To be honest, I was actually a bit apprehensive about this fic because I don't tend to like crossovers. You're off to a good start, though, and I look forward to reading more You've certainly got the TCB-verse ponies' personalities down pat.

On a final note, I had this song playing in my head during TCB-Celestia's scene.

EDIT: Oh, one problem I noticed...

"'At the very least they could've put us in a room with a bit more flair or style!” She rolled her eyes and grunted. 'Honestly, would it hurt to add a little color to this place?'

Applejack glanced over. “Yah realize most of them here wear less clothes than we do,'"

Applejack's reply doesn't really seem to make sense. Rarity complained about the decor, then Applejack said they didn't wear many clothes. I don't really see how the two are related.

EDIT 2: "Celestia scrapped a hoof"

Should be "scraped."

Looking good!

Now I want to see how the true EoH view the "corrupted" ones (TCB).

Interesting. You've definitely caught my attention.

They were lucky not to encounter Decepticons.

AWWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH! Keep it up!

Can't wait for the next chapter. This should be a very interesting story.

Why did you have all of humanity converted ?

cant wait for the next chapte

Autobot City, aka Metroplex, eh? So is this pre- or post- movie/Season 3? If pre-season 3, is it set in the lost year between Unicron's defeat and the first part of Five Faces of Darkness? If pre-movie, how long till the Decepticon assault? If set during season 3, is it before or after The Return of Optimus Prime? I sincerely doubt it would be set directly post Five Faces of Darkness, since Dark Awakening, which featured zombie Optimus, was in it and that was only three eps past Five Faces of Darkness....though I could see Celestia trying to cut a deal with the Quintessons and have both of them planning to backstab the other. There's also one other issue I'm curious about. From all indications, this is set in the continuity of the G1 cartoon, but will there be elements of the comics, such as Primus, and further exploration of the Matrix and its powers? In the G1 cartoon, it had some pretty interesting abilities and in the novels based on the G1 universe (Hardwired by Scott Ciencin, and Annihilation and Fusion by David Cian respectively, all three set in a singular shared story universe based off the G1 TV show, from what I can tell, though the trilogy is also linked to the Dreamwave comics based on the G1 TV continuity) and the comics and novels based on the G1 cartoon, they explored that quite a bit, to say nothing of Marvel's G1 comics, which were very different from the cartoon, and really expanded on the Matrix and Primus and the like.

Good stuff so far, and I'm faving this. I also have read the Elements of Harmony and Savior of Worlds on Fanfiction.net and faved it there. Planning to do the same here as well. Can't wait to see the next chapter of this!

(Yes I'm a G1 nerd. I have no shame about it.)

Honestly, the whole humans-forcibly-converted-to ponies thing is a major turn off, and gets rid of any sympathy for the ponies right off the bat.

  I do not care that Celestia is a god, converting humanity would not work from what I know of us.  And if they keep up their multiversal conquest spree, the will run into an earth that is ready for them.  And the ponies will be  Bolostomped.  And all the time, I will be cheering on the humans.

Other than that, it seems very well written.

poor ponies they are going to lose so bad

looks like evil!celestia tyranny with the TBC is about to be megastomped by autobots!! sweet!

I personally am hoping this fic is set at a point where Optimus is alive. Cause he would so completely curbstomp Tyrant!Celestia so hard. SO. fucking. Hard. The frightening thing is that compared to tyrant!Celestia, MEGATRON actually comes off as benevolent by comparison. His credo of Peace Through Tyranny doesn't extend to forcibly turning humans into some other species, at the very least. He actually has something resembling morals and ethics. Yes, yes, I know this is the leader of the Decepticons we're talking about, but even when he became Galvatron and went batshit insane, he still had certain morals and lines even he wouldn't cross. And remember, we're talking about a guy who more than once attempted genocide in an attempt to either conquer Earth and/or Cybertron at various points in his life, or just the universe in general, and even then he still comes off as more respectable than tyrant!Celestia does in this fic so far.

Looking forward to more.

You have my full support in the war against the tyrant and her mind wiped subjects.

Psychotic TCB-verse ponies vs Hasbro crossover-verse ponies and friends? I can dig it.

Fuck yeah.

Keep this up dude

Optimas Please be here because only you can tear celestai to pieces and make it awesome!!!!

>>712083712083 You said it.

UP DATE!!!!!!

>>746625746625

He said we'd be getting the next chapter sometime next week.

What happened to the image in here for the Autobot insignia though?

>>750878750878 Ya I was wondering about that to. What did happen to it?

>>752011752011

If I knew, I wouldn't have asked!

>>752915752915 Well you dont have to be rude

>>753840753840

Wasn't trying to be. I was trying to be funny. Sorry about that.

TCB - Crossover? Interesting.

So, Celestia really think that she can conquer all alternative Earths? BUAHAHAHAHA!!! She is so fucked now. Really fucked. Heh, let's see how they can handle with alternate realities, where people live not only on Earth.

>>756382756382

A post-ME3 Galaxy and TCB universe crossover would be interesting...

>>711120711120you forget that there are two sets of ponies. the TCB versions and the good versions. were supposed to chear when the good guys beat them like crazy.

>>756382756382 you are now imagining tyrantlestia and her subjects coming to the 41st millenium.

>>759152759152

>you are now imagining tyrantlestia and her subjects coming to the 41st millenium.

They'll get curbstomped in the first chapter.

I was really baffled at first when I read this was a sequel to Savior of Worlds before I realized the Celestia responsible for TCB mess was from an alternate dimension.  I have to admit, I do look forward to the true Celestia and company telling Tyrant Celestia and the deranged TCB ponies where to stick it.  

Updaaaaaaaaate

I await the next chapter. I really hope this updates as fast as possible. I can't wait to see the Autobots....and maybe even the Decepticons (even they would find The Solar Tyrant disgusting. As TVTropes says, Even Evil Has Standards) curbstomp the fuck out of the TCB!ponies.

>>708243708243 Yeah, crossovers carry their own special brand of... 'not sure if want'. Sadly appropriate song, there. And thanks, corrected.

>>708555708555 That will come, eventually. Not gonna be pretty, that's for sure.

>>710030710030 Hope you enjoy.

>>710200710200 'Cons might only appear in a... different role than what some might expect.

>>710385710385 Thanks, and I'll try.

>>710442710442 Hopefully this week. Cross your transistors!

>>710532710532 Sadly, that is the conversion Bureau. They care not for us, not as we are.

>>710794710794 thanks, and hopefully coming.

>>711031711031 This actually takes place in 2012. And don't worry. I'm a bit of a TF geek as well. As in having watched the series back in 1984 itself. As for Marvel, yeah. it's almost a given that there's some cross-franchise-pollination with Transformers. Although the primary is from G1 animated. And glad you liked 'Elements of harmony and Savior of Worlds', too.

>>711120711120 Not too fond of TCB-Equestria myself. Don't worry, they'll get theirs.

>>712083712083 You have no idea...

>>713727713727 And humans, and Equestrian ponies a lot closer to canon than insane TCB-things.

>>714491714491 Optimus is indeed alive and well. As for Megatron, well... *Sees insane galvatron* Yeah, not so good for the Decepticons in this particular fan-verse.

>>714816714816 Well, against the Tyrant and the original TCB-ponies. The other ones must be pitied, saved if possible... released if necessary.

>>722839722839 Thanks, Shaft. ;)

>>724557724557 I shall try!

>>730619730619 He will not be alone.

>>746625746625 Apologies. A bit of real life happened this week.

>>752011752011 Again, y apologies, as per my blog post on the subject, this week was a bit rough for me.

>>756382756382 yeah, this one is almost a mercy compared to others she might meet.

>>757222757222 I've... actually never played any of Mass Effect. I know very little of it.

>>780462780462 There will be multiple 'reason you suck' speeches. Megan will be giving the TCB-ponies one.

>>788097788097 Sorry, sorry...

>>789935789935 Not much with the 'Cons. They're busy splintering.

Okay, as my blog post mentioned, I had a bit of problems this week with my therapy session and talking with my mother about it, as well as the radical change in my schedule beginning soon. I have some of the next chapter written out and can restart on writing it tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.

>>798460798460

Sorry to hear about the therapy problems and all, hope things work out on that front.

Interesting note on Galvatron. The implication is that when Optimus used the Matrix to cure the Hate Plague, he also cured Galvatron of his insanity. If you look at the planning Galvatron put into his attempt to destroy Cybertron and Earth...that comes off as much more like a plan Megatron would pull. Galvatron was never that good at planning after he was submerged in plasma on Thrull. Genocidal? Yeah. But at that point I think Galvatron was pretty well at the point of launching a 'scorched earth' attack because he was fed up with the Autobots and humans getting in his way all the time.

2012, huh? Nice. Does that mean you're going off anything from the Japanese continuation of G1? They went a lot further in G1 than we did. They also retconned the three part finale, too.

Ponies and Autobots...I'm digging this.  I've always imagined that Celestia and Optimus would get along very well.  

>>798460798460

Takes place in 2012? That means that it is post Nebulos! Does this mean that we will be seeing Powermaster Optimus Prime and Hi-Q or is he Laser Optimus Prime by now?

>>711120711120 Better: An Earth where they knew about Multiverse Travelling. They would erradicate Celestia and the invaders... And then EXTERMINATE and CLEANSE the other Earths (the ones that had fallen to the TCB ponies)....

MOST SATISFATORY

>>809327809327

Oh, like one of the colony/resource worlds of Centrum or Infinity?

>>809933809933 DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER

>>711120711120

or they will run into the IOM

I just thought of something: Rarity + Tracks = javascript:smilie('');

IT WOULD BE THE WAR OF THE FABULOUS ONES!

I have never read any of the Conversion Bureau fics, and I have no idea how to find the original.

That said, I will be watching this with interest.

>>828094828094 Here it is. conveniently located on FIMfiction

Just wait until Rainbow Dash meets Warpath or Powerglide.

IT BEGINS.

>>831837831837 Or any of the Arierail Bots for that matter. Wonder what Twilight and Dash will think of Skyfire.

YAY UPDATE.

whats this about twilight having a human friend i thought they had already converted the humans

or are these ponies from a universe that arnt disgusted with humans

When the TCB-fags (not sorry for saying that) get here, the Autobots, the Elements and Humanity are gonna woop their hides.

>>831897831897 These are the true Elements from Hasbro-verse, not the TCB-fags.

>>831902831902 ahhh that makes sense hmmmm methinks this is going to be interesting

I'm imagining Spike imagining himself in Mario's outfit with Twilight as a Yoshi, Rariy as Princess Peach, and Diamond Dogs as the enemies.

>>831923831923 That... Makes SO much sense.

>>831879831879

You mean the heavily armored spaceship scientist who got absolutely no respect and was never seen again after the episode "Day of the Machines"?

Nothing really happened. The Main 6 walked an additional 20 feet in a tour, talked to a walking microscope, and Spike played Mario.

Im confused I thought the ponies wanted to convert thehumans. What happened.

>>831986831986

There are different versions of Equestria in this story, the Conversion Bureau version and the ones from the author's other story: The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds. Needless to say, when the two meet they're not going to get along well.

>>832038832038 Ok I get it now. But when will this be up dated again because I need to know very badly SO TELL ME!!!

>>831986831986 ahh, these are the GOOD ponies, the originals. the one's your thinking of will come later. you'll be able to recognize them when they act like a coloring book version of the national socialist party.

>>831972831972

And that's awesome.

Still, perhaps there could be a disclaimer mentioning which set of Elements is which. I thought the Elements we saw in the first chapter (second part) were the ones from the TCB'verse.

On another note, anyone want to see Galvatron fight TCB!Celestia?

>>832114832114 I do, but i think we can go higher.

Unicron vs. Celestia.

it's highly unlikely, but i still want to see it.

>>832114832114

yes so much yes

and I can hear son's (or daughters) of fate playing when the good elements fight the bad ones

>>832127832127

Well, yes, TCB!Celestia vs. the Transformers equivalent of Satan and Galactus' robot baby would be hilarious and delicious like sweet, delicious candy, I believe that curbstomps are less entertaining than pitched battle.

Plus, a battle that TCB!Celestia loses in this fic, especially against a threat like Unicron, would probably result in the total destruction (and consumption) of the Earth.

... I'm not kidding anyone, am I. What the hell, LET'S DO IT!

Enjoyed the update, but was a little disappointed that we didn't see what the TCB!Ponies have been up to.

Also, since this is like some sort of quasi-sequel to another of your stories that isn't even finished yet... Reading updates to THAT one is going to be weird.

Time shenanigans.

>>832181832181

Well, if you read carefully, you can try to pick out spoilers for the series... unless this takes place out of continuity with the main story in a separate universe...

Spinoffs are confusing.

>>832044832044

When I finish editing it.

>>832448832448

There's a couple, but nothing that hasn't already been revealed EoH&SoW. I've got my eye out for them.

Nice update! Though i have to admit, I want to see what those douchebag TCB ponies are up to.

Perceptor and Doctor Whooves. . . . .  BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!  That is all

>>832988832988 pleaase edit quickly and you rock

Not as confusing as you might first think. Either way, I'm glad that this was updated. I picked Perceptor out almost instantly from the description, and I love how he talks almost exactly the way I remember from the days of G1. I'm curious about how Prime and Celestia's meeting went. That would be a meeting I'd love to have been a proverbial fly on the wall for. So all things considered, this seems to take place sometime after Rebirth or something doesn't it? If that's the case, I wanna know how the ponies will react to the Headmasters and Targetmasters.

Come to think of it, I'd love to see how the TCB!ponies react to them. The melding of flesh and machine, and all...

>>832152832152

>>832127832127

Hate to rain on your parade but Unicron is currently a very grumpy floating head somewhere in space. He ain't got no body!

Careful...

I smell a shitstorm ahead.

>>833604833604

I do, but I generally wait for RK to finish it first.

Oh, wait, you wanted a time when it would be done? Oops. How could I have gotten that confused?

>>831923831923 then who is luigi?

>>833964833964

Yes, yes, he probably is... in THIS timeline.

However, we're discussing a robot chaos god vs. an imperialistic tyrant sun empress in pony form. I don't think it's out of the question to assume that Unicron might have his body back in this theoretical matchup.

>>834861834861

Okay, I can get behind a theoretical match-up. It would be rather one sided though. She might be an immortal goddess of the sun but Unicron eats suns.

>>836129836129

Uh... no he doesn't. He eats planets. However, I am in agreement that the matchup is vastly one-sided in Unicron's favor- there's only so much you can do to something that is actively consuming a world. Plus, failing to DIRECTLY kill her, he could probably just have Galvatron and his Unicron-modified 'Cons launch bombardment on Equestria.

Most descriptions of the Barrier are that nothing human or human-made can touch it. This brings up an interesting set of questions:

1) Do human subspecies (Neanderthals, Homo Erectus, etc) count as human, or can they pass through?

2) Do aliens count? Can they and/or their tech pass through?

3) Could a catapult firing rocks get the rocks through?

4) Could lasers go through, since most show the barrier as semi-transparent?

>>836444836444

That's actually a bit of a misconception. Planets, moons, stars, Unicron will eat just about anything considering he is waging a war on all of reality. If it's part of existance, it's on his dinner plate to power is corporeal form.

As for your questions

1 & 2) This can easily be answered that the barrier is probably easily modified by the caster. If they weren't before, they soon will be.

3) This is an interesting question and I think the rocks might get through, but considering the size of Equestria I doubt you would hit anything too

interesting. Ramp it up to having the space capable Autobots dropping meteorites on their heads and you have a winner.

4) Considering that in other stories nuclear weapons have been tried and have had no effect, the barrier my have some way to disperse high energy

weapons

Never really grew up with Transformers, but I already like Perceptor.

And I can totally imagine Spike liking video games

OK, I just finished reading "The Elements of Harmony and the Savior of Worlds".

Now I wait with impatience when those evil, xenophobic ponies will meet with good, liking humans ponies. Plus Autobots, GI Joe and !MEGAN! and !DANNY! and !MOLLY!

Damn, TCB-genocide-ponies are so scewed. So very, very screwed.

Quick, next update!

>>833624833624, I thought the Transformers were pure machine?

>>841390841390

They are, but in the third season of Generation One, they displayed the ability to combine with flesh and blood beings via specialized exo-suits in a process called Binary Bonding. It resulted in the Headmasters, Targetmasters and, in the toyline, the Powermasters.

>>798631798631 It has been, thanks. Yeah, that's a good way to look at Galvy in 'The Rebirth'. I agree with that. But he's not showing up, here. By now the Decepticons have fractured and aren't doing too well. And nope, nothing much from the Japanese continuities.

>>801113801113 I think they did.

>>804005804005 Sorry, but neither. I prefer G1 Prime as G1 Prime. No need for him to get a super mode. He's awesome enough as is, IMHO.

>>821677821677 "Darling, your lines are fabulous! That coat of yours is most superb!"

"Why thank you, and your paint job is divine, Mister Tracks!"

>>828094828094 I tried some of them... just so misanthropic. Humans can be bastards... and we can be saints. What a concept, eh?

>>831897831897This is a sequel to another fic of mine where another version of Equestria met up with an Earth and they became allies. The TCB-ponies see this and are not... pleased.

>>832038832038 Understatement of the year, there.

>>831972831972 Sorry you see it that way. I introduced a character that will be vital to later chapter, tied in with the previous fic and foreshadowed some events happening. I also introduced two other characters that will be important.

>>832044832044 Shubzilla is an awesome proofreader. He gets it to me and gets it good.

>>832114832114 Next chapter I'll make sure to include differences. The TCB-ponies will have 'Dark' before their names. Dark Celestia, Dark Ditzy, Dark Twilight... Thanks for that.

>>832181832181 Next chapter for that. Dark Celestia will not be pleased, lemme say that. And it's... pretty much a sequel now. But it takes place a year later, so plenty of time for my other projects with this universe, like changelings!

>>832988832988 And you did a great job, thanks. And don't worry about spoilers for the prequel. They're gonna leak in methinks. It's how I roll.

>>833124833124 Thanks, and next chapter.

>>833535833535 Ah, you got it! Good! I might write that meeting, actually.

>>833624833624 I actually have a plan for an anthology series called 'Side Stories of Hasbro Earth', and that would be the first story. And thanks. I love Perceptor. He's a geek, but also awesome. As the -Masters, I think the TCB-ponies would have aneurysms. The RB-ponies would be shocked... And then Twilight would want to become a Headmaster. We all know she would, too.

>>834485834485 Good thing I have a bad sense of smell... ;)

>>836444836444 here, the barrier stops humans and human-made objects. Autobots can pass through... but Celestia has a counter for that.

>>837129837129 Other stories... maybe not this one, though.

>>840926840926 Thanks, and it's coming.

>>841417841417 Next chapter I'll make sure to include differences. The TCB-ponies will have 'Dark' before their names. Dark Celestia, Dark Ditzy, Dark Twilight... Thanks for that.

Umm, can i offer some advice? (That you can ignore if you want.)

I know the conversion bureau is an abomination of a story, and that the fans who believe the ponies are in the right for destroying humanity are the sort of people my friend says "would fanatically defend the Third Reich if Hitler had a picture of Rarity somewhere on his person." but the whole 'dark' thing doesn't sound like a good idea.

My advice is instead of using 'dark' you could do something like this*: use 'Universe A' for the human friendly ponies, and use 'Universe 1' for the TCB verse.

Again, just my advice because the whole dark thing sounds like it's from that one book from the star wars expanded universe.

*Idea shamelessly stolen from futurama.

There do exist TCB stories which are not horrible, but they are rare indeed. (Some rely on the premise that the Barrier is a spontaneous phenomenon, and expanding outside anyone's control. Sooner or later, it'll inevitably consume all of Earth, and the only way that the sapient beings native to the planet can survive crossing it is if they're transformed into one of the sapient races native to Equestria. They might feature pony Action Scientists and Adventure Archaeologists setting out to record and preserve as much of humanity's accomplishments as possible, or examine a character who would rather die than give up his humanity from a sympathetic light. Other not-horrible TCB stories treat the Barrier as a static portal, and feature humans and ponies working side by side.)†

In any case, comparing "mainline" TCB to Nazis is horribly apt, and I look forward to them getting what's coming to them.

†: Note that I may be combining good facets of a variety of only slightly less-horrible TCB stories (one with a spontaneous Barrier, one with pony Rescue Curators, etc) into a tale that doesn't technically exist; my memory is bizarrely hazy. If it doesn't exist, it should be written.

>>841417841417

I'm not saying have it be "Dark Twilight said "Blah Blah Blah,"" so much as, I don't know... clearer scene divisions? Like, for example:

REALITY 45898

EQUESTRIA

CANTERLOT CASTLE

"Celestia contemplated how evil she was with her evilness."

Or even

TCB UNIVERSE

I'm just saying... actually, not sure what I'm saying. I should not respond to comments at 1:30 AM.

>>841417841417

Nothing much huh? Interesting qualifier. What, if anything, will be coming in from the comics and toylines then, I wonder?

An update, awesome! I admit, I was confused at first, but the I read through the comments and realized what was going on. I guess I'll have to read Savior of Worlds.

>>842368842368, I think the "dark" descriptor is better. Universe A, Universe B, etc, sounds awkward.

Besides, the TCB ponies as depicted here strike me as xenophobic conquerors - not a group you'd associate with heroic - or for that matter, morally grey.

>>872320872320 Velkaden, any depiction of TCB ponies that's not a parody or deconstruction is of xenophobic conquerors.

And the Verse A, Verse B thing may be awkward but the dark thing doesn't seem much better. If not my idea, then RK could go with >>842942842942s'

http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=5&q=prime+time#/d58jrsb

Just gonna leave this here.

>>973401973401

Said it before, and I'll say it again: this is my new Headcanon for the wedding. Not just because of prime, but because of actual flaws with the episode that- wait, sorry, was getting into "Rant Mode," there.

What is this? MLP, Transformers and GI Joe vs TCB?

This I gotta see.

Oooh boy,  This is not going to end well.

Apparently, first!

Someone better call they true Celestia Luna and true elemants, looks like we have a situation...

I'd love to teach these conquerer ponies the joy of love and tolerance via autocannons.

>>842792842792 Option Gamma is supposed to be be about a TCB universe where the ponies aren't evil. It's mostly about being converted into a griffon but the background includes things like Celestia funding research into space exploration as an alternative to ponification.

I don't think I've seen a straight TCB fic where the *ponies* were evil as opposed to Celestia being ridiculously arrogant. Chatoyance's stuff, for example, no pony knows the barrier was done on purpose except Celestia.

...who totally did it on purpose.

...and added the brainwashing to the potion as a version-2 'improvement' because the naive transformation left humans unchanged mentally. Also a secret from everypony.

IT BEGINS

Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when I heard the descriptions of the Equestrian Tanks is "Leman Russ"?

Image: http://www.monkeyboobies.com/gallery/d/221-2/drive+me+closer_+i+want+to+hit+them+with+my+sword.png

GLORIOUS.

OK sir, listen and listen carefully. This is your mission: you must kill that fucking TCB-abominations!!!  

REJECT IT!

And have Optimus show up and be like

"AW HELL NAW!"

So....moar nao pls.
