Description
The sixth of my Botcon set concepts.This set is a bit of fun, reimagining My Little Pony characters as Transformers. Now, for those of you late to the game, the idea behind these sets is that current Transformer molds are repainted (following plastic sprue patterns), with up to three new head remolds. Now, this causes some problems, since all these characters are female, and most Transformers are male. This is an 'inspired by' set rather than literally ponies as Transformers so no moaning that they don't all transform into accurate pony alt modes!
Story: Beyond good! Beyond evil! Beyond friendship! On the far off world of Equestria a group of heroic Autobots must survive a gauntlet of amusing everyday incidents. Can chief researcher Twilight Sparkle attend three different parties at once? Can Fluttershy overcome her fear of intercontinental ballistic missiles? And why is Rarity making dresses for giant robots? Luckily their commander Princess Celestia has the planet safe in her solar-powered iron fist.
Box Set contents:
Princess Celestia (from Energon voyager Megatron)
Twilight Sparkle (from RTS Perceptor)
Spike (from Universe Warpath)
Fluttershy (from DOTM Tomahawk)
Rarity (from RTS Tracks)
Pinkie Pie (from RTS Blurr)
Oh boy oh boy
Princess Celestia was a hard choice. I was thinking this or Powerglide, but Energon Megatron won out, because it looks more 'leaderish' and has a crown. I think it works, potentially I should have made her more white but that looked rather plain. Energon Megatron is primarily grey but with a mad mish-mash of other colours, I think this one unifies it more. Does it look like a princess though? Maybe a robot princess! as an Alicorn, she is a futuristic spaceship who also has a tank accessory, thus bridging all worlds!
Rarity could only ever be Tracks, the prettiest of Transformers. I actually like the purple and white scheme here and I could actually see this most as a 'real' figure. As a unicorn she has an unusual mode (Tracks car mode has flip out bits and pretty wing things).
Twilight Sparkle is also a techy altmode with flippy out things. The Perceptor mold has a nice bowl-helmet which matches her haircut nicely. It's probably a bit purple but I wasn't sure what else to do about that.
Spike could only ever be Warpath. I like him.
Pinkie Pie was the first I did. As an Earth Pony she is a car; I chose Blurr because he looks fun and fast, and the helmet is big and poofy like her haircut. She has FUN GUNS for shooting FUN, and a sniper rifle for long distance FUN.
Fluttershy is a helicopter; she can fly but not too impressively. I like the Tomahawk mold, it is slight and a bit gangly. I gave her a new head because the Tomahawk head was quite horrible. The other new heads go to Applejack and Rainbow Dash (who will be in the next set I upload)

Oh yes, Fluttershy could only ever be a helicopter upon becoming a Cybertronian. And while the half-tread Perceptor model makes sense for Twilight Sparkle, I always pictured her as an unassuming SUV.

Excellent choices of Twilight as Perceptor and Pinkie as Blur. Also, I laughed at Celestia as Megatron, it fits the Trollestia joke so well.

Well I wanted to restrict myself to usable recent molds, and there really isn't a huge choice if you dont' want something that looks like a horrible monster.
Tracks is a sexy mold!

What's funny is that "Spike" is also the name of Spike Witwicky, the human partner from the original Transformers cartoon and comics.
