Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe.

"prayer warrior" is one of my favorite concepts. Those two words are just so comically incompatible.
It's honestly a plague I've been finding more and more common with not just this, but just the overall conflating of everything with everything else. The whole idea behind "prayer warrior" is to try and create some sort of equality between the words, or to diminish the meaning of words. Same with how they label people and things all the time as terrorists or acts of treason. It's as if the shock value of the word is what matters over the meaning but over time it gets the cried wolf syndrome so now we have an entire political party in America unironically calling themselves domestic terrorists.
/rant over.
I've heard prayer warrior since I was a kid in the 80s. The idea is that the prayer warrior is fighting a spiritual battle instead of a physical one. How is it a battle? Well when they start praying, Satan will start to attack with doubts and fears. So it's a fight to preserve and continue praying.
All garbage as far as I'm concerned, but to them is has nothing to do with changing the meaning of words. It's the best way they have to describe how hard it is to pray for hours on end for multiple days when you have a brain telling you that this is silly.

The real question becomes which side was actually the more evil one when you watch all the films apparently.
I only watched the cartoon when I was a kid. I never watched the movies. I’m sure Congress will be interviewing the president of Harvard to ask her opinion on the genocide of decepticons.
Would that be better or worse than the evil humans from earth that we have now? I’m honestly not sure myself.
But the evil robots are converting crude oil into exhaustfree energon cubes without license, think of the oil corps!
I'm becoming less of a hydrogen guy and more of an ammonia guy. Liquid ammonia seems easier to deal with than hydrogen gas.
Yeah, but ammonia chemically burns the eyes, lungs and skin of everyone that comes into contact with the resulting gas in a wide radius.
Yeah that's a problem. However, it might make more sense on balance if we have big nuclear power plants generating clean ammonia while off peak electric demand.
Ammonia is wayyyyyyyy easier to store and contains more hydrogen. Pity about the environmental and health dangers
You don't have to store liquid ammonia under high pressure and it has a higher energy density by volume than hydrogen. Also, ammonia is already very useful beyond energy storage, such as for fertilizer. Maybe a hybrid system is the way to go, with hydrogen for smaller consumer applications and ammonia for larger industrial ones. I don't know if there's good way to produce ammonia directly by electrolysis yet, so the ammonia might still have to be derived from hydrogen anyway.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Autocar, based in Birmingham, Ala., is a 126-year-old manufacturer of Class 7 and 8 work vehicles, including garbage trucks, cement mixers, terminal tractors, and more.
The company’s Hydrotec power cubs are lightweight, GM said, which enable large payloads, excellent range, and quick refueling.
Despite the technology having been in development for decades, there are only a little more than 50 fueling stations in California, mostly clustered around Los Angeles and the Bay Area.
The East Coast is trying to get in on the action, with a handful of stations up and running, and more in the works in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Overcoming this challenge is important for light-duty vehicles because they often have limited size and weight capacity for fuel storage.
The hydrogen-powered generators are being sold to commercial and military customers to start out, but the automaker said it plans on offering versions for residential use in the future.
