Ratchet's teachings are shown to have born fruit, in that despite his low intelligence, he ends up being much more aware of the immense hypocrisy of his actions, destroying like the very enemy he fought against.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Believe it or not, Sentinel is strongly implied to have ''once'' been this. In the flashback regarding himself, Elita-1 and Optimus' collective past, he's certainly pompous and egotistical, but he's overall ''much'' friendlier and more willing to stand between danger and his friends for their sake. However, the tragedy of that planet has very negatively affected [[{{Foil}} him in parallel to Optimus, with him choosing to pin all the blame on his former friend to avoid acknowledging his own part in the tragedy, while Optimus took the opposite route of entirely blaming himself.]] Most of his current state can be seen as one giant trauma response to that day, spiralling further down into an uptight jerk who tears others down to shield himself.

* ButtMonkey: Much like his ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' counterpart, although in this series, it's not played for laughs. He ended up getting framed for being a Decepticon spy, going to jail for 50+ years, and went ''insane''. And then he is tricked into becoming a techno-organic monstrosity by Blackarachnia and explodes into pieces on what may or may not be a version of the prehistoric Earth from ''Beast Wars''. Like his predecessor, he lives through the dismemberment, but the scene of him trying to pull himself back together is terrifying rather than comedic.

His quirky speech patern is the result of going insane at the hands of the stockade run by the ''Autobots'' and seeing him blown up to pieces is rather horrifying than funny.

* HateSink: While he's ultimately innocent of the crimes he was framed for and did seem to be friends with Ironhide, he was also a smarmy jerk who liked to flaunt his superiority over everybody else. Shockwave seemed to use this unpleasant personality to his advantage, given how he readily frames Wasp when Bumblebee accidentally presents him the opportunity.

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: When first introduced, he initially just appears to be a CanonForeigner who's an Autobot {{Expy}} of Waspinator, but by the end of his introduction episode he takes on speech patterns and develops design elements that reveal that he's actually this series' incarnation of the unfortunate bug-bot.
