And that's great. I love Sentinel prime. He's not my favourite, but only because I love guys like Lugnut so much more.
I don't know who it was, but props to the guy who said that said V Bulkhead was a good toy. I like that dude a lot, but he gets almost no love.

I can't call him the weakest compared to Lockdown or V Megatron, but as far as the stability in jet mode is concerned, it's either yours or mine. Mine is a nice and tight fit, but then again I have some figs that are looser in some areas.
Still, I'm not "ZOMG BILTZWIGN R GAWD", but he's not as bad as you make him out.

EDIT: One more downside I just thought of while repositioning Blitzwing on the shelf....he has no threatening/battle poses. I put my TFs in a battle stance on the shelves and it doesn't seem to matter what I do he just can't pull it off.

I kinda agree. I can get him into some great firing/attacking stances, but he would seriously benefit from having fists for those poses.
I surprised you didn't mention those thighs. That's the main gripe I have with him. SS did it right, he has a hinge in the center so they bend for vehicle mode but are nice and straight for robot mode. (though you can cheat and hide them in some poses)

Again, how too short? He's taller than your average deluxe. I'm not saying I would be against a Voyager Cyb Mode Sentinel, but this "too short" argument makes not sense to me. (I mean, he looks stocky with the thicker legs, but it doesn't make him short) He's as tall as Jazz. I would prefer translucent blue weapons myself, too, but only to match other clear weapons like Prime's axe and BB's stingers.
