Sentinel turned it down, feeling unable to lead on a planet he did not know, and telling Optimus that he was now his teacher, rather than his protege.ĭiscovering evidence that the Decepticons held the missing pillars, the Autobots' young human ally Sam Witwicky believed that they would soon be coming after Sentinel Prime, since only he could activate the technology. Optimus proceeded to give Sentinel a tour of Earth, which led the old Autobot to marvel at the beauty and the life of the planet, after which Optimus offered Sentinel the Matrix back. Sentinel explained the space bridge to the Autobots and humans, lamenting the seeming loss of the pillars that the Decepticons had stolen, and took an immediate dislike to Mearing when she ordered the few remaining pillars taken into custody. Taking his mentor's body back to Earth, Optimus revived him with the Matrix of Leadership, and Sentinel awoke in a crazed rage, briefly attacking Optimus before coming to his senses. Demanding information from new National Security Director Charlotte Mearing, Optimus learned that the ship was on the moon, and subsequently travelled there with Ratchet to find and retrieve Sentinel Prime. In 2011, a mission to Chernobyl resulted in Optimus Prime's Autobots discovery of a piece of the Ark, which had been recovered by a later Russian moon mission. The NASA astronauts found no trace of them, nor of Sentinel himself, safely sealed in the ship's crash vault with five remaining pillars. However, before Apollo 11 got there, a team of Decepticons led by Soundwave, who had tracked the vessel, removed the majority of the space bridge pillars from the ship to keep them out of human hands. The impact was detected by NASA, triggering the space race of the 1960s and leading to the United States of America's eventual first trip to the moon in 1969, which was secretly an attempt to inspect the crashed alien ship. In 1961, the Ark crashed on Earth's moon. The war was left to continue with none save Megatron aware of Sentinel's treachery. Sentinel's intention was to depart for the chosen planet-Earth-and meet Megatron there later, but during the battle that erupted around the departure of Sentinel's ship the Ark, the vessel was damaged and sent spiralling off into the depths of space, presumed lost forever. Believing that it was only through the sacrifice of another world that Cybertron could be restored, Sentinel developed teleportational space bridge technology to transport resources across interstellar distances-but, knowing that his chosen successor Optimus would never condone his course of action, Sentinel kept his plans a secret, claiming the bridge was a means of transporting troops into battle. As the conflict dragged on and Cybertron became less and less hospitable, Sentinel became desperate and secretly arranged an alliance with the Decepticon commander Megatron. When the war on Cybertron broke out, Sentinel Prime would lead the Autobots as they fought to prevent the Decepticons from dominating the planet. However, he was also of the belief that Cybertronians were superior to other life-forms, viewing them as gods in comparison to lesser organic races. He represented all of the qualities expected of a Prime: a noble leader, a wise sage and a powerful warrior. Long before the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, he ruled Cybertron benevolently as the last in the lineage of the Primes. Sentinel Prime was an ancient Cybertronian leader in Michael Bay's Transformers film continuity.
