I hadn't thought of it that way. I suppose I'm not used to Sentinel having depth. <_< Honestly, I think Optimus is right where he needs to be, because he's got a good team that works well when given a basic strategy but also does well when he's not there. The one time he tried to be an authoritarian leader he flubbed it horribly, and I think he wouldn't do well leading an actual trained group into pitched battle against the Decepticons on a regular basis or leading anything larger.
