Chapter 1 Act 1 Pre Credits

Fade in to field near Ponyvile.  Intro Music:  My Lit-tle Po-ny, Bla- Bla- Bla..

Shots of lazy, useless hayburners milling idyly about

Then, Suddenly..

Sounds of rushing, whirring noises begin to come from the sky.

Shots of ponies heads raising into frame, looking up into sky.

Camera cuts to shots of broken clouds.  We hear an increased roar as if a ship were in trouble and firing retros forward for braking, then rear thrusters forward for horizontal stabilization.  Ponies looking skyward until one raises and exclaims:

Pony:  There,

Pony 2: I see it!

Through the clouds a needle like ship with brief fins near the back descends.

Sound of a projectile's traversal &

Shot from pony perspective as it arcs over their heads.

Pony:  It's heading towards the lake..

The ponies rush over a small hill and down towards a lake as the ship descends splashing midway into the water and continues to the opposite shore and up onto an embankment.

Scene 2:

Interior of Twilight's Castle

Twilight is at a desk reading.   A pony enters.

Pony:  Princess Twilight,  it looks like the Cybertronians have returned..

Twilight (turning in surprise)  Is Optimus with them?

Pony:  I don't know..

They both leave

Scene 3

Back at the lake

Ponies are gathering around as 3 figures emerge from the craft.  By their outward appearance they appear metalically encased.

Twilight ascends the nearby rise and observes the situation.  She then begins to descend towards the craft.

Twilight:  Citizens of Cybertron, Proclaim Signify Your Allegiance:  Are You Autobot or Are You Decepticon?

The figures on the ship observe her and two then glance at each other.  One reaches for his neck.

Cut to a closeup of the figure as he activates a clasp and removes his helmet revealing a familiar profile:

Dr Milo:  eh.. I beg your pardon,  what is a 'Decepticon'?

er-er-er EEEEErur on the soundtrack and fade to opening credits
