The original cartoon version of Sentinel Minor was never named in fiction. He was retroactively named in an Ask Vector Prime entry.

Respect my authori-tah!

During a major battle, Wheeljack had become trapped under some rubble in the middle of an inferno. Hot Shot could not free his friend and left, promising to return with help.

However, their superior officer and another comrade refused to help Wheeljack, saying that the flames were too hot to enter. Hot Shot objected and attempted to run back in, only to be obstructed by his fellow soldier and struck down by his officer. The officer cited that they could not risk the unit to save only one 'bot.

Hot Shot eventually got up, and despite the warnings of a court-martial, raced back into the flames hoping to save his friend.

Hot Shot failed and fainted in the fires. The arrogant officer pulled him out, but Hot Shot was put under Optimus Prime's direct command after this event. Past Past II

Notes

• Like many Armada generics, the arrogant Autobot officer uses a recolored Generation 1 cartoon character model. In this case, it's a recolored animation model of Sureshot—but the more toy-based The Headmasters model, rather than the American comic model.
• Sentinel Minor was known on this wiki as simply "Arrogant Autobot officer" for years until finally being given a name in the Facebook edition of Ask Vector Prime. The name is likely a reference to some other jerk.
