TFW boards member Nevermore has once again let us know about some new Titans Return stock photos, this time for Voyager Sentinel Prime, from UK distributor A.B.Gee. This gives us some nice robot mode, train mode, and packaging shots, along with a look at his collector card. No ship mode image as of yet though.
Let us know your thoughts on this guy in the discussion thread!

Wait, shit, that is a GREAT idea…

honestly, as someone who works in the field and has gone on more then a few product shoots, that's kind of a poor excuse: if you are the product photographer, your job is to make them look good to help the product sell right?
That said their should be a brand or product manager on the shoot that is the person in charge of making sure things are Transformed right and posed dynamically and showing off the right features (AT THE VERY LEAST transformed right, sheesh.)
Autovolt 127
I probably will get him.

Also, if you want IDW Sentinal Prime's body from All Hail Megatron, well,
the headmaster's robot mode has all the right details…

He's not my favourite character, but he's pretty high up. Higher up than you would think.
And this Sentinel Prime's head does bare a striking resemblance to IDW Sentinel, who is my preferred version of the character.
As for the body? He's getting this design in the comics. It's all good.

Marvel UK.
Colors are fine. But the head should look more Rodimus-ish.
Might buy TM Hot Rod, just so I can stick that head on him instead.

Most likely going to pass on this, for two reasons. 1. I am DEFINITELY getting Astrotrain and I usually have to really like a character to justify buying a redeco/remold.
The problem here is that it's Sentinel Prime. I would be very surprised to find out if he was ANYONE'S favorite character. And even if he is, chances are, your favorite Sentinel Prime most likely doesn't look anything like this.
That's my problem, he bears zero resemblance to any of his notable counterparts (the DOTM movie, Animated, or, more obscurely, Sentinel Major from the G1 cartoon)
I love that some people are like " SWEET! A Prime who isn't Optimus!" …But look at his head. He is basically just an orange Optimus Prime! You could repaint him in Prime's colors and the only comment you could really make about him being inconsistent with other Optimus Prime incarnations is that he is not a truck of any kind

With the colors I feel like this could have worked as Solas Prime instead of Sentinel Prime.

Agreed. SP is a maybe, he's a character I couldn't care less about, but might just get. No replacing the Classics Astrotrain though, unless they were to upscale that figure. Especially since I was able to get the Japanese colored one.

"I'm on fire"
SP who was a firetruck in DOTM now looks like he needs his former alt mode to extinguish himself! He is Cybertron Giant Planet Quickmix's long lost brother.

Reminds me a lot of supersentai tokkyuger build daioh when the trains are stacked atop each other.

I was thinking the same thing…

I suspect Takara will work their oriental voodoo all over this toy and make it glorious.

Such an awesome looking figure, I'm glad this rendition of Sentinel finally got a figure. I also hope sometime we see either a fan, or Hasbro themselves make a Blue / Animated / War for Cybertron colored version of the character. ~
Nevermore
Or maybe the people taking the stock photos simply aren't Transformers fans, on a tight schedule and don't have instructions.
Windsweeper II
He looks much better now, though i still hope Takara gives him a Fuve faces of darkness Sentinel Prime or even Zeta Prime deco.
Cincyred
Yep
TheAmazingBrave
Anyone else a little sad they replaced the silver on him with white?
Galaxy Convoy
I'll be buying one too. Couldn't give two flips about Astrotrain.
