Using her status as a fugitive to blackmail her into service, Xavier recruited Mystique as a secret agent, intending to use her in operations too politically sensitive for his high-profile X-Men. Learning of the recent Cuban acquisition, Professor Xavier set upon an indirect solution. While to date the government of Cuba had not yet had any problems with its mutant population, it recognized that it was burgeoning and questioned their threat to national security. In the years that followed, a freelance arms dealer named Steinbeck was able to take advantage of the poor state of the Russian economy and purchased the two remaining Sentinels from a rogue general and then resold them to a general in Cuba. While they agreed and mostly complied, a few units were merely decommissioned, on the off-chance that the Cold War with the United States ever began again. While a group of Sentinels were indeed constructed, after the fall of the Soviet Union Professor Xavier managed to convince the emerging Russian government to destroy the robots. Charged with the daunting task of beginning a Sentinel program from scratch, the Soviet government might have actually turned to the Japanese for technical support, influencing the final design. While still towering in height, these Soviet units looked almost Japanese in appearance. However, while the idea behind this mirrored that of the Americans, these models seemed completely different in appearance and operation to those of Bolivar Trask and the designers who followed. After noting a sharp increase in the number of mutant births across their nation, a phenomenon which officials blamed on the nuclear accident in Chernobyl, the government of the Soviet Union embarked upon their own Sentinel program. Not unsurprisingly, some have looked to emulate some of the solutions of the Americans. While the numerical population of mutants in the world as always curiously seem to have been concentrated in the United States, other countries have still worried about the growing number of mutants within their own borders. When Charles Xavier scanned Apocalypse's mind, he saw a future where more Sentinels were led by a strange upgraded Sentinel.Models of original design replicating size, armor and flight of American counterparts presumably designed with similar comparable capabilities as well, though to an unknown degree However, the ancient mutant proved too much and turned the robots against their controllers. They upgraded them and sent them against Apocalypse in Egypt. Before the remains of the prototype crashed on him, Quicksilver saved his father. Scarlet Witch countered Magneto's powers so he could not defend himself. Nearby media recorded the battle between the mutants and Sentinel, revealing their presence to the world. Magneto and his Acolytes arrived at the test facility and forced Wolverine and the Sentinel to the surface. The X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants joined together to find Wolverine. They had him fight their prototype Sentinel as a test. The group under Trask kidnapped Wolverine of the X-Men. The Sentinels were designed by Bolivar Trask and built in secret.
