Sentinel Maximus
From MediaWiki
- Sentinel Maximus is an Autobot from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
When Primal Prime was critically damaged in a battle with Cryotek, Apelinq brought his battered remains to Vector Sigma. To save his life Apelinq made the ultimate sacrifice, allowing the ancient supercomputer to merge his Spark and Primal Prime's into Sentinel Maximus. Sentinel Maximus combines Primal Prime's power, charisma, and direct link to the knowledge of the Matrix with Apelinq's strategic genius and ability to download virtual objects into reality. When a smaller, more stealthy form is preferable, the cab portion of his armored transport mode can disengage and transform into Hyperlinq. He has no known physical weaknesses other than his compassion for other beings.
Despite all this, he sure gets beat up a lot.

Trivia
- Sentinel Maximus went through several names before he saw release, the most noteable being "Vector Prime." Hasbro rejected the name because they didn't want to dilute the concept of Primes, but later used it themselves for Cybertron Vector Prime anyway.
- Despite Sentinel Maximus' name change, his shipping carts still said "Vector Prime" on them.
- Early on, Sentinel Maximus was to come with translucent redecos of the Cyberjet molds, meant to represent three sparks trapped inside the Divine Light whom he downloaded digital bodies for into reality. Instead, Hasbro decided to use those molds themselves for Universe.
- Sentinel Maximus' paint mockup featured the Wreckers symbol (the Autobot symbol with a hammer for the forehead), but the final product had normal Autobot symbols.
- Due to 3H Productions' losing of the convention license, Hasbro mailed Sentinel Maximus out to their owners, using old mailing lists that had many outdated addresses. Some buyers never got theirs at all.
