#alternity starscream's null ray can travel back in time and space and kill you in the past and he has full on probability manipulation

[robotsprinkles]

okay.

so I don't have anything against warhammer 40k (from what I've seen it seems pretty cool).

and I don't know enough about the general fanbase to have a solid opinion on it

but the subset of wh40k fans who're obsessed with barging into any discussion of various sci-fi factions and declaring that wh40k or even just the imperium could destroy said faction/universe — or in some cases literally saying "don't be salty just cus all your favorite settings get solo'd by a space marine lmao" really drive me up the wall

like. shut the hell up.

that 80-90% of the time I see someone bring up wh40k in contexts that aren't about 40k it's to announce just how 40k is so so so so much stronger than every other sci-fi series and could wipe the floor with them really doesn't paint 40k fans (and 40k by extension) in a great light

also — and I'm sorry for bringing up the Alternity every time this happens but I mean. if people are going to be stupid then so will I — have fun beating the Hytherion when it travels billions of years into the past and eats your entire galaxy (or universe) before it even forms

(yes, transformers alternity is stupid as hell. fun thing to bring up in stupid nerdfights over whose universe is the strongest though.)

#yes I'm posting this because some dickhead 40k fan decided to be an idiot in the comments of a titanfall video #also. the Alternity have a weapon called the Sword of the Heavens #which can force even the Hytherion to collapse in on itself into a single point before disappearing #and is so massive that it's ''like a knife slicing apart the galaxy'' #(the Hytherion's size varies due to being extradimensional/transdimensional. #but in the story where it got SotH'd it was large enough to mask an entire quadrant of the galaxy #and the SotH was able to pierce deeply into it) #and if we're ignoring the Hytherion because it's basically a god. okay. #alternity starscream's null ray can travel back in time and space and kill you in the past and he has full on probability manipulation #and if I'm reading the translation right #alternity bumblebee can do things like reduce your z axis scale to zero/near zero by snapping his fingers and stop the local flow of time #so I'm sure your space marines who are essentially just really fast and slightly small tanks on legs can pose a threat to them #oh also the alternity are unkillable because they're higher dimensional gestalt beings who interact with the material universes via avatars #(yes. universes) #(sorry if this is too petty and stupid and whatnot. #the guy who just had to go ''a single space marine could solo all your favourite settings'' set me off)
