CBR has revealed a BotCon variant of My Little Pony Micro Series #5. The special edition cover features Optimus Prime and Pinkie Pie. This issue will apparently be available at next month's BotCon in San Diego. Check out the cover below.
In an unprecedented crossover between Hasbro's "Transformers" and "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," Pinkie Pie cosplays as Optimus Prime, dancing on the massive hand of the Big Bot himself, as he gives a quizzical tilt of his head. The variant cover will be available at this year's Transformers Botcon in San Diego from June 27 - 30.

nemesis primus, have you seen Prime's face? He's obviously either disgusted or annoyed.

Why yes I can see his face quite clearly. It looks like the blank stare of a robot with two giant lights for eyes and a huge face mask covering any features that may express emotional disposition. Considering Prime's greatly varying range of facial expressions he could thinking anything in this picture, nothing obvious as you stated.
Personally, judging by his other movements, he's quite confused by the over-expressive equine that has found its way into his palm wearing a shoddy outfit of himself. But that's just my observation.

I'm looking forward to this more than I ever did with the Bayformers films. And if you have anything to say about this,there won't be any room for you to talk. How is this somehow suddenly ruining the franchise when robot testicles didn't.

I'm not gonna lie, this cracks me up, and if I were going to Botcon, I'd get it. But I am not, and given how much this thing will probably cost on the secondary market, I'll pass and get the normal retail cover.

Im not a brony, but this is hilarious! I mean, its just a cute and funny picture. If I posted this and linked it to someone's DevientArt page, it would get nothing but compliments, but no, it has to get railed since it's official.

No, the part where they lost their minds was when they gave Drift his own miniseries. This is just something that's being taken too seriously.
