| I remember seeing a piece of fan art depicting a sentinel from Onyx that the artist based of the text. I know fan art isn't canon in any real sense on most series, but there is precedent on Halopedia to use one. On the Harvest related articles there is a fan art of a cruiser in orbit over Harvest. Is there a way to incorporate this image into the Sentinel article? The only reason I don't post it here is I don't recall where I found the image; I believe it was first posted on the Bungie.net forums. -[[User:Lord Hyren|Lord Hyren]] 18:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC) | | I remember seeing a piece of fan art depicting a sentinel from Onyx that the artist based of the text.

| With the recent edit to this page regarding Sentinels as allies, I guess I'd bring this up: With the exception of the ones on Onyx, sentinels seem to already be humanity-friendly, as the only times in the games you are attacked by them are when you are an elite and when 343GS tells em' to kill you. Yes, that's almost every time you see them, but still. Yeah, we don't have Marines on any levels with sentinel enemies to prove/disprove this... Unless maybe you pulled something fancy on "Sacred Icon."

| :'''UPDATE''': I just added a render of the Aggressor Sentinel from ''Halo 3'', though I would appreciate it if you made sure that the old introductory image is placed within the Gallery section of the article. I worked hard on that, and I want others to still be able to enjoy it. Though I personally see nothing wrong with the current intro image. Sure, it made be from ''Halo Wars'', it may be kinda "dated" chronologically speaking, but there is nothing wrong the graphics. Before you change it, might I suggest you let others have a say in this execution? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 22:54, 19 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

| ==''Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary'' & ''Halo 3'' Sentinel Images==
| |
| | |
| Could someone get a really nice transparent cutout image of the a Sentinel both from ''Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary'' (once it comes out) and ''Halo 3''? My transparent overview scanned image is from ''Halo 3'', but I know it's not the best quality, considering it's only a scan of a ''Halo 3'' Sentinel. And I imagine my transparent cutout image of the Halo Wars Sentinel won't hold for long, I mean it may not be completely satisfactory for long. So if someone could get on that, that would be nice. I'll try to get on it myself, at least for the ''Halo 3'' Sentinel. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 16:35, 28 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

It's a full fledged, independent mode. So sorry, but I guess we're gonna have to stick with the current one. Vegerot goes RAWR!

| ==Moving the Content==
| |
| From the EVG, on page 167, the Sentinel page:
| |
| | |
| ''"The term 'Sentinel' refers to a broad set of machines that are generally used in the construction, maintenance, and protection of Forerunner installations [...]"''
| |
| | |
| Then:
| |
| | |
| ''"Designed in a variety of shapes and sies to fit their many functions [...] '''Aggressors''' are the most common Sentinel form, usually operating as a direct extension of the Monitor's will."''
| |
| | |
| It seems that the specific form of Sentinel on this article is referring to the "Aggressor". I think we should move most of the content of this page to a page called "Aggressor" and make this article a summary of all of the Sentinels. A relationship similar to [[SPARTAN Program]] and the other Spartan pages ([[ORION Project]], [[SPARTAN-II Program]] and [[SPARTAN-III Program]]). —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>([[User talk:Spartan331|Tank beats]] [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|Everything!]])</sub> 11:56, 9 October 2011 (EDT)

| ==Sentinel Aggressors in Halo 4?==

| ==Adding a Changes Section==
| |
| | |
| Shouldn't there be a changes section saying of how they changed in design from game to game? I mean, we have a changes section in nearly every other article on any weapon, vehicle or miscellaneous object that has been seen in more than one game. So, in light of this, should we not add something just like that? I'd do it right now if I could and if I had enough time, but unfortunately I'm kinda busy juggling homework and tech crew responsibilities. I'll add what I can with the time that I have (which isn't much at all), but if someone could also get to work on this, I think the article would look a whole lot better. Just a friendly suggestion. :-) --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 16:24, 25 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

| ==Aggressor Sentinel according to H4TEVG==
| |
| | |
| On page 133 of the ''Halo 4: Essential Visual Guide'', the Aggressor Sentinel is referred to as the "'''Z-1500 Automated Systems Drone'''". This should be documented in the article. Another thing of note is that Aggressor Sentinels are able to fly using an exotic type of impulse drive, and are also able to tap into their installation's translocation grid. Further information as follows: Length is 9.6 feet (2.9 meters), width is 6.3 feet (1.9 meters), and height is 5 feet (1.5 meters). All this should be put into the article. I'll try to get around to it myself when I have some time to spare (have to go for my run, take my shower and get my hair cut, not necessarily in that order), or unless someone else here decides to beat me to it. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 13:13, 17 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| ==Gold Aggressor Sentinel "Majors"==
| |
| | |
| I thought that it should be noted that, despite a difference of opinions of canonicity, the ''Halo Encyclopedia'' (both the older and revised editions) refer to the gold-plated Aggressor Sentinel as a Sentinel Major. While I'm aware that much or some of the ''Halo Encyclopedia'''s content came from Halopedia (I find that amusing, and maybe a little bit ironic), I'm wondering if we should consider the title canon in light of this. If so, and we are all (or most) of us in agreement, then it should be added. No need for a separate article, it can be added as an entirely new subsection to the article. It has only one single appearance anyway, and not a lot of information either to warrant a separate article. So, does anyone else have anything to say on this? Thoughts, observations, or objections? --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 12:44, 3 February 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330

| :For what it's worth, it's a Sentinel Major or Sentinel Minor in the same way as you have Elite Major, Elite Minor, Jackal Major, Jackal Minor, Grunt Major, Grunt Minor. They are more file categories in the game files than what is outwardly apparent in the lore. An Elite Major is a veteran or in game terms is harder to kill and smarter than a Minor.
