The '''Sentinels''' were a type of robot warriors used by the [[Decepticon]]s during their control over [[Cybertron]].  
The '''Sentinels''' were a series of combat robots used by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] on [[Cybertron]]. None of them appeared able to speak or transform, but they sure did die easily.


They appeared as bipedal domed headed machines capable of speech and made use of energy pistols. They possessed a chest screen that would open up allowing them to report to their commander. Unlike their masters, they did not possess the ability to transform. They were also in charge of leading [[Guard (G1)|Guard]]s.

After [[Spike Witwicky]] along with [[Carly]] arrived on Cybertron and managed to escape [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]], the guardian of Cybertron dispatched a Sentinel to deal with the [[Human]]s. The Sentinel would locate the pair along with the [[Dinobot]] [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]] and stunned the [[Transformer]] taking them to the [[Cybertonium Pit]]. After a fight broke out between [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and Spike within the Pit, the Sentinel requested instructions from Shockwave on what to do and was told to remove the Humans. After lowering the energy, the Dinobots attacked and the Sentinel was melted by [[Slag (G1)|Slag]]'s fiery attack. {{Storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2|DotD2}}

A sizeable army of Sentinels were present when an asteroid arrived which carried the banished [[Combaticon]]s.

The Sentinels were decimated with many destroyed and others confined within the detention area until freed by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s Decepticons who were briefly allied with [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s who worked together to defeat the giant Bruticus. {{Storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus|TRoB}}

Shockwave and the Sentinels defended the planet from these renegades, who combined into [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] and utterly decimated them.

The name or term "Sentinel" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Sentinel (disambiguation).

The Sentinels were a series of combat robots used by Shockwave on Cybertron. None of them appeared able to speak or transform, but they sure did die easily.

Fiction

After Spike Witwicky and Carly arrived at Decepticon Headquarters on Cybertron via Space Bridge, they quickly escaped from Shockwave's control room. The guardian of Cybertron then dispatched "the Sentinel" to deal with the humans; thinking fast, Spike crushed its head in a giant sliding door, destroying it. DotD2

Later, when Chromia, Firestar, and Moonracer escaped capture at Shockwave's hand, he sent a different Sentinel - which was capable of flight - after the trio of fleeing female Autobots. Though it tracked them to the general vicinity of their secret headquarters, this Sentinel was obliterated by a single blast from Moonracer's pistol. TSfAT

When next encountered, Shockwave had a large group of "Sentinel guards" - of a different make from the last two units - which he deployed in practice military manevuers with giant holograms. These Sentinels were present when an asteroid arrived on Cybertron carrying the banished Combaticons. Shockwave and the Sentinels defended the planet from these renegades, who combined into Bruticus and utterly decimated them. A short while later, the Sentinels assisted a joint Decepticon-Autobot task force in defeating the giant Bruticus, although many more were reduced to scrap in the process. TRoB
