True power.

[Noah 27]

So lets just say that hypothetically, the my little ponies have their own universe, and one day

harbinger shows up with the reaper fleet, and apparently the only source of true weaponry besides magic and nature the my little ponies universe has that i know of is the Elements of harmony.

 

What are your thoughts on this idea? Would it make an epic battle seeing alicorns an pegasi fly

at the reapers and magic flying through the sky and hitting the hull of the reaper ships.

 

and worst of all... pony husks.

 

Ideas? Thoughts? Would it be BA? I think it would be interesting to see harbinger versus

the mane six

BTW: We dont know if the elements would affect synthetics that can control the minds

of organics themselves

[Regality 233]

I think the ponies would fare better against the reapers then humans did, as the ponies have magic, which can easily counter the Reapers weaponry. Whereas humans in Mass Effect had weapons that far predated the Reaper technology. Although, you could say the ponies might be worse off than humans, because the ponies aren't really bloodthirsty like humans are.

Good points, but I would also have to add that we are not sure of the

extent of pony/unicorn magic. They can do force fields, but your missing indoctrination an their

highly advanced lazer cannons, that could most likely split any form of force field (similar to energy shields maybe)

in half. Note that reapers have been in existence longer than ponies have, but its debatable, I believe Reapers

would eventually win unless the ponies made a pony-cruicable

Reaper? As in Mass Effect Reaper? Oh bloody moon!

 

While the humanity right now might as well vaporized instantly when the Reaper arrived, I'm pretty damn sure Equestria as a whole will be destroyed within days. Only select few from Canterlot will survive, the rest of the civilization is done for.

 

One must remember, not all Unicorn can do the same feats displayed by Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor. If their only chance of survival is to have a whole army of Twilight Sparkles, then woe on us because they don't.

I think they would only need to send one reaper in, the world as a whole would be harvested in probably less then two days or so

considering what the reaper are capable of

[MiStErUnMeRry 328]

It would be a reaper steam roll.

 

Why?

 

reapers have size, indoctrination tactics, deep understanding of the universe and accumulated the ideas as well as abilities of a thousand different galaxy life cycles. The humans are applicable and diverse without needing different gene arcs to accomplish a task.

The pony race has separated itself into different sectors for major benefits and specific skills in those areas-flight, natural affinity to strength and earth, telekinesis and natural affinity to magic- This means that if the reapers wanted to wipe out their fast infantry then all they need to do is target cloudsdale which would effectively destroy a good percentage of the pegasis and destroy one of their capitals-even if they have other capitals, it most likely their be in the air and thus the rest will go first when they start landing for an attack-

 

The pegasis will get proud and look for revenge, most joining the army and thus going on missions to try and avenge their kin in the fronts lines only to be annihilated by sheer over all mastery of all war and tech by the reapers. With one of the gene specialist already out of action, a large section of Equesteria's military tactics and greatest assets will be totally redundant and thus end up crippled in terms of ideas and options. The Unicorns will become curious and that curiosity will be easily exploited in terms of indoctrination, those who study reaper...."left overs"-purposely left items or pretend to be dead robots-can be effected with a gas or some other method of chemical mutation and mental control. Their armor will fail against all attacks the reapers can offer, considering the fact they not only do their standard weapons will tear them to pieces but their other methods such as a chemical, gas, mental and water will simply ignore the armor entirely.

 

Also, pony society is so smooth because value of work and labor is shared specifically to each race. They all have crucial roles and once one is too crippled to work the whole entire structure struggles to keep alive.

 

It is most likely too that ponies don't have the numbers that humans had which means they are low of the most important supply of war which are solders. Their magic can easily be deactivated with say...super sonic noise pollution to break concentration and I doubt any shield the ponies put up can seriously take the stress that a reaper gun can offer or even machine guns can offer-remember..mass effect race had Bionics which was essentially magic in and of it self, allowing mind warp, deterioration, lock on, force based attacks, barriers and stasis-Once again, as the unicorns mind are their most important asset, it is most likely they are prone to...free thought...shall we say and easily fall into indoctrination and out right serving the reapers on their own accord. It is unknown if the unicorns are actually just a form of psychic which would also make them extremely vulnerable to certain methods the reapers would know too.

 

Up close the reapers would win, machine versus flesh tends to be very one sided. The ONLY thing that reapers MIGHT find an issue..is one: The elements of Harmony Two: The powers of chaos and even then I think they could kill them in a single shot or a few before taking too much damage.

 

In short the reapers would have no issue. They are simply too advanced, too big, too smart and too physically resilient. Even the best mage could probably at best...keep off a few reaper beams for only a few minutes.

 

Ponies...just...aren't built for war. Their society structure is actually...very fragile, easy to spot in weakness and not got the experience to hack it. What ponies consider a war, the reapers would probably see it as mild flailing of the arms of a dying rat.

But what about the Royal Sisters? Some might say that they're omnipotent demigod that can curbstomp everything while they can't do a damn thing on Changeling Invasion

 

I'm not really well-informed about what feats the Reaper is capable of

Reapers gave humans and the other races their tech. They build bases surrounded by black holes. Reapers can..pretty much...do anything they want apart from time travel and bend the very laws of reality. Chemical warfare: Mastered. Pyschological warfare: Mastered. Practical Warfare: Mastered. Armour: Extremely effective. Weapons: Once again extremely effective. Bionic enhancements: Mastered. Robotics: Mastered. Teleportation and space flight: Mastered.

 

Princess celestia got her body thrown back by a changeling princess. They are more on the lines of demigods...well, the reapers come out of the omega(was it they where in a dark/empty universe or something...can't remember..sorry) and destroyed ALL life...every single cycle with no problem. They've taken down empires with powers and numbers as well as genetic mutations we could only imagine. If they can effectively destroy well experienced, ancient races all at once in a row and then do it again some millions of years later. Then the ponies are pretty much rats to them...it would be like us, taking all our tech, all our guns and all our armies and waging war on monkeys. Oh, we would also be in tanks.

 

The princess are strong in pony terms but its most likely that a human with a hand gun could kill them if got them by surprise, a reaper wouldn't have a real issue.

This made me lol. And its good to see some mass effect fans around here, it

was just a thought of mine Maybe a cool fan-fic I could write sometime

In honesty, I think the cross over won't fare too well. Not unless your willing to actually ponify roles-such basically replacing commander shepard with twilight and morgan with pinkie or something- I think if you was to make a fan fic that links ponies with the mass effect series you would be better off doing it loosely.. associated to the actual other races and reapers. I would suggest something like a small shuttle crash landing in equesteria filled with human armor, weapons and some vague documents that have been scared that talk of the reapers. Perhaps even a badly damaged Vi than can still talk to an extent and has a well written personality. It wouldn't be as action packed but it would give the ponies a place in ME universe that makes sense and dosen't involve them pretty much getting grounded.

 

however if you want to pit ponies in a totally one sided war. I think just saying the necrons from 40K rose up on their planet would be dramatic since the necrons in general are just...more terrifying...and atmospheric...at least the reapers taunt you...at least their big squids...the necrons..vague hums..the sounds of feat..the dripping of fresh blood from flayed ones...the silence of wrath flying...the single zap of a shot in the misty distance...the cold, unfeeling march of an expressionless face...unrelenting...not rushing things..not merciful with sky bombardments...just step after step, keeping its eye on you as it approach you and the people you love. Now that would be a very atmospheric one sided war.

 

It would be a war that literally ends with not even a whimper.

The Reapers wouldn't stand a chance. Celestia and Luna control celestial bodies at-will, so their power pushing around Reaper ships would be a cake walk. She could just send them at an uncontrollable velocity towards the sun and they'd be hooped. And it wouldn't even need to be all that great of a velocity, 0.2c could do it.

Or the reapers could simply indoctrinate her royal guards to kill her then harvest her

into a pony reaper or simply mind control the princesses themselves, reapers are adaptable.

Once they get their hands on one pony of each type its over, theyll inherate each trait and

use it against them.

Or they just bombard them to death with out of atmosphere artillery or drop leagues of solders in pods. Knowing the reapers they could counter it some way, it not like they haven't mastered physics and all known forms of transports both on land, sea, air and in space. I don't think Celestia or Luna are actually that powerful, I don't even think they are actual demi gods.

 

I think they fall more in the lines of either extremely potent mages-that have ascended standard mortality and now count as spirits- or simply on the same level as a protective spirit, can live a long time.Has its own form, possess certain godly characteristic and is pretty powerful although still open to getting killed, banished, captured and so on. If anything, the reapers are more demi gods than the sisters since their past and over all skills relate more to the title...granted they would be demi gods due to scientific advancement but still..powerful and ancient as demi gods. Besides the sister control is extremely limited since they established that the sister don't control the sun or stars beyond the ever free forest. So, they could just land there if it was an actual issue.

Why must you always say what I say even better haha

ANYWHOO!!

If you played mass effect two you would know what would happen to the sisters if they were

of any problem or concern to the reapers...

"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL OF THIS FORM"

[MiStErUnMeRry 328]

Number two harbinger was awesome. He was a great bad guy with his own flavor and eventually assuming control became in many ways an identification of him rather than the actual method or tool he was using.

 

Sadly, I don't think it would work. It was done with collectors but we got to remember that collectors where modified into genetic drones for the reapers and as such it is most likely they had their minds structured to allow the reaper to enter it and take over at will.

 

I think them assuming direct control of any life form would make them too powerful and present a lot of plot holes in the whole universe.

 

Thanks. I try by the way.
