The result? A bunch of Transformers are pulled into and scattered all across Equestria. On the ponies’ world of Equestria, the evil changeling Queen Chrysalis uses her magical powers to summon “ fellow changelings from other worlds!” Meanwhile, on the Transformers’ world of Cybertron, the eternally warring Autobots and Deceptictons are at it again, this time near a space bridge capable of breaching other dimensions. Asmus and artist Tony Fleecs present bookend-ing chapters that set up and resolve the crossover. The comic unfolds in eight 10-page vignettes. Rather they take their comedic comic seriously, or at least sincerely, presenting a story that stays true to both franchises and their characters and thus works as both a My Little Pony story and a Transformers story (although, if cornered, I would say it’s more of a My Little Pony comic guest-starring the Transformers than it is the opposite). Writers James Asmus, Ian Flynn, and Sam Maggs don’t treat the crossover as a joke, although the humorous tension of the juxtaposition hums throughout. Last year’s My Little Pony/Transformers: Friendship in Disguise, newly collected and released in trade paperback form, was essentially a miniseries-length riff on Scioli’s joke, mashing up the unlikely Hasbro brands in a single narrative that should shock fans of either by its very existence. And the gag was possible because Hasbro owned the My Little Pony brand, just as it did Transformers and G.I. Joe, was a long-lived multi-media franchise based on a toy line but seemed as far from the other two as could be. The gag worked because My Little Pony, like Transformers and G.I.
