I do not own MLP, Warhammer 40k, Break Blade, Knights and Magic, or Battletech
Hasbro, Games Workshop, Eight Bit studios, IG Productions, Catalyst Labs owns the series within the story!
Technology. It is the thing of convenience and power built by humans. With it they can change the shape and fate of worlds. With technology, anyone can achieve greatness.
So when mankind's technology from different realities were dropped onto the world of Equestria, who knows what could happen? A queen who grew up surrounded by metal and knowledge will have to unite her fractured species to stand against the Griffons and the Ponies, but perhaps also a far more serious threat in the future.
As they say, Fate is what you make of it.
That and it would be so much easier if the other Changeling Queens just... agreed on something other than 'look a pony! FOOD!' mindset.
Good chapter.
I like the idea of using the Break Blade units as a start and then moving on to Knights and Magic if that's the case, but I have a question, the Knights and Magic units will be as agile as the anime protagonist's or will they be more standard level agility, because even only the main 6 or elit units with that type of mech will be too op, I do not know Battletech but from what little I have seen they are like the Titans, (tell me if I'm wrong)
Great start so far 👍. Can’t wait for the next one.
Love the prologue.
This makes the technological progression feel more natural.
By the time the war begins all the factions will have some form of equivalence due to converging progression.
As for Knights n Magic tech becoming OP, just give them a greater sense of weight, so they are nearly as heavy as Battlemechs (they weight about the same) so this makes all races have about even movement rates.

To address the Knight and magic issue, they do not have an Ernesti Echavalier to assist with the improvement of other system with flying of all things. Remember thar Pegasi exist, so there will be armored airships. And another thing one should note is that I will most likely not see fully implemented knights. Note the difference in attitude of the humans 'gifting' the tech. While Changelings have the advantage of mostly intact machines, the Griffons are dealing with everything wrecked and thrown about. But don't worry. This does not mean the Changelings, Griffins, and Ponies will not have energy weapons as well. Battletech has very versatile and easy to manufacture, imperial tech is also designed for ease of manufacture, and the ponies have magic that can speed up manufacturing.
So what is the big change between the old one and new reboot and you going to add mane six and other characters in this story?

A more sensible progression of technology. Factories aren't built in a day and simply giving the tech without issues didn't make any sense. The Mane Six... Perhaps. The story is primarily about Changelings, so don't expect them to take control of the story.
a bit better in introducing everything
Yes. FINALY, I get to read march of giants again even if it's a reboot

What about add them in POW chapter.

I'm liking the start. And as for some ideas you should watch the first season of the anime Dr. Stone I how they use electricity in the primitive world.
And here some pics/videos for ideas:

As for the Griffions I can see them develops their own version of the Code of Knighthood of Honor in their culture which helps counter their selfish and stubbornness. I can also see using creating/using their own version of knight weaponry like swords, retractable shields, grenades, magic powered muskets, lances/axes, battle armor, etc mix with a little bit of Ops. Similar to Operator 28 from the upcoming fighting game, Cerebrawl here:
And you can find more info on him by searching up him and the game.

So you found that artist too. I was going to follow that for the air corp of equestria
But the cyborg/android pony thing... maybe. Griffons are going to be a lot different than the image you posted, but close...
good chapter, now one thing that displeased me a little in the previous story and that since in the next chapter we will talk a little about griffins, it is their reason for war against the ponies, which in 90% of the stories in fimfiction is "we are griffins, we like war, we go to war "is a bit too classic, it would be nice to have a reason to start it especially that now they are a chivalrous order. For the Changelings you can use the same situation as the previous story with maybe a warning counter to show that they are no longer weak like an attack on a strategic point or military center, however it goes I can't wait to see how it will continue
Amazing chapter, looks like things are starting to take effect. Wonder what that will intel in the future. Either way keep up the great work
certainly more straight forward, than that run around bit in the last attempt
I would have Chyssi fill the role of Kurita or Lao, but her comment makes her seem more fit to be Amaris.

Now, now... No need to tear apart something that's already beginning. I don't want to kill off Chrysalis. I think she'd instead make for a great Word Of Blake-like faction within the main Changeling faction.

Tex has yet to get in to, I know only what he's covered and what is in the harebrained schemes BattleTech and mech warrior 5 games.
11396146
No problem! I only bits of the Blakists, and it's all horrible. But their underhanded tactics do fit Chrysalis to a point.
If you do want to know what the frontline mechs are, you can search Celestial Series Omnimech

Which ever queen you put in a marauder/marauder 2 will be my favorite queen for this story, also the griffons are screwed big time. The 'ling could repair any battlemech in their ship and use them and the knowledge handed to them, the griffs were told to fuck off and if they do fix any knights (heavy/assault) or armigers (light/medium) the machine spirit would not allow them to be used by a filthy fucking xeno. The only chance the griffins have in my eyes is if the can out produce the the changelings in mechs. Have no clue if the ponies are using any thing specific, but they seem to be fucked if either group focused on them before the other.

Yes, both the Griffins and ponies will be disadvantaged. That can't be denied. But if you watch an anime movie called "Steam Boy", you'd understand why I am having the Griffons go into that part of tech. Also, the ponies do have that advantage of weather control (To a degree), magic, and having far more territory to draw resources from.
looking as good as the original
Can you add images of the mech in the author’s notes? I still new to battle tech as a fan and I know there a lot of mechs. Also I would like to offer up my oc in a locust.
any update on the next chapter :3 ?
Even after nearly two years since this story came out, it’s still pretty good! A shame it hasn’t been updated for quite some time, but oh well. Hope your doing alright, wherever you are
