We mentioned Kurt's guest-appearance in a recent issue of She-Hulk last time, where he hires Jen and her firm, under retainer, for Krakoa and their oh-so-many legal problems. Cyclops having trouble renewing his driver's license is mentioned, which would require legal help but is relatively minor; which makes me suspect Kurt was downplaying it. The mutants had parleyed their Krakoan drugs into piles of cash, so they've got the green to get...the green, in this case; but I think you could get an entire book of Jen having to deal with their docket. (Probably a mini, rather than derailing her own book!)
In Marvel time, how long have the Sentinels been around? Ten years, maybe? I don't think they've been retconned to appear earlier than the original five X-Men. I'm just wondering about the relative level of technology.

I guess for organizations like the NRA if you live long enough to become a villain you more than likely will, ESPECIALLY when you have enough money to successfully lobby congress to vote in your favor when it comes to certain legislation. I'd like to give Heston the benefit of a doubt that he was only so pro-gun because he was briefly the head of the NRA & being an actor, got too immersed into the part he was playing , as he probably felt he was presenting the NRA of old rather what it had become. Or he was just paid well to do a job to promote guns using his name, who knows.
Depends on the sliding timescale doesn't it? 10-15 at least. I'm sure just like technology for cell phones, computers, etc evolve ever so quickly, Sentinel technology does as well, at least when it comes to their processing & computing tech. I'm sure the basic designs are kept but continually built upon, and used by whoever's 3D printing these homebrewed sentinels.
Kurt and Jen are right though, it's going to take a certain understanding of certain tech to program & guide the sentinels, not any person off the street would be able to do that. Now I'm sure you can dumb it down & make it as easy as possible (sentinel building for dummies) but even then you'd still need a basic knowledge of computer coding & such to for the software.
Should be interesting to see who's behind all this figure-wise.
I seem to remember there being a steampunk ancestor of the Sentinels showing up somewhere but that may have been a What-If or something similar. The technology for baseline units probably isn't terribly complicated or complicated to get, though. The Marvel Universe has always been a couple steps ahead with tech-savvy and besides, Reed Richards alone throws out more complicated circuitry every day.
