ALPHA TRION'S DATATRAX "CYBERTRONIAN MANIFEST" ENTRY #006: NAME: Sentinel Prime IDENTITY: Male FUNCTION: (Former) Autobot Leader HOME PLANET: Cybertron CURRENT RESIDENCE: Cybertron STATUS: Deceased SENTINEL ZETA Once upon a time, Sentinel was a mere dockworker like Orion Pax. Unlike Pax, though, he wasn't very liked by his peers. He had quite a sour attitude that put most other workers off, and his constant bragging didn't help either. He didn't stay there long, though, because as soon as he had enough experience, he went off to the Academy of Autonomus to become a member of the Autobot High Guard. SENTINEL MINOR Sentinel graduated with the rank of "Minor", just barely meeting the requirement to join the High Guard. He quickly earned the nickname "Sureshot" while there for his inability to hit shots with a blaster, a nickname he wouldn't shake even after he later becomes a Prime. During his tenure in the High Guard, he would catch the eye of Senator Longarm, who would take him in and modify his body to be able to hold the Matrix of Leadership. He took this to mean he was going to become a Prime soon, and he wouldn't be wrong... SENTINEL PRIME After Nominus Prime died, the Matrix found its way to Sentinel, and the crown hung heavy on his head. He was the youngest Prime to receive the Matrix at that point, and was very quickly overwhelmed by his responsibilities. His snarky personality quickly devolved into apathetic narcissism. He grew paranoid, too, as the Decepticon revolution was very quickly growing. He turned the High Guard into his personal defense militia, in case a violent uprising were to occur. He also sent his Guard to quarantine Cybertron's few remaining hot spots, so the 'cons couldn't get their hands on any new protoforms. His paranoia and controversial decisions caused the public to quickly turn on him, and once Archforce began the Great Uprising, he was one of the first to be targeted. But it wasn't Archforce who would take him down in the end-- it would be Megatron himself. ALPHA TRION'S DATATRAX "CYBERTRONIAN MANIFEST" ENTRY #007: NAME: Archforce IDENTITY: Male FUNCTION: (Former) Decepticon Leader HOME PLANET: Cybertron CURRENT RESIDENCE: Cybertron STATUS: Deceased ARCHFORCE Like Sentinel, the former Decepticon leader Archforce came from humble origins. He was once an energon miner who worked hard for his pay, but believed strongly in the Decepticon cause in hopes that one day he could be liberated. His belief in Decepticonism put him on Decepticon Commander Straxus's radar, and he was soon chosen to be its next leader after the previous one fell in battle. The commander, on a routine visit to the mines, caused a collapse that would fatally wound the young miner- and put him in the perfect spot to be turned into a leader. ARCHFORCE (LEADER) He would be given an ununtrium upgrade and fitted with a fission cannon powerful enough to level a city block. Straxus would also have Decepticon scientists perform a sort-of shadowplay on him to make sure he'd make a good leader. But his proletariat origins still shined through, and he became a symbol for the people during the Great Uprising. MUSIC: Chaos King - Deltarune Chapter 1 OST AUTHOR'S NOTE okay, there's a lot to go over with sentinel's many designs. first off, his sentinel zeta form is based on Animated Sentinel Prime and Transformers One Sentinel Prime, with a bit of his G1 show design mixed in. his sentinel minor form is based on the Armada character of the same name, with G2 Sureshot's colors and alt mode. i thought combining the two would be perfect because Armada Sentinel Minor uses the character model of another character named Sureshot! and, finally, his prime design is based on IDW Sentinel Prime with DOTM Sentinel Prime's colors. archforce is obviously based on the G2 character, and was chosen to be the rival of sentinel and leader of the decepticons because G2 Archforce and Sureshot are rivals!
