After several years of war, however, Sentinel realized his faction would lose, and so he made a deal with Megatron to rebuild Cybertron using Earth's resources. He was presumed dead when the Ark was hit during escape, leading his former student, Optimus Prime, to become the new Autobot Leader.

While in stasis lock, Sentinel would have the same dream of fighting his enemies over and over. On present day, the Ark was discovered on the Moon, and Optimus headed there to retrieve his former mentor, using the ship's fuel rod to revive him. After defeating some Decepticons on the way back to NEST after learning about the Space Bridge Pillars, Sentinel finally revealed his betrayal and attacked Bumblebee. He tried to kill the 'Bee with his Cosmic Rust Cannon, but Ironhide sacrificed himself to save Bumblebee's life.

After getting away with the Pillars, he activated the Space Bridge on Washington D.C., where he fights Optimus. Having defeated his former student, Sentinel tried to extinguish his spark. Optimus, however, survived the attempt. In Chicago, the Autoots managed to destroy the Pillars and send Cybertron back to it's original orbit. Angered by this, Sentinel challenged Optimus for the last time. During their battle, Megatron ordered Sentinel to finish Optimus for good, to which he berated the Decepticon Leader, thus causing them both to argue about who is in charge of the Decepticons. This gave Optimus an opportunity to attack Sentinel by surprise and kill him, something that Megatron wasn't expecting.

Personality

Sentinel Prime, at first, seemed to be a heroic figure and a symbol of freedom for Optimus Prime, but later, he becomes a malevolent and corrupt lunatic who wishes to dictate to everyone else, whether or not they are Cybertronians or humans.

As an Autobot, Sentinel had taught the value of freedom as everyone's right to Optimus when the latter was the former's student. However, over the years, Sentinel Prime has come to prefer having power and authority much more than imposing freedom for all. Optimus states that Earth should be the new home of his race, as humans welcomed them, although Sentinel, being discriminatory, despised the idea of sharing a planet with weaker and smaller organic beings and instead , wanted to restore Cybertron. He was more than willing to kill his former student and his fellow Cybertronians if it meant getting his way.

Sentinel, for all his claims as a noble extremist who desires the survival of his species, slowly reveals his true colors to both the Autobots and Decepticons as nothing more than a power-hungry narcissist as he supplants Megatron's authority over the humans. Decepticons and tries to kill Optimus in a blind rage while ranting about how Cybertron is just his domain to rule as God. Despite the brief succession, it ultimately led to his own downfall as Megatron, having been convinced by Carly that he would only be one of Sentinel's pawns, realized that Sentinel was using him and saved Optimus while incapacitating seriously to Sentinel with minimal effort, leaving him. Helpless enough for Optimus to execute him when he realized the master he respected is dead to him.

Before dying, Sentinel showed another side of himself: a pathetic, cowardly and mediocre being. He tried to justify his actions and swore that everything he had done was for the Cybertronian race when what his actions caused was the deaths of several Autobots and Decepticons alike, in addition to having betrayed all the principles he taught Optimus, his former student.

Sentinel did not even attempt to show dignity in his death, but instead panicked and whimpered for a mercy he was unworthy of and never had with anyone around him; whether it was the Autobots he betrayed, the humans he was meant to protect, or the Decepticons he was an ally of.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Cybertronian Physiology: As the last of the Primes, Sentinel is one of the most, if not the most powerful Cybertronian, with seemingly only Megatron and Optimus being on par. His powers and abilities include:
    • Superhuman Strength: To be added
    • Superhuman Durability: To be added
    • Superhuman Speed: To be added
    • Superhuman Agility: To be added
    • Superhuman Stamina: To be added
    • Superhuman Reflexes: To be added
    • Longevity: To be added
  • Space Bridge Formation: To be added

Abilities

  • Master Combatant: Sentinel Prime was an excellent fighter, able to even beat a Decepticon in combat. He is also skilled with his melee weapon the Primax Blade. During his final battle with Optimus he was able to hold against his former student (however he did use dirty tactics like ordering all Decepticon ships to fire at Optimus). He also singled-handling took most of the Autobots and N.E.S.T. Troops and later on on a bridge he gain the upper hand, due to Optimus being blinded by anger, and manage to cripple his arm and almost killed him until Megatron intervened.
  • Master Leader: Sentinel Prime led Cybertron when it was the crown jewel of the galaxy.

Equipment

  • Primax Blade: The Primax Blade was the ancient double-bladed sword owned and used by Sentinel Prime as his main melee weapon of choice. It's versatile enough to have two configurations: while Sentinel can wield it one-handed in its long dual-bladed form, it also has a half-length mode which he can wave around just as easily. He stows it on his back when it's not in use. Sentinel Prime's bladed staff is able to be folded up into a single sword in the film. It was used by Sentinel to fight Optimus Prime, and was lost in the Chicago River after Sentinel was beaten down by Megatron.
  • Shield: Sentinel Prime also carries a large shield which he used to defend himself against multiple enemies.
  • Cosmic Rust Cannon: Sentinel Prime carries a Cosmic Rust cannon that causes any metal it fires upon to rust and crumple away. He used it to murder Ironhide. It is a powerful weapon and doesn't just infect him with cosmic rust, but causes horrific exterior damage to Ironhide, killing him in just three shots and the effect rusts the Autobot veteran away with his body falling apart. His action shows that he revealed his true colors — Sentinel had made a deal with Megatron. Although this weapon is never used to its full potential. As for the weapon in general, not many Autobots like it, as they thought it was something the Decepticons would likely use, and wasn't up to their honorable standard. In the film, he lost it during his final battle when he was hit with a rocket launcher. In the comic adaptation, it is a second configuration for his shield, and was used by Optimus to kill him.
  • Pillars: The Pillars were a set of transport devices created by Sentinel Prime. Together, the Pillars formed a Space Bridge, which could transport matter through time and space. The Control Pillar was the primary Pillar that controlled the rest to form the Space Bridge, and when it was destroyed during the Battle of Chicago, the other Pillars shut off, most falling into and burning up in orbit, but at least one found it's way into the hands of Edmund Burton.

Victims

Trivia

  • This is the fourth incarnation of Sentinel Prime to be portrayed in a negative light, alongside his original IDW Generation One continuity, Transformers Animated, and Aligned continuity incarnations.
  • In the comic book adaptation of the film, it's revealed that Sentinel killed Ironhide first just because he was a Thetacon (the Cybertronian equivalent to indigenous people), saying, "I never really liked his kind.", which means he's xenophobic towards any type of Cybertronians that aren't "normal". This is unlike the film and novelization, which never explained why Sentinel chose Ironhide as his first victim in the first place.
  • Sentinel Prime's voice actor, the late Leonard Nimoy, is most famously known for portraying Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise. Coincidentally, Spock's voice is also heard in the first Transformers film, as audio from Bumblebee's radio.
  • In the beginning of Dark of the Moon itself, Sam is seen watching an episode of Star Trek, which Wheelie comments is "The one where Spock goes nuts", foreshadowing Sentinel's eventual betrayal.
    • One of Sentinel Prime's lines, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few", references a similar quote from Spock in Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn.
    • Nimoy was previously considered to voice The Fallen in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen.
    • Nimoy had previously voiced Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie.
  • Sentinel's facial features were based off of the late Sean Connery, who worked with Michael Bay in The Rock. When Leonard Nimoy was cast as the character's voice, his own features were incorporated into Sentinel's face as well.
  • In an early draft of Transformers, time stops as Sam Witwicky falls down the building Megatron smashed, and Sentinel appears to him via the AllSpark. Sentinel would've clarified the history of the war and the relationship between Optimus and Megatron (expanding on their history as siblings) and given him a clue to defeating Megatron with the Cube.
  • Concept art referred to Sentinel Prime as "Ultra Magnus", a failed Prime from The Transformers: The Movie and a protagonist in third season of the television show. It was presumably done this way to hide spoilers from the film.
  • Sentinel Prime is colored gold and silver in the teaser trailer of Dark of the Moon. This shot was redone for the movie proper, and he consistently appears red throughout the film, though the uncorrected trailer footage was still used for the menu on the home video release of the film.
  • The Rosenbauer Panther fire truck cast as Sentinel Prime was entirely repainted specifically for the film, at a cost of thousands of dollars; real-world aircraft fire-fighting vehicles are required by FAA regulations to have a much lighter color scheme. It was repainted and given to a different airport, where it remained active. At some point it ended up in use at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.
  • Earlier drafts of the film that were used for the comic book adaptation and novelization depicts Seninel Prime as an even greater and menacing threat:
    • After killing Ironhide, Sentinel Prime tried to kill Bumblebee but instead killed Skids who got in the way and then Mudflap after he tried to avenge his twin brother. It was cut due to negative views about the said Autobots.
    • During their battle at the Lincoln Memorial, Sentinel was willing to kill Optimus, but was forced to spare him to protect the Space Bridge Pillars when they came under attack. This is unlike the film, in which he chose to spare Optimus because he was actually setting up a more effective trap to kill him and the Autobots in one fell swoop while leaving Optimus with a threat.
    • After the Control Pillar was shot down from the cupola it was housed in, Sentinel falsely accused Megatron of doing nothing to prevent Optimus Prime from doing so and knocked him off from the top of the 35 East Wacker, before engaging Optimus.
    • When Optimus and Megatron joined forces to fight him, Sentinel tried to kill them both.
  • Though he is portrayed as a villain, Sentinel Prime's film appearance and alternate mode has been applied to many other incarnations of his outside the Transformers universe, such as the Kre-O version and the Angry Birds version.
  • Because of his actions, Sentinel Prime is the opposite of Jetfire from from the previous film:
    • The former was an Autobot turned Decepticon, while the latter was the opposite.
    • Sentinel Prime was against the human race (for a former Autobot), while Jetfire was supportive for them (for a former Decepticon).
  • All of his toys classified him as an Autobot to hide spoilers from the movie, with his toy bio claiming that the Decepticons' final defeat was closer than expected thanks to his return (which makes sense, considering that DOTM was supposed to be the final chapter of the film series). For the Studio Series toyline, his box features a Decepticon insignia while his backdrop features an Autobot one due to his selfish betrayal in the film, despite not actually being a Decepticon himself.
  • Walmart had exclusive retailer rights to use this incarnation of Sentinel Prime in their signage and marketing as part of their "Power of the Primes" campaign.
  • Attinger's playing card of Sentinel Prime was barely visible in AOE. It wasn't until a prop auction for the Transformers film series held in 2019 that a clearer view of the card was shown.
