Transformers Movie History: Sentinel Prime Origin Story 'When he betrayed the Autobots'

Sentinel Prime's mysterious origin will now be unraveled today in Transformers Movie History.

WANNA SUPPORT ON PATREON?

What's up you guys? My name is RBG and welcome to my video segment, Transformers Movie Universe History. In a previous episode I did a video covering the origins of our old Autobot who's built to last, Ironhide. At the time of making this video I'm not sure how many views it's garnered since this is a Patreon sponsered upload. But I just wanna say thanks in advance to those who took time out of their day to watch & leave a comment. As mentioned in all my videos that I myself am well aware of the hate the Bay films receive and have to agree that most of it is warranted. But I wanna take you guys on a journey and show you some of the positives this universe has to offer because if we're gonna be honest there are certain characters in the films that don't get their just due. Just a heads up if you haven't seen the movies or read the comic book material used in this video, it will come off a bit spoilerish. So be advised. In today's video we'll be uncovering the origins of the legendary warrior thought to have been lost long ago, Sentinel Prime. Now this is an origin that I've been dying to make for a while now and I know a lot of you have wanted see it. Sentinel Prime is essentially a love letter written to the fans wrapped up in a shiney metal envelope. Not only is he 1 of the most compelling villains we've seen in the entire lineup of TF movies but he's also a huge nod to the source material. Through the grace of the Cybertronian Gods, Michael Bay was very fortunate enough to get the late Leonard Nemoy to return to the Transformers franchise. But it wasn't because he originally voiced Galvatron in the original movie, oh no. It was because Leornard was married to his cousin, Susan Bay.

O que há para vocês, pessoal? Meu nome é RBG e bem vindo ao meu segmento de vídeo, Transformers Movie Universe History. Em um episódio anterior, fiz um video cobrindo as origens do nosso Autobot antigo, que foi construído para durar, Ironhide. No momento de fazer este vídeo, não tenho certeza de quantas visualizações é obtida porque este é um carregamento patrocinado pela Patreon. Mas eu só quero agradecer antecipadamente aqueles que demoraram o tempo para assistir e deixar um comentário. Como mencionado em todos os meus vídeos, eu mesmo estou bem ciente do odiar que os filmes da Baía recebem e têm de concordar que a maior parte disso é justificada. Mas eu quero levá-los em uma jornada e mostrar-lhe alguns dos aspectos positivos que este universo tem para oferecer porque, se houvemos honesto, há certos personagens nos filmes que não recebem o devido vencimento. Apenas um heads up se você não viu os filmes ou lê o material de quadrinhos usado neste vídeo, ele vai sair um pouco de spoilerish. Portanto, seja avisado. No vídeo de hoje, descobriremos as origens do lendário guerreiro que se perdeu há muito tempo, Sentinel Prime. Agora, esta é uma origem que eu estou morrendo de vontade de fazer por um tempo agora e eu sei que muitos de vocês queriam vê-lo. Sentinel Prime é essencialmente uma carta de amor escrita aos fãs embrulhada em um envelope metálico brilhante. Não é só ele um dos vilões mais convincentes que vimos em toda a formação de filmes TF, mas ele também é um grande aceno com o material original. Através da graça dos deuses cibertronianos, Michael Bay teve a sorte de levar o falecido Leonard Nemoy a retornar à franquia Transformers. Mas não foi porque ele originalmente expressou Galvatron no filme original, oh não. Foi porque Leornard estava casada com sua prima, Susan Bay.

In Sentinel Prime, a Pacifist Unifier turned evil, and a revenge against those who destroyed Cybertron, you'd of thought he'd have his own secret force to fuck over both sides and show whose really in charge but as said in the video origin, he's not a leader but a *Unifier*

Think about the depth that would add if he decided, "You know what, time to show these young whipper-snappers whose really in charge here" and introduced a 3rd Transformer Faction into this in where Sentinel Prime was the major threat and the 2 sides would have to ally in order to defeat him otherwise risk assimilation into Sentinel's ways of Rule as he tries to eithe conquer Earth or Bring the Dead Cybertron to Earth's area and power the core into the new core for Cybertron restoring it and ultimately destroy earth. In seeing the devastation wrought by what just happened, Optimus & Megatron would put aside their differences and now that Cybertron is for the most part restored, the battle against Sentinel Prime would usher in a new era of "What If's" in the Transformers Community, let alone its Lore.

He may be a villian, but his intentions are good. It like the saying, "You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villian"

[xysunder]

Never forgive him for killong my boy Ironhide

[zacimusprime]

I think he looks a lot like alpha trion too!

[casdekinker]

I have a theory that sentinel has been to earth before, because when the autobots revive him he is not in his protoform and has all the truck parts
And when he saw humans, didn’t ask what they where or what planet he was on, because he knew already

[jamesleitch]

Interesting origin story. Movie-verse Sentinel is definitely the version with the most leader-like qualities. The IDW Sentinel was completely corrupt and the animated version was arrogant.

[whitelampmrz]

Love how The Fallen is behind all of this. Without his influence on Megatron, the chances of the war happening were slim. He too wanted peace on Cybertron, but ultimately, didn't agree with what his prime brothers said about the star harvesting and what not... Every one seemed to have a good side in the beginning, until their own idealogies caused their downfall. Megatron, fallen, sentinel, etc etc.

[phineasmaycry]

Can you do Shockwave ? He's really badass in the movieverse comics.

[blackblack]

This fills in so many gaps. In DotM, I can understand why he'd ally himself with Megatron, but now it makes a lot more sense to me.

[superpixelwarrior]

If they put sentinel prime in the cybertron prequel, who would voice him?

[garthdavis]

The Fallen must've forgotten all about Sentinel Prime.

[MysticVolve]

It's amazing how much detail and hard work you put into these videos. Just seeing you do all of these types of videos is tremendous.

[shaheershakeel]

you know when I first got the glimpse of Sentinel Prime in the intro of Dark of the Moon, I thought he was the next big thing and great triumph of Auto-bots and it was probably first positive intro of a transformers movie, that into gave me chills ... but I was so much disappointed by what happened later and the death my favourite bot Ironhide thanks for this video

[LastPrimeSpeculator]

Amazing video bro! As always! Still to this day RBG is the GOAT and favorite YouTuber! Keep bringing the heat with this Transformers Origins Stories.

[yozzzeh]

Felt like Optimus should have exiled him by the end of the film rather than killing him, it would have been an honorable action, knowing his intention to save cybertronian race.

[J.L.The-runt]

He DOES look like alpha trion! When I watched G1 episodes for the first time a few years ago I mistakenly thought Trion was Sentinel!

[oriontheraptor]

I like how sentinel primes chassis looks like hes dressed in a fancy suit and looks like a evil gentleman kinda like that look and personality

[stormpants]

Because of your awesome voice acting for the characters, I subbed.

[PieroMinayaRojas]

Transformers Dark Of The Moon is my favorite transformers movie.

[RiceBoy]

Optimus prime should have taken sentinel prime prisoner to find answer.
