(That's right, folks! My Little Pony x Mighty Switch Force! Because two asked for it!)
Hard-luck robo-policewoman Patricia Wagon's done it again -- she's carelessly transported an unsuspecting infant clear across the universe.
Good News: Ugly Secret Babies are made of tough stuff!
Bad News: It's landed in Equestria. Specifically, Changeling turf. Did we mention babies are nigh-infinite sources of crying pooping unconditional love? Because they are!
Now it's up to a probational Patty and a newbie-princess Twilight to right this rescue gone wrong! It's going to get hot in here!
Cover art credits go to the infamous Shax -- often imitated, yet never duplicated. To date.

Hooray for everything !
This pretty much sums it up.
I don't know anything about Mighty Switch Force, but I can tell this is going to be a wild (and wacky) ride!
OH OH AFTER MONTHS OF ANTICIPATION IT COMES

I TOLD YOU IT WAS COMING
I TOLD YOU IT WAS COMING FOR MONTHS

Those are indeed two of the best words to describe what's in store, yes.
Well, I liked it.
I'm liking how this story's rolling out. It's a shame this one isn't as successful as some of your other fanfictions.
To be blunt, despite having played both Switch Force games, I never really got into the story. This fic is making me want to actually figure out the what's and why's and how's of the Switch Force universe.
Oh, by the by, since this IS a WayForward property, PLEASE tell me there's a Shantae reference somewhere!

I'm as surprised as you, really. Maybe if I put Patty in SPARTAN armor or made her an open-world gangbanger. You think anyone would notice the difference?
Nah, seriously, though -- in my heart of hearts I sort of knew this was going to have Wonderful 101-levels of reception on release. This is a suuuuper-obscure crossover, and a late one besides. I don't begrudge the more known and better-timed crossover fics one bit.
It's how WayForward actually kind of works, really. The things it works on that are more in the public eye (Contra, Double Dragon, DuckTales, Batman) get them their accolades and followers, but as far as their original works go? Success is a fraction of and you really have to love what you're doing to finish working on something you already know will have a cult (devoted, but tiny) audience at best.
And I love working with Patty and Gen here (and WF as a studio in general), so my goal is mainly to make sure that the fellow WF fans who stumble upon this really end up loving it, because it's mainly for us. (Meanwhile I'll keep doing the bread-and-butter fluff-fics and shipfics!) So thanks for letting me know it's at least on the way to that.
Honestly, MSF doesn't have much publicly known story to speak of at all. You could contain it in two paragraphs, so a lot of my time was spent devising probable scenarios and character aspects around those two paragraphs! See if you can spot the things I completely made up! Hint: It's a lot. As for references, there's already a pretty blatant one to another WF game running around in the currently published text! Keeping mum on any upcomings, though.

As one of those few Wayforward cultists, I'm SO following this.
3365742
Awesome! Welcome to the party!
(And heck, if you know any more, toss 'em over!)
3365807 I'm certainly enjoying your take on Patty in this story. Sort of a cross between Megaman and Lina Inverse.
Chrysalis, Pratchett and Sounder are turning into wonderful renditions of old 80s cartoon villains, too. And Twilight is the most adorkable princess EVER. I just love how much fun is infused into this piece all around.
Oh, and given how Fluttershy acted toward Chrysalis, I'm rubbing my palms together with glee and schadenfreude at the prospect of seeing her once she finds out that Patty kicked a baby out of orbit.

...I can't believe I missed this. Like I was never even told you said this. Gosh I'm sorry FIMFIC NOTIFICATIONS WHAT DO I EVEN TURN YOU ON FOR HUH
Anyway, give the man a prize, because "Megaman+Lina" was the exact combination I had in my mind while I was writing this! Part of me wants to feel bad for being so transparent but heck, at least it means I'm pulling it off well enough!
You're spot-on about the changeling crew, too, and I refuse to not let Twi ever be adorkable, wings be damned.
Thanks for the review! Oh and the baby-kicking will be addressed. Won't say how, though.
3390294 Don't feel bad! I occasionally have moments of freakish insight. I make up for it karmically by being derptacularly oblivious in other areas.
Y'know, I always wanted to see a story involving a space cop crashing in Equestria for some reason. And the fact that it's Mighty Switch Force is double the fun.

Space cops are the best cops.
Because they're from space.
Whoooo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, this is gonna be so much FUN!
Loved Pratchett and Sounder's banter; these two are gonna be the "Bulk and Skull" of this fic, aren't they?
This will be GLORIOUS... I'm already loving this. and it's hilarious. Gendarmor is a great character for a Big guy, polite and intelligent, and Patricia... hooooo boy she looks like a riot!
Wow, I just recently got into this series, I'll check this out. I was not expecting this.
Who would've thought that baby would be so much trouble. Geez. ARE the houligan sister gonna get involved at all?
Keep up the good work
