GENERAL/STORY:
The Sentinels are
large sophisticated robots created by the brilliant scientist Bolivar Trask.
Trask, a notorious mutant hater, programmed the Sentinels to find and destroy
mutants, hoping to make the world safer for "normal" humans. Trask died
soon after their creation, but he created a Master Mold that would continue
to churn out the deadly automatons.
Sentinels possess vast weaponry, have
the ability to fly and are capable of lifting several tons. Continuing
their master's evil mission even after his death, the Sentinels have been
reprogrammed several times by many individuals, including Onslaught.
It is clear that as long as someone hates mutants, they will not hesitate
to use the Sentinels against them.

REVIEW:
Sentinels were
no doubt badasses throughout the X-men series, and the Sentinel who
represents them in Marvel VS Capcom 2 is certainly one mean mo-fo... So many keep-away
moves and projectiles! What a cheap ass and slightly overpowered character, but
none the less, a badass robot doing what it does best... Destruction!!!
Also worth mentioning, for a robot, Sentinels have a significant amount of
personality.
Still to this day, I find it quite strange that several animations from
Sentinel's debut (in X-men:COTA) didn't make it to Marvel VS Capcom 2.
It's not like they looked outdated and were taken out... Actually,
Sentinel's original stance animation & intro (below) looked rather awesome,
but no, you won't see those animations in Marvel VS Capcom 2 for some
strange reason. So did those animations really take up too much space to put in
the game, Capcom? :/
