I thought the Xmen sentinels weren't made of metal?

I watched Days of Future Past again, and was very confused by this.

Trask directly states in the movie that they are made of a polymer, thus counteracting Erik's power over metal. Yet we clearly see him directing the Sentinels to do his bidding at the end of the movie.

Clearly he had no other way of controlling them other than them being made of metal. What's with the major inconsistency?

I haven't seen it since opening day, but didn't someone put metal in or around those sentinels while they were being transported? I'm sure there was something like that.

You missed the part on the train. Magneto takes control of the railings and infuses them onto the sentinels during transport before the white house ceremony Lol.

Remember the part where metal was infused into them while they were transported. That would be the sole reason why Magneto could control them.

Yup, I not only missed it once, but twice as I was just confused on the day I saw the movie the first time. If metal was added like that, how did Trask not notice the difference before the unveiling and do something? Or did he not have the time to notice?

Idk but I loved the scene in Wolverine and the X-Men when his daughter Lorna (Polaris) took control of the sentinel, kicked butt, then even reconfigured it into a good guy

Boss shit

He laced the insides of them with metal wires
