Dude, I really don't care if you're a brony. I could care less, just please, keep those "things" away.
Okay, seriously, they're plastic toys, not the Plague. Aren't you a little old to still believe in cooties?

I actually like the show, I watch it with my daughter. I just found that I was liking the show more than she did and that's an issue when your raising a child. Someone has to be the parent. I can see dedicating your life to that fandom if you dont have a family, but I do and I have to put them before ponies or even Transformers.

And that's fine. It's entirely possible to still be a fan of something and have reservations. Not all Bronies let the franchise dominate their lives, just as not all Transformers fans let the Transformers run their lives.

I came back to Tranformeser cause the transformers fans are not as obsessive and all encompassing as Bronies. There are some Bronies that is all their life is Ponies. There is no room for anything else, and they have a misguided sense that that is all there is to life.
I'm not that hardcore and never will be. Transformers fans I can at least talk about other things with besides Transformers. Whenever the Hub posts ANYTHING on their status, hordes of Bronies will flood the thread with ponies this and ponies that.
Heck during the Aurora shooting, Bronies could not stop being a fan for one second to act like humans and observe a little respect for the victims. No they still had to post ponies this and ponies that about people who died in the theater shooting!
In the end I realized I lacked the qualifications to be a Brony, I have a life. xD

Apologies for the late post. And that wasn't every brony, btw. Not everyone in the fandom is a blabbering obsessive with no life. Just as not all of us Transfans are blabbering obsessives. In every fandom there's extremes. Us Bronies just happen to garner more attention for it, due the unusual nature of the fandom. And it doesn't help we're a completely internet-generated community. There's bound to be more depraved and/or obsessive skidplates abound.

Minor out.

I meant the Unicron of their universe.

I have been watching Prime, so I know very well that the Unicron in the Prime universe is Earth.

Why would I bother voting when it's abundantly obvious that there is no contest? When my little ponies can turn into something, I'll care.

Not sure if this makes me a Brony, but one night when I couldn't sleep, I was browsing Youtube and found some MLP eps. Before I knew it, I've gone through half the first season.

I've no intention of ever buying the toys or seeing anything MPL-related on my shelf, but the show was strangely addictive. Reminds me a lot of recent Japanese "slice of life" anime featuring school girls, such as Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star and K-On!.

Never bothered to start a Facebook or Twitter, but I'm rooting for TF's.

Pretty sure you need to have bought MLP related item to qualify.
And I'd take Azumanga Daioh over MLP anyday. No matter how corny it is...and yes, I've seen a few episode of it.

So, no, I don't think you classify as a brony.

Yeah, Azumanga Daioh, while kinda corny and stereotypical, was funny in an adult-oriented kind of way. MLP was a little too child-oriented and "syrupy" for my tastes. Wait, is that what rainbows taste like? :lol:

That said, Fluttershy would make a great counterpart to Sakaki, personality-wise. :-?

If the characters were humans I may actually watch it. But thats never gonna happen is it?

Also, I have MLP fan art in my DeviantArt favorites, but only because they're either humanized in most of them and in others where they're not humanized there's A GIANT BATTLEMECH TAKING UP AT LEAST 75% OF THE PICTURE!!!!!!!!

There's 2 things you just can't argue with.
1. Cute girls
2. Giant Robots!

In a way, the characters could have been any other kind of animal, and it'd still be the same show. They just happened to be horses (and dragons, wolves, griffins, chimeras, and other mythical beasts).

Though, this applies the FIM show. The older ones can all go crawl into a hole and fade into obscurity since their time is well over and done. Maybe the 80s one can at least be a nostalgic retro thing for women who grew up on it, but that ain't the Brony crowd (which Wal-Mart is too dumb to realize). >:oP

The pony toys have been getting better lately, but even the best MLP toy doesn't compete with even the worst Transformer toy. This isn't even a competition.

Posted: **Thu Oct 25, 2012 10:46 am**

Transformers vs My little ponies?!?
argh where's megatron when you need him? :KREMZEEK:

voted for MLP hehe

Well, as a 34-year old male who rather enjoys G1, no. It's not as good as FIM, but it's not that bad either.

Trust me, while there may be Bronies here, there aren't enough to overthrow the theme of this site being Transformers. ED started as an MLPFIM site; I can't see this site changing into one without Ryan either doing it himself or turning the reins of the site over to another who makes the change instead of him.

Besides, most of the Seibertronian Bronies only speak of MLP in topics or situations that pertain to MLP, like in this topic. The rest of the time, it's Transformers first, and non-TF stuff in the lower-tiered General Discussion Forum.

TL;DR I had to call bullshit on your attitude.

NOT ALL BRONIES ARE ANNOYING TROLLS THAT WILL PONIFY EVERTYTHING EVERYWHERE.

I'm a hardcore brony. I DO love the MLP FIM ponies. I'm also a hardcore Transformers fan. Transformers fan can be annoying too you know.
Anyway, I rarely make a pony reference here. When I'm here, I talk Transformers. When I'm on a pony site, I talk Pony.
Still there's one thing I will not accept is someone to jump me just because I mention ponies slightly in a very casual way. I love them, many love them, the fandom will be there for a very long while.

You'll have to deal with it.

Sure, feel free to hate the pony trolls who spam ponies everywhere on a whim. But please dont put us normal bronies in the same boat as the trolls.

One amusing note: Transformers are hated on the pony picture site Ponibooru. Why? I dunno. It's sad really. Can't we just get along?

MEGATRON!!!!! NUUUUUUU!!!!!

I don't care who's a brony on here. My main problem lies with the show and those naff toys.

As long as the bronies don't troll, I won't have a problem.

At the risk of sounding cliché, give MLP FiM a chance. It's a very awesome show.
However, the toys are indeed pretty bad. Usually not show accurate at all and zero point of articulations. The toys defenders could argue that the target audience is the 5yo+ girls so that's why the toys are that way... but I'll point out that 90% of the Transformers toys have a target audience of 5yo+ boys. We all perfectly know how awesome the TF toys are. In a way, the MLP toys are still stuck in G1.

So, that's why I voted for Transformers because the poll is about the WHOLE line.
I'm a brony, yes, but I just hope the poll will not be infected by the brony vote. Some fanboys cannot see clearly. I wish that every bronies who voted for the MLP toys will be flooded with G1 toys and merchandise. It's what they WANT, right?

Also, voted cardboard box. The cardboard box cannot be beaten.

Bat,
Can i just say that reading your posts and watching the evolution of your custom figures has made me LOL and put a smile on my face. I felt extremely sad reading about Scrawpsome's demise, but just as happy he got the funeral service he deserved.

Thanks, man. Now, all Scrawpsome 2.0 need is it's coat of paint. I do have the paint, Tamiya water based, but I'm affraid to mess up. So I'm waiting until I feel ready.

But, we are getting off topic.

Getting back to ponies just a little bit, I hope someone will take the licence and make FIGMA like ponies. 100% show accurate, non-brushable, but 100% articulated. Also, with a few spare faces to change the expressions. They could be 40-50$ each but if the adult market grow further, we might as well see it done. The new vinyl figures is a good sign.

That would depend on several things.

Is the MLP show being broadcast in Japan? Licensing would be an issue if not.

Also, it might be hard for Figma to market these to the Japanese market if there's no following locally. AFAIK, MLP seems to be a niche, cult success with mainly "Western" audiences. If they can't market it in Japan, I doubt they'll want to manufacture it.
