Awesome. I've never seen these before. I think I like the second one the best.

this one is not bad.
Not perfect but somewhat acceptable.


I just want to hear "SURRENDER MUTANT" in a deep barreling voice like XTAS

[Great Mind(s)]

Yes the same voice from the animated series!
This would be a cool way to introduce the Sentinels

Maybe even at the epilogue of The Wolverine

Great find Spider-Fan! I've never seen those concepts, but you can see Guy's name in the bottom, so I imagine they're from the production of X2.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I really liked the design that came out of X2, it's a clever concept of mobility.

That's the best of the three images. I'm not too fond of the proportions - no neck! Makes it look a bit odd. The comic book artwork is far superior.

Not clever at all. It was done in Star Wars and why be inside a wheel or sphere when you can fly?

[BMM]

Because having a bunch of sentinels fly through New York probably isn't the best way to keep a low profile when trying to covertly invade a school full of children...

[MessiahDecoy123]

Sentinels don't care about being covert.

Thry symbolize blatant martial law or an inescapable police state.

Well excuse me.

What's so clever about a flying anthropomorphized robot? And whether the concept has been done before in another film is moot--giant robots are FAR from an original or new concept in film anyway. I still think the wheel design is a clever way to ground an outrageous concept closer to reality without taking away the giant robot.

[Storm22]

I would prefer if they avoided the wheel concept, especially after Star Wars and Transformers. The Sentinels should have a large intimidating presence at all times imo.

[Great Mind(s)]

I think they could combine the idea. Have the smaller wheeled Sentinels and larger flying Sentinels. Who is to say they need ONE model

This.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Forget the wheels and exposed wire. Keep it simple.

So a bunch of Sentinels come rolling down the road carefully negotiating 90 degree corners and obeying traffic signals...they didn't spot the major road works ahead of them and they all disappear down a huge pit Way to go Sentinels!

What good are they against a flying mutant?

That particular sentinel design was developed for X2, and while sentinels may not care about being covert, the US Government sure as hell does, especially the President.

As for Days of Future Past, I'm sure they will use something different.

[X-Maniac]

The Sentinels stand for a rule of total terror, so I don't think they would roll around in wheels unless they wanted an element of surprise. Even then, by the time they had unfurled from inside the wheel, people would have chance to run away!

[Storm22]

Agreed. I think it all depends on whether or not they want Sentinels to be stealthy/discreet or an intimidating and enforcing presence. As BMM said, the design above would have fitted well in X2 as it would have been the first time the govt. issued them. In DOFP however I'd imagine Sentinels have been around for a while.

[BMM]

Exactly. In X2, they were worried about the perception of Stryker invading the school, especially should anything happen to one of the children... so the sight of a bunch of mutant hunting, killing machines lumbering toward a school for gifted youngsters probably wouldn't have played too well. In Days of Future Past, we're beyond that.

Why are Sentinels in this movie. Dumb, dumb dumb. An actual sequel to First Class is all I wanted now they're bringing back just about every character 3 who I could careless about. Really Iceman, Rogue, and Kitty Pryde. they were terrible. Don't even get me started on Storm. Bleh. if McAvoy and Fassbender lose any screentime to anyone from the original eh it won't be worth seeing.

if we end getting some shots like this....



I really hope Singer surprises both haters and fans with this movie. He HAS to

[GREEN =w= DAY]

the Sentinels don't need to be the size of skyscrapers. i think having them be around 10-15 feet would be ideal. not exaggeratedly tall, but still just as menacing.

Yeah, they dont need to be but it would be pretty rad if they were.
