Somewhat odd that Sentinel Prime's Matrix is green. Although this is how Nel Yomtov coloured the Matrix in the Marvel US comics, Sentinel Prime was only physically seen in the Marvel UK comics, where the Matrix was silver (as coloured by Steve White).

I bought Sentinel Prime, and am really delighted with him. I like the green matrix, and I’m just thrilled to see Roller in blue. I intend to swap Roller’s with Missing Link Convoy…. It irked me to be a grey roller. I see Sentinel as a distinct character and remember references in the UK comic to previous Primes…… I also suspect its rarity will make it climb on eBay, so glad to have locked him in now before he’s unaffordable
