Via Equestria Daily we have a look at a possible IDW Transformers #18 Convention Exclusive Cover (My Little Pony themed).
The cover features Cyclonus, Tailgate, Rodimus, Arcee and Soundwave in colors and references of popular “My Little Pony” characters. A very colorful art indeed. This seems to be an exclusive cover for an upcoming convention. We still have no further details on which event or any official announcement, so take this with a grain of salt at the moment. Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.
While this is just a special cover with no relation with the ongoing Transformers story, don’t forget that a proper Transformers x My Little Pony Friendship In Disguise Comic is coming in hot this May 2020. Yes, it’s real.

Cyc and ‘gate I assume is because the two are so close. And Arcee I believe is because of Pinkamena, Pinky’s psychotic fan theory alter ego.
Admit it, Rodimus/Rarity is perfect though.

Feels like some of these choices were made more from color scheme then actual personality. Like, why is Cyclonus Twilight? Because there purple? Why is Arcee Pinkie? Because they're both pink? Also FiM went to crap after season 3.

My favorite part about the MLP crossovers is how sensitive it makes so many of you. Sorry about the cartoon ponies in your super serious comic about immortal alien robots.

Hey! Its Rodimus Unicornus and Cyclonus the herald of Unicorn!

Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? Also it\'s kind of a fun thing to see Rodimus in his Lost Light colors again. Regardless if I had the opportunity I would absolutely pick up this cover. And that\'s coming from someone who can\'t stand the MLP franchise.

Funny thing is I usually read Tailgate with Spike's voice. So I honestly appreciate this cover.

Just when I think it can't get worse.
Excellent job IDW, I'm sure transformers fans will love it, and it will sell very well.
Just call me the toxic avenger

I must specify. I think the concept is cool for a convention exclusive and to promote the crossover, But if I walked in a room and saw that I'm walking back out

Is… is Soundwave dabbing?

That would be no one.
Transformers is literally fuelled by grown adults nostalgia to when they were seven years old. Transformers makes us feel seven years old again.

Goodness. You never know what threads are just gonna set people off these days.
I'm sure the majority of people commenting on this where already aware of the upcoming crossover, but thanks for pointing out the obvious either way. It really added a lot to the discussion.
Telling people what they can and can't dislike is kinda cringe bro.

Yo man, I like MLP and even I think this cover is some messy s***. Like pastel blandness all over it. Needs more contrast to the colors.

This looks really bad and I don’t even care about mlp. It just looks bad and not nessecary.
There are already cute transformers characters like squeeks and bumblebee and rescue bots. Why not use them instead of mlp.
Very weird

I ended up becoming a fan of My Little Pony. For some reason I thought it was about a bunch of ponies hanging around in a field. Instead, the original main character was a studious nerd/bookworm, often in a library, something my childhood self kind of related to. (Also my health was bad enough at the time that I was pretty much stuck on a sofa being introduced to the likes of MLP and Rescue Bots by my youngest. Sometimes when you're in a lot of pain, having something with a 'positive' message to watch actually helps.)
Saying that, while I don't mind crossovers, (I wouldn't mind a bunch of robotic ponies that turned in their 'human' selves – the same way I want CHUG versions of the Rescue Bots), this cover reminds me of a bunch of guys cross-dressing as Disney Princesses.
