Rock 'em sock 'em robots

Half the fun of drawing the sentinels was getting to draw sketches of cool weapons and figure out how their mechanical skeletons could potentially work. I remember spending hours when I was younger filling sketchbooks full of cool gadget ideas. I desperately wanted to be an engineer (then I realised I hated maths).

All I have to say is: Retractable arm canon. Rotating arsenal of three different weapons - Plasma bolts, stun cable and incapacitating foam. (I realise they probably wouldn't need a laser sight as their robots and could probably target better than a human).

The sentinels are described in the book as:

"The sentinels were eerie looking bots. Each the height of Maester Arms and equally broad. Their onyxian frames were humanec but entirely devoid of features; just sleek metal bodies with eyeless orbs atop their shoulders. Their only defining feature was a golden symbol at the centre of their chest. Gemmy recognised it instantly as the ‘all knowing eye’ of Black Star Labs."

Anywho, here's how the sentinels measure up against humans:


Enjoy!
