Years later, he was still a jerk, but a jerk with prestige, having been promoted to Sentinel Prime. Of course then Bumblebee admitted to accidentally knocking a tower on him (actually covering for Bulkhead) and Sentinel gave him the boot. In the end, he commended Bumblebee for his role in discovering a seeming Decepticon spy/traitor. Of course, in Bumblebee's case, the extra attention was not exactly unmerited, as the little glitch-head managed to get Sentinel's feelings on whether Ultra Magnus should retire from command broadcast across the camp. Busting their transistors at every turn, he liked to conduct surprise inspections and force the recruits to chant that they were worthless grease stains.

A furious Sentinel blamed Optimus for what happened, even though this whole disaster had been his idea. Optimus's radar couldn't find Elita's energy signature, and he assumed that she was dead. When he came across a ship that Optimus and Elita had found, Optimus had to drag him away from the exploding energon, forcing them to leave Elita-1 behind. Sentinel tried to hold them off long enough for Optimus and Elita to escape. However, they ran into a pack of massive arachnids.
