Will MLP ever "officially" crossover with something?

[TwilightSparkleFan99 21]

You know how we've all read fanfictions about My Little Pony Friendship is Magic meeting characters from another series? Otherwise known as a crossover. Well, do you think that maybe, just maybe, Hasbro may actually make a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic crossover a real thing? I mean, how awesome would it be if the Mane 6 got transported to the Kalos Region and met Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie? Or, what if Dr. Eggman was planning to take over another world with his dimensional traveling machine, Sonic and Co. Try to foil his plans, then the Sonic characters end up in Equestria and Sonic and Rainbow Dash have a race? But the crossover they would probably do would be Sonic Boom and My Little Pony. But it would still be cool! Plus, it would be the very first official crossover of two shows on two different channels! Discovery Family and Cartoon Network! It would air on both channels! MAD doesn't count. Yeah it has SpongeBob on it, but it's basically a kid friendly Robot Chicken. Anyway, do you think Hasbro will actually make My Little Pony Friendship is Magic officially crossover with something outside of fanfiction? Whether it be MLP Meets Pokemon, MLP Meets Sonic, MLP Meets SpongeBob, etcetera etcetera! Tell me if you think Hasbro will actually do this someday, and if so, what will be the first series MLP will crossover with? I'd love to hear your opinions!

the only crossover would be with something else from hasbro because it would be easier to do that then ask permission from another company if they could make a crossover, legal action and all that fun stuff

[SteveMorison 404]

Can't see it. LPS would make the most sense but can't see what they'd crossover for. MLP and Spongebob would be awesome.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

It most likely will crossover with something eventually. We just don't know what yet. I for one would love a MLP X Sonic The Hedgehog crossover. But I don't see that happening unless Sega buys the rights to MLP or Hasbro buys the rights to Sonic.

The best we can hope for would probably be an MLP crossover with Littlest Petshop or Dan VS.

Yeah, I could just picture how MLP and SpongeBob would go! Sandy has built her greatest scientific achievement yet, a machine that can transport you to other worlds! Little do they know, Plankton is eavesdropping, and he gets the evil plan to take over a new world and have Everybody bow down to him. So Sandy tests it out on SpongeBob and Patrick by sending them a few feet away from the machine. It can teleport people too. So Sandy tells SpongeBob and Patrick to guard the machine while she's gone. Plankton comes from behind where he was, and he says, "Out of my way, fools!" And he uses a gun to lift SpongeBob and Patrick into the air, and they both think they're flying and think it's fun. Plankton says see ya later and that he's off to conquer another world. Plankton sets the world to random and he ends up in, Yup, you guessed it, Equestria! SpongeBob and Patrick freak out that Plankton used Sandy's machine and tell Sandy that Plankton used her machine to go to another world. Luckily, the machine doesn't go with you like a time machine does. Sandy tells SpongeBob and Patrick that there may not be a way back to Bikini Bottom. But Sandy says there can be a way back if she can find the proper science tools. So SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy go to the last world travelled to. It said, "Equestria". So they travelled there. When they got there, they found themselves in a small village. And it wasn't underwater! But for some reason, SpongeBob and Patrick could breathe. Cut ahead a bit, SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are looking for Plankton, and they meet the Mane 6, and the Mane 6 help SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy find Plankton to stop him from taking over Equestria. Basically, Plankton succeeds in taking over Equestria by putting Chum Bucket mind controlling helmets on Everypony in Ponyville making them say "All Hail Plankton" just like in the first SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. Plankton even manages to mind control Princess Celestia and Princess Luna making them say "All Hail Plankton" as well. He mind controls Cadance and Shining Armor as well. And well, it's not called Equestria anymore. It's called Plankquestria. Kind of like how Bikini Bottom was Planktopolis in the SpongeBob Movie. Now, it's up to SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and the Mane 6 to defeat Plankton and get Equestria back to normal before it's too late! Good Ideas huh?

Unless it is from Hasbro or DHX, it would be unlikely for MLP to crossover with another show. The reason why The Simpsons made a cross over with Futurama was because they were both owned by the same company (Fox). So there is a greater chance that MLP will crossover with Littlest Pet Shop than something like Doctor Who or Battlestar:Galacticia

Or, Hasbro could ask permission from Big Red Button to use their show, Sonic Boom with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, then they could ask permission from Viacom(owners of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network) to air their crossover on not only Discovery Family, but Cartoon Network as well! It would probably be the only time we would ever see MLP on Cartoon Network.

But think about the Family Guy and Simpsons crossover, The Simpsons Guy! Family Guy is mostly on Adult Swim, while The Simpsons isn't on Adult Swim at all, and is only on Fox. That's two shows crossing over from two different channels! That means that Hasbro could easily ask Big Red Button's permission to make a crossover between MLP and Sonic Boom, and air it on both Discovery Family and Cartoon Network! Or, if Hasbro wanted to make an MLP and SpongeBob Crossover, they could ask Stephen Hillenburg's permission to do so(he's back on the show now), and then Hasbro asks for permission from Viacom(owners of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network) to air their crossover on not only Discovery Family, but Nickelodeon as well! Of course, this would be the only time we would ever see MLP on Nickelodeon.

[Cleverclover 1,526]

No, and that's probably for the better. I personally don't care too much for crossovers myself, mostly because they're usually done just for the hell of it with very little thought put into how and why the two shows could possibly take place within the same universe.

What exactly makes you think that? 

[Steve Piranha 29,412]

The most possible crossover that could happen is MLP with Littlest Pet Shop 

[Buck Testa 5,505]

I demand MLP Transformers crossover. 

 

"Twilight Sparkle, I am Optimus Prime"

 

Or Beast Wars! They can assume the forms of ponies in that case! Transforming robot ponies....

all of my yes

[Megas 27,539]

If we ever see MLP crossover with anything it'll probably with one of Hasbro's own franchises, most likely Littlest Pet Shop, Strawberry Shortcake, Jem and the Holograms, or Transformers by popular demand. Though if I had to choose anything, I'd love to see it with Persona, though I'd be fine with almost anything that isn't fucking Sonic

There's no way it's gonna happen if the other franchise isn't owned by Hasbro or DHX.

 

Although I want to see it cross over with Gravity Falls for 1 reason and 1 reason only:

 

Seeing the joy of Bill Cipher mess with ponies. He would make Discord look like a puppet.

[RarityFan01 2,444]

There is a short MLP LPS crossover. I personally think crossovers should be in the same franchise at least. 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,241]

If FiM ever did any official crossovers, it would probably be a crossover between Equestria Girls and Littlest Pet Shop. I could definitely see that happening before any other crossover of any kind with FiM.

When the ratings are down and the money is low, crossovers are one of the last ditch efforts to remain relevant. We all know how that list goes:

 

• Beach episode to garner in sex appeal.
• Introduce new primary character to the main cast.
• "Revamp" the show.
• Send them into space.
• Crossovers with other successful series.

It's more or less a series of common tropes that seem to happen when a show begins to fade, is a few or all of these things tend to happen.

[Pastel 7,630]

Maybe.

 

I'd have said no before season 5, but seeing how much fan service they've been doing lately, now I'd say it's possible.

[Rainboom Dash 1,055]

It'd depend how much red tape there'd be. I'd love a Sonic crossover too.

[chirox the pony 1,336]

I don't know if hasbro have done things like this before but seeing as they're pretty confident in the show I wouldn't be surprised if they did pull off a move like this, albeit that doesn't mean I want them to.

[Phosphorous 136]

I doubt there would be a crossover.

 

However, I'd like to see an episode where it is animated in many genres and art styles, like Futurama's reincarnation episode.

[Kiri 7,287]

I wouldn't be surprised with an increase in pony references in other shows, but I don't see a crossover on the horizon. I personally think Pony is fine just the way it is.

[Commander Tangent 861]

I wouldnt be surprised if they had a small one with Transformers: Prime or it's successor show. Since they are all great shows, rated high, and hasbro.

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

I'm sure it would be a nice promo or April Fool's joke, but it will most likely never happen. In addition to the legal challenges, such a thing would be a major pain in the plot creatively as well, considering the very different settings and target audiences most other Hasbro/DiscFam shows have.

[Officer Strike 152]

I dont know what you are talking about but interesting topic guys

[ponylaces 1,870]

Nah. Maybe LPS or Dan VS (wait, didn't Dan VS end?). Other than that, I couldn't imagine MLP crossover with something else.

[Grepper 3,192]

I wouldn't really care for a crossover episode.

If they must do it, they should state that it isn't canon (like the Steven Universe/Uncle Grandpa crossover.)
