Well, I have to admit I haven't seen the new My little Pony yet, the original never was quite my cup of tea anyways.
I take you're referring to "Transformers animated" there, tho? Ifso... well, yes, the art style did have me barf bricks at first, but, as was said for MLP too, it's a thing of looking at the whole show. TA was done by many of the people who also did G1 Transformers, including many of the voiceactors and the voice director. Thus it did have so much loving parody, so many nods to G1 it caught even the most hardcore G1 fans if you just nailed them onto a chair long enough to see a few episodes. The show just grows on you.
I think some of the reasons for the change in artstyle, for MPL as well as TA, are to make it cheaper to produce (less detail equals less drawing time equals less money needed to produce) but also making it look different enough so it's a new thing all over again.
That some producers are just art-blind just can't be helped. ;>
