The Wadapan: I don't see a reason to explicitly namedrop Sentinel Prime here, because at the time of the toy's release (and its bio, which we basically paraphrase for this intro) that character wasn't Sentinel Prime, no? The notes can just explain the sitch

He was taught by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|~~Sentinel Prime~~]] in the ways of the mace bollo. Unfortunately he only uses it while retreating.
