Transformers DOTM Leader Class Sentinel Prime Video Review

Great review and the figure looks great! I bought almost none of the revenge of the fallen movie figs, but I think I'm sold on this one at least.

Wasn't really into this figure for the most part but this review may have persuaded me.

Over all the bot mode is pretty sweet. Not really diggin the face though. The legs look really good to me aswell.

He's sure to be pricey at retail. Prolly the 60 dollar range just like Prime was which will make for an easy pass since i'm not completely convinced on Sentinel Primes awesomeness.

Like 'em or not, not that is one marvelously complicated transformation sequence. I'm getting this guy.

those figures are really loose. no way am i transforming mine back to firetruck mode and then back. he is staying tight and able to stand on his own. looks great

If I get this one I might change the LEDs to blue. its a shame that thy're using orange LEDs now... eg Battle Ops Bumble Bee

GALANTMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He strikes me as a cross between RID Optimus Prime and Vector Prime.

I do like him, though he is for the most part a shell-former but then they were always going to have trouble converting a long smooth box into a movieverse bot.

I like, I shall buy.

Strangely, I thought he would be a little bit more... larger...

This guy's reviews are so poor. They would really benefit from some editing so we don't have to watch him struggling to get the figure to stand, which seems to take up a lot of time in almost every Peaugh review. Half the time he neglects to talk about articulation.

I want one !!! I also want a 3rd party company to make an Alpha Trion head for this figure !!!

Nice figure... Gonna get both Hasbro and Takara version

To each his own, but I think Peaugh is trying to get these DOTM vids up ASAP so we can see them. IIRC, he just got SP that day, so it's not going to be perfect.

I usually enjoy his reviews, along with baltmatrix‬‏, optibotimus‬‏, and BikerTrashWolf‬‏.

He has no agenda, not trying to sell us anything. I like these reviews more than most others.

Yeah, I thought about that too. I thought he was taller than ROTF OP from the pictures we saw before.

No, I think that's a good point. Sentinel Prime seems back heavy and has some balance issues since he doesn't have big flat foot to support the weight. We can see he has to lean forward in order to stand right. Could be same amount of time (or more or less) for us to make him stand.

Awesome. I'm really glad to see his shield and sword store underneath, I was worried about that. He looks really badass in bot mode, aside from the slightly weird face, but I can overlook that because it's Movieverse. Well proportioned, well-articulated, awesome firetruck alt mode, some pretty cool gimmicks. There's a lot to love. His voice sounds absolutely ridiculous ("Starscream, is that you?"), but I usually take the batteries out anyway. I definitely want to buy this guy.

I'm not trying to be a prick, but isn't the whole point of getting these videos up as soon as possible to get a bigger share of the revenue-sharing from YouTube?

Not all of the reviewers. I know Peaugh started out merely as a reviewer, with no intention of revenue sharing. I don't even know if he does it now, but if he does, it's just a perk on the side, more or less.

This guy looks epic, although I'm a little put off by his bot mode size. Personally I like the red - it's quite striking and high contrast. Fire truck mode is officially AWESOME. I love fire truck transformers, and for me this one beats the hell out of RID Optimus and Universe Inferno.

Great figure and cool transformation! I definitely have to pick one up. I'm really hoping for a leader Megatron; it has the potential to be an awesome figure.

Truly apples and oranges. And if they were all the same fruit, you would be mistaken sir.
As for the rest, their is a lot going on with this figure. I really like it and will be getting one.

Does anyone else get the cape vibe from the split panels on his back? Maybe I just have cape sportin bots on my mind...

I think the statement is more to contrast with the reviewers that are sponsored by one toy sales site or another. The feeling some get, whether valid or not, is that they are more motivated to sell the toy, and not necessarily give an unbiased review.


Personally, I really like Peaugh's reviews, in part, BECAUSE they are mostly unedited. You get to see the good and the bad about the figure. I like that sometimes parts pop off, or here where the figure appears top heavy, it showcases the good and bad about the figure.


As it stands, I'm pretty excited about this fig.
I suspect he will make it to my "permanent" shelf.

I REALLY hope there is an Alpha Trion repaint.

Yeah that's what I've been thinking the back panels were supposed to be. I guess it makes him seem more important or noble.

In additional to providing us with the video review for Transformers DOTM Leader Class Sentinel Prime peaugh has also posted his bio over on TFW05.

SENTINEL PRIME is a legendary warrior, thought lost long ago. The strength of his will and the power of his sword are spoken of in reverent whispers by AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON alike. Now that he has returned, the final defeat of MEGATRON and the DECEPTICONS is assured.

So he's definately going to get his ass handed to him and someone else will have to step up to finish the job.

Unless they take the literal route of Deus Ex Machina, in which case its probably not a good idea to put such epic spoilers on the toy package.

Sounds like an epic character, but I just hope he doesn't upstage Optimus Prime.

I'm probably going to like Sentinel Prime, but I'll always like Megatron more, so I hope he beats the crap out of Prime (both of them actually, to make up for his beating last movie).

I do have to some what agree with Counterpunch. Some of these videos are poor. The camera has to be manually focused anytime we are shown close ups, the colors shift badly when it adjusts to the different colors of the figure, the table shakes when bumped and then the camera shakes, and it appears to be too close to the figures where Peaugh has to adjust the angle just to view the segment he is transforming. Haha maybe we just need to pool some money together to get Peaugh a new camera.

That aside, Peaugh I can tell your passionate about this and I DO enjoy watching your reviews. Keep it up!!

As for this figure I am not really a fan of it. The red isn't as fire engine red as I would like. He appears too top heavy. His sword looks like it is junk and the figure looks bland overall. Not a fan and I'll pass. Is it just me or does this DOTM line not really excite you? It is just not doing it for me. That is unless some better stuff comes through the pipeline later.

Great review. i usually watch other video reviews but i usually comment on peaugh, coz i commented once on another reviewer and turns out he was so sensitive. i didnt like his reply.

Maybe this question is taboo, if so please forgive me, but how do a couple of these guys always get these toys so far in advance? Do they work for Hasbro or live in Hong Kong or something?

Anyway, that Sentinel Prime is a must have for me after this review.

I love how the shield opens into the Jaws of Life, I might have get him a Firefighting Axe instead of that folding sword.

I can't wait to get this action figure and learn more about the character. I think he'll end up being a good component to the story.

And man I'd like to know how Peaugh gets all of these figures months in advance of release. He's pretty lucky if you ask me. But I do enjoy his reviews better than others. I think he could take some lighting and camera pointers from optibotimus though.

Well I already have him and Leader BB in hand. Bascially for me, I got it from one of the specialties shops in Singapore.

Hes a great toy, only thing i dislike is how the panels are to be forced when in vehicle mode, otherwise its a great toy.

I agree with you, I've never had to "have" any of the movie figures, nor did I care for their look, but this one looks great AND movie accurate (so did that Optimus)...
