I've never read the first appearance of the sentinels and I was wondering what the mk.1 sentinels were like. How did they differ from current sentinels? How big were they? Basically, I'm looking for a copy of 'everything you ever wanted to know about the sentinel mk.I' or 'sentinel mk.I for dummies'. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Wikipedia has a pretty good entry about the Sentinels. It doen't look like they have all their specs though.

Is this enough for you?

Yeah, it's pretty good. I've already looked at most of that stuff (whatever I could dig up online). Someone told me once that they weren't giant (like the modern sentinels), but that they were about man-sized. I noticed the specs on the wiki stuff says they were, like, 20 ft. tall. Is that right? If so, do you guys think 20 feet is tall enough to earn the symbol?

If I saw a guy or robot that was 20 feet tall, I'd call it a giant!

Yeah, me too. Were they 20 ft. tall, tho? I've seen the cover of their first appearance and they didn't look 20 ft. tall. Then again covers can be decieving.

Wiki says they were roughly 3 stories tall.

The original ones were about ....three maybe five feet taller tahn their inventor...sorry I'm bad at estimating length but They're about as tall as a HIGH fence..but not enough to loom over a building

Thanks, Troma. I take it you've actually read the 1st appearance. Exactly the feedback I was looking for. I wouldn't call that tall enough for the .

Unless you're using WK convoluted logic...you knkow like with Ace?

or Iron?

IDiots. I mean they wouldn't give Blockbuster a giant symbol...actually that's about the right height:
Bat Sentry or Blockbuster size

They were 9 feet tall I'd estimate. They come in numbers, moreso than the current versions, and they were quite easy to dispatch.
