Aww thanks. Just trying to maintain as much strength as I can while going through this lean out phase.
I’m learning more and more, and there’s really no rushing anything.

I have a question… Was Rise of the Fallen the one with “ancients” ? The dinosaurs type critters? I can’t remember.
It was brought up in the movie sequel thread and it’s driving me crazy that I can’t remember.
Transformers right?
The Fallen was apart of the original 13 primes. He’s in the movie Rise of the Fallen
Bit of backstory:
Hasboro/older comics classified characters like him as being a multiversal singularity. Basically stating he’s known throughout the universe, and can exist as a singular being in multiple universes.
There’s about 10 different stories of him as described in different comics/shows. They are relatively the same with different details here and there. You really don’t even need to know all that.
The one with the dinosaurs is in Age of extinction.
They are actually one huge transformer that breaks into sub bots. Shockwave (Decepticon), had them locked up in his ship and pretty much experimented with them, causing them to take the form of more primal looking animals. He pretty much wanted them to be full blown Berserkers. Grimlock is the leader (He’s also the T-Rex). That’s also why they’re so unfriendly and vicious. They’re fairly old though.
Most comic nerds (including myself), call the ancient looking dinosaurs DinoBots.
Names:
Grimlock
Slug
Scorn
Strafe
Going back to The Fallen, concerning the story as told in the movie, there were 13 original Primes. One of which (the Fallen), decided that he wanted to take his cosmic powers and abilities into his own hands. That staff was pretty much equal to a reality warping tool. Just like that…poof…no more of whatever it is he didmt want there.
In the comics, it’s a bit different. The Fallen betrayed the maker of Cybertron. Forget her name. She looks like Medusa, and can create matter and life as she sees fit, and also destroy it. He betrayed her by siding with Unicron. Unicron is referenced as Earth. Big battle went down, maker of Cybertron and the Fallen got trapped underneath realities…yada yada yada.
I’m pretty sure I just spewed a bunch of comic crap lol.
Shorter version:
The Fallen was the one fucking up the Pyramids in the movie. Think it’s the third movie
The DinoBots were in the movie that had that one Transformer whose face morphed into what I assume was some sort of high tech military grade sub machine gun and he was straight hunting everyone down. Fourth movie I think.
Did I answer your question? If I just confused you I apologize lol

I really would’ve liked to get my hands on the older toys, like in the 80s, when my brother had all the collectibles. He mostly just gave me all his comics.
I never cared for the toys the produced in my generation, or the ones they make now. They kinda look like junk lol.
Most of the comics I have are from me hunting them down. Some I find at shops, some I’m willing to buy offline.

I still remember getting all of those little transformer toys from the happy meals at McDonalds. Cheap buggers didn’t even make them look like any of the real ones, they were all blue and white and had these lame silver claws on the arms that busted off a lot of times.

Update:
Been stuck at 185-191lbs.
I think I’m needing to go back to one of the mass building templates.
My lifts are pretty stagnant. 315/160/305 seems to be the most I can accomplish. Which is meh. I don’t think I’m going to run anything Westside or 5/3/1 related simply because I have school, and I now work at Costco in that godforsaken Food court, and it’s something close to slave labor, but they pay 14$ starting out as incentive to ignore the fact that you’ve got blisters forming practically everywhere. Couple that with school, and it’s obvious I probably won’t be seeing my lifts increase for a while.
So I’ll have to pick something that isn’t going to have me reaching in the 90%+ range.
Other than that I’ve just been tired. Pretty much.

Believe me folks care. Myself included. It looks nice from the outside, because you’re the one buying stuff, but it’s chaos back there ( if you’re actually an employee at Costco), and so far I’ve been at Costco for four days, and had two supervisors and a manager tell me a bunch of negative shit, and I’m trying to learn 3 months worth of stuff in four days. They’re supposed to properly train me, instead of throwing me to the wolves. But whatever I guess. I’m about 2 breathes away from calling the higher ups, because that’s not how you handle new employees. At all. I’m getting paid 14$ an hour to bust my ass, I expect someone to properly show me the ropes.

Sorry to hear they are being unreasonable and stupid with you. What we do for a living huh? Don’t feel bad about saying something, you should not have to deal with that kind of behaviour at work. Your expectations are reasonable, theirs aren’t.

Oh no!! Then I agree. Setting up people to fail – not having a good training protocol or having a shitty toxic environment is not even cool.
I amend my statement to now say don’t let a job make you hate your life!! It sounds like you have scoped it out enough to see it’s not worth spending time in a bad job!!!
That sucks!!!
