KSI Sentry

KSI Sentries are Decepticons from the Age of Extinction portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Hot damn, Mudflap's plastic surgery was a rousing success!

Transforming into a Chevrolet Trax, the KSI Sentry is a revolutionary achievement in the robotic industry performed by KSI whilst taking stylistic cues from some of the original alien species. Considering how they built a lot of them in an array of fetching colors, these prototypes would probably make for a pretty handy army if you needed one...

Fiction

Age of Extinction film

Of course the guys who get mowed down in bulk are all painted red...

Multiple Sentries were among the KSI-built Transformers that Galvatron took control of. One of the Sentries shot down the Autobot ship when they attempted to retrieve the Seed from Joshua Joyce, while others were killed by Hound and Bumblebee when they were defending the humans. Yet more were victims of the Dinobots' charge and Optimus Prime's detonation of Lockdown's grenade. Age of Extinction

Studio Series KSI Sentry is a blue redeco of Stinger with a new head and weapon based on the movie design, transforming from robot to licensed Pagani Huayra and back in 21 steps. He comes with a cardboard backdrop display depicting the Hong Kong battle in Age of Extinction. Instead of the four saw blades that Stinger had, he comes equipped with a detachable claw/blade thing that makes his kibble weapon a bit more believable. Despite this he retains the four 'arms' on his back that the saw blades would mount to.

Released in Series 5 of Tiny Turbo Changers, KSI Sentry is an off-white redeco of the Soundwave figure from series 1, transforming into a sports car of fictitious origin rather than a Chevy Trax. He features articulation at his shoulders and waist and his hands are compatible with Cyberverse weapons and other small accessories.

Notes

• The KSI Sentries went unnamed both by the Age of Extinction film and Hasbro for several years until the release of the Studio Series toy. They were initially referred to as "Traxes" in an LA Times article discussing General Motors' Chinese marketing for the car, but this may have been a misunderstanding.
• Despite popular misbelief, they are not Vehicons.
