I enter this thread blind unknowing if there's any raging haters lurking about....
EDIT:
Oh? First in the thread?
All right then, I'll be waiting.

I am sick of this sort of crap. I see it all the time, and nobody says anything about it! Everyone just goes ahead and pretends it's all fine, but everyone is far to polite to actually just say it!
You forgot to mention that two of them are dressed like Jem and The Holograms! How DARE you!
I feel like I've seen the pink one dressed as Optimus Prime before.

I choose to ignore your anti-pony rant. To answer your question though, "the pink one" did dress as Optimus, on a BotCon editon variant cover of an MLP comic, sometime last year.

You also choose to ignore the joke he made, revealing his post to not be an "anti-pony rant" but a false lead into point that ultimately isn't anti-pony.bluecatcinema wrote:Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:Really? REALLY?

Starring:
Pinkie Pie as Optimus Prime
Rainbow Dash as Snake Eyes
DJ Pon-3 as Jem
Octavia as Kimber Benton
and introducing Princess Luna as Princess Luna!
Even in crossovers Luna gets the short end of the stick.

Yeah, that's an outrage. You might even say it's... truly outrageous.

Probably because you have, at last year's Botcon.
Sabrblade wrote: the DJ one whose name escapes me
DJ Pon-3, a.k.a. Vinyl Scratch.

Are you kidding? If you had fans that loved you as much as the Bronies love Luna, why would you want to be anyone else?

I'm talking about in fiction. She's only ever had one story to herself, and aside from that, very little screen time elsewhere. As opposed to Celestia and Cadence who get all of the attention and glory whenever they're around. Wasn't that the reason she tried to overthrow her sister and ended up on the moon for a thousand years?

Well, I found this. Not sure if I should be amazed or scared. One thing is sure however, it's sexy as hell!
Also, found this:
D'ohohohoho!
How about a combiner?
Finally, I'm throwing money at the screen but this this is not happenning:
Man, I'd really want to buy this Rainbow Dash or similar TF X-Overs.

True, but she's had fairly major supporting roles in some of the more recent episodes. You have to admit it's better than being swept under the carpet for a whole season.

Let's be fair, Celestia really hasn't had any stories to herself, she's mostly been there so Twilight can react to her.

I've heard about that, but haven't seen it. Is there a picture anywhere online?

Sadly, no. No photo taking or video recording were allowed at the Retrospective Panel. It was basically just Beast Wars Neo Mach Kick in Twilight Sparkle colors.Nemesis Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:There was also that "Twilight Sparkle Prime" unmade proposal we saw at BotCon's retrospective panel.

No pics were allowed in this one-time deal.
20 Years, 20 Exclusives That Never Were.
The first 10 never even made it past conception, the second ten were approved but then rejected
1 – Hardshell (G1 Bombshell) from Generations Darkmount/Straxus
2 – Overlord from ROTF Mindwipe
3 – Hubcap from Animated Soundwave
4 – "Marlboro" from ROTF Lockdown
5 – "Femme Fatale Cykill" from Prime First Edition Arcee
6 – "Predaking BW Style" from Beast Wars Tigerhawk
7 – Shattered Glass Stranglehold from 2010 Deluxe Axor, would have had a mustache
8 – Skyquake and King Atlas (I think?) from Universe Ultra Silverbolt
9 – The Turbomasters w/ Thunderclash from Prime RID Ultra Magnus and four Prime RID Deluxe car molds (Wheeljack, Bumblebee, etc.)
10 – Twilight Sparkle Prime from Beast Wars Neo Mach Kick
What You Almost Got
11 – G1 Ransack from Generations FOC Kickback w/ two Arms Microns
12 – Three pirates from PRID Wheeljack, PRID Dreadwing, Generations FOC Air Raid (Wheeljack was almost this year's Cannonball)
13 – Bumper from Prime RID Rumble
14 – G1 Crosshairs from Generations Kup
15 – Animated Strika from Animated Voyager Bulkhead
16 – Bruton from Generations FOC Grimlock
17 – Bruton from Prime First Edition Bulkhead
18 – Machine Wars Prowl from Classics Mirage (was replaced by Machine Wars Mirage)
19 – Machine Wars Hubcap from Generations Kup w/ the MW Hoist/Electrons headsculpt
Teasing us with Animated drawings, Sideswipe, Jackpot, Jhiaxus, Goldbug, purple Blackout
20 – The original plan for 2011's Animated set: Toxic Mayhem – BugBite (Animated Hydrodrive Bumblebee) and Toxitron (Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime) vs. Jackpot (which we did get later) and Kup (Cybertron Mode Optimus Prime). Animated Sideswipe would have been based on the SG deco instead of the G2 deco. Animated Tigatron from Rodimus. Animated Shokaract from Blackout. Animated Springer from Swindle. Animated Flamewar, Nightracer, and one other black & green Con fembot (missed the name of this one) from Arcee. Plus G1-colors Breakdown and Action Master colors Thundercracker (both of which we did wind up getting).
One proposal that couldn’t be found was told to us instead: a BotCon Alternators box set. Four figure box set. Galvatron from Wheeljack (new head). Cyclonus from Mirage. Ultra Magnus from Optimus. Rodimus from somebody (but we got one anyway).
The Ultra Mammoth idea came out earlier, in like 2012 or so. And since we got a BW version of Ultra Magnus, and there was already a BW version of Optimus, who does that leave that's missing...?
Bonus 21 – Rodimouse from Transmetal Rattrap!

Ah I love body paint pics, especially if you can still make out all the good bits, like in this one.

Damn shame photos were prohibited, it'd be so nice if everyone could see these.
