Do you recall when I mentioned that Optimus wasn’t always a Prime? Well, he wasn’t always Optimus either. He was once a clerk in the Iacon Hall of Records named Orion Pax. But as he learned more about Cybertron’s past, he grew increasingly concerned about the present corruption in high places and inequality among the masses. Orion became inspired by the words and ideas of the gladiator, one who had named himself after one of the thirteen original Primes - Megatronus. Megatronus vowed to challenge Cybertron’s leadership and demanded that all Cybertronians be treated as equals. The gladiator turned revolutionary rapidly gained a loyal following. Soundwave, chief among them. Orion began corresponding with Megatronus, who came to be something of a mentor to him. As Megatronus left the gladiatorial ring for the political, he saw fit to shorten his name. Before long, Megatron appeared before the High Council to propose his vision for a just society. And it was here that he began to reveal his true colors. Proclaiming to overthrow the old guard with force and arrogantly demanding to be named the next Prime. But Orion did not believe in violence as a means of achieving justice. The sparks and minds of the Council were moved by Orion’s words. Here…for the first time since Cybertron’s Golden Age…stood someone worthy of being a Prime. But that honor could only be achieved by earning the legendary Matrix of Leadership. His ambitions thwarted, Megatron spitefully severed all ties with Orion and the Council, and came to wage war on all who opposed him through his growing army of followers which he named Decepticons. He vowed to claim the Matrix for himself wherever it may lie. In time, warfare consumed Cybertron, poisoning the planet to its core. Orion journeyed there, hoping to reverse the ill effects and found himself before the very spark of our life giver, Primus himself. The ailing Primus sensed the innatiability within Orion and bestowed the Matrix upon him. It was thus that a surprised and humbled Orion Pax came to be Optimus, the last of the Primes.

The difference here is that OP has experienced many centurties of war and violence, which has helped to shape him into the bot he is today.
 
Although Twilight may never experience that (is she really immortal in the first place?), she will still have many lessons to learn.
 
I wonder what would happen if they met.
 
It would be equal parts awkward, Awesome, and adorable at the same time.

The difference here is that OP has experienced many centurties of

Have fun being banned again, Osman.

Oh no guys! Twilight exploded! But fortunately I backed up her brain on a floppy disk! :D

Uh, was Transfomers about a nerd bot in a library? No, it was simpley a backstory.
 
MLP is about six friends and thier life. If I wanted Twi as an Alicorn, I’d go to fimfiction.

@Gepard  
It’s not that bad. It’s dark, it knows its target audience and it has some decent animation.

Y U NO MENTION HOT ROD?!

That’s nuts. Why haven’t I seen this similarity before? But seriously, too much butthurt going on over something we don’t know all the details of yet.

>liked Transformers: Beast Wars better

Transformers Prime is a bad show.  
TF Animated is sooooo much better.

But Transformers: Prime is terrible. Why would I want MLP to be anything like it?

@Hurricane  
You make her sound like an unsavory real world politician. D;  
I like the Transformers Optimus Prime analogy better. :D  
Oya and the best part about creating connections between Transformers and Ponies? They are both owned by Hasbro! So sharing ideas between them is totally legal!

@Mayojar77  
Actually, if the synopsis is to be believed, she fucks up a spell, covers her tracks by creating her own magic, and is rewarded with chicks, money, power and chicks, aka, alicorn princess

I’m REALLY hoping the only reason she can become an alicorn is that Celestia is awakening the Element of Magic’s full power….wait…
 
…now that I think about it, this is starting to make the idea of Princess Twilight BETTER!
 
THINK ABOUT IT!
 
The element of magic is a CROWN, what else would she have become but an alicorn when it awakens. That means when the other elements awaken respectively, it will be even MORE awesome cause it will be something new and unique to each of their non-crown necklaces…AND it was already established for the Discord episode the elements belong to them now!!!
 
….Season 4 is starting to look more promising. Spread the word everyone :D

Twilight Sparkle: Cosmic Council! I return with a fallen hero.
 
King Leo: Til all are one.
 
TS: Times have grown desperate, the little ponies crave your guidance.
 
KL: The council exists only to choose the Princesses. It is the princess’s directive to lead and protect.
 
TS: There are no Princesses…
 
KL: Even now, you reject your calling? For too long have we watched the other Princesses fall to their jealously and shallow depth of character, but YOU Twilight… Your magic and wisdom have brought harmony to the lives around you. King Sombra has infected the very core of our world with GAK! You must journey to the core and remove this blight. Failure will doom us all!
 
TS: …I will accept the burden, with all of my FRIENDSHIP!
 
KL: Rise, Twilight Princess! For you are the Leader of My Little Ponies! You are…the Last Princess!

Totally read that in Peter Cullen’s voice.

Try not to get them confused. Princess and alicorns can work however the hell the show’s writers want.

@Background Pony  
By disobeying the laws of nature and rewriting her own destiny at every point: Basically, she rewrote her DNA at the time of her conception, but somehow didn’t alter history.

Then how does Twilight become an Alicorn?
