	As this magically-enhanced spacebridge pushes through dimensions and materializes in the sky over Equestria, Queen Chrysalis delights in her moment of triumph, even as Princess [[Twilight Sparkle]] and her royal guards arrive to stop the evil queen. But Twilight's arrived too late: as she watches in horror, beams of colored light—each a dimensionally-displaced Cybertronian—streak through the portal, shoot all across Equestria, and come to land where they may, including [[Optimus Prime (G1)\|Optimus Prime]] and Bumblebee, who materialize in the air above a nearby mountain range and plummet towards certain doom! Twilight immediately takes off to investigate, while Chrysalis turns her attention to Megatron, demanding to know what he is and how he can be of use—a question that bemuses the Decepticon conqueror.		As this magically-enhanced spacebridge pushes through dimensions and materializes in the sky over Equestria, Queen Chrysalis delights in her moment of triumph, even as Princess [[Twilight Sparkle]] and her royal guards arrive to stop the evil queen.

Twilight immediately takes off to investigate, while Chrysalis turns her attention to Megatron, demanding to know what he is and how he can be of use—a question that bemuses the Decepticon conqueror.

	Optimus Prime desperately tries to raise [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] for an aerial rescue, but the flying Autobot's too far away and has problems of her own, having encountered an incredulous [[Rainbow Dash]] and the [[Wonderbolt]]s above the clouds. Bumblebee's convinced that this is the end... but Prime valiantly prepares to sacrifice himself to save Bumblebee, intending to cushion Bumblebee's fall using his own body. That's ''not'' what Twilight expected to hear as she swoops in to save the pair; using her unicorn magic, she sets the two Autobots down on a nearby cliff and says as much. Optimus and Bumblebee introduce themselves and explain that they hail from the planet Cybertron, though Twilight informs them that their "shapeshifting magic" won't be of much use on a world like Equestria. The pony princess is just relieved that Chrysalis has accidentally foiled her own plan by summoning such friendly beings to Equestria, but Optimus sadly corrects her: not all Transformers are benevolent. ''Some'' Cybertronians seek only conflict and destruction, and their presence will only bring war to this peaceful world—Cybertronians like Megatron and the Decepticons, who roll out with their new allies in tow...

Although everything we've seen in the issue—Chrysalis's "imprisonment" (see below); Twilight Sparkle appearing backed by royal guards; the complete lack of [[wikia:MLP:Princess Celestia\|Celestia]] and [[wikia:MLP:Princess\|Luna]] during a crisis—suggests it takes place after Twilight's coronation as Equestria's ruler in the [[wikia:MLP:The Last Problem\|series finale]], the [[changeling]]s Chrysalis commands present a major sticking point: in the cartoon, they rejected Chrysalis and renounced their villainous ways in the [[wikia:MLP: To Where and Back Again - Part 2\|season six finale]] (outside of a few rogues who didn't fully reform until [[wikia:MLP: To Change a Changeling\|episode 17 of the following season]]), taking on new metamorphosed forms unlike the classic designs seen in this comic; indeed, one of these reformed changelings [[Ocellus]], appears in a [[Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)\|later issue]].

	* The [[space bridge]] seen here, both the tower on Cybertron and the colorful ring that opens above Equestria, is drawn to resemble its original appearance from the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)\|The Transformers]]'' cartoon, most prominently the episodes "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)\|Transport to Oblivion]]" and "[[Roll for It]]". However, it's referred to here as one word, "spacebridge", as per the [[2005 IDW continuity]].		* The [[space bridge]] seen here, both the tower on Cybertron and the colorful ring that opens above Equestria, is drawn to resemble its original appearance from the ''[[The Transformers (cartoon)\|The Transformers]]'' cartoon, most prominently the episodes "[[Transport to Oblivion (episode)\|Transport to Oblivion]]" and "[[Roll for It]]".
