Sentinels are designed to hunt down mutants, especially the X-Men, and so typically function as supervillains or as the tools of other villains.

This comic series notably diverges from the events previously described in the McKinney novels with a new account of the discovery and adaptation of the SDF-1 (Gloval is introduced as a Russian submarine captain), Robotechnology, and a redesigned version of Lt. Col.
