Because I'm considering getting that set at it's reduced prices - their Brainstorm is, pardon the pun, a no-brainer; I do like Windblade in those colours and I'd totally be happy putting her with Road Rage and Pyra Magna... but what about Sentinel? Is he alright? I don't like the translucency and sea of warm colours much (compared to retail Sentinel's grey on the thighs and such for breakup) but I'm curious about in-hand opinions.
Aside from the initial QC issues I had (and the miss-assembly in all Titan Master sockets) I rather like the SDCC Sentinel. It's the paint. In particular, it is the only version on which the rail car wheels are painted. TR Sentinel has only the interior sets painted silver, and Astrotrain has none painted. There's more of a uniform color scheme to the fuselage and wings in Shuttle mode, with nice paint accents on the cockpit. Overall, I like him just a bit more than the TR version, but not significantly.
If I had to do it over again, I might have passed since I was able to find Walgreens Brainstorm pretty easily and I prefer the red RiD version of Windblade (and am actually disappointed in that Windblade mold, anyway.) Considering I bought the SDCC set to get Brainstorm and Windblade, I am pleasantly surprised by Sentinel, and he has easily surpassed Windblade in my mind.
I hope this helps.
