Omega Sentinel (Animated)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Omega Sentinel" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Omega Sentinel (disambiguation). |
- Omega Sentinels are Autobots from the Animated continuity family.
The Omega Sentinels were a mass-produced line of weapons of mass destruction sharing the same body-type as Omega Supreme. They were created as part of Project Omega. Prior to the Sentinels proper, at least four prototypes were created. The 1/12th scale Mark IV prototype, Omega S.P.R.E.E.M., is an example.
In the ongoing arms race between Autobots and Decepticons, every action has an opposite reaction. The giant Omega Sentinels mostly proved to be very big targets. All were destroyed except for Omega Supreme and Sigma Supreme, with only the former still fully functional.

Notes
[edit]- Most of the Sentinels' bond-partners are Animated versions of important Autobot leaders from other continuities:
- Optimus Primal is the heroic Maximal leader of the Beast Wars.
- Big Bang was originally going to be the Supreme Commander in the post-Zone fiction, which became the Return of Convoy series.
- Silverbolt, Scattershot, and Hot Spot are leaders of the Special Teams.
- Impactor has led the Wreckers.
- Railspike is leader of Team Bullet Train.
- Wedge leads the Build Team.
- Override is the leader of Velocitron.
- Ultra Magnus has led the Autobots entire, from time to time.
- Longrack is Sub-Commander of the Maximal team under Big Convoy's command.
- Most of the Sentinels' ship-names refer to Autobot (or Maximal) ships from other continuities:
- Axalon from Beast Wars
- Battlestar from Return of Convoy
- Gung Ho from Beast Wars Neo
- Steelhaven from Marvel's Generation 1 comics
- Darkstar from Marvel's Generation 2 comics
- Eclipse and Iron Hope from the Timelines portion of the Unicron Trilogy
- Orion from Dreamwave's Generation 1 comics
- Xantium from the 2005 IDW continuity
- Hyperion from Armada
- Chromia 10 ("X" for "10" in Roman numerals) from Timelines issue "Dawn of Future's Past"

- In "Transform and Roll Out", Optimus Prime viewed a history vid of the Great War that featured towering Transformers with cannons on their left arms and transparent faceplates. Though they strongly resemble the Sentinels, they differ in many details from their depiction in The AllSpark Almanac II. Either these are some other towering robots we don't know about, or the vid is not completely accurate.
- Most of the Omega Sentinels were planned to make a cameo in "TransWarped", but their scene was cut for time.
