This X-Men Sentinel Has Audi Taillights for Eyes

If you're a child of the 80s and 90s, I just have to say "Sentinel" and your hair will stand on end. The fictional robots spelled the end not only for the famous mutants of the X-Men series, but also enslaved humanity under the control of their Overmind.

A new X-Men movie is coming in 2014, and this viral teaser shows the inception of these deadly machines. The clip is not a trailer for the movie, but a fake commercial from the fictional Trask Industries, who made the Sentinels, supposedly for humanity's protection.

What we want to know is why this robot that likes to squash mutants has the taillights of an Audi R8 for eyes. In fact it's not even an R8 thing. Other older model Audis have the same design.
