Sentinel Prime

Sentinel Prime (センチネル・プライム, Senchineru Puraimu) hails from an older time, when Cybertron was the galaxy's crown jewel, and the Transformer race was full of promise and potential. The only known remaining Prime, he personified what a leader should be: wise, compassionate, and a more than worthy warrior. Revered by both Autobot and Decepticon, few would dare stand against his shield and Primax Blade.

But when Sentinel was presumably lost forever on board the Ark, Optimus Prime, his hand-picked successor, was left to fill his void. The loss of Sentinel signaled the end of Cybertron's golden age, and the planet spiraled deeper into war. Some who recall Sentinel's reign bitterly remember when Transformers were masters of their fate, rather than scattered to the stars and living as exiles. Above all, Sentinel Prime is a staunch nationalist. He loves his home planet with all of his Spark and will do anything- even go to extremes- to protect it.

Past
Long ago, during the war on Cybertron, a heated battle erupted around the Ark, a shuttle commandeered by Sentinel Prime and a small crew, which carried a special, secret cargo that Sentinel claimed would end the war. However, the shuttle was hit in battle, disappeared, and presumed lost forever. In 1961, the Ark hit Earth's moon, crashing there, and its impact was detected by NASA. This event inspired the United States of America's eventual first trip to the moon in 1969, which was secretly an attempt to inspect the crashed alien ship. However before Apollo 11 got there, approximately two hundred Decepticons and Orbital Assault Carriers raided the Ark, stole the ship's cargo and concealed themselves under the Moon's surface. A Space Bridge Technology called a Pillar. However they left five Pillars along with Sentinel in the crash vault. When Apollo reached the moon, the crew cut communication with every NASA worker apart from the highest command. They searched the ship and returned to Earth. Though NASA astronauts would make a handful of trips to the moon in the next few years, none would stumble upon the Ark's crash vault, which contained Sentinel Prime's comatose body and a small fraction of his secret cargo.

In 1972 the moon program was mysteriously shut down, thereby preventing the Soviets from landing on the Moon and discovering Sentinel and the Pillars.
