Pony
Ponies are a race of sapient ungulates, one of several sentient species who hail from the land of Equestria.
Overview
[edit]Morphology
[edit]Repeated encounters with the Cybertronian race have revealed the existence of at least three separate pony morphs: in addition to "earth ponies" that have convergently evolved to resemble Earth equines, there also exist winged "pegasi" forms, as well as horned "unicorns" with magical abilities. A mysterious fourth group of "princess" ponies incorporate traits from all three subspecies; while little is known about them, both known representatives appear to hold an elevated rank in pony society. While the majority of ponies appear to be [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}neoteny|{{#if:neotenous|neotenous|neoteny}}]], with large heads, large eyes, and generally diminutive proportions, some "princess" forms like Cadance sport long legs and defined proportions.
Technological development
[edit]Cooperative, social and largely gregarious in nature, ponies appear to have abandoned traditional herd-based grazing strategies in favor of a sedentary social structure akin to primitive human society—despite lacking opposable thumbs, or indeed any kind of digits, they have nevertheless reaped the benefits of a successful agricultural revolution, and heavily urbanized settlements like Manehattan appear to be the first step towards a fully industrialized civilization.
Social structure
[edit]The ponies' apparently matriarchal society, ruled by the physiologically distinct "princesses", may indicate the presence of a gender-based caste system—perhaps a quasi-eusocial structure analogous to the terrestrial mole rat. Confusingly, each pony appears to sport their own unique insignia. The prevalence of these "cutie marks" in pony culture suggests a near-infinite amount of individual factions.

Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
[edit]
Megatron, trapped in the core of Earth's sun, attempted to escape by using his black hole manipulation powers to teleport to safety. All this accomplished was shunting his charred body across time and space, where it landed in a world populated by intelligent ponies. A world where "friendship is magic". The War Never Ends
When Worlds Collide
[edit]After Megatron and Cobra Commander had stolen the Matrix of Leadership, several ponies, including Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, joined Optimus Prime and his forces in an epic battle of good versus evil...until the two kids imagining the whole scenario were called away for dinner.

Games

[edit]Ponies and pony-like creatures were a common sight on many planets. Cybertron possessed a number of convergently evolved lifeforms that resembled Equestrian ponies, pegasi, and changelings. Unlike their Equestrian counterparts, Cybertronian ponies possessed the power to transform. <ref> "Gen Con Worlds Collide: The Pony Puzzle Event - Character Preperations! </ref>
