So in the "official" history of Cybertron, Sentinel still says there were Thirteen primes and that he was the last surviving of their comrades. However, all 13 primes have been named and accounted for, meaning Sentinel would have had to erase one of the Prime's names from history to replace it with his own. Is it ever stated which Prime this was? My guess is Zeta (due to that being a stand-in for the 13th Prime), but from what I remember Zeta is shown with the matrix in the revised history records. Can anyone provide any details on who it could be if Sentinel replaced a Prime? Or is this just an oversight?

:There is no oversight. Sentinel was an assistant of sorts to the thirteen Primes, not a proper member of their number.

Should we call the page Sentinel Prime or just Sentinel? Being a false Prime and all. Liliesrobots (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2024 (EDT)
- It's "Sentinel Prime" on all the toy boxes and marketing. It stays where it is. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:17, 22 September 2024 (EDT)
- In addition, he's called "Sentinel Prime" for most of the movie, and it's better for the article title to be in line with the other Sentinel's imo. PublicCrown (talk) 15:22, 22 September 2024 (EDT)
Replacement of a Thirteenth Prime
So in the "official" history of Cybertron, Sentinel still says there were Thirteen primes and that he was the last surviving of their comrades. However, all 13 primes have been named and accounted for, meaning Sentinel would have had to erase one of the Prime's names from history to replace it with his own. Is it ever stated which Prime this was? My guess is Zeta (due to that being a stand-in for the 13th Prime), but from what I remember Zeta is shown with the matrix in the revised history records. Can anyone provide any details on who it could be if Sentinel replaced a Prime? Or is this just an oversight? CBT (talk) 14:18, 4 October 2024 (EDT)

- I know all that lol, my question was that since Sentinel still kept all the Primes in the records and only added himself to the list, was there a Prime he had "erased" from the records so as to replace their name with his own and preserve the "Thirteen" number. No matter, I found the answer on the movie page:
- The Thirteen are not actually referred to as the "Thirteen", but rather the Primes or the "Council of Elders", a term that originated in Beast Machines. This is likely because it would contradict Sentinel's narrative painting himself as a fourteenth Prime. Notably, none of the archives or displays of the Thirteen include Sentinel."
