Sentinel feels like a much more deluxe figure than the rest of the bots from this case. He's got extra parts and nicer paint. Let's talk about that paint for a second. The armor bits are nice metallic colors that really pop against the naturally flat colors of the robot parts. He's a regal one and wants you to know it.
The kit uses the new sturdier body as a base and it comes with the two sets of hands and base as you'd expect. Once the main body is assembled, there's some extra parts to put on. His wings most noticeably. Then there's the matching chest and knee ornamentation. I appreciate the double bladed sword as the standard release came with another weapon. I don't have the Studio Series toy yet, so having his movie weapon represented is nice. It's actually two swords that can be held separately if you choose. The wings pop into place with some little pegs and are decently articulated. He's very expressive, so I imagine many scenes from the movie could be replicated.
I'm very impressed with this one, everything just feels so extra. Transformers Blokees heads all assemble pretty much the same. There's the little eye color piece that the neck joint attaches to inside the head. The face piece connects through the eyes and the helmet is in two halves that fit over this. Sentinel does all this the same, but with his helmet being closed off at the bottom and not open... it just feels nicer. There's little peg holes in his forearms that you can attach those arm lasers from Death Tracker of you chose. That doesn't even need to be there and it is. It feels like the designers really chose this kit to show off a little and it certainly impressed me. Good job Blokees.
