@Bad I just draw a line at human gods and goddesses existing in their universe's mythology, is all. You don't have to draw that line if you don't want to.

All these head cannons are making me dizzy.

I play Bellisario's Maxim and end my turn.

I don't want there to be humans on the show.

If the Transformers movies are anything to go by, Hasbro toys and humans don't tend to mix well.

Half-human still counts, right?

I think that if there were to be any humans in G4 MLP, it would have started with season 1. By now, their absence is pretty well established.

Half-human, half... what, robot? (Transformers! Humans in disguise!)

I said the movies, and potholed accordingly. I am completely ignorant of all other incarnations of the Transformers, so whatever point you are trying to make, Count, it is entirely lost on me.

@Kyler - I know, right? I think I bit off more than I could chew when I started this line of epic discussion.

Regarding the prequel, I think it would go like this:

Celestia and/or Luna, or another pony discovers the Element of Harmony.
Many episodes are spent finding ponies suitable for each Element.
Along the way, the wielders defeat Discord.
Then time passes and the wielders die out one by one, until Celestia and Luna remain.
Then Luna corrupts.

Well, this sounds cheerful.

Sounds like it would be great. Give that thing a theatrical release.

Interesting idea for pony MVM. Cider Sentry Buster.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

Twilight said "By Jove, I think I've got it!" in "MMMystery on the Friendship Express". Jove is a shorted form of Jupiter.

@condo: You were pointing out evidence they didn't go well together. I was pointing out evidence to the contrary.

I prefer to see the Transformers movies as proof that Michael Bay + ANYTHING doesn't go.

I'm personally unsure of the whole planets thing if only because the fact that the ponies can control the sun and moon implies that their astronomy works far differently from ours.

Celestia moves Sun. Luna moves moon.

Who moves all the other stars?

@Count: I was just expressing my observation that the humans in those live action movies were an annoying, pointless Spotlight-Stealing Squad.

I am by no means extending that observation to any other incarnation of Transformers, as to avert Complaining about Shows You Don't Watch. I understand from numerous sources that the cartoons are considerably better than the movies, but that is not exactly what I would call high praise.

Do you like Transformers shows? Which is the best, IYO?

Luna, I assume.

@Meta And this is why I hate looking so deep into such tiny details. It's just an expression, meant to reference Sherlock Holmes. If you really want a justification for it, go with Translation Convention. They probably aren't speaking English in-universe, we just hear them that way for our convenience.

@ Roy: The entire night is credited to Luna, so I'd say it's mostly just her.

The stars are moved by the sun goddesses of other planets.

@condo: True enough. I'll acknowledge a preference for Beast Wars, since it's the only one I've watched a significant amount of, but what I've seen of Animated is also good. Optimus Prime learns the facts of life.

Horrifying mental image:

"My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - The Movie. Director: Michael Bay."

I personally think that Equestrian astronomy is closer to Greek Astronomy

. I mean, they already have Tartarus and everything.

So the moon and the stars are Luna's domain?

Does that mean she holds control over the likes of Ursa Major/Minor as well?
