Omega Sentinel, the original guardian who became a symbol of tyranny. Omega Sentinel: Guardian or oppressor?
Originally, Omega Sentinel was designed to maintain order on Cybertron, tasked with ensuring stability and security. But over time, its rigid vision of justice shifted towards oppressive authority, where surveillance replaced freedom.
In contrast to the Autobots ' philosophy, which is based on free will, Omega Sentinel favors a strict hierarchical system, where any disobedience is perceived as a direct threat to the balance.
This ideological drift makes him a tragic figure: created to protect, he becomes an instrument of domination, illustrating the excesses of absolute power.
A cold authority with a massive and intimidating design. Form & abilities: the living fortress
Omega Sentinel is not distinguished by speed, but by its formidable defensive and offensive power. A true Cybertronian colossus, it imposes its presence through force and fear.
The strengths of Omega Sentinel
- Titanic strength – capable of crushing the most powerful adversaries.
