Talk:Sentinel Major

I really think, when we get around to adding this info, it should go on Sentinel Prime (G1). They are analogous characters within the same continuity family. --ItsWalky 12:55, 7 April 2010 (EDT)

Seconded. They're using 'Major' as a rank here, not a name.--Jimsorenson 12:55, 7 April 2010 (EDT)

Is 'major' being a rank explicitly stated? There's no physical resemblance between any G1 version of Sentinel Prime and this fellow. -- Ayellowbirds 13:00, 7 April 2010 (EDT)

ItsWalky!- Aside from sharing the name 'Sentinel', I don't see any clear indication that they're meant to be analogous to each other. Ayellowbirds 13:02, 7 April 2010 (EDT)

I made this article, because my knee-jerk reaction was to go on the wiki and create as complete an article as was possible... and then it occurred to me to check the policy page. I decided that setting up the page as a place-holding stub might work to prevent other people from making the same mistake I almost did, by having an existing page that links to the policy. It's not the loveliest article, but I don't think it needs to be, just yet. Of course, if I've misunderstood the relevant policies, y'all can go ahead and delete it. -- Ayellowbirds 12:57, 7 April 2010 (EDT)

The Official Word on Sentinel Major

Jesse Wittenrich replied to a posting I made on the Club Magazine subforum at the TFCC site to say the following:

G1 Sentinel Prime's only importance (other than dying) was that he was the Matrix bearer and leader of the Autobots before Optimus. Since Sentinel Major is not a Matrix bearer nor the leader of the Autobots, well...

He clarified this in a second reply by saying:

He's a separate character from the G1 comic Sentinel Prime's character/archetype

So, I think that makes it fairly clear, no? Thanks to Jeysie for double-checking with him on what he meant. -- Ayellowbirds 20:57, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
