• At the Cartoon Network panel at BotCon 2008, it was revealed that much of Sentinel Prime's character design evolved after Townsend Coleman was cast for the role, specifically the visual cues to Coleman's earlier role as the Tick.

• Coleman is credited with voicing News Bot in "The Elite Guard", but the character does not actually appear in that episode.

• Coleman is the announcer for "Huboom!," the segment on The Hub home to reruns of the original Transformers cartoon.
