HistoryEdit
Anti-mutant bigot Bolivar Trask designed the "Mark I" Sentinels to protect humanity from the "mutant threat". Unfortunately, Trask and his employees were not masters of their robots: They created the Sentinels with an artificial intelligence they could not control. The Sentinels quickly reasoned that the best way to protect humans from mutants was to control the human society, instead of allowing the "imperfect" humans to do so (because humans were, upon them, physically and intellectually inferior to the Sentinels themselves). Clearly, humans allowed mutants to roam between them, which was a mistake.
Added by SquirrelloidWhen Trask was trying to order a Sentinel on a public TV discussion with Professor Xavier, the Sentinel instead attacked and kidnapped Trask, taking him to the HQ Trask himself had built, but one of the Sentinels left at the studio inexplicably collapsed. The Sentinels also kidnapped a mutant, Beast from the X-Men; the rest of the X-Men followed the Setinels to their base, but were captured as well.
In the meantime, Xavier found out that a huge crystal mounted in a tower nearby had jammed the Sentinel's power unit, putting it out of commission. With his then-existing government contacts, Xavier had the crystal transported to the Sentinel base, where it disabled all minor units. The X-Men had also managed to fight free as well, and they raced to confront Trask.
Inside the base, however, the main sentinel, Master Mold, tried to force Trask to create an army of Sentinels with which they would conquer mankind. Trask had used a psycho-probe on Beast and discovered that not all the superhuman mutants would inevitably use their powers against humanity. Understanding that he had been wrong, he eventually sacrificed his own life by destroying the Sentinel-creating apparatus, destroying Master Mold and most of the Sentinels in a great explosion; the X-Men barely managed to escape the bases' destruction.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit

- Mutant Detection: The Sentinels constantly scanned all the living beings in the immediate surrounding area and were able to determine if they were humans or mutants.
