The Sentinels

[MessiahDecoy123]

I want huge, 40 foot tall, lumbering sentinels tearing open roof tops and scanning for terrified mutants.

It's very apocalyptic.

None of that mini-sentinel crap.

[ThePowerCosmic]

I want to see the Sentinels attacking the mansion while the kids are in it, maybe in a flashback. It would be cool to see Sentinels rip the roof from the mansion and also storm through as they crash down walls and capture/kill mutants.

Two words: Master Mold

I think the Sentinels are enough. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they make Master Mold as the leader of the Sentinels.

Bleh. if McAvoy and Fassbender lose any screentime to anyone from the original eh it won't be worth seeing.

So you COULD care less about them? So you liked them then?

will there be different types of sentinels? not just the giant humanoid kind but perhaps "Ravage" style beasts, flying creatures, water-based sentinels and more.

[ThePowerCosmic]

^ When people ask questions like that before we've gotten any info ourselves, I wonder if they're really looking for an answer or if it's rhetorical. I mean, how are we expected to know something like that? Exclusive inside information? That was rhetorical question, by the way.

I think seeing Sentinels in their normal/original form will be enough. In my opinion, having them work in different types would make this movie look like Transformers.

[MessiahDecoy123]

or Terminator Salvation.

That's exactly what I was thinking lol...

Just one type of Sentinel is enough. It would be complicated, too confusing, too convoluted and too costly to do multiple varieties.

[Marv]

Yeah, I just want one model.

[Angamb]

diferent sentinels would make it closer to Transformers franchise.
And the comics have always showed them with just one design, so the movie universe should respect that

...Does anyone think the events of DOFP will be one film or have ramifications in following entries? If the latter, I say, do the Sentinels in DOFP and follow up with Master Mold in sequel(s)?

Not Mastermold because its an A.I.

Bastion would be a better choice.

[Tristan_McClark]

I knew after Transformers was a hit, it would be a matter of time before we saw Sentinels. Can't wait!

I think it would be more effective if they use Bastion in the movie or in the sequels as opposed to Master Mold. It's a human-looking villain. Think T2 Judgment Day and the drama a human-looking killing machine brings.

[psylockolussus]

Agreed!

[gkokujin]

while I would love bastion, I think Nimrod/Mastermold hybrid (not bastion himself) would be more acceptable and doable.

Think about someone breaking into the Sentinel manufacturing plant and gtting to the control room and finding out the control roomand system IS Nimrod/MasterMold and it takes the form of Nimrod glowing soft white and hovering over everything!

/fanboy

[psylockolussus]

Nimrod and Mastermold have no emotions. With Bastion, his motives on killing mutants would give the film more drama, depth and sense.

[gkokujin]

then how the hell would they explain Bastions existence?

"Oh a mystical portal merged these robots and thy came out together as a human who hates mutants"

then again, I could see him as a human who kept augmenting his cybernetics until there was nothing left but rage.

I doubt they'd go with the comic book origin for Bastion. Nor are they likely to use the name Bastion or one of his aliases, Sebastian Gilbert, as both sound too much like Sebastian Shaw. How many evil (Se)bastians can there be in this franchise?

[jignat]

Perhaps they could use a variation on Donald Pierce or Cameron Hodge?

i.e a human who hates mutants so much that he alters himself cybernetically for revenge?
Or is driven to start the Sentinel program himself?

[marvelrobbins]

Your forgetting they may only have regurly sentinles In film.The question Is would they be as large as sentinles in Comics.

[marvelrobbins]

The new trailer for Jack The Giant Slayer shows Bryan Singer Is capabale of large CGI
creations on screen.Hopefully we will get giant sentinles.

If Stryker, a priest in the comics was portrayed as a military scientist in the movies. I'm sure they could come up with a solution on how to explain Bastion's existence when they decided to use him in the movie.
