Applejack is being chased by a giant robot named Starscream. Applejack ran as fast as she could, knowing that she was in extreme danger. She didn't know what the robot would do if Starscream got his hands on her. Starscream ripped a tree off the ground and threw it in Applejack's direction. Applejack dodged the falling tree, but Starscream cornered her. He kneeled down to confront her.

Starscream: Are you the Equestrian known as Applejack?

Applejack could barely speak. She was too terrified to do so. She could only mumble in fear.

Starscream: Well, ANSWER ME!

Applejack: Y..yes. What do you want from me?

Starscream: The Allspark. That's what I want. HAND IT OVER! Or I'll rip your spine out of your pathetic little body.

Applejack thought he must be talking about her new glowing rock. She grabbed it and was about to hand it to him, but Rainbow Dash blasted at Starscream with a rainbow beam. It caused Starscream to be thrown against a tree. Starscream got up and looked up at a flying Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash: Leave her alone. What did she ever do to you?

Starscream: She has something I need. And you are NOT going to get in my way, flying equine!

Starscream shot several missiles at Rainbow Dash. RD tried her best to avoid the missiles, but they were coming in fast. She managed to avoid many missiles, but one exploded in front of her, sending her falling to the ground. RD got up and made another attempt to stop Starscream. She flew all over Starscream, with him thrashing his arms all over the place. He couldn't hit her. Starscream got extremely angry and swatted Rainbow Dash to the ground.

Starscream: You pathetic fool. You thought you could stop me. Instead, you have sealed your doom.

With a whir of metal, Starscream's arm turned into a device with a very deadly looking metal object. He proceeded to point it down at Dash. Suddenly a whine of falling objects pierced the tense moment. The Decepticon glanced up.

Starscream: What is that?

From the sky came multiple meteors, varying in size. Several flew overhead, crashing far away in other parts of Equestria. As Applejack looked back up at the meteors, she spotted one coming much, much closer.

Applejack: Oh buck!

The falling piece of metal was easily four times her size, and carved a long trench into the ground. Starscream threw Dash at a nearby tree, stunning her.

Starscream: I'll deal with you later. I got bigger fish to fry.

Applejack pulled herself out of the dust just in time to get half-heartedly kicked by Starscream as he paced towards the fallen object. She curled up in pain as he continued.

A yellow hand reached from the still-smoking crater, gasping onto the dirt. Out climbed another robot, somewhat smaller than Starscream, but armed just the same. The newcomer didn't wait, but charged the larger foe. Starcream laughed.

Starscream: YOU FOOL!

He threw a punch with his normal arm, landing firmly in the smaller bot's chest.

Bumblebee flipped to his feet, catching Starscream in the head in the process. This certainly did not help with the Decepticon's attitude.

Rainbow Dash: ANOTHER ONE!

With a roar, Starscream retaliated with a barrage of blows. None landed as Bumblebee twisted and rolled around the larger bot.

Starscream: You pile of scrap! Let's see how you like this.

Out of Starscream's other arm came a multi-barreled weapon, the opening of each barrel glowing with a flaming orange glow. Bumblebee was forced to roll away as the Decepticon unleashed it's fury, just missing Applejack and setting the tree over Dash on fire.

Rainbow Dash: Hey, watch it!

Starscream mixed it up, firing a missile in a loop around, into Bumblebee's back. He yelled, leaping forward to take advantage of the Autobot being off-balance, but was hit in the face by a well placed metal fist. As he got back to his feet, Starscream noticed four ponies racing towards them. He fired a few shots towards them, but stopped when he saw the purple shield go up around them.

Fluttershy hid behind Twilight, peeking out at the two robots.

Fluttershy: What are they?

Twilight: Talking cars that turn into robots. Or the other way around.

Starscream: I SHALL RETURN!

Starscream turned and lept into the and leapt into the air. Soon he was a spot on the horizon, jet engines pushing past the speed of sound.

When the battle was over, Bumblebee walked up to the ponies, who were still afraid and did not know what to do about this.

Applejack: P..please don't hurt us.

Bumblebee bleeped and blooped, which really meant, "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm a good guy."

Pinkie Pie: Hey, I speak robot. He says he's friendly. Beep Boop Beep Bop bo beep.

Bumblebee replied to Pinkie Pie, and told her everything.

Pinkie Pie: He says he wants us to come with him, and his buddies will explain more.

Twilight: I just know I'm going to regret this. We'll give him a chance, Pinkie Pie, but if he decides to blast you into oblivion, I don't want to hear any complaining.

Bumblebee took the ponies to see his teammates. They were the Autobots. They consisted of Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Arcee, and Ratchet.

Rainbow Dash: There's more of them. Wait, the big one is coming towards us. Don't provoke him.

Optimus Prime walked up to the ponies and kneeled down to speak to them. He had a serious look on his face.

Optimus: You must be Mane 6, the heroes of Equestria. It's an honor to meet you.

Applejack: Yeah. Thanks Who are you?

Optimus: My name is Optimus Prime. We are Autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron.

Rainbow Dash: Can we call you Autobots for short?

Optimus: Yes, you may, Rainbow Dash. That's what we call our faction ourselves. Now, these are my comrades. You already know Bumblebee. And this is my weapons specialist Ironhide.

Ironhide: What's up, punks?

Ironhide was a big, hulking bot with cannons attached to his arms. He was black in color and turned into a GMC Topkick truck.

Optimus: And over there is Arcee.

Arcee: How's it going?

Arcee was a blue, female Autobot that turned into a motorcycle.

Optimus: And that is our medical officer, Ratchet.

Ratchet: Charmed.

Ratchet was green in color, and he turned into a Hummer.

Fluttershy: Why are you here?

Optimus: We are here to protect your planet from the Decepticons. It was one of the Decepticons that attacked your military base.

Fluttershy: OK, why are THEY here?

Optimus: They are looking for THAT!

Prime pointed at the cube-like rock that Applejack was carrying on her back. It was the Allspark. Applejack stared at it in confusion.

Applejack: Why would they be here for this?

Optimus: Because it is the Allspark. The Allspark is a device of unspeakable power. Allow me to explain. Before time began, there was, the cube. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born.

Applejack: Your race was born out of a magic cube? Weird, and a little ridiculous, in my opinion.

Optimus: I understand it sounds weird, but it is true. For a time we lived in harmony. But like all great power, some wanted it for good, like us, others for evil, the Decepticons. Megatron, their leader, who was once my brother, betrayed me and our race, and laid siege to Iacon, the captial city of Cybertron. And so began the war. A war that ravaged our planet until it was consumed by death. And the cube was lost to the far reaches of space. We scattered across the galaxy, hoping to find the cube, and rebuild our home with it. Searching every star, every world, and just when all hope seemed lost, message of a new discovery drew us to an unknown planet, YOUR planet, called Equestria. And that is why we're here.

Pinkie Pie: That was SO beautiful. ENCORE, ENCORE!

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, so we know what we have to do, right?

Ironhide: We have to keep The Allspark away from Megatron and his Decepticreeps. That's what we have to do. But we have to warn your ruler, Princess Celestia, of the increasing threat.

So, the Autobots and the ponies drove to Princess Celestia's castle.

---

Princess Celestia: Hello, ponies, what's- OH NO! More of the robots.

Twilight: No. It's OK. These ones are friendly.

Optimus: It is true. I am Optimus Prime. We are auton-

Rainbow Dash: OK, we don't have to do that all over again.

Ironhide: In fact, we are here to protect your planet from the real bad guys. The Decepticons.

Celestia: So, they must be the ones that attacked the military base.

Arcee: They are. And their leader, Megatron is planning an assault on Equestria to find the Allspark.

Celestia: The Allspark?

Optimus: Allspark is our life force, the source from which all Transformers originate.

Celestia: Oh. But with the increasing threat of Decepticons, what do we do?

Pinkie Pie: Try to make friends with them again by giving them pies?

Ironhide: HAHAHAHA! Silly pink pony. They would blast you into oblivion. They are not friendly whatsoever. The D-Cons are lean, mean, combat machines. They are hard-hearted, battle tested, masters of camouflage, ambush and sneak attack. They do NOT play fair. They cannot even spell "fair". You do not want them at your birthday party, that's what I'm trying to say.

Pinkie: Aw, that stinks.

Ironhide: We have to hit them hard, which, for you, won't be easy, because with all due respect, your equine species is small, slow, weak, laking bodily integrated weapons systems, like my cannons, and bascially, military-speaking, colossaly mismatched against our Decepticon foes. Now, Princess Celestia, where is the war room. I need to do a mission briefing.

Celestia: It's over in the back.

Ironhide and the ponies walk into the war room for their mission briefing.

Optimus: You'll have to pardon Ironhide. He's a little hard-hearted.

TO BE CONTINUED!
