| The name or term "Sentinel" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sentinel (disambiguation). |
- Sentinel Major is an Autobot from the Wings Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Sentinel Major comes from a very distinguished heritage. The "Sentinel Line" from which Sentinel takes his name comprises a storied history of war heroes, all who have fought in key battles in Cybertron's history, and all who have worn the distinguished blue and orange that Sentinel wears. Sentinel lives every moment confident in the knowledge that, somewhere out there, his legendary ancestors are looking down on him and wishing they were him instead.
To say Sentinel Major is arrogant is an understatement. Even though he is a more than capable warrior who wields his hard-light lance and shield with the experience of a life time of training, he is too much of a narcissist to be much help on the battlefield. His only real interest is himself and his story, the story of a bot of great potential who rose through the ranks the greatest soldier who probably ever lived, who would take the mighty reins of the Cybertron Elite Guard as their Supreme Commander.
He is not well liked.

Notes
[edit]- His appearance—and placement as Magnum's right-hand bot—is pretty obviously an homage to Animated Sentinel Prime. His name is a play on the one that version used before his promotion to Prime status.
- Animated Sentinel Prime also made a Generation 1-based cameo as a background Carcerian in IDW Publishing's Windblade vol. 2 #7.
