I found an example of a 1984 attempt by a grocery store to cross sell GI Joe, My Little Pony, and Transformers all together in one newspaper flyer ad.. They called the segment 'Action Toys From Hasbro' and pictured were a boxed Cobra Rattler, Sunlight the Rainbow Pony from MLP, and Wheeljack. I did a recreation of it:

I'm not sure how ponies were marketed back then but this one struck me as interesting because of how the text states that any boy or girl will love ponies. Which is actually true, but not what Hasbro seemed to have been going for. Retailers I think if Hasbro of the 80s wanted ponies in the action figure aisle they probably would have packed guns with them. Or conversely, they'd have given Transformers little cute rubbery mascot animal pack ins or something like that.
