My Little Pony Transformers?
Post
by Professor Smooth » Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:59 am
What's that, you said? There is no way that Hasbro could come up with a Transformers crossover line that you would be less likely to buy than the Star Wars TFs? How does this grab ya? I've been told that Hasbro is seriously considering a small line of Transformers/My Little Pony cross-over figures aimed at a female audience. The figures would likely be in the same price point as the My Little Pony Scooters sized figures. If accurate, the line would consist of four original ponies that change into "cute" robots (think Playskool GoBots meet Beast Wars).
This is not a joke. This is
supposedly being seriously considered.
Wonder if Takara's version will be full of die-cast, chrome, and backstory.

Smooth... you and your sources should stop smoking so much bad sh*t...
Alternately, if our reality is really as skewered as to produce this concept eventually, I'm going to be needing a LOT of that good sh*t you're smoking.

Hm, if there's any tie-in fiction, then presumably the tagline will be "Transformers. Ponies in disguise".

All this only helps to remind me that my Mach Kick got lost at the post.
Horse TFs are cool, well, maybe except Battle UNicorn. And, um, was there anyone else?

Have we acctually gotten any sort of confirmation that this is acctually something that's in the works?
Or did I, and Smooth too, just dream it all?

I got to put in my two stacks.
Would this tie into BeastWars?
Would name rehashes like: Arcee, Elita-1 and others be used?

It probably wouldn't tie into Beast Wars. Using names like Arcee and Elita-1 would make sense, however they would probably want to go "cuter."
There was nothing mentioned about these at the UK Toyfair, which I'm kind of bummed about. My girlfriend collects My Little Pony, after all.

Anyone remember the Happy Meal ad they did donkeys years ago when you had a choice between a TF and a My Little Pony? They showed two boys who'd picked the Transformers, looking miserable and alone- thena third boy who'd gone for the Pony and had biatches all over him wanting to touch his horse.
In short, the moral was: Transformers suck.
