TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on the OMEGA SENTINELS

Unfortunately for the Decepticons, the gigantic Autobot Omega Supreme isn't the only one of his kind! This week, it's The Basics on Cybertron's gigantic, ancient protectors, the Guardian Robots - aka, the OMEGA SENTINELS!

that was the beauty of TFA, they really tried to homage EVERY part of the Transformers franchise no matter how small or superfluous it might have been and while I enjoyed TF: Prime I'm sad the planned fourth season for TFA was cancelled because Hasbro wanted to make a new series to air on Hub

[@twistedgaming9185]

@@ShanaReviews The Hub and ROTF were the reasons Animated was cancelled. The joke was on them, because the Hub couldn't really compete with the likes of Nickelodeon and Disney Channel and in 2014, it became Discovery Family, with most Hasbro and acquired third-party cartoons being moved to daytime.

I just realized that there could have been another depiction for Omega Sentinels, they could have also be depicted as troopers of Cityformer Titans in Cybertron's past but when Titans would have left the planet or went on deep sleep; Omega Sentinels would have become kinda state guardians of Autobot cities, each in status sleep and waiting when needed.

[@TheRezro]

But from what they would protect? Titans were designed primarily as space ships and mobile bases, when most causal duties is done by regular Cybertronians. I personally prefer Quintesson origin, as it would explain existence of beings purely designed as enforcers. What is bit odd for Cybertronian design? I assume most were destroyed during rebellion, but because Quintessons didn't understand that they are sentient, some could switch sides.

[@MrDoctorVK]

@@TheRezro If any of the Autobot cites were under attack, that city could be able to activate sleeping Omega Sentinel for an aid. But if whole planet is under attack, each city would activate they Omega Sentinel.

[@TheRezro]

@@MrDoctorVK From who? Cybertronians are alive. They operate more according to evolution logic, not design. Titans could defend themselves, as well as did have Cybertronian crews. Sentinels are so specialized that they needed to be design, either or Quintessons or one of factions.

[@amethyst7084]

Really interesting video - thanks for making this. I had seen the Omega Sentinels briefly profile in the 'War Dawn' second series Transformers cartoon back in the 80s, and thought it was an interesting use of Omega Supreme's origin. The earliest references to Guardian robots I remember were from the U.K. Marvel Transformers comic in the 80s, where the resident Guardian robot on the Autobots' ship, the Ark, went rogue and caused the apparent death of Swoop, resulting in the Dimobots self-driving themselves; and then there was the storyline which involved Optimus Prime returning to Cyberron, only to be falsely accused by the Wreckers, after being accosted by a customised Guardian robot. Both Guardian robots were visually different from those of the cartoons, but their more 'more normal' and less than gargantuan size meant they were often closer to the action. Interesting in your video Chris, how the more recent toy versions of the Omega Sentinels visually resemble a strange cross between Fortress Maximus and Metroplex. The Headmaster version in particular reminds me of Fortress Maximus and Cerebros👍🏾
