Overview
Scootertrix the Abridged is an Abridged Series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic created by Jack Getschman. The series follows the episodic structure of MLP with ten-minute episodes, but from an abridging standpoint is quite unique in nature.
Scootertrix often makes it's episodes completely different from the original content and gradually develops a more serious story arc involving an WWI-esc conflict. Though not obvious in the beginning of the series, a recurring arc begins to make appearances down the line and small details in earlier episodes suddenly become relevant.
Another unusual aspect of Scootertrix is that it is far more dramatic than your typical abridged series, and includes developing characters, continuity, and plot twists. Scootertrix is also known for it's heavy fourth wall breaking, to the point where the fourth wall is an integral part in the overall story arc.
It is an overall well rounded series, with an excellent cast of characters, intriguing story arc, decent humor, good editing, clever plot twists, and dramatic/ heartwarming moments.
Scootertrix Specials
Along with the main series are "Scootertrix the Abridged Specials". The specials include an abridgment of the popular fan animation Snowdrop by Silly Filly Studios, a parody of the canon episode Luna Eclipsed which focuses much more on the character of Luna than comedy, and a parody of the first part of the canon episode The Last Roundup.
Crossover / Royal Correspondence
- Main article: [Royal Correspondence]
Scootertrix the Abridged collaborated with another My Little Pony Abridged Series called ''Friendship is for Adults'', by ''TheKanterlot''. The collaboration brought about 2 crossover episodes between the characters of their series (One taking place in each universe). This marked the first crossover between two different abridged series for My Little Pony.
The crossover also spawned a spin off series called Royal Correspondence, which is a continuation of the crossover in which the Luna from each dimension began a correspondence with each other, hence the title. On every day of release, one episode, from the perspective of Scootertrix's Luna, will be released on the Scootertrix Studios channel, while the other, from the perspective of TheKanterlot's Luna will be released on that channel instead.
