ScrewAttack recently released their Rainbow Dash Vs. Starscream Death Battle. It's actually really awesome too, I'm amazed at how in depth they took Rainbow Dash's moveset.
I never really cared much about the Death Battle series (It makes me want to watch Super Mario Bros Z again, which does sprite-based combat an order of magnitude better than DB.)
So, wanna talk about Ponies vs Transformers...why not visit Allspark.com, the premiere Transformers fan board in the world features one of the best Pony forums in the world!
Because what is Twilight's Cutie Mark if not an AllSpark!
Agreed. Even if it was G1 Starscream versus a severely determined 11 year old child with a pack of dynamite, I'd give it to the child because G1 Starscream is well...dumb... Though come to think of it, so are lot of the G1 Decepticons. I love the old Transformers cartoon, but the writing was not the best. Come to think of it, Twilight could probably take on all of Cobra from the old GI Joe cartoon using only her wits.
...now if it was any Predacon from Beast Wars, except Waspinator, Dash would be in serious trouble.
The funniest part for me was that I called everything Rainbow Dash did before she did it, even the very last part. As soon as I saw his spark fly out, I yelled "EAT IT!!" I couldn't stop laughing when she did!
That was by far the coolest thing I've ever seen. The voice acting was cool too. I think I might sign up for gamefly now because that just ruled so hard.
Boomstick is a wimp. Only TRUE man don't groan at the sight of cute, little ponies!
Also, whoever voiced Rainbow Dash...Well, it's not AS good as Ashleigh Ball, but it's still quite a good imitation. Yeah, part of what makes the ponies so great: their voices are SO AWESOME!
lol, Derpy Hooves cameo!
WTF, Rainbow Dash AT Starscream's spark?! ...What's it taste like? And what will it do to her digestive track? Oh well who cares, RAINBOW DASH WINS! SHE IS THE IRON PONY!
And for those wondering, Erica Mendez (Rainbow Dash's VA) is also currently set to be the voice director AND voice of Dash for the upcoming Fiends From Dream Valley game, so show her some love!
Haha, a Transformers fan on Screw Attack is complaining that the battle was too biased, as he hadn't realised how turbocharged Rainbow Dash was before then, so it seemed like an unfair fight. Against a giant evil robot.
I'm trying to get a friend of mine to understand why these ponies are so awesome, I think the sight of one of them beating the crap out of a Transformer might help :D
Oh my jeez that was phenomenal. I'd seen one of these before and didn't like it all that much, but I have to be impressed with how amazingly well they described Rainbow. I never realized exactly how badass she was. XD
That was awesome. Funny commentary. I almost felt sorry for Starscream. Posted a pic on DA and FA under my docabsinthe account if anyone wants to see it. Not as epic as that hilarious Death Match but you might enjoy.
I can imagine. 'Spike, take a letter. "Dear Princess Celestia: Is there another copy of Starscream's instruction booklet in the library at Canterlot? I think I bent his arm wrong, his wing's now loose in the socket, and I lost his null-ray. And if there isn't, can you spare me a few bits? And tell me quick, there's a Seeker spare part lot on ePony that's going to close soon. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle."'
'AUGH!'
On another note, I only just now paid attention to Starscream's HUD the two times he tried to target Rainbow. Take a look yourself..

I haven't been around Screwattack for a while. I slowly lost interest after Destin and Corey left and SGC 3 was cancelled, but this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can remember my account password there.
My day just became 20.0000000000000000000000% cooler, without the decimal.
ReplyDeleteShe... she ate him.
ReplyDeleteTHAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

ReplyDeleteBut I'll admit that I laughed at the ending.
That was effin' fabulous. Go RD.

ReplyDeleteBecause what is Twilight's Cutie Mark if not an AllSpark!
And we're all over this fight!
Will watch when I'm good and ready... Although, judging from the high ratings of this blog post, I think I know who wins...
ReplyDeletePinkie Pie VS Deadpool... Which of the two randomly crazy 4th wall breakers would win? (yea, like we all don't know the answer yet)
ReplyDelete@Heimdal
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Even if it was G1 Starscream versus a severely determined 11 year old child with a pack of dynamite, I'd give it to the child because G1 Starscream is well...dumb...

@Altercation
I don't know who Jim Sterling is, but from what I have seen here the man does an uncanny Chris Latta impersonation.
This was just to much Fun!!
ReplyDeleteYou can't trick RD! Well, most of the time.
Pretty sweet! Rainbow Dash would win for sure but, it would be very close...
ReplyDeleteI liked it...a LOT!
ReplyDeleteThe funniest part for me was that I called everything Rainbow Dash did before she did it, even the very last part. As soon as I saw his spark fly out, I yelled "EAT IT!!" I couldn't stop laughing when she did!
ReplyDeleteYes! Yes! Rainbow Dash! Fuck yeah! I know it's a glorified advertisement, but hot damn what's cool is cool!
ReplyDelete"She's a blackbelt in karate.
ReplyDeleteWorkin' for the city,
she has to discipline her body.
Cause she knows that, it'd be tragic,
if those evil robots win."
They should have Princess Celestia Vs. Megatron,
ReplyDeleteThat would be one epic battle!
@Video Beagle
ReplyDeleteYeah!!!
The ponies could team up with the Autobots and destroy the Decepticons!!!
It would be epic!
Rainbow Dash accidentally the whole Starscream.
ReplyDelete>Expect fail
ReplyDelete>Receive kickass
MIND BLOWN.
Love the Buccaneer Blaze as the finishing move - off screen of course!
ReplyDeleteMy mind was blown.
ReplyDeleteMy day was made.
Well done~
@Scribejay
ReplyDeleteOh Rainbow Dash, they don't believe me.
But you won't let those robots eat me.
(Because you already ate the robots)
That was by far the coolest thing I've ever seen. The voice acting was cool too. I think I might sign up for gamefly now because that just ruled so hard.
ReplyDelete"She just ... ATE a Transformer."
ReplyDeleteAnd the award for BEST OUT-OF-CONTEXT LINE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER goes to ...
Okay, just saw it...

@Smashmatt202
ReplyDeleteThe spark looks all electrical, so I don't imagine it phasing Rainbow Dash very much.
@ Shinmizu
ReplyDeleteAh, okay... It WAS said that the Nyan Cannon (or whatever) didn't effect Rainbow Dash since she's not electronic, so I guess that means she's okay...
...Or is this?!
That was AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what people thought when they saw Rainbow at the end of the last one.
Ha ha, I was THIS close to getting the role of Starscream; I made it into the credits, though, so that's pretty cool. :D
ReplyDeleteThe video came out even better than I expected, and both Zak and Erica turned in top-notch vocal performances. Kudos all around.
And for those wondering, Erica Mendez (Rainbow Dash's VA) is also currently set to be the voice director AND voice of Dash for the upcoming Fiends From Dream Valley game, so show her some love!
ReplyDeleteThat's supposed to be 7,600 mph not 7,6000.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there was no way in heck starscream would have won that. e_e
ReplyDeleteyay you rock woohoo
ReplyDeleteHas anyone noticed that's my sprite of Rainbow Dash for MLPonline and not even asked to be used..............*sigh*..........
ReplyDeletelol, they used my music in there :D
ReplyDeleteSadface for lack of source on the materials used in the video.
ReplyDeleteHaha, a Transformers fan on Screw Attack is complaining that the battle was too biased, as he hadn't realised how turbocharged Rainbow Dash was before then, so it seemed like an unfair fight. Against a giant evil robot.
ReplyDeleteOmg That was amazing! Of corse rainbow would beat a giant robot!
ReplyDeleteyay~
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AT LEAST 16 DIFFERENT KINDS OF AWESOME!!
ReplyDeletehmmm...nah
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who saw derpy just chillin' in the clouds?
ReplyDeleteomigoshomigoshomisgoshomigoshomigosh SO AWESOME
ReplyDeleteNow we need a mechanical pony that Starscream can posses. Epic rivalries will ensue.
That was quite entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI see a wild Derpy.
ReplyDeleteMan that was totally awesome and funny!
ReplyDelete@Urimas Ebonheart
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry they used it without permission, but it's a darn good sprite, and they did put it to good use.
I'm trying to get a friend of mine to understand why these ponies are so awesome, I think the sight of one of them beating the crap out of a Transformer might help :D
ReplyDelete@KShrike
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree, I thought the voices and voice acting were fantastic! And the whole video was just awesome too!

ReplyDeleteive learned somthing new about starscream today
ReplyDelete2:34
I am so happy.
ReplyDelete@Sunspark
ReplyDeleteI am thinking about it.
'ARGH! Spike, ask Celestia to send me the instructions. I think I misplaced his wing, and..great, his leg came off again!'
This was pretty good actually. i was surprised.
ReplyDeleteThat was an epic one, I must see more of these!
ReplyDeleteJust got around to watching this. That was really awesome! Not at all how I expected it to turn out.
ReplyDeleteI also lol'd when my Fluttershy Model Mix got thrown in there during the GameFly commercial :D
Congratulations Screw Attack, you actually did the voices and not suck at them. :3 Also you appealed to the Bronies. Smoooth move there, cap'n.
ReplyDeletespecial thanks to mane6? I wonder what role they played in this.......was that Rainbow's VA for Fighting is Magic?
ReplyDeleteJust caught this on youtube; not sure what was funnier, the video or the comments. People taking this waaay too seriously!
ReplyDeleteDoes anypony know the source for the image at ~00:23 (jet fighter vs. RD)? I'd really like a better look at it.
@JulienBrightside
ReplyDeleteFound it! Google's image search wins again. Full res version is here:

"alright, lets make it fight a giant robot"
ReplyDeleteI really love this video! G1 Starscream and Rainbow Dash are AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeletelol i was hoping she would eat it.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Dash is most badass pony.
ReplyDelete@DSNesmith >expecting crap
ReplyDelete>AWESOMENESS ENSUES
Isn't that how we all got into ponies in the first place?
@Sunspark

Well, seems this battle's going to be remastered thanks to RD's Nuclear Rainboom in Lesson Zero.
ReplyDeleteTHAT WAS AWESOME!! RAINBOW IS OFFICIALLY BEST PONY!
ReplyDeleteNow if you'll excuse me, I'll be reading the butthurt comments in youtube~
There is so much win in that video. . .
ReplyDeleteThis is what got me into MLP. Thank you Death Battle!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the title of the music when they introduce RD at 02:50?
