Friendship In Disguise - Blog Posts

Here are some drawings I did of different versions Optimus Prime, plus some versions of Orion Pax as MLP changelings. They were inspired by the MLP/Transformers crossover comic, Friendship in Disguise. They are the G1, Armada, Transformers Animated (2007), Transformers Prime, EarthSpark, Bishoujo , and Transformers One versions of Optimus Prime. These are just rough ideas I had for MLP designs for Optimus Prime, none of these are finalized. I may change details on finalized full drawings. I’m most likely only going finish my full body TFA drawing of him, although if I feel like it I may eventually get around to making a full body MLP version of the G1 version, not sure though. He was fun to come up with possible design ideas though.

Bonus My Little Prime drawing I did. I also used the My Little Prime toy as a bit of inspiration for my changeling drawings of Optimus.

I finally got around to finishing it!

Here’s MLP versions of Transformers’ Bumblebee as a changeling and a zebra.

These drawings are primarily based on the G1 version of Bumblebee, although I did take a little inspiration from some of the other versions of him. I’ve been wanting to draw MLP/changeling versions of some of the Transformers characters after rereading the MLP/Transformers crossover comics, Friendship in Disguise. In particular due to Queen Chrysalis’s attempt to summon changelings from other worlds is what resulted in the Transformers originally going to the MLP, and when beings come through the human/Equestria Girls world portals they become MLP creatures. So I thought it would be fun to apply that portal/transformation magic to the Transformers. Overall it was fun coming up with MLP designs for the Transformers, I’ll probably do more whenever I get more ideas.

Here’s Rainbow Dash and a changeling version of Transformers’ Windblade flying together. This was inspired by the crossover comic, My Little Pony/Transformers: Friendship in Disguise.

Here’s Windblade from Transformers as a changeling and as a pegasus.

After rereading some MLP comics I have, specifically, My Little Pony/Transformers: Friendship in Disguise!, I was inspired to draw some transformers as MLP characters. And in the comic, Queen Chrysalis attempted to summon more changelings from other worlds, which is what results in the transformers ending up in the MLP world. Now, normally when other beings enter the MLP world, they became a being that was native to that world, example: Equestria Girls. So, I thought that when the transformers were summoned by Chrysalis trying to summon more changelings, therefore the transformers probably should have turned into changelings. But I know they probably didn’t do that to better promote the crossover comic, and it would be a lot of effort to design all those characters.

Overall, I found the crossover fun, even though I’m far more familiar with MLP than Transformers. I quite liked Rainbow Dash and Windblade hanging out together. And while I do have some other design ideas for MLP versions of transformers, mainly Transformers: Animated (2007) inspired ones, Windblade was the first one I managed to settle on and finished. I think she turned out quite well.
