Subject: I scare myself sometimes

I found myself writing the following over at the BWTF discussion boards in a thread about speculation over the recently announced "Transformers: Energon" line:

Hasbro will be melding the Transformers with My Little Pony in an effort to create the next toy megahit for both boys and girls. Although the two lines won't be completely melded--many Transformers toys will remain Transformers and most My LIttle Ponies will remain strictly My Little Pony, there will be plenty of hybrids.  Some Transformers will transform into vehicles especially designed for the Ponies, while others will form items useful in combing or braiding their hair.  There will also be a few Ponies that transform into robots.  Of particular interest will be the "Nightmare" toy, a black battle-ready unicorn that actually launches its horn whenever you pull its leg.  A constant among the toys will be the "energon crystals" included with each Transformer and Pony, which can also be worn as jewelry.

The cartoon will involve Optimus Prime and the Autobots coming across the My Little Ponies' energon-rich planet.  Megatron and the Decepticons arrive soon afterward, and the inevitable fighting disrupts the Ponies' beautiful paradise.  The interactions should prove to be interesting and contain important lessons for children living in our current world situation, with the war-mongering Decepticons taking all they can, the grim Autobots who believe that war is the only way to stop the Decepticons from destroying the paradise planet, and many of the Ponies, who are strict pacifists (though some will take sides).  2004 promises to be a very...interesting...year for fans of both toy lines.
