Sentinel Prime Suite | Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Original Soundtrack) by Steve Jablonsky 

On Cybertron, they were gods. Now, on Earth, they are simply machines. Sentinel Prime was committed to Cybertron, the same way we would be committed to saving our own planet from the brink of destruction, at whatever cost. Whether Sentinel Prime likes it or not, he is just as human as the rest of us.

Ah Sentinel Prime. Unlike the other "real" villains of the Transformers films, Sentinel was actually a pretty interesting and compelling character. Granted, his plot beats are simple and very much underdevelped, but he has more depth than most Disney twist villains, which is something! His bare-bones character and motivation is enough to add to Dark of the Moon's slight advantage over the rest of the franchise.

A painful truth, Sentinel's last words were no, But he wasn't saying this to beg optimus. Because Optimus had told him “You didn’t betray me, You betrayed yourself”. That's why he said no to Optimus. Because he did not want to admit that he had betrayed, Because he didn't want to kill Optimus from the beginning, He didn't kill Optimus in the first place, he released him. He was waiting for his best student to understand him, He wanted to be with her best friend, Because he didn't want to build Cybertron alone with decepticons, Because this honor could only belong to him and optimus. But the conditions were impossible, the chances of the autobots winning the battle were very low. That's why he had to sign the treaty he didn't want. Before killing ironhide, He sadly confessed his true purpose and plan to Autobots, and He had to kill Ironhide, Because he had to get to the columns and Ironhide could have prevented him there, so he had to get him out of the way, That was the only reason he killed his. One of the basic rules of being Prime is not to harm the living, Maybe he broke the rules here but he was still an Autobot. You can call him a bad guy but he was just a heartbroken because he was thinking about his planet. In fact, he did not want to harm the autobots, He was just trying to stop the autobots from winning. Even in the last fight scene with Optimus, And the last scene was also close to killing his best friend for the sake of the planet in order to disperse the autobots because there was no other choice. You have already noticed from the words. He was talking about saving Cybertron, saying how great his kind was. And He wanted to rebuild his planet so much that this desire made him drunk, and unfortunately he became a victim of his desires, eventually forgetting who he was..😢

Optimus is considered a traitor to his planet for the sake of humanity, while Sentinel was fighting to reclaim his people

Sentinel: "Optimus... all I ever wanted... was the survival of our race... You must see why I had to betray you." Optimus: "You didn't betray me." [loads Megatron's gun] "You betrayed yourself. [Aims at Sentinel] Sentinel: "NO, OPTIMUS!" [Gets shot twice]

Bro how come Megatron gets to have Lokie syndrome but Sentinel gets shot in the face and never comes back. Sentinel was probably the best villain of the entire bayverse.

I love his theme so much. Thank you for this suite.

Steve Jablonsky is genius👍😄

It was so cool that this was in the third movie, after the stuff with the first primes and the Fallen and stuff. We had already heard abuot a "fallen prime", but this was like much more personal

What a beautiful theme for a traitor

probably the best musical motif in the entire franchise

I agree with you 110% my guy. I've been starting to hear ambient mixes or suites of the Transformers orchestral scores thru the films and everytime I get to Sentinel Prime's leitmotif, it resonated more deeply than I thought when I was a kid. Steve Jablonsky truly made a special theme that was as you said complex emotionally and imo had a somber, empowering but damaging flow thru the orchestration. and each variation of it thru DOTM made it special in each moment and fitted perfectly. Thanks for sharing appreciation to an underrated piece of music in the Transformers franchise and thanks for this suite man 💙

The perfect suite for my favorite Villain in Transformers, Sentinel Prime. Despite what he's done, his intentions were pure. And his talk with Optimus, the quotes he's gave were very much true. The OG voice for Galvatron in G1 was the perfect fit for him. And that's why Sentinel is one of the best post-"original 13" Primes before Optimus rise to leadership. He never was evil, but the means to accomplish his goals led him down the villainous path. He's such a a tragic anti-villain. Truly I hope future versions of the character makes him a tragic Anti-villain, he truly deserves a redemption arc and more love.

Optimus doing the right thing even if need to kill he`s mentor, he`s teacher, he`s friende.

As goofy as these movies were, Sentinel turning on the autobots was a twist I didn’t see coming at the time. His theme is probably my favourite of the entire catalogue of music from the films. You could pretty much swap it out for Optimus.

My third favorite villain theme after Unicron/Scourge and Lockdown

I love the transformers saga ❤

One of the Top 5 (if not #1) Best Vilian scores in the Transformers franchise

Sentinel era um guerreiro perdido que perdeu suas ideias para tristeza da guerra...

In the megatron's Revenge It should be Optimus Retribution 👀 Amazing Theme, Sentinel was the villain but what a great Villain he was
