Purchasing Sentry X-58 will permanently unlock this character in Awesomenauts. The character can also be purchased with Awesomepoints in-game.
Sentry X-58 is a complex tank that can teleport across the map and shields himself from damage. Absorbed damage is returned to enemies by means of a damaging black hole. He comes equipped with the following abilities:
- Deploy a beacon to which you can teleport back, unleashing a damaging pulse at arrival.
- Charge a damage-collecting black hole that can be placed after charging, pulling enemies toward it and dealing the collected damage.
- Wield a high powered photon mine launcher!
Deep in the bowels of the derelict Starstorm station, an army of killer robots remain deactivated in storage containers, withering away to rust. The remaining functional robots futilely await the moment they are called back into action by masters who are now long dead. Centuries pass without any activity aboard the drifting colossal station. Not until the station’s backup systems flare back to life, providing enough energy to reactivate some of the still operational robots. One of these is known as Sentry.
Sentry is a special infiltration and reconnaissance unit whose prime directive “If you can’t beat ‘m, join ‘m, and then beat ‘m anyway cause they won’t expect it” has served his kind in many a war. Being clearly built for stealth, fooling enemy troops by mimicking anything from an umbrella to a designer coffee table, he is the first to be sent onto the battlefield to gather intel. After emerging from his stasis and discovering an enemy mercenary ship that has landed on the Starstorm, he snuck himself aboard, disguised as an inconspicuous Phone Booth.
After overhearing the crew that the robots lost the AI war and that his comrades have been turned into kitchen and household appliances, he reprogrammed himself for vengeance and planned to destroy them all! He now works, undercover, for the Awesomenauts until he has gathered enough Solar to buy a very serious tank, one with a shark printed on the front!
