Transformers: Friendship is More Than Meets the Eye (my episode idea)

[gzilla46]

I have a wonderful idea for a 2-hour crossover special between Friendship is Magic and Transformers. I hope for it to be the first in a trilogy. I'm going to tell you it right now.

Transformers: Friendship is More Than Meets the Eye is the story of 2 intergalactic races of alien robots, the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron, and how they wage their war on a planet called Equestria. It is the first in a trilogy.

SYPNOSIS

The movie begins when an opening speech from Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, who tells the viewers the story of the war between the Autobots and the evil Decepticons, led by Megatron. The war was for the powerful object known as The Allspark, the life force of all Transformers. The Decepticons want it for evil purposes, but the Autobots want to protect it. In a last resort, Optimus hurled the Allspark into space to keep it away from Megatron, where it landed on a strange planet called Equestria 1000 years ago, a planet inhabited by ponies, where it remained hidden, until this very day.

1000 years later, a base containing military ponies called The Wonderbolts. Suddenly, they spot a Wonderbolt that was flying around to patrol the area has been shot down. The Wonderbolts spot a helicopter enter their base. But all of a sudden, the copter starts transforming into a huge 30-foot tall alien robot. It is a Decepticon called Shockwave. Shockwave starts rampaging and destroying the base and overwhelms the Wonderbolt forces. Soon, leaving the Wonderbolt base in ruins, Shockwave goes to find the location of The Allspark.

Meanwhile, in a quiet town called Ponyville, a pony named Twilight Sparkle is preparing for a camping trip in the Everfree Forest, with her friends, AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. After she packs up her gear, she then heads over to the other ponies houses to tell them its time to go. Soon, the gang then walks all the way outside of Ponyville to get to the forest. On the way, Applejack discovers a strange cube-like object in the middle of the forest. She doesn't know it, but it's the Allspark. She heads back to the campsite to show her friends what she found, and they are impressed. Applejack puts it in her backpack for safe keeping. But suddenly, they spot what looks like a shooting star. But it isn't a shooting star. It's a meteor. It crash lands in the forest. The ponies go to take a look at it, and notice something strange about this meteorite. It's all alien-like. Suddenly, a giant alien robot comes out of the meteorite. The ponies make a run for it, scared. The ponies try to go to sleep, but they are afraid of the robot. Then, they finally go to sleep. They don't know it, but more meteors start falling from the sky in different locations in Equestria, each one containing a giant robot.

Later next morning, Applejack goes out for a walk in the woods, and suddenly, a fighter jet shows up and hovers near her. She scared that robot she saw last night might still be out here. The jet transforms into a giant robot called Starscream. Starscream attacks Applejack, demanding The Allspark from her. The other ponies hear Applejack screaming for help and rush over to see her being chased by Starscream. Rainbow Dash tries to fight the towering robot, but Starscream simply swats Rainbow Dash to the ground. Starscream is about to kill the ponies, but is stopped by the Autobot named Bumblebee saves the ponies and fights Starscream. After the battle, Starscream is forced to retreat.

Bumblebee takes the ponies to meet the Autobots- Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet and Arcee. Optimus tells why the Decepticons have been terrorizing Equestria. They want the Allspark, the powerful object Applejack has in her house. Arcee warns the ponies that in at least an hour or so, Megatron will arrive on Equestria and invade Ponyville. So, The Autobots drive the ponies over to Applejack's house and wait while still in disguise. Applejack finds the cube, and the Autobots and the ponies quickly drive out of Ponyville to hide The Allspark somewhere safe. But more troubles arise as Megatron has finally arrived in Equestria. He reunites with Starscream, and orders the Decepticons to go after the ponies, while he takes care of the pitiful town Ponyville. Megatron goes on a rampage in Ponyville, causing massive destruction. Optimus knows that Megatron has arrived in Ponyville, and tells his Autobot comrades and the ponies they have to go back to Ponyville to stop Megatron.

Along the way, Shockwave confronts the team and attacks. Optimus tells the team to keep going while he deals with Starscream. Optimus and Shockwave start fighting, and eventually, Optimus gains the upper hand and defeats Shockwave, forcing the Decepticon to retreat. Eventually, the other Autobots make it to Ponyville. Megatron fights the four Autobots and ponies. Megatron overpowers the Autobots and ponies, hammering Ironhide and blasting at Bumblebee. Megatron then calls in for reinforcments. Soon, Starscream, Soundwave, and Barricade arrive in Ponyville. Finally, Optimus Prime makes it to Ponyville and battles Megatron. A huge fight ensuses in the city, Optimus battles Megatron, and Arcee and Ironhide take on Starscream and Soundwave, while Ratchet takes on Barricade. During Optimus and Megatron's fight, Megatron eventually pummels Optimus, and is about to finish him, but then the Wonderbolts arrive and attack Megatron, severly damaging him. Princess Celestia arrives on the scene and gives the ponies the Elements of Harmony. The ponies attack Megatron using The Elements of Harmony, killing the Decepticon leader. With the battle ended, Princess Celestia thanks Optimus and the ponies for their bravery against the Decepticons, and she quickly seals The Allspark in a magic safe where The Decepticons can't find it.

In the end, Ponyville is saved, and Optimus knows that while Cybertron cannot be restored with The Allspark gone, but he now has Equestria as his new home, which he vows to protect.

The End

Should this idea really happen? Yes or no? Why or why not? Leave your answer here.

Do you like this idea?

[gzilla46]

People say "No". Why?

As a special? Maybe not. Transformers, considering you're using the 2007 models, and their battles can be considered too graphic to merge with FiM. If you were aiming for Transformers:Prime, however, that might be able to cut it. Violence isn't totally uncommon in FiM, but if you want to have Optimus ripping Shockwave's head into two, you may be asking for too much.

As a fan based project? This can actually be a pretty good idea, but it feels like you're borrowing too many key moments from the 2007 movie, specifically Twilight shoving the Allspark in Megatron's chest, Shockwave's attack on the Wonderbolt base, etc.

Try incorporating your own ideas, what if possibilites, etc.

You can also try putting emphasis on Pony-Autobot teamwork that can evolve into "friendship" instead of total bot mayhem throughout the special, and how ponies would react to modern cars and trucks in a pony based world.

Hope this helps

OK. Let me try to see if I can fix some things.

This looks like a terrific crossover fanfic idea. I don't care for Transformers much myself, but I see you have a very solid, fleshed out idea here, and you should develop it however you like!

Thanks. But what if it was a REAL special.

So does the poll directly relate to YOUR idea, or just a general question of if a FiM Transformers crossover should happen?

A little of both.
