Sentinel Prime is a larger Voyager-class figure and like all the voyagers from Titans Return he's also a triple changer and clearly the forerunner to an Astrotrain figure. But he's orange and I love orange so I was actually excited to get this dude. Sentinel Prime as a name has long been associated with Optimus Prime's predecessor as leader of the Autobots, often portrayed as being somewhat less than heroic. His incarnation in "Transformers: Animated" was voiced by Townsend Coleman and modelled to look a bit like the Tick which I loved. I have that figure around somewhere but I couldn't find it while making up this post.
Sentinel Prime's Titan Master partner is called Infinitus and looks appropriately "Prime-y." His blasters are cool and the seat for Infinitus actually looks alright and doesn't detract from the design as much as some of the others. The little pop-up neck things to make his head look more proportional are silly but kind of grow on you.
Titan Master Infinitus:
Spaceship mode:
This mode is really well done. |
Translucent plastic canopy for the win! |
Robots can ride outside the ship. |
Battle "tank" mode: (from the universe where tanks look like trains)
I like this mode too, it's rare for all 3 modes in a triple changer to be good. |
"I can see you..." |
The guns don't attach quite as well in this mode. |
Lots of nice little moulded details. |
I'm a train! |
Hmm... could use some more guns... |
Robot Mode:
Who needs peripheral vision? |
Here's a leg, but no Hunk. |
"Hot-cha!" |
"Ridin' in my gun" |
Train feet. |
I think is was an idea to differentiate him from Astrotrain but it's not as stable. |
Cool bot. I'm surprised how much range he has given his bulk! I agree about the modes, they're all pretty good!
ReplyDeleteYeah I was pretty impressed with his articulation. The fact that this mould was so good is why I ended up with an Astrotrain as well. I'd probably have skipped the retool if I didn't like Sentinel Prime so much.
