Wow...I just tried to do a rough calculation of the 13 primes and the disk/ Sential Prime, and assuming I'm not way off and didn't double something up, knowing the actual prices vary depending, too...
That little disk fully loaded is a $710 item.

I am not buying another ******* Tarn mold, retooled or otherwise.
And the disk is doing nothing for me, and since I can't complete it as I lack 4 of the Primes (Micronus doesn't seem worth 2024 prices let alone 2026 prices. Onyx is just a pile of brown I'm afraid won't age well, yet to find Nexus, and first-draft Hyperdrive is a titan) and wasn't too keen on those of who I do have (Like Liege and Fallen, HATED Anus-plus)

I bought 2 of the primes then stopped. I do still want Star Optimus though. They haven’t been doing it for me.
I'm fine with everything in the package (the disc is a little disappointing but not unexpected. I was thinking more of a rack but close enough.) but the price is just bonkers. If I had Titan's Returns Sentinal Prime I'd just skip this and not think twice, but I do want a Sentinel for the collection and I don't mind having the disc as an option, so I might have to bite the bullet. Bleh.
You know, with the marketing for this line saying that the Well of All Sparks was first created when the Thirteen combined all of their artifacts together, I got thinking that maybe Sentinel's accessory that would bring all 13 of the artifacts together might be some sort of Well mini-playset, or something that would allow the artifacts to (somehow) combine to form (an approximation of) the Well.
This circular display stand, however, is none of that.

lol Sentinel is a Gustav.
I knew going in that the combination wouldn’t be something particularly complex or functional I dunno, i guess I was hoping for aesthetic? . Stuff like having Onyx’s spear needing to be disassembled or some artifacts intruding on the other Primes’ designated areas really makes it seem all the more haphazard

Maybe that's the Well of All Sparks manhole cover, unlocked using all the artifacts of the 13 when the multiverse flushes something it shouldn't and clogs it up. You have to get Mario down there SOMEHOW...
I'm surprised at how much I like that Sentinel, although it's not THAT much. Never minded the Tarn mold, and they did a lot of new things with it. Not a fan of this altmode though, and he needs to be beefier and more beweaponed. Content to keep using the TR one, which has kind of stuck in my mind as his "look" anyway.
The Conduit makes sense, although in my head I figured it'd be a rack of sorts too. Maybe a multijointed one that could be reconfigured into a halo, which could then mount on a a papercraft something like the Throne. As it is, this "Sentinel Artifact pack" is really just Sentinel with a holey accessory.
I'm halfway intrigued by the 3-pack, mostly to get Bluestreak with opaque plastic and a non-busted up Ironhide (the dying version is a good stand-in because the face passes as just angry, but there's no un-blasted-upping that altmode). Mirage I can take or leave, as the Kingdom one is fine (I repainted the toy-style head on the holo and put it on that, and found a 3P toon-style holo head for Holo Mirage). I'd love for them to keep redoing these without clear plastic, especially as they rely on it so damn much.

That's what it's called?
I'm only vaguely recalling that from one of the leaks. But I've also been very low on sleep the past few days as I'm crawling toward a couple of deadlines, so it might be the Mu Shu Pork or whatever.
Wait, it's Tarn? so in this universe instead of Infinitus it's Glitch trying to be a somebody again! figures....
If Sentinel had the full Apex Armor rig he had in Megatron Origin, I might be interested, but as is, I'm not seeing enough value for the price tag. A disk for displaying parts from a bunch of other toys, several of which I have no interest in buying, doesn't do it for me.
He's doing the 6 7 
Or he's just Italian.
I figured it was just Sentinel being his usual jerk self and trying to steal all the Primes' powers, but I could see him just trying to be a meme instead.
Actually, not sure which is the bigger jerk move, now that I think about it.
