The blueprint for the Sentinels in "X-men: Days of Future Past" has been revealed.
The gray-colored image was showcased on the X-Men Twitter page and is the latest in a viral campaign to pump up the anticipation for the upcoming film.
At the bottom of the picture is the logo of Trask Industries, a company in the story's fictional universe that specializes in genetic technology and hopes to improve the human race.
"As the world's leading full-spectrum genetic security and containment company, Trask Industries continues to uncover new ways to control the mounting X-gene threat. We are proud to bring decades of experience, along with 118,000 innovative minds as we continue to secure human freedoms in every nation on Earth. Our goal is to solve tomorrow's problems, today," says a statement on the website created for Trask Industries as part of the viral campaign for the film.
The Sentinels are the main villains in the new film, which is slated to showcase two generations of X-Men in two differing time periods. Regarding the Sentinels, the website says, "In 1973, Trask Industries introduced the first Sentinel production model, the Mark I. Bolivar Trask's groundbreaking research in AI, robotics and autonomous ballistic systems laid the foundation for the world's most capable anti-mutant defense system. Since the program's inception, we've continued to advance our founder's cause through eight additional generational upgrades and enhancements."
The main aim of Trask Industries is to eliminate the X-gene which causes the power-creating mutations in the X-Men Universe.
"For the past 50 years, Trask Industries has been tracking, studying and systematically eradicating the X-Gene worldwide. Due to the nature of its replication, the X-Gene may have been present in well over 50% of the world's population by this point, if not for the intervention of Trask Industries," says another section of the website. "As our environment has shifted, following the exponentially increasing trend of chemicalization and radiation of the human population, the X-Gene still represents a major threat to human progress. If propagated without limit, mutation may result in the eradication of the homo sapien species by 2030."
The film, which is directed by Bryan Singer, is slated for release on May 23, 2014.
