“This Seed belongs to our creators, whoever they are… There remains a price on my head. I endanger you all if I stay” Optimus Prime said sadly to his team of Autobots as he retrieves The Seed, “I shall take it where it can never be found…”

Cade looked up at Optimus and asked “Will we ever see you again?”

“Cade Yeager I do not know… But whenever you look to the stars… Think of one of them… As my soul…” Optimus replies as he turns to his Autobots. “Defend this family Autobots! As they have you… Defend… All they can be…” Optimus then activated his new rockets in his feet and blasted off into the stars.

“There are mysterious to the universe we were never meant to solve… But who we are… And why we’re here… Are not among them… Those answers… we carry inside. I am Optimus Prime… And this message is to my creators… Leave planet earth alone… Cause I’m coming… For you!”

5 YEARS LATER

PONYVILLE- EQUESTRIA

It had been 5 months since Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends had defeated Tierk and had brought peace and harmony to Equestria. After Twilight had returned from her second trip to the human world to help her human friends stop The Dazzlings, Twilight and her friends had went back to moving all of Twilights belongings into her new Castle in Ponyville. Soon after everything was said and done, Twilight went back to her studies until a new friendship problem arrived in which she would be able to solve it.

“Twilight, are you still sitting there studying?” Spike asked as he walked into her chambers, “You do know that Friendship problems will not just come to you, ya know?” Twilight sighed and turned towards her faithful assistant.

“I know Spike, but ever since we went to back to Canterlot High, I’ve not been as sure of my role as the ‘Princess of Friendship’ as I was. I mean… What if I try to help Somepony again and it all goes downhill from there? I COULD PUT EQUESTRIA INTO A WAR ALL BECAUSE I DIDN’T REVIEW EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ON FRIEN-Ow!” Twilight ranted as her head hit the ceiling.

“Oh come on Twilight! That was just one time! Besides, it’s not like you can stay in here forever. Your friends all probably miss you!” Spike said as Twilight landed back in front of him. “And besides, you might be able to help somebody with a problem.”

“Your right Spike. I HAVE been inside abit to much haven’t I hehe.” Twilight said as she looked out her window at the night sky. “Tell you what, first thing in the morning, I’m gonna go down to Sugarcube Corner and see if Pinkie Pie needs any help with anything, ok?”

Spike nodded and ran over to the window. “That sounds like a good idea!”

Twilight smiled at Spike as she continued looking out at a shooting star only to stop smiling. “Spike… does something seem… Off about that shooting star?” Spike gave a confused look and looked to the shooting star to see its tail suddenly cut itself off and rebegin.

“Uh… Do shooting stars normally do that?” he asked as it did it a few more times.

“No, they don’t… Something tells me that’s not a shooting star…” Twilight said looking at Spike. When she turned around, she gasped at seeing the star suddenly change its course… STRAIGHT TOWARDS PONYVILLE!!! Twilight screamed and grabbed Spike, running out of the castle as the star landed towards the outer limits of Ponyville causing a large explosion.

“What WAS that thing Twilight?” Spike asked as he held onto Twilight as she ran to the landing.

“I’m not sure Spike. I just hope it’s friendly.” Twilight ran to the area as nearly everypony else had woken up from the explosion. Twilight walked up to the large hole and looked around. The hole was at least 40 feet in length. Whatever had landed here was obviously not gonna be hard to miss. Twilight let Spike down and walked closer to the hole, looking into it, only to gasp at what she saw.

Inside the hole was a gigantic creature, slightly resembling that of a human. Twilight shook her head thinking her mind was playing tricks on her. Humans were not 40 feet tall, and yet, here was one, lying in a massive hole. After a few seconds, Twilight realized that the creature was apparently made of metal. No human was made of metal, so it was something else entirely. Suddenly she heard a groan, a deep, metallic like groan. She looked at the giant only to see it start to shift as its hand grabbed the edge of the hole to pull itself up. “GAH! Twilight screamed as she dodged the hand as it landed where she was. Everypony began screaming their heads off and went into their normal mode of panicking as the metal giant began pulling itself out of the hole and stood up to inspect its surroundings.

It stood there with a confused look not sure what to make of this worlds inhabitants, but already was coming to the conclusion that he did not care for their screaming. “Excuse me” it said in a deep voice, which was drowned out by the screaming of the ponies. The metal giant narrowed its eyes as it began to lose its patience. “Pardon me” it asked a pink pony to which it gasped and ran off. The giant finally lost its nerve and slammed its fist down into the ground. “ENOUGH!!!” it yelled as all the ponies fell over and stared at it in fear. The giant blinked at its actions and lowered its head down to the ponies. “I am sorry. Usually I am not like this towards other life forms.” It apologized as a purple pony with a horn and wings slowly walked up to it.

“I’m sorry as well. Usually everypony isn’t like this. Then again, it’s not every day a giant metal human crash lands in our town. My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle.” The pony said as it raised a hoof towards the alien who looked down at her confused. “Is… Something the matter?”

The giant blinked at her and asked “Did you say human? There are humans here?” it said as if the word human was a curse.

“I did say human… And no, humans don’t live here… why?” Twilight asked as the creature sighed.

“Humans are responsible for nearly whipping my race into extinction. After all we had done for them, they turned on us, hunted us down, and slaughtered my own brothers!” The creature said as everypony gasped.

“But, why would humans do that? Last I saw of them, they were kind and gentle.” Twilight said as the alien stood up.

“Perhaps a long time ago… but now… “The giant replied as it got out of the hole and leaned down towards the ponies.

Twilight looked the alien over. While it did appear at first glance to be a giant metal human, there were many differences to it than there were to normal humans. The giant had strange armor all over its body with a slick paint job of blue and red flames. It also seemed to have six pipes sticking out of its back as if it crashed into something and the pipes got stuck there. It seemed to be wearing a helmet of some kind with horns sticking out of it. At second glance, she realized that was not a helmet, but actually its head! Finally, she noticed that it seemed to have some massive weapons on its back, from the looks of it a sword and shield.

“So… Do you have a name?” Twilight asked as the giant was looking around. The giant realized it never gave its name and bent down to her level.

“My name… Is Optimus Prime. I am an Autominus Robotic Organism from the planet Cybertron, also known, as an Autobot.”
