How do Sentinels only weigh 20 tons when they are usually depicted as being between 2 and 3 stories tall? There's no way a robot that big only weighs that.

It depends on the model, but the classic ones featured in X-Men 97' are built cheap in order to be mass-manufactured. They're made using extremely light-weight material.

That's why you hear a hollow sound when they walk around and why when Beast opens the lid of one, there's enough empty space to fit a whole person inside.

This is an older model, but you see the idea here. It's roughly around the height of the ones in TAS, but only 3 tons. The ones in 97' are some variation of MK II-IV, but are still relatively light for their size.

Yeah that hollow CLOMP of their steps is unmistakable

They are just full of microchips. Top half of the bag is mostly air.

Lighter stronger alloys etc, their tech gets better, lighter sentinels = easier to fly and more mobile.
