    I noticed he has the B430 on his artwork that's the same as his prop vehicle. Nice.

    Are you referring to the front wheels of the cab? If so, they unfortunately don’t sit on the ground like the rest of the wheels. Not a huge problem for me though.

    Hm, Guys

    I figured out most of Sentinels transformation.

    I must say, it's not very impressive.

    We don't have clear shots of the back so I don't know what exactly happens with that other than it folds up behind and under his lower legs.

    But the entire upper body plus back kibble is pretty obvious to me now. What annoys me most is that the entire windscreen of the vehicle (basically the entire cab minus it's sides) ends up on sentinels ass! :( 

    So yeah, a puny Cyberverse figure has a better transformation than this unfortunately..


    This is not mpm style. Mpm can still be played with and transformed with relative ease (for a pro). Just wait until you have them in hand. I bet you feel the difference I mean.

    It looks more like it rolled off the screen :D  (sorry). I don't remember Devy being a ball with balls

    Accurate detail there is. I give you that

    In every other regard, I'm sorry, it fails in my eyes

    Especially the individual constructicons. Man, they are truly utter garbage compared to SS

    That is disappointing to be sure but I'm never really too upset by Studio Series transformations. As someone pointed out a while ago, Sentinel was one of the first designs to be made that followed the AOE style where hardly any vehicle parts made it onto the robot mode and as a result makes it very difficult to recreate in plastic form.

    At the size and price point they are working at some sacrifices have to be expected. Would Roadbuster look better if the vehicle kibble didn't all end up on his back and was actually incorporated into his robot mode? Of course. And it's the same case for Sentinel and Soundwave and Jazz etc.

    But I'm perfectly happy with how Sentinel turned out. He looks like a great update to the existing voyager and he's going to pair well with the rest of the Studio Series cast.

    It would have been cool to see him incorporate more of the Cyberverse transformation, but again, they have to fit him in the price point.

    Our only hope is that MPM and other 3rd party companies can continue to give us movie verse figures and that eventually a high quality Sentinel Prime can be made.

    Wow, the SS figure looks great but this photo really shows that he's in dire need of more paint. I think it's the lack of silver that makes him look slightly off because the CGI model had a reasonable amount of silver if I can remember correctly.

    I didn't understand why you were talking about Brains and Wheelie when I couldn't see them in the pic. I then looked closer and there they were!

    It’s way more accurate than SS version, which we don’t even know if it can walk on all fours which is the only way he moved in the movie. I mean I’m not defending since I’m buying it because I don’t have room for something that size, but if I were to get ss or this one I’ve been really impressed with the look of these. But I’ve heard mixmaster isn’t fun to transform, haven’t heard the others yet.

    Hmm. Idk man, the robot mode looks so good though. So does the vehicle honestly. I don’t see a downside. As long as the transformation isn’t infuriating, it should all work out.
    I need Sentinel and Blitzwing right now!

    For those of you with mpm jazz, did you seem mistransformed out of the box? The side windows aren’t even close to touching the top of the car, I don’t wanna push too hard, haven’t had time to learn his transformation yet.

    Yeah mine was mistransformed. His torso wasn't plugged in all the way. I thought he had an ab crunch until I used the splitting gimmick.
