This particular version is more of an incapacitate and/or destroy model. It does not have the capture ability that the Original and Advanced Sentinal did. I can't remember off the top of my head if any of the ones from Giant Sized X-Men had the ability, but I don't thing they did either. On the bright side, it makes those old ones still useful. Even more so when you back them up with a couple of these newer models for some firepower.
it just seems odd that DoFP is so sentinel heavy yet no one has capture as an inherent ability. Sentinel Alpha 3 can give it to the other smaller sentinels, but that's it. Capture is a very useful and very annoying ability and it seems that NECA is moving away from it.
Is it just me or was this Scenario pack missing...scenarios? I remember the Fear Itself pack had them on paper but this didnt come with anything like that.
I hummed and hawed for about a year before I picked this up last weekend. Quite surprised at the 'exchangeable robot body parts', the intuitive dial design and the switch clix mechanic. (actually, the pogs are pretty useful, too). this scenario pack solidifies my belief that the DoFP gravity feed was the best Gravity Feed ever, and could've been played as it's own game (equal distribution of heroes and villains, etc).
Do you like DC comics from the 1980s? So do I. Check out: www.dcinthe80s.com.
The only complaint that I really had about the pack was that this "Scenario pack" doesn't actually come with any scenarios. Sure it is easy enough to make up your own, but it seems silly and kind of lazy that they didn't include any.
This guy is a total killing machine, no need for the capture ability. Just his mere presence on the board makes your opponent confused and scared to move very far.
Tested him against Hulk 008. No resources/funny business, just 1v1. If Sentinel lands on multi attack at the right times it wins fairly easily/quickly. If not, the game dragged out with Hulk winning the war of attrition via his ridiculous heals :(
This guy is a beast though! Helmet of Fate for 9 range, 3 target mind control? Reminds me of Starro. I don't have any of his sentinel 001 spawns though. How important are they to this guy? The minions kinda just look like a tie up piece
I was planning on getting a Cap America Sentinel because I thought the interchangeable parts were cool, until I realized that's just a paintjob on this one, and this one also has a damaged torso to change. Plus the classic coloring. I'm gonna need one!
