I think the Sentients are less of a construct and more of an infection, considering that we've seen what the lotus turned into and the half-sentient ballas doesn't act like a sentient. Since the Sentients were originally terraforming machines with high resistance to damage, they couldn't have originally had weapons and the ability to mimic. I think the terraforming mission came in contact with beings that merged with the infection, becoming one and having one goal: revenge against their creators.
