Sorry this took so long. i decided to take a short break from writing this story and then a short turned into a hiatus, so i apologize for the people who've been waiting for an update.
"Television has been used to market toys to boys and girls for generations, ranging from G.I. Joe to Barbie and Transformers to My Little Pony." Wiz starts the episode.
"Are we really doing this?" Boomstick asks.
"Yes, yes we are."
"Alright. Well, Starscream from the first generation Decepticons." Boomstick says.
"And Rainbow Dash of the G4 Pegasus Ponies." Wiz says.
Weiss, Yang, Nora, and Ruby couldn't help but gush over the pony onscreen.
"She's adorable!" Ruby says.
"I always wanted a pet pony when I was younger." Weiss says.
"He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick."
"And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win… a Death Battle."
"Starscream is the air commander of the Decepticon Battle fleet. He constantly seeks power and often attempts to usurp Megatron's leadership of the Decepticons, with little success." Wiz starts going over Starscream.
"He has two forms: giant robot, and jet." Boomstick says.
"Woah! A transforming robot?" Jaune said in amazement.
"I bet you Atlas doesn't have anything like that." Nora said.
"Not yet at least." Weiss says.
"Yeah, definitely not." Ruby says nervously. Atlas doesn't have any transforming robots, but it does have a robot.
"His robot form is primarily meant for ground travel, though it can fly short distances." Wiz explains.
"This form's weaponry consists of cluster bombs, missiles, machine guns, and his trademark Null Ray, a laser that shuts down anything that uses electricity." Boomstick says.
"So in theory, he has something to counter Nora." Pyrrha points out.
"Maybe, but that's where my baby comes in." Nora says as she pulls out Magnhild.
"He can transform into an F-15 Eagle; a twin engine, all weather fighter jet with top speeds reaching Mach 2.8, nearly three times the speed of sound." Wiz explains.
"In jet form, he can fire three different types of homing missiles, from short ranged Sidewinders to long ranged Slammers. And if those don't do the trick, he's equipped with an M61A1 Vulcan Gatling Gun, that fires 20-millimeter ammo at 6000 rounds per minute. Fun fact: it also works great for hunting!" Boomstick continues.
"Oh boy, he would be a threat if he were to ever make it to Remnant." Jaune says.
"Yeah, with this impressive weaponry, he must be really deadly." Blake says.
"Starscream is a coward, and uses cheap tricks, often shooting his opponents in the back." Wiz points out, surprising the room.
"Wow, all that firepower and he still feels the need to cheat." Pyrrha says, shaking her head.
"I can't stand cheaters." Yang says.
"Got to admit though… those weapons are really cool." Ruby says.
"However, his deadliest weapon is arguably his silver tongue." Wiz continues explaining. "While he is not the strongest Decepticon, he is a clever and deceiving speaker, who can worm his way into favorable positions. Despite this, he is a terrible strategist. Most of his plans instantly go wrong."
"Like when he took over the Decepticons because Megatron had a sore throat." Boomstick says.
Onscreen, Megatron attempts to speak, but can only get out Autobots.
"Too bad! He's blown his vocal components. I guess that makes me the new leader!" Starscream declares, before we see footage of him crashing into the ground in jet form.
"It was short lived." Boomstick says.
The teams couldn't help but laugh at Starscream's failure.
"I guess cheaters never do prosper." Ren makes a joke.
"That's not how leadership works. You can't just declare yourself the new leader just because your current one is sick." Weiss facepalms.
"And yet his persistence paid off, and he was eventually crowned leader of the Decepticon faction." Wiz says.
"Again, short lived."
"Starscream was king for a whopping twenty seconds, a personal record."
"You almost start to feel bad for him… Almost." Yang jokes.
"Twenty seconds is nothing to laugh at…" Ruby jokes trying to contain her own chuckles.
"However, after his death, Starscream discovered his spark, or life force, was somehow indestructible." Wiz says.
"And a good thing too, because since then, he's been dying nearly every episode." Boomstick points out.
"How can someone who sounds so cool be so lame at the same time?" Yang questions.
"His ghostly spark can possess machinery. He has taken over several other Transformers, robots, and even a cybernetic schoolgirl while she was using the bathroom." Wiz explains.
"What?!"
"Unfortunately, his poor knowledge of human society led him to forget to pull up the girl's underwear, making him the laughing stock of the school."
"Props to you, Japan. I didn't see that coming."
"Well unless Rainbow Dash is a robot, I don't think that's going to help him much in this fight." Blake says.
"Kinda feel more bad for that girl, though. She became the laughing stock more than Starscream did.." Weiss says.
"I'm glad he's not on Remnant." Ruby mumbles. If he could possess that girl, he could probably possess Penny.
"You're an idiot, Starscream!" Normally, the character being analyzed would say something, this time it's Megatron, telling him he's an idiot.
"Can't really argue with that. Starscream makes Jaune look like a genius." Weiss says.
"Um… thank you, I guess." Jaune replies.
"Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus Pony from Equestria, the magical land of ponies." Wiz says while Boomstick groans.
"Awwwwwww." The girls, especially Weiss, gush over the cuteness of the brash pony.
"After dropping out of Flight School, Rainbow found a job in Ponyville as Weather Manager." Wiz explains. "She is a strong, agile flier with great durability and resilience. She can smash through trees and solid rock and get right back up. She is also training to join the Wonderbolts, a superb team of flyers who are kind of like the Blue Angels."
"Except they're PONIES." Boomstick chimes in.
"In a way she's not much different from us. We're all aspiring to be like people we used to look up to." Ruby says, and Jaune nudges her.
"She is also a black belt in karate." Wiz says.
"How does a pony learn karate, let alone master it?" Boomstick questions.
We see Apple Bloom kicking a punch bag, only for her to shake a few seconds in pain and fall to the ground.
"As a Pegasus pony, Rainbow can control weather. She can use the clouds in the sky to manipulate lightning strikes and precipitation. Also, she can create and control giant tornadoes." Wiz explains.
"Ooooh, that's neat!" Nora says.
"Controlling the weather is really something else." Pyrrha says.
"She's also got some other moves, like the Buccaneer Blaze, which is apparently so amazing it can't be shown on screen. And, somehow, it creates a huge explosion." Wiz says.
"Rainbow often brags that she is the fastest in the world. And you know what? She's right. By calculations according to this guy-" Wiz says this guy as an image of a guy with curly hair and a euphoric look on his face surrounded by boxes filled with MLP figures is shown on screen. "-Rainbow Dash can fly up to five times the speed of sound with ease. This is apparent through the Mach cone that often forms around Rainbow, which indicates that she has broken the sound barrier. And the angle of which proves she can reach up to Mach 5 speeds."
"Ya know, I'm getting pretty tired of talking animals stealing my thing." Ruby says, crossing her arms.
"Aw, it's okay, baby sister. You're still special in my book." Yang says.
"You're just saying to make me feel better… thanks." Ruby replies.
"This is a pony, a baby horse girl toy. Why is it so awesome?" Boomstick tries to make sense of it.
"And upon breaching Mach 5, she entered hypersonic speeds to create the Sonic Rainboom. With this, her speed doubles instantaneously to Mach 10. And somehow the resulting sonic boom completely shatters the visible light spectrum." Wiz continues explaining.
"Not to mention the sonic boom itself is apparently strong enough to split solid rock and shake entire mountains." Boomstick continues.
"Rainbow is brash, athletic, and extremely competitive. But while she's steadfast and loyal, she sometimes cheats to get her way."
"Is this starting to sound familiar to you guys?" Ren asks.
"Blue, fast, arrogant. Sounds like Sonic." Weiss says, shaking her head.
"It's something about speedster, or something." Nora says.
"Hey! I'm sitting right here." Ruby says.
"I'll say one thing, I'd love to see who would win a race between her and Sonic." Yang says.
"Well… let's make it fight a giant robot." Boomstick declares.
"Yeeeeeaaaaaahh!" Rainbow shouts as she zooms out of view.
"Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all." Wiz says.
"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!"
"So out of curiosity, who do you guys have winning this one." Jaune asks as he pauses it.
"Rainbow Dash." Yang says.
"Rainbow Dash." Ruby declares.
"Rainbow Dash." Nora throws her opinion in the hat.
"Who do you have, Jaune?" Ruby asks.
"I think Starscream's gonna win." Jaune responds, causing the girls to gasp.
"As much as I don't like to admit it, I think I agree with Jaune." Weiss says, causing a louder gasp. "I mean, think about it, Rainbow Dash may be impressive, but Starscream is no slouch in the speed department. Plus, he has a vast array of weapons at his display. Not to mention, he can't technically die, so what is Rainbow Dash going to do to kill him?"
"Plus, I kind of have this feeling that Wiz and Boomstick like to make us root for one character over the other so we're more disappointed by the outcome." Jaune says.
"Well there's only one way to find out." Pyrrha says, to which Jaune nods and unpauses the episode.
The F-15 Eagle Jet Fire flies in to reveal itself to be bumbling Starscream coming in for a landing in his humanoid robot form.
"Who dares challenge the mighty Starscream?" Starscream questions
Out of the blinding sun, a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash flies down in a landing, seeing Starscream.
"Hi there!" Rainbow Dash greets the Decepticon.
FIGHT!
"We got more voice acting for this one." Blake says.
"They're evolving…" Ruby says with amazement.
Starscream mockingly laughs.
"A pony? I'll crush you in an instant. Prepare to be annihilated." Starscream warns Rainbow, who stands there with a blank expression.
"She doesn't look all that impressed." Ren points out.
"She's about to end this man's whole career. Come on Rainbow Dash!" Nora cheers.
"You talk a lot." Rainbow responds.
Rainbow flies around Starscream in many different directions, bucks him in the heel with no effect on him, Starscream backhands Rainbow out of anger.
"That's it. I am going to kill you!" Starscream declares.
Before Starscream can even move, Rainbow Dash flies up and tags him in the head.
"Tag, you're it!" Rainbow tags the robot before taking off.
Starscream shouts in anger as he turns back into the F-15 Eagle Jet Fire and chases Rainbow Dash in the sky.
"Okay, this pony is awesome." Yang says.
"Seeing yourself a little bit, right Yang?" Pyrrha asks.
"You could say that." Responds the blonde.
"Just you wait, her taunting is going to backfire." Weiss bets.
He proceeds to fire his gatling gun, which Rainbow Dash easily evades. He then fires missiles, which also fail to hit their mark. In Starscream's POV, we see him preparing to lock onto Rainbow Dash.
"Alright, don't move…" Starscream says as he locks onto Rainbow, who flies off and immediately undoes the target system, causing the monitor to say 'TARGET LOST'. "Blast it!"
After he says this, Rainbow Dash appears face to face with him, making multiple funny faces at him.
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop that!" Starscream demands.
This whole time, Rainbow Dash was standing on Starscream, who didn't even notice.
"Has Starscream done anything besides a backhand and screaming?" Ren asks.
"She's way too fast for him. Prepare to eat your words, Weiss!" Ruby says.
"The battle's not over yet." Weiss tells her.
"You're not very good at this game, are you?" Rainbow asks.
She leaps off of him, which Starscream clearly flees and then he proceeds to follow Rainbow Dash upward into the clouds. Starscream then transforms into his robot form and hovers.
"Where are you? Show yourself!" Starscream shouts in anger, only for Rainbow Dash to fly in with a rain cloud and places it over Starscream. "Hey!"
Rainbow Dash repeatedly kicks the rain cloud, causing Starscream to be hit repeatedly with lightning, eventually causing him to fall to the ground. Rainbow Dash walks on the ground up to her opponent, but she is suddenly struck by the Null Ray, knocking her back and momentarily dazing her. Starscream laughs, but then Rainbow Dash recovers.
"Well, that's it for her electricity I guess." Jaune says.
"Aw man…" Nora slumps.
"Don't worry, I have a feeling Rainbow Dash has another trick up her sleeve." Yang says.
"Alright! It… is… on!" Rainbow Dash says before she flies around Starscream multiple times, eventually creating a tornado, which he gets trapped in.
He attempts to escape by turning back into his jet form, only for one of his wings to break off, causing him to fall to the ground once again. Rainbow Dash lands and prepares to charge at him.
"That was awesome! I need to try that sometime! Ooh, imagine a tornado of rose petals!" Ruby says.
"That would be cool, I won't lie." Jaune admits.
"Wait! Wait! I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me! Please!" Starscream begs off, and hearing this, Rainbow Dash slows and stops in her tracks. "I'll… I'll join the herd! I'll be a good Decepticon from now on!"
As he is saying this, he prepares to lock onto the idle pony.
"Please, just let me go."
"No, don't fall for it!" Ruby says.
"I know I picked him and all, but this is just pathetic." Weiss crosses her arms.
"Well, I don't know. I mean, I know I should love and tolerate, but…" Rainbow says before she hears a beeping noise as Starscream locks onto RD. "Wait… what's that?"
Starscream's chest opens to reveal his homing missiles.
"DIE!" He yells before he fires.
"Oh my gosh!" Rainbow turns and flies into the sky and up into the clouds as the missiles follow her.
Starscream stands, waiting with his arms crossed in his "any minute now" pose.
The two teams are silent as they wait to see what happens next. Ruby herself leaning forward.
But then, Rainbow Dash flies downward with the missiles still following her, flying so fast that she has broken the sound barrier. She then unleashes the Sonic Rainboom.
Ruby and Nora's eyes sparkle on seeing the Sonic Rainboom.
"Soooo…" Nora starts.
"Pretty…" Ruby finishes.
"Sooo cool…" Jaune says.
Starscream is stunned as Rainbow flies right past him, leaving him too late to dodge the homing missiles. They strike, destroying his lower body, as Rainbow Dash smashes into Starscream and then uses her Buccaneer Blaze, which tears Starscream apart off screen. Rainbow Dash then flies towards Starscream's torso.
"Aw man, I wanted to see what the Buccaneer Blaze looked like…" Yang says.
"I mean, they don't even know what it looks like, so what would they even animate?" Blake says.
"I mean, fair, but still…" Yang says, disappointed nonetheless.
"Aw yeah! That was awesome!" Rainbow celebrates, but then Starscream's spark emerges from his torso, floating in the air.
"You haven't won! I'm invincible! My Spark lives! You can never defeat Star-"
Starscream is cut off by Rainbow Dash, who eats and swallows his Spark.
K.O.!
Both teams were stunned by the sight they just saw… but that didn't stop Ruby and Yang from high fiving.
"Yeah! Take that Weiss!" Ruby rubs it in.
"Hey, I know when to admit I'm wrong. Besides, I didn't want that adorable rainbow of sunshine to die anyway!" Weiss' tone gets more gushy as she talks.
"No way did you just say "Rainbow of sunshine…"" Yang mocks.
"Forget all doubt, that pony is a monster!" Boomstick says.
"Rainbow's speed and agility were more than a match for the clumsy Starscream, and it doesn't help that his aim is even worse than a Stormtrooper's. Not to mention the Null Ray is designed to destroy electronics, not living ponies." Wiz explains.
"She just ate a Transformer!"
"Yes, and while Rainbow might experience some mild indigestion, Starscream's not going anywhere anytime soon."
"Well, she put the pwn in pony."
"The winner is Rainbow Dash."
"Yay!"
"That was totally awesome!" Nora says.
