After [[Spike Witwicky]] along with [[Carly]] arrived on Cybertron and managed to escape [[Shockwave]], the guardian of Cybertron dispatched a Sentinel to deal with the [[Human]]s. The Sentinel would locate the pair along with the [[Dinobot]] [[Swoop]] and stunned the [[Transformer]] taking them to the [[Cybertonium Pit]]. After a fight broke out between [[Grimlock]] and Spike within the Pit, the Sentinel requested instructions from Shockwave on what to do and was told to remove the Humans. After lowering the energy, the Dinobots attacked and the Sentinel was melted by [[Slag]]'s fiery attack. {{Storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2|DotD2}}
 
   
The next point the Sentinels were encountered was when Shockwave deployed them in military manevuers and used holograms for target practice. A sizeable army of Sentinels were present when an asteroid arrived which carried the banished [[Combaticon]]s. The Sentinels were forced to defend Cybertron from this threat which combined into [[Bruticus]]. The Sentinels were decimated with many destroyed and others confined within the detention area until freed by a [[Megatron]]'s Decepticons who were briefly allied with [[Optimus Prime]] and the [[Autobot]]s who worked together to defeat the giant Bruticus. {{Storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus|TRoB}}

Revision as of 12:06, 12 October 2007

Nelson Yomtov is the colorist of every single issue of the original Marvel US Transformers comic book.

He was also a colorist for Fantastic Four.

Discerning readers can find numerous instances of coloring errors among Yomtov's pages, as well as, perhaps, an over-use of the technique of coloring panel backgrounds (including background characters) uniformly. Yomtov has been quoted as saying that it was quite a challenge to keep up with all the new characters that were constantly being introduced at Hasbro's insistance.

The most notable such error, assuming it was not intentional, was his recoloring Emirate Xaaron to be entirely yellow, as opposed to the gold/silver/black colors he was given in UK comics. Upon appearing for the first time in a Marvel US issue, Xaaron kept this all-yellow scheme throughout the remainder of the series.
