Prime A**hole

The Story of a Prime who was never worthy of the title. I take a deep dive into TRANSFORMERS SENTINEL PRIME history to unpack how Sentinel Prime went from a forgotten footnote before Optimus Prime to one of the most consistently corrupt, authoritarian, and downright untrustworthy figures in the entire franchise. Across G1, Marvel and IDW comics, Transformers Animated, live-action films, and Transformers One, I explore how Sentinel’s legacy keeps repeating the same pattern—lies, abuse of power, betrayal, and a spectacular fall that somehow still surprises Cybertron every time. This isn’t just a villain breakdown; it’s a look at what happens when authority replaces worthiness, when “Prime” becomes a costume instead of a calling, and why Sentinel Prime may be the clearest proof that leadership without morality always ends the same way.
