X-Men '97: Prime Sentinels, Explained
The excellent animated series just introduced the latest update of its killer robots, and the Prime Sentinels may be the most threatening batch yet.
The Sentinels fill several fascinating roles in the X-Men franchise. They often appear as meaningless henchmen, no different from the Foot clan in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the Putty Patrollers in Power Rangers. Other X-Men stories depict the Sentinels as an apocalyptic nightmare that will inevitably end mutantkind. There's always a new Sentinel model that will escalate the threat beyond any the X-Men have previously faced. The newest upgrade in X-Men '97 is called the Prime Sentinel.
