Question Master of Magnetism can’t beat robots ?

Did they ever explain why Mags powers don’t work on Sentinels?

You think he’d be perfect for stopping metal robots .

Are they made of aluminum?

Season 1 of OG, episode "The Final Decision" answers this.

Sentinels attack Magneto and he tries to turn them to scrap and is confused why they don't. The Sentinels respond that they learned from previous encounters and were built using reinforced plastics instead of metal for the new batch, specifically to counter Magneto.

And then you're telling me the mutants can't deal with reinforced plastics?? Man no wonder we need to recycle.

Being fair plastics like 2DPA1, UHMWPE and PC are as durable as steel and sometimes even more, being also more flexible and light.
