KSI Sentry

KSI Sentries are a subspecies of Cybertronians from the planet Earth.

Anatomy
KSI Sentries share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, except they transform into differently colored Chevrolet Traxes.

Powers and abilities
KSI Sentries share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Similar to other KSI Cybertronians, Sentries possess "hypno-transformation", in which they explode into a cloud of living metal particles and reform into either their robot or alternate modes.

Culture and society
Manufatured by Kinetic Solutions Incorporated, KSI Sentries were originally designed as combat drones programmed to defend Humans from invading Cybertronians. However, when Galvatron took control of KSI's prototypes, they were reprogrammed into Decepticons.

As a result of Galvatron removing KSI's original programming, the Sentries would develop their own personalities over time.

History
After the Decepticon invasion of Chicago in 2013, Kinetic Solutions Incorporated began reverse engineering Cybertronian corpses in an attempt to exploit the reconfigurable properties of their living metal and create man-made Cybertronians for military use. Over the next five years, the company built as many as fifty remote-control Cybertronian drones including an assortment of KSI Sentries.

When Megatron possessed KSI's prized prototype Galvatron in 2018, he reprogrammed the KSI Sentries into Decepticons to help him liberate a protomatter Seed. Arriving in Hong Kong, one such Sentry shot down the Knights' Temenos when the Autobots attempted to retrieve the Seed from KSI CEO Joshua Joyce.

During the climactic battle in Hong Kong, many Sentries were killed by either Bumblebee or Hound as they defended the humans. When Optimus Prime entered the battle alongside the Dinobots, more Sentries killed by the charging Grimlock, Slug, and Scorn. Shortly after Lockdown was killed by Optimus, several more Sentries were caught in the blast radius of one of Lockdown's grenade.

In the years that followed the battle of Hong Kong, many surviving KSI Decepticons were left to their own devices in Megatron's absence. Several of these Sentries sought to embrace their freedom by allying with the Autobots, albeit without directly defecting to them. Many were either killed or captured in skirmishes with the Transformers Reaction Force while others relocated to friendly countries such as Cuba.
