The Sentinels

In 1987, the Japanese modeling magazine Model Graphix started a novel called 'Gundam Sentinel: Alice Confession'. The series ran from 1987 till August 1988. Gundam Sentinel became a cult hit due to the super-detailed mechanical designs of the series and the intricate story by Masaya Takahashi. Gundam Sentinel features more realistic aspects where MS were seen more as fighter jets or military weapons, rather than as cartoonish robots.

It was also the beginning of the GREAT Hajime Katoki (kowtow to him!!). Hajime Katoki's works include the MSIB display sets (Deep Striker!!!!) and some ver.Ka kits (MG Ball ver.Ka and MG Wing Gundam Custom Ver.Ka).

Some of the Gundams in the Sentinel series include:
