Days of Future Past The Sentinels

[GuestStar2004]

Just for everyone's sanity I wouldn't bank your hopes up that they will change that much in the 2000s, not including mark X

 

[AndrewGilkison]

The viral Trask site has already given us pictures of different looking Sentinels. Some of which look very intimidating.

 

[GuestStar2004]

where?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I trust that Singer will deliver on the intimidating Sentinels.

 

[GuestStar2004]

they have only shown us one sort of sentinel, comic con and the website, and the viral video on the site seems to be modern talking about 50 years and they have the same sorta sentinel shown in the background on the beach shot

i think people are getting above themselves here

in 2020 they worked out how to combined mutant DNA with a sentinel i wouldnt be surprised if that was the art work you can see on the site

I honestly don't think anyone should be jumping to conclusions just because this is the only Sentinel model we have seen. A wait and see approach is the best possible option, instead of immediate assumptions. If it doesn't happen, oh well.

 

[GuestStar2004]

the website is mean't to be modern day and mean't to feel genuine, and i know people will say but singer wants to keep the modern day ones a secret because they are sooo menacing and big

i really wouldn't bank your hopes up though, they may just end up upgraded versions of the same design tbh

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

You've said that already. Now it just gives off the impression that you're hammering your opinion into peoples' heads. Let us think what we want to think until there is direct proof that those will be the only Sentinel models we see. Like I said, if it doesn't happen, oh well. Until then there is room for speculation.

 

[Spade]

The Sentinels here look a lot like what Singer wanted for X2.

I vaguely remember they were able to compact into discs? That would be neat.

well i'm trying to open you guys minds to the idea that they probably wont look that different rather then be disappointed, because so far there is no proof there will be a different looking model, that alone is wishful thinking speculation

i mean yeah sure there might be different looking ones, but from the look of that website i have my doubts, a modern day looking website only showing designs of 70s sentinels... i mean the websites really clever so i don't see what there is to hide, apart from the idea that there are hidden badass looking sentinels singer is hiding

i mean fine we will wait and see, but i'm starting to think singer isn't hiding anything apart from maybe Mark X

Our minds are open. They are open to more possibilities other than what has been shown to us so far. I'm sure that most people are prepared to deal with it if those are the only Sentinels we get. Like others have mentioned, these Sentinels could look much better in motion and with some special effects added anyway. All that we mainly ask for in the end is a great movie, though. I think that's something we can all agree on.

I think they could form into a spherical shape. Those Sentinels look more intimidating than what we are getting, though. Even though I'm not a fan of the slinky-esque design.

Here they are

I just want to point out that most robots in real life have the exposed wires look. I don't think Sentinels or Transformers with the "blocky" look would translate as well on screen because it would just look "wrong". Meaning that while it is definitely possible to have a robot with everything encased, I think the reason they're not is for overheating problems and making it more difficult to maintain/fix without having to take plates of armor off first.

Also, that Sentinel, as others pointed out, is clearly not exactly the way it will look in the movie. This is 2013, special effects exist people.

I can't imagine any overheating problems would or could be an issue for a sentinel. Otherwise Pyro and other heat related mutants are going to be a big problem. I'm thinking it will be more related to how they fly.

Haha, seems so obvious. I don't know how I didn't think of that. Yeah, probably less weight to fly more believably.

I'm guessing that, and/or also kind of a directional thrust or stabilizer like the second rotor on a helicopter.

 

[PoSeiDon]

I really love this design. Also, for those saying it should look more threatening - I don't really think they should look threatening at all. These are machines designed to make people feel secure and safe, why would they be made to look like monsters to everyone when they're supposed to make people feel safe? The threatening factor should come from knowing what they can do. It's like seeing the monster within the machine and that's what makes them scary. Looking at it - awe and splendor and a feeling of comfort. That thing looking to kill you - you don't want to be anywhere near it.

Exactly. That design goes with their "Celebrate 50 years of....". Its for the world to feel secure and safe, then something happens and they go with the Mark X in the future.

This was me, checking out this thread:

THIS^^^ lol. Singer is getting us to exciting for a trailer now!

 

[Loki882]

If there are multiple Sentinel models in the movie, then I'm sure there will be more "intimating" models, this is just one.

That's a big IF, just saying.

The site specifically states that as Mark 1, and Mark X will be released in 2020.

Yeah, I think so too. We'll see.

That's a big IF, just saying.

There you go again. I don't think you can help yourself.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

The site specifically states that as Mark 1, and Mark X will be released in 2020.

And if they're going by Roman numerals, that means that Mark X will be the 10th model. That seems like too many models throughout the years for them not to change up the appearance at all.

 

[samsnee]

I like the overall design, just not that it looks so plastic-y.

 

[PoSeiDon]

That is Gospel! But people don't want to see or hear the Gospel. They want to see their own fantasies come true.
