Post Pictures of your Transformers, Let's see 40 years worth of Transformers!

That line never made any sense to me.

Sentinel considers the Cybertronians to have been like gods back on their planet, but a mortal person can only really think of themself as a "god" if there exists alongside them something they consider to be lesser and beneath them, in order for them to make such a comparison in the first place.

On Cybertron, there's only one kind of dominant people on the planet, and that is the Cybertronians. There's nothing beneath them on Cybertron for Sentinel to compare them to that would make him consider the Cybertronians to be like gods.

Unless there's some kind of animals or other critters on the planet, but someone bragging about being a god compared to animals is a very silly thing to do.

The line is just pretentious nonsense.

 

[LordGigaIce]

The line is just pretentious nonsense.

It works for me under two interpretations.

The first one is that he's referring to the Dynasty of Primes that he and Optimus are a part of. This makes sense given that he's speaking directly to Optimus.

The second interpretation is that he's speaking about the Cybertronian race in a broad philosophical sense. Human philosophers and theologians have long touted humanity's "divine" nature either as the result of being created by a god or gods or in a more philosophical "our ability to reason makes us akin to gods in this world." Emerson said "[e]very man is a divinity in disguise, a god play." Shakespeare wrote "[w]hat a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god!"
It makes sense that Cybertronians would develop such ideas about themselves, seeing themselves as the centre of creation from their own perspective. Sentinel could find humanity seeing Cybertronians as mere machines to be an affront to the exceptionalism of his race.

All of this is probably giving the Bay movies way too much credit, but those are my two possible reads on it.

They also had the gall to use Spock's dying words to justify genocide.

Which also didn't make any lick of sense since there were way more humans than there were Cybertronians. Sentinel's needs were the needs of the few, not the many. The guy was totally delirious.

Well he was the villain

Alt-mode storage!

First, a stand-alone cassette! (Literally!)

All done without even removing his backpack-tail-thing!

Or, you can store him with Blaster!

What, inside? Sure, if you do it just the right way (cat head on the left, in the back. So in other words, backwards. WTH, Hasbro?), but it's a little snug for my liking. So here's my alternative:

Eject fits there just fine, too. Perfectly aligned to not spoil the profile from the front, as you can see above.

With any luck, Ramhorn will fit much the same way, if that's really a thing we're getting.

So I picked up a vintage MMPR Lord Zedd figure yesterday, and he came with both his Z staff and this weird halberd head/sword combo weapon. As far as I know it didn't come with the original Lord Zedd figure, it was just a thing in the box. I don't know what it is, or what line it belongs to, but it's TR Galvatron's now.

So I finally pulled out and pilled up all of my unopened figures this weekend. I am going to have to get some more shelves for them and reorganize the entire room. You folks would not believe how massive my unopened pile has got in the last few years. Space has been a concern, but I have just been putting them in the office closet, but now they are pilled up on a large wire shelf, and I honestly don't know if I have room for all of these toys without taking down half of my old CHUG collection.

Bravemaxing!

This has been the last few years for me, too. It's too bad selling stuff is such a pain.

I love how their hand positions make them look like finger-snapping backup singers.
