The Sentinels are are always fun to see, but I have to admit the do seem to be pretty impractical. I mean, I can see the use for mutant hunting robots if that's your thing, but I never really understood why they were built to be so giant. If they are trying to capture mutants, that's hardly a stealthy design - I imagine they are pretty easy to see coming.

Intimidation.
Rotate different weapons for the various mutants to be conquered. The scientists will have thought of "everything" for the battles to be won. Miniaturization can't be used for everything.
Cgl66 is right. It's similar to the reason teenagers are stereotyped for being rebellious. The loss of intimidating size difference! After all; why look up to their parents when they no longer have to look up at them?
That, in turn, is why the adventures of shrunken superheroes and giant villainesses are so popular among college-age comic book fans. Overcoming that inherent feeling of intimidation.
Even if only vi-Cary-ously. ;-)
In Fred Hembeck Destroys the Marvel Universe, he introduced Ninja Sentinels. Wouldn't mind seeing them made canon lol
I'm with cgl66 and Cary -- intimidation is a big factor in using the gigantic robots. They also, as Tobor mentioned, a good way to carry around the Really Big Guns, for dealing with large groups of mutants or individuals who are especially powerful.
@Cary: #BadPunNoCookie
@Mike: Now you've gone and gotten me to imagining Ninja Sentinels fighting the Giant Ninja Snowman from the Eureka episode "Do You See What I See?" (which I mentioned the other day, and have watched 3 times so far this season).
Hey hey hey, maybe in another retcon could have Superboy join the Doom Patrol like Beast Boy. Hank could replace the Chief who was killed by himself. Superboy lost his secret id and got saved by them. Take it away Ross.
@Bob Greenwade: Lol! Ibeg2differ. ;-D
I got the cure for Sentinels: Download Windows 3.1 into them.
Oh wait, that gives me a crossover idea--the Sentinels vs. Captain James T. Kirk, who is notorious for talking AIs to death. ^_^
Or the X-Men and Doctor Who--the Sentinels get Dalek programming and go after normal humans as well.
wood the sentenals help save earth from attacking space robots if the sentenals haven't been programmed to go after the space robots?
Kid C's comment about AIs and then Doctor Who brings me to something that's been in the corner of my mind for a while: the Doctor and Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) in an adventure where the Great Intelligence is trying to take over the Supreme Intelligence.
@KC: Adobe would be better. Because that computer program lives up to its name. It's slower than sun-baked mud!
From Beast Boy (Changeling) to the Beast, McCoy would fit right in. A scientist, like Caulder. And trapped in a non-human form, like others in the DP
Speaking of Dr. McCoy, swap furry blue Hank in the crew of the USS Enterprise. "Dammit, Jim, I'm a DOCTOR, not a beast!" lol
