That's not how I meant it. I mean that they are religious figures and thus the title they each hold bears a sacred connotation. Whereas the non-13 Primes are military officials and so the title that they hold bears a more secular connotation.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:How so?sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:I think an easier way to see it would be that the Prime rank held by the Thirteen is a religious one, while the Prime rank held by typical leaders is a secular one.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:they like to re-defined words/terms

because, the 13 arent the heads of different religious orders.

They are a part of the whole Primus/Unicron mythology, which itself is considered a Transformers religion.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:I dont see how they can be seen as "religious figures".There are no religions based on any of the 13, as far as I know.
And they may have been spoken of in their "bible", but not every character in the "our" bible qualifies as a religious figure.

Also true. But the Apostles were, and the Thirteen are kinda like Primus' version of them.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:They are a part of the whole Primus/Unicron mythology, which itself is considered a Transformers religion.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:I dont see how they can be seen as "religious figures".There are no religions based on any of the 13, as far as I know.
