This story is a sequel to Friendship is More Than Meets the Eye
A G1 Transformers/G4 Pony crossover.
Twilight Sparkle had thought she'd seen the last of Grimlock- and of the Transformers in general. She was wrong. Now, what starts as a simple diplomatic mission soon spirals out of control as an ancient war threatens to come to Equestria!
Okay, this is interesting/a really good start. No real typos I can see, and rather glad to see actual communication going on. Please, PLEASE no killing off of Optimus Prime either, okay?
5670566 Oh don't be such a baby, Prime will just come back after a few chapters/episodes next season tops. It's like his superpower.
5670841 It's an incredibly overused trope/cliche that shows up way too often and at this point is almost there just to be 'there'.
5670871 I don't mind it if it's for a good reason (Unavoidable/Not Prime showing a martyr complex.) that doesn't have any plot holes, or if it's tastefully lampshaded.
So since Galvatron and Optimus Prime are both around at the same time and this is stated to be G1 cartoon continuity I assume this is Post-Hate Plague. I know that a lot of people interpreted that Galvatron got some of his sanity back since he stands down and withdraws after being purified by the Matrix. A somewhat rational Galvatron is a much more credible threat given how much magical oomph Equestria is packing. On the other servo a still totally bugnuts Galvy has so much potential for hilarity.
5670871 Ots gotten to the pint where his beast modes should be Phoenix's, not gorillas or lions.

Well shoot, guess I have to re-write that video game chapter now.
5676128
Better remove that floppy disk too...Not like Hi-Q and Genrai have anything to add to conversation...
I like it.
5686132 O_O ummmmm that's um just. . .that's a ship.
5687620
Well, I'm not going to say BEST ship, but it's up there, as crossovers go.
Thank you. Thank you so god damned much for leaving Wheelie far away.
I don't under stand 'shipping Optimus and Celestia, but okay. I seriously hope bashing of the Canterlot populace is kept to a minimum, too. Nice crew, there.
I'm a bit confused by the continuity here. Does this story follow the continuity of one of the Transformers comics instead of the cartoon show?

I've been using a rather loose take on G1 Cartoon Continuity- sometime vaguely post 'The Return of Optimus Prime.' Technically, Bumblebee should be Goldbug at this point, but I'm fudging it because 'Bee is more recognizable.
5746692 Okay, thank you for explaining that.
Uh this capter is identical to chapter 3, except it has the section with perceptor.
5750079
Ya what he said.
5750079
Fixed! I accidentally submitted the chapter twice, as it didn't look like it registered the first time around.
Decepticons!
Very nice chapter and meetings, here. Still don't see how Optimus and Celestia can work... but that's me. I'm not sure I 'ship Celestia with anyone, actually.
Pinkie is... you know.
Grimlock X Luna OTP
anyone else feel a shiping storm coming?
more chapters please
next chapter please
Okay, nice work with Bumblebee there. :) I'll think of Dash's contributions as mosquito bites. ;)
Galvatron... I doubt even your armor's gonna last against Celestia if/when she cuts loose.
I know that this is supposed to be a different continuity than the Transformers cartoon, hence why we have Bumblebee instead of Goldbug, but it really bugs me that Optimus calls this a new low when I'd say Megatron/Galvatron have done things far lower, such as kidnapping dozens of humans and making them brain-washed slaves/ meat shields, and pretending to surrender and using an Autobot as a shield to shoot Optimus repeatedly.
Well, shit. . .

You've got a point- I was just in a vaguely 80's ish kind of mood as I was writing this, so it seemed like a fitting line. I might go tweak it later.
I gotta agree with 5949114 here. I'm fairly certain a lot of people were outright killed during the Decepticons' rampages throughout the series, too.
Also, Celestia winning that argument was just odd, since she steamrolled over Prime yet I also agree with her. Meh. I loved Laserbeak knocking her out. Brought a dark chuckle to me. :p
I get that this story is supposed to feel like a G1 cartoon episode and is paced as such. Even then though it feels like things are happening too fast with character interactions and development coming across as token and rushed.
If there's a sequel maybe it could be slower paced with more focus on pony-autobot interactions.
Oh, so Trypticon has arrived?
No problem, have Perceptor hack the Space Bridge (if there is enough charge left) and call fort Metroplex.
Shhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
gentlemen, the ship has set sail.
Admittedly, cyclopean can mean massive in stature, I think a different word should be used since it seems to indicate that Trypticon has only one eye when that's not the case. The animators of the original series just consistently mess up colouring the eyes, and in Starscream's Ghost and other episodes, they state Trypticon has eyes.
Eh, he got beat every time in the cartoon. Trypticon's a big pushover. :p
No their screwed. Get it? Because their robots?
Personality wise... DiscoTryp bromance forever.

Aw Scrap
"Sh*t! Those stupid decepticon kidnapped my love...I mean my best friend princess celestia. I'm going to save her, whatever it takes" Optimus Prime transformed into track mode and roll out.

Galvatron being an idiot means he utterly underestimates organics.
Like an alicorn who literally slapped Unicron with the sun.

I mean, we're talking Galvatron here, the Decepticon who not only tops Starscream for tightest grip on the idiot ball, but regularly runs it the wrong way to score for the other team.
Of course, the one thing that can save him is in play here....
...almost four years without a new chapter!
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment since it’s been 5 years since your last update, but have you checked the new comic series and graphic novel announced today called “friendship in Disguise”? Yes, it’s a MLP & Tranformers official crossover... either you can tell the future, or that’s one helluva coincidence...
Almost 6 years now. Has the author's spark been extinguished?
