Talk:Sentinels/@comment-35777405-20180604174909

Currently have a discussion on the forums but maybe here is a good place too. Originally I was thinking and realized Helios is the only corpus gear in the game with a prime. I understand all Tenno gear lorewise comes from Orokin tech - but with Helios as the ONLY exception, DE primes only Tenno gear. This left me wondering then - how in the fk does Helios have a prime? Lockjaw and Sol's codex seems to imply that Helios is an Alad V invention.

Then if we think of the Sentinel fragment on this page, it states the Tenno discovered them - it doesn't say or even come close to implying the Orokin made them. So what the hell is going on here? Has DE created a bit of a lore blunder? There is ways to explain your way out of it - but they're not concrete in lore. For example we could still pretend the Tenno discovering them, and then the Orokin reproducing them - but that would mean Prime Sentinels are in fact not the first of their kind, and there was Sentinels before them.

Another interesting thing of note is that both Carrier P. and Wyrm P. reference the Orokin in their decriptions - the only Primed Sentinel that doesn't happens to be Helios, the Corpus Sentinel.

I mean what the hell is going on here. I'm extremely confused. I like to work within what the lore says - and currently the lore is doing all kinds of contradicting itself. I don't think Helios prime should exist.

We can sit here all day and say the Corpus and the Grineer reverse engineered Orokin tech - but that's factually incorrect since the lore clearly states they're a discovery, not something the Orokin created. The Orokin mass produced them, sure - but what are the original Sentinels? Is Helios really an Orokin era Sentinel - or is it Alad V's creation? They've created some confusion for me.
