    As McFeely discussed on Twitter, I hate that current Hasbro leadership is deathly afraid of anything but bland evergreen G1 Transformers designs in crossovers. Mcfeely said it would’ve been interesting if MLP crossed over with TFP, since they both started at the same time and all.

    Huh

    This looks like it could be fun. I'm assuming it's skewing a little younger than most books just because the MLP book was more an older preteen kinda book

    Buddy, this is a franchise where the little robots live on the chest of a god curled up to be a planet, while their leader has a magic trinket in his chest that lets him kill the devil, it's already fantasy, like Star wars, it's space fantasy.

    Ugh, Ian Flynn? Why am I not surprised that he's involved in this.

    That's half the reason it wouldn't work.

    *Cue rimshot*

    Actually, I second MLP meets Botbots. That would work quite nicely.

    In all fairness, that's just silly. Many, if not most, Transformers media contains a high amount of fantasy. This is especially true in the Marvel comics iteration, where everyone was literally the offspring of the physical manifestation of a living god made to square off against another. Ever since the invention of the spark as a concept, Transformers have had at least a minor element in "OOooooOOooo nobody knows how this works and it's probably a spirit!"

    At any rate:

    It's IDW and Hasbro having a bit of fun. So what? This is a franchise that allowed this to happen:

    Yes, that's Bulkhead wearing a pest fumigation tent with eyeholes cut into it so he can be a ghost. If we can slap "Transformers" on this, we can let Ponies in on occasion for a larf.

    I mean heck, they teamed up with Angry Birds. Why not tiny horses?

    I already explained why. Some things just don't work well together. I honestly don't believe that any generation of MLP or certain other franchises would work well with Vanilla Evergreen Transformers, unless it was toys and toys.

    Marvel probably would because its Marvel and diverse and sci-fantasy.

    And I changed my mind somewhat to say that Ponies and Botbots would work much better.

    I think Transformers Animated would have been a good one too(iirc, Discord cameo'd in the TFA Allspark Alamac)

    Maybe joke about the human Autobots from Animated in the EQG universe too :p 

    Tbh, S9, heck, most of the show for the last couple of seasons, weren't very good(except S7, that was great)

    Question!

    Who here would be okay with a female combiner that "Slightly" followed after MyLittlePony's and Carebears?

    It could have limbs that consisted of a Unicorn, Pegasus, Ram and Deer. And a Momma Bear Grizzly as the torso?

    I said this before because I honestly think that with a decent origin story they could have better success than that Elita1 set (who should've been individual characters that didn't combine) and the Torch Bearers.

    True or not?

    You're not surprised the Sonic writer is working on an MLP/TF story? Cause I sure am!

    It’s already looking bad to me. The ponies look exactly like they should but the artist really didn’t care about drawing Optimus Prime.
