Let's begin our story with a dark twist, shall we? Deep in the Equestrian realm, Queen Chrysalis was using her universal observer to look over the various planets and cities in the multiverse. "Let's see..Canterlot, Ponyville, Equestria...huh? What's all this? Third-Earth? Earth? Middle-Earth?" As she continued to look over these places in confusion, she came across Cybertron, a planet populated entirely by sentient robots. She proceeded to learn about this planet, but inadvertently found herself video-chatting with the sentient and evil Decepticon leader, Megatron.
"Eh? What's this?" bellowed Megatron. "Soundwave! Get this creature off-" he ordered before being interrupted. The Queen proposed a deal to, after Megatron explained it was the Decepticons' dream to kill off the Autobots, not only kill off his adversaries, but her enemies, the Mane Six, as well. The Decepticon leader agreed, knowing this was going to be fun.
Little did they know, however, that they were being watched by a sentry of Princess Celestia's guard. When he had gathered enough information from the chat between the 2 villains, he scurried off back across the land to relay the information to the Princess. Soon, thanks to the Foal-Free Press, all of the Mane Six knew of the dire situation. "So, if we are going to even try to take down Chrysalis and this other guy Megatron, we need to find these Autobots, quick. " Twilight Sparkle said to her friends. Just then, a greenish portal, or space bridge, opened behind Twilight and 4 robots stepped out.
"Uh, Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight continued to speak as she had not heard Rainbow Dash, until the yellow robot tapped her on the back. She turned around to see those 4 robots, and the yellow one said, "Are you Twilight Sparkle?" Twilight reluctantly gave an affirmative answer, propelling Bumblebee to proudly and happily introduce himself and the rest of his squad, who were named Jazz, Warpath, and Sideswipe. "Then on behalf of the Autobots, we would ask for your assistance in taking down the dual threat of one "Queen Chrysalis" and Megatron. Do you accept?" Bumblebee inquired, knowing that if they agreed, their cooperation would be crucial in managing the Decepticons this time. Twilight turned to her other 5 teammates, who nodded in agreement. "Then please step right this way. Optimus is waiting to see you."
Then, they stepped through the portal across the universe to Fortress Maximus, on Cybertron, where a big red robot, Optimus Prime, was waiting in a meeting room. "So, Bumblebee, these are the lifeforms that shall help us?" Optimus rhetorically asked. He shook each of their hooves before saying, "Greetings. My name is Optimus Prime and I am the leader of the Autobots. As leader, it's my belief that freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Unfortunately, Megatron and his Decepticons try to take that right away on a weekly basis, according to Perceptor. Therefore, I lead my fellow Autobots into battle in the most exotic places in the universe to fight Megatron. I look forward to working with you in the coming quartexes."
