For Not-An-Asshole Sentinel it was along the lines of him having a REALLY BAD DAY featuring; accidentally getting all of his bosses killed in that surprise Quintesson ambush, the High Guard assuming he did that shit on purpose, getting extorted by the Quintessons, the Matrix disintegrating in his hands. Whoo boy
He gets his ass back to Iacon like MAYDAY MAYDAY and everyone's like Oh Hey Sentinel, just so you know these newly forged bots came out without transformation cogs. Also, the energon's not flowing anymore. You know anything about that?
Also where are the Primes?
Sentinel does NOT want mass panic right now. How can he course correct???
Lying time! The High Guard are like right behind him trying to kill him for supposedly killing the Primes, and now he's got all this garbage on his plate, so he just starts lying. Similar story to the actual movie as to what he says, gets the High Guard off his ass for a bit.
Idk about Airachnid exactly, but I thought it would be funny if she was just intimidating by default and freaks everyone out with her autistic rizz. Sentinel is like "Oh Airachnid we're really in it now" like that scene from The Good Place all the time. They're buddies lol
Darkwing is just an asshole for the love of the game
Dunno if this version of Sentinel would be willing to take out Megatronus' t-cog tho
I mean, in this scenario, Sentinel probably wouldn't take out Megatronus's t-cog here? (At least not at the point when he did or for the reason he did but later on)
Sentinel and Airachnid's dynamic here sounds so cool
In general the dynamics change in interesting directions here
