There's no certain answer as you said it. But for me it wasn’t poor scripting. It’s an everyday situation that 80-90% of the world experiences.
You have to gain trust before you can betray them. You can’t betray someone when you don’t have their trust.
Yes, we know, Sentinel is being trusted when the matrix was offered. But do we know for sure that Optimus was really willing to give the Matrix, or it was just a test on his part? Because of the dramatic scene between the two, the "might be" plan of Optimus of testing Sentinel was camouflaged. But since Sentinel did not take the matrix and served some sweet words to his successor, Sentinel got an upvote in their own personal network.
Then without warning: bam! One ranking officer for the Autobots is dead. Was it that easy for Sentinel to get the kill? Yes! Because there is the back-to-back trust.
When somebody is back-to-back with each other, they trust within their 180 degrees of vision that they are protected plus the trusted man on your back to cover the rest of 180. Then you can get killed if that back betrays you.
