My Little Pony is not canon in the BT universe

You're supposed to be MECHWARRIORS, for goodnes sake! Manly Men. Not Anime horse soft **** lovers!

Like it or not this thread is here to stay as is the fandom apparently. I hated disliked them for a month before I remembered there are more significant things in this world to hate than the fans of a cartoon show aimed at young girls. Besides, you're not gonna make any headway at the epicenter of all things pony on the forums.

You're actually quite wrong.

Mechwarrior/Battletech is steeped in 80's fandom's, from Buckaroo Banzai [of the Banzai Institute of technology] to references to "old earth pop culture" in the novels.

Guess what would fall under "old earth pop culture" in 3049? My Little Pony... as well as Star Trek, Star Wars, Twilight... and anything that's been popular pop culture in our current day... figure "if it's popular from the 80's on... it's probably in battletech somewhere."

So by that technicality. MLP is completely on topic for Battletech.

• Shout Out: lots of them, from various sources.
  
  • A recent sourcebook includes a news report by Kiva Cooper, on a battle where a 'Mech falls onto a Pop TV building.
    
  • Several famous mercenary units referenced popular culture. Examples included The Fighting Urukhai and Team Banzai, led by the mysterious "Dr. B. Banzai."
    
  • Wolf Dragoons also got in the act with its old Zeta company pre-misery mostly in having names of some of its members of that part of the Dragoons taken from a certain universe that goes by a U.C timeline
    
  • A small one: in the book Crusader Clans, there's a Clan Star Adder unit whose unit sobriquet is "The Answer." Their official designation? The 42nd Adder Cavaliers.

I have a bit of a confession to make... I use this forum- to collect the best pony works. Without having to actually... collect them.

POST MORE PONIES!
