I still hate this guy.

But I wanted to see if I’d enjoy the bigger Sentinel Primes. I had the DOTM Leader Sentinel Prime before but he was sold off. So I went ahead and got the Voyager Sentinel since I’d never handled him before.

Let’s see if I like this rendition of the hated mentor.

Robot mode

Sentinel actually looks pretty screen accurate in robot mode. Painted detail is a bit scarce, but the molding is there.

Also, I don’t normally mention light piping, but just look at Sentinel’s face. That is haunting.

His posability is pretty hampered by his backpack. No, I mean cape. No, I mean entire vehicle mode. Surprisingly though, his balance is not and he stands his ground very well.

He’s missing his giant MechTech cannon. Judging by pictures, it looks really good on him. That said he can use any weapon with a 5mm post.

Including Ironhide’s.

Vehicle mode

His fire engine mode also ends up being very faithful to the real life vehicle. Apart from the fact I’m missing his boom arm. Then again, the boom arm that’s supposed to come with him isn’t all that accurate. So whatever, I guess.

Still a fire engine with a giant laser cannon. That’s metal.

For the time being, he’ll have to make due with ROTF Ironhide’s spinning cannon.

Sentinel Prime. What an ass.

Closing

Getting the giant MechTech cannon would be nice, but I’m actually pretty satisfied with this guy as he is now. Yes, he’s a massive shellformer. But both modes look good. And honestly, sometimes that’s all that really matters.
