Toy Review - Titans Return Voyager Sentinel Prime

[Batfan007]

I really like Orange so don't have an issue with the color. But I wish they had given him some nice highlights, even some yellow lines on his arms like that idw comic art.
If I buy this I'm going to ruin it with sharpies or paint pens because he needs some highlights.
Overall I think the robot mode is lovely.

It also looks like someone did a wash or panel lining on the regular Sentinel Prime, it shows the details more.

can anyone tell me how to get the head off of this guy? Doesn't want to budge. Galvo's head comes right off easy with one finger, Sentinel's won't come off even with a white knuckle grip. Ball joint starts hyper-extending.

Sentinel's little head dude is designed very closely after his IDW look. Astrotrain's is a repaint of this.

Then there's the armored train mode. I'd assume that Sentinel is not a simple repaint of Astrotrain with a new head. The development of these two were parallel. This makes me feel that the purchase of Sentinel is justified

The panel lining brings out all the details which looks fantastic. The Hasbro Asia stickers in his other review however look atrocious though

Try wiggle it to expend the clips

I wasn't super interested in this guy, but once I had him in hand I was impressed. If you can get past the orange, he's fantastic and by far the better wave 1 Voyager. The train mode is basically stupid, but the fact that they made it happen is impressive - it's a great transformation and both other modes are fantastic. Bring on Astrotrain.

Got him yesterday, only problems i've encountered were with the head (loose legs and infinitus head was turned the wrong way when placed into the body slot making it very hard to remove from the body first time around). I think this guy could be improved with a little bit of paint just to bring out some details, other than that I really dig him. I get a real 'ark' feel from the spaceship mode for some reason, possibly because of the overall flat shape to it. Train mode is alright, I want to like it more but having the titan master cockpit sitting so high up in the middle of the train just doesnt work for me It ends up looking like a submarine crossed with a sail boat, I feel like in real life a moderate breeze would tip this thing over. After seeing astrotrain in a review I'm not sure if I'll buy this mold again. In the end I think it comes down to character preference but personally im fine with sentinel as his head sculpt looks much better than astrotrains in my opinion.
