Talk:Sentinel Prime (G1)
I think that statement wans't true outside of Dreamwave continuity Walky. Prime-as-leeader-of-the-Autobots didnt' come about until well after SP's death. 'There Shall Come a Leader' and all that said the Autobots were not only led by the High Council, but they also commanded the military. Optimus Prime beign named Commander-in-Chief of the army was the turning point of the war. -Derik 01:07, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't there a Marvel UK panel of Sentinel Prime passing the Matrix to Optimus? That's the only full-body shot we've ever got of him. --ItsWalky 01:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
...you mean like the one I uploaded 2 minutes ago? -Derik 01:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- What I'm saying is he looks like he's Autobot leader to me. --ItsWalky 01:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- And I woudl agree with you. He definatelyt was in The War Within. But in Marvel's backstory (at least UK) Optimus Prime was the first TF made leader of the Autobots, which had previously been led by the High Council (one of the reasons for their ineffectiveness.) And that's jsut the army. NEITHER had been civil leader. (Well, Prime possibly was followign Xaaron's death.)
- I'd argue that Sentinel Prime was still Autobot leader even though he had a council to answer to. Is UT Optimus Prime not Autobot leader? He has a council of ancients who can veto him as well. --ItsWalky 01:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

There's a fairly lengthy list of Sentinel Prime's abilities and weapons in the Keepers Trilogy. I plan to put that in his main section since he's such a ciper. Any objections? -Derik 01:22, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
...and why was he unsuccessful? because he died? Optimus Prime died, does that make him unsuccessful? What about the Primes that reigned during times of peace? -Derik 02:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Because everyone said he was. Everyone specifically said Sentinel Prime (and all the others) did a piss-poor job. Megatron slaughtered them. It was only Optimus who did a good job. --ItsWalky 02:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
