First off, following various replies, it looks like the voice actor for Luna will be returning; even though she only has one line and a "gasp" in the second episode of season 1.
That one line did fit her really well though! I'm glad for this.
We can also conclude that Season 1's Voice Actor auditions started on June 1st. Apparently there were a bunch, based on Golden Russet's tweet: "Tired from a full day of casting ponies. So much to choose from!"
Hopefully this means we will see more new characters, and not replacements to current ones!
Also buried a bit deeper is some very...interesting news. It looks like Goldenrusset is trying to get Powdered Sugar into the cast of MLP, by way of cookie bribes.
Thanks to HunterTSF for the heads up!

ReplyDeleteI hope none of the Mane Six are overshadowed by any of the newer characters...

ReplyDeleteI am happy that this voice will return.
Very very happy.
*reads title* mlp and transformers crossover...what the hey? how will that work? (id love to see that though)
ReplyDeletewait what i need more info Transformers:friendship is magic? it probly be btetter then the new micheal bay ransformers movie
ReplyDeleteWHAT!!! I must confirm this going to ask DJW!
ReplyDeleteHeh, I think the Powdered Sugar thing was sort of tongue in cheek looking at that conversation.:p
ReplyDelete"We can also conclude that Season 1's Voice Actor auditions started on June 1st."
ReplyDeleteYou mean Season 2's?
"Goldenrusset is tyring to get Powdered Sugar into the cast of MLP, by way of cookie bribes. "
ReplyDeleteoh please god no

ReplyDeleteDon't be silly. Didn't you know we're all time travelers?
Ponies and Transformers Animated crossover?... THAT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED FOR!
ReplyDeleteWoo! I love this news!

ReplyDeleteSethisto, you might wanna look at this. It's the new Hub Summer Promo spot, with Pinkie's Singer and Megatron.
A Transformers MLP crossover seems like it could be a really good cross promotion idea if it's handled well. Get fans from one interested in the other.
ReplyDeleteMore Luna?
ReplyDeleteMore <3
I'm confused. This is about Season 2 right?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAnd you might want to check the front page news
Wait, is Powdered Sugar that pony thing that girl rides on?
ReplyDeleteSeriously lol'd.
acording to that embedded video, pokemon 'rise of darkrai' is on tomarrow at 7! SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS!
ReplyDeletebut... i thought the person who voiced fluttershy voiced luna
ReplyDeleteVoice actress win!
ReplyDeleteBut MLP Transformers crossover...What?
Really interested to see how that's going to play out.
Ohhh, I want to voice act for MLP!
ReplyDelete>.<
I have no idea what the hay you're talking about, but I love it!!!!
ReplyDeletewtfdidijustwatch.pmg
ReplyDeleteI took a look at his Twitter feed and I couldn't find anything about Luna's VA returning (besides wasn't Luna's voice done by Rarity's VA?). Could someone direct me to the conversation that mentions it?
ReplyDeleteOh I hope there is no cross overs it will hurt the show D:
ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeleteI GUESS this is good news...but I got WAY let down from the two seconds of unBRIDLED joy reading the post title to then reading the words "one line".
Seriously Hasbro? The WHOLE SERIES could not have canonically taken place without Luna's character. The only other two who are that INDESPESIBLE to the premise are Twilight and Celestia...I bet this is all just because alicorn ponies cost a FEW cents more to make with their wings AND a horn, you heartless capitalist bastards!
lunaisforeveralone.jpg
A character from... transformers... That sounds fucking terrible
ReplyDelete>replacements to current ones!
ReplyDeleteYou're going to give me nightmares, Seth. Stop it.

ReplyDeletecheck the response the question asked for his response of "why be fixin what ain't be brokden"
Who the hell is Powdered Sugar? Is it that pony that dude is riding on? Because if it isn't Hell NO
ReplyDelete@Anon 08:24 - you DO realize he was talking about this season and not the next with regard to line count, right?
ReplyDeleteA Transformers MLP cross-over would be epic...
ReplyDeleteMegatron has tricked Luna and turned her back into Nightmare moon, he then proceeds to kill Optimus Prime again, so the Elements of Harmony have to stop him and Nightmare Moon again. Ofcourse, Nightmare Moon brings about eternal night, so they get the Matrix of Leadership and use it to Light there Darkest hour, and...
...On second thoughts... maybe not such a good idea...
Seth MLP x Animated would be impossible seeing as ANIMATED IS OVER You might wanna change that headline before you give people heart attacks again
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteReread that line again. Stethisto was recapping Luna's lines in the second episode of the pilot, he wasn't talking about any new lines she might have in the second season.
New transformers movie => Apparently there have been big hulking transforming death bots on the moon for some time now.
ReplyDeleteSo, all the Equestrians would need is to somehow get to the moon.
Nah. Not happening.
...right?
<@Sethisto>
ReplyDeleteSeth can you just give us a link to this twitter page? or am I a sillyfilly and missed it?
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteThanks, Seth! Can't believe I missed it in plain sight like that.:\
Transformers animated? No no no, that's all wrong. The only Transformers series that should be crossed over with FiM is Beast Wars. It would be glorious.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteNo. No, I did not. My previous happiness is rekindled!!! Thank you!
(except for the pure horror I feel lingering from that TF:A clip, and the implication that crossover might actually happen)

Crossover Won't happen Animated Ended YEARS ago
ReplyDelete"and not replacements to current ones!"
ReplyDeleteWhat? They're replacing the current voice actors?
Luna is mai waifu i love her "im sorry" :p
ReplyDeleteWe must be patient, Bronies. We still have at least a short few months yet.
ReplyDeleteOne Line? I want Luna to be in it as much as Celestia is! Come on Hasbro!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAs far as we know all the voice actors are returning. Tara Strong and Peter New have at least stated they have been called back for voice overs.
But Luna's VA is the same as Rarity's.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand. Replacement to voices? Crossovers IN the show (as in, not just commercials?). Of course nothing is confirmed but... I'm going to sleep, I can't think. I hope none of this happens.
I hope they don't add to many new charaters! Having to many new ponies running around could ruin the relationship we have with current ponies we know.
ReplyDeletepony/transformer crossover? That sounds... huh, not sure what I think about that actually. BTW Hasbro, We can has theatrical release movie like Transformers nao?
ReplyDeletePS yay Luna!
OMG...that voice...Thats Lil from the Rugrats if i'm not mistaken!
ReplyDelete@neoswordmaster
ReplyDeletePlayed that link 25 times and counting.
Seeing that Luna only has one line and a gasp, I'm guessing that she will say something stupid and she will gasp when Celestia banishes her again.
ReplyDeleteI assume that crossover thing was a joke.
ReplyDelete...
Please tell me that was a joke.
But Luna! Yay!
Also, I seriously doubt they're changing voice actors. Lauren's still got quite the influence over there and I can't see her letting that happen.
To Clarify what someone said Earlier Seth is Referring to the FIRST SEASON not the second when he is talking about luna's lines
ReplyDeleteIf it's true, it's just confirmation that Tabitha St. Germain is pulling double-duty again.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Rarity is Second-Best-Pony by association.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI think Seth is referring to the one line and gasp Luna had in season one episode two.
I thought Luna had 2 lines and a gasp.
ReplyDelete1. Gasp
2. "I'm so sorry"
3. "I've missed you so much Big Sister"
Eh, I guess 2 and 3 could be considered 1 line because she says the second big right after with just a tiny break inbetween.
BTW, I'm glad Luna's VA is returning... Hate it when they have to find someone else and you can hear the difference in the character's VA like someone scratching a chock board.
I too also hope for not just returning characters but new characters as well. ( This includes more then just making Season 1 Back ground characters like Ditzy/Derpy more official too )
LUNA!
ReplyDeleteDo hope they have a good explaination to her absence in the first season that makes sense.
Aw who am I kidding, if her return is just a cameo saying, "Hi" I'll be yelling, 'WOO! BEST EPISODE EVER!"
" it looks like the voice actor for Luna will be returning; even though she only has one line and a "gasp" in the second episode of season 1. "
ReplyDeleteYou people aren't reading the end of the sentence. :P
It's referring ONLY to season 1!
I just read a comment on DeviantArt saying, "Transformers got us girls, so My Little Ponies got you boys." It just occurred to me how true that's become.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'd be surprised if anyone thought Luna wouldn't return for Season 2. She is Celestia's sister after all. Co-creator, goddess and all.
But I really hope the voice stays the same. Every fic I've read that involves Luna, I've read her lines in that same soft voice she had in the show. Almost like Fluttershy. I'll be upset if she doesn't turn out like we've all imagined ;_;
@Luna
ReplyDeleteSo now Tara Strong is now the only gal with only one pony voice? Awww...well, she IS getting to be the new Harley Quinn, so I don't feel TOO bad...
Holy shoot, I don't wanna toot my horn, but I mentioned this to Wyatt and got him interested.
ReplyDeleteUhhh.... fellas? I don't mean to be a killjoy about this, but what's all the hoopla about "Luna's Voice Actress" returning? It's almost a nonissue!
ReplyDeleteLuna is played by Tabitha St. Germain
Rarity is played by Tabitha St. Germain
So unless I missed something and Tabitha wasn't sure she wanted to continue playing as Rarity... well, why WOULDN'T they continue to use her for Luna as well? She's there, isn't she?
Wait, which one is Powdered Sugar in that video? Is the ear-rapingly annoying creepy-looking girl on the pony?
ReplyDelete...oh, God, please tell me it's not her. Please tell me that voice will not intrude on my ponies.
P.S. - Out of curiosity, how many side characters do we know of on the show that are also voiced by
ReplyDeletemembers of the "mane cast?"
(Tara Strong, Tabitha St. Germain, Ashleigh Bell, and Andrea Libman)
But I already made a MLP/Transformers crossover fic D:
ReplyDelete@Aquaman52
ReplyDeleteIt's the pony she's riding. Not the rider.
The Closest I can think to a TFA crossover would be a character sharing the name and appearence of Powered Sugar,TFA did have background characters named after Lickety-split and Nightbright. Either that or one of the characters has a freaky dream that shifts into animation based on TFA.
ReplyDeleteCool news that the Luna VA's returning though that should be a no brainer and that it looks like we'll have an even bigger cast for Season 2.
Pony news makes me happy so hard
ReplyDeleteLuna's VA return was a bit of a no-brainer. Still, woohoo!
ReplyDeleteA Transformers-MLP Crossover would be absolutely epic. Two of the greatest toys from the 80's, working together for some common goal.
ReplyDeleteWhen Transformers Animated started I was like "hell yeah Gargoyle voice actors, I'm all over this." And then I saw the character designs... You just can't do a good show with those character designs.
ReplyDeleteThe GASP! sounds more cuter than the "I'm so sorry" line
ReplyDeleteBut seriously she has to sound more sweeter
Powdered Sugar is the pony Professor Princess is riding on in the clip.
ReplyDeleteAs I read it, goldenrusset isn't the one pushing for it, potatofarmgirl is (tongue in cheek) bribing him.
I'm guessing Powdered Sugar would just be a background pony or get a few throwaway lines, so no big deal; just an easter egg for the TA fans.
Ha, transformers. What, will they all be horse-drawn carriages or something?
ReplyDeleteBut you know what? Since Transformers and MLP are two of Hasbro's biggest meal tickets, they could have a crossover. Emphasis on "could". It'd be difficult to make it work, but that isn't to say it'd be impossible.
Well, get to it Hasbro. My curiosity is now fully piqued.
The fuck?
ReplyDeleteTransformers in my MLP?
Ther fuck are you doing, Jaysson?! Ruining the show?
I love you Luna!
ReplyDeleteHold on hold your ponies.
ReplyDeleteThere will be no robots, no humans.
Powdered Sugar is the name of the pony doll that Professor Princess rides on.
It will probably be a one off joke.
Go to the transformers wiki and type in "professor princess". Then you will find that "powdered sugar" is the name of her doll.
The only Transformer that I'd like to appear in MLP is Battle Unicorn.
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait for the Luna episode. Not just because it's Luna but also to see the fan reaction. XD
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI am thinking they are referring to her only appearance in Season One, not the amount of lines she's getting in S2. :)
DEMACIAAAAAAAA
ReplyDelete"Goldenrusset is tyring to get Powdered Sugar into the cast of MLP, by way of cookie bribes. "
ReplyDeleteYou are trolling right? Right?! Please :(
As of Luna - MASSIVE YESSS !!!
@Louis
ReplyDeleteNot entirely sure about this one, but I recall reading somewhere that Tabitha was voicing Nightmare Moon, not Luna.
So it makes sense to me now, but I can't recall where I read it, can't provide source so I might be wrong here.
Anyways, stop scaring me with ideas that Tabitha didn't want to play Rarity, I won't sleep for days now.
Based on the video you linked, I get the impression that the inclusion of powdered sugar would be nothing but a cameo, seeing as how she's just a unicorn with no lines or consequence to the plot. The cameo could be easily done.
ReplyDeleteSure do Miss Transformers Animated. Even though that was One of my Least Favorite Villains, That Cameo wouldn't be too bad.
ReplyDeleteBut more Importantly, LUNA (Hope she has more than 1 Line This Season.)! :D
Okay I read Transformers My Little Pony crossover and I was like what? Then I watched the clip and what he meant was the Pony that character was riding on that got blown up by Bulkhead.
ReplyDeleteDamn Sethisto, you really are losing it.
ReplyDeleteTabitha St. Germain has always been part of the crew, she's not coming back. she's always been here as Rarity, this just means she'll be back as another character too. Like Ashleigh Ball with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, and Andrea Libman with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.
