NIMROD is a nigh-invincible super-sentinel that already appeared in the show (season 4, I think), He was hunting Bishop and alternate-versions of Wolverine and Storm through time, as they tried to prevent the assassination of a young Professor X. They defeated him by breaking the device that allowed him to time-travel, but evidently this just left him stranded in the past rather than returning him to the future. Bastion "is" NIMROD (in the comics, he is also merged with Master Mold), just arranging his own rebirth as a human sentinel, mind-controlling a hapless janitor and then merging with a human foetus.

Bastion is a bootstrap paradox. Nimrod was sent back in time to 1959 to kill Xavier. Looks like after Bishop defeated him, a part stayed in the past and infreted the man who would become Bastion's father Bastion ends up working on the Sentinels with Trask. Eventually creating human/Sentinel hybrids. This technology is eventually used to create Nimrod in 2055. Nimrod is Bastion's father and Bastion is Nimrod's.

No chance. DBZ android saga on the manga was released between 1991 - 1992. The android saga in the anime was released in 1992. X-men Operation Zero Tolerance comic series, featuring the bionic prime sentinels/androids, was released in 1997. Dragon Ball Z was a whole 5 years ahead.

The merging of Nimrod and Master Mold you see a brief scene of during the Episode 7 intro. If you watch it after Nightcrawler is introduced it shows a scene of Cable fighting Apocalypse, then flashes to Nimrod standing inside Master Mold and then Mold's eyes glow pink (same colour of the fluid that infected Bastions father) Bastion is a combination of Nimrod AND Master Mold.

The way they look at her, caught rummaging through a kid's room. They look so awkward and out of place.

@@jin-mori-10 You do realize that Brainiac stills sees Grodd and Luthor as beneath him. Brainiac has collected knowledge from many planets. Grodd, Luthor, Bastion aren’t really special.

​@@food4jStill, that doesn't change my argument, they would possibly be partners because they would both benefit Brainiac I received information from mutants and the Marvel universe In addition to being an ally for future battles, Bastion also received information about the DC universe and its "mutants" who, in his view, should also be exterminated In addition to accessing new technology to evolve and also an ally for upcoming battles,Obviously they wouldn't be friends but as it would be beneficial for both of them it would happen like it happened with other villains he has collaborated with, besides, as I said, he would be curious about more about the bastion, wanting to know how far its evolution goes.

So if you haven’t watched the original show, Nimrod is a highly advanced Sentinel from the future; from Bishop’s timeline. Nimrod infected Bastion’s dad, implanting himself into his DNA, which led to Bastion being born and having powers. And since Bastion evolved from Nimrod, he’s the most advanced sentinel now.
