Make of this what you will! IDW will be crossing over Transformers with the breakout hit of the Hub Network, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, in a convention exclusive cover which will be offered at Botcon 2013 in San Diego.
Check out the original report at Comic Book Resources. You might note that the cover is listed as “convention exclusive” rather than “Botcon exclusive” so it might well be offered at other events, such as San Diego Comic Con.

So what did this retail for at the show? I see what they are going for on Ebay and I am just flabbergasted.
Basilisk
Worse than Kiss Players.

As a fan of both My Little Pony and Transformers i can say..
I love it!
Sucks that it is a Botcon exclusive tho…
…because I would love to have it.

This is clearly hilarious, though. Maybe the comic itself actually sucks but the cover is funny.

Still not the worst crossover idea (comic or cover-only) ever. This is still the champ:

No, because a Jem and the Holograms crossover would likely be the most amazing thing since sliced bread.
Anyway, the majority of the distaste towards MLP is not because of the show, or the toys or the comics or whatever, but because of the loud, obnoxious and sometimes insanely creepy portion of the fandom that you can't avoid anywhere on the internet.
Now, I personally dislike the idea of Bronies, but this certain thing doesn't really come across as a big deal, as I said before. I can understand if it were a Transformers comic with My Little Pony on the cover, but it isn't, it's the opposite. If anything, My Little Pony fans are justified to be bothered by it.

Bunch of 30 something year old MALES obsessing themselves with a cartoon aimed at little GIRLS is freaking creepy.
Deal with it.

I actually watched and enjoyed Jem and the Holograms as a kid. I have no shame in that. That show was VERY 80s. If a remake/reboot is ever accomplished I would give it a try just for nostalgia purposes. As for MLP, it is not the girly association that prevents my interest. I have heard very good things about the writing and characterization and I am not above enjoying very girly fantasy. Personally I am in favor of expanding the appeal of the Transformers with little things like this. I have little interest in Rescue Bots but think the concept was about damn time. There are children in my life turning 3 very soon. Rescue Bots is a fairly obvious and very marketable take on the Transformers franchise. More variations that appeal to others especially those with differing interests than myself are good for the brand.
