(Canterlot Mountain, 4:25 AM, 3rd POV)
Long Ago, somewhere inside the mountain where Canterlot stands on
As the camera slowly got out of the dark screen and goes through the entrance before it closes with just a roll and goes through the hallways of this unknown mine which had small glowing lights inside of the supporters and a few beeping noises here and there. And so as the camera turns a corner that led it to the main room. Where a 40 foot tall figure sat at its throne where it sat in darkness, hiding from Lunas glimmering moon, courtesy of the cave within the mountain, hiding the tall figure, but did not hide the glows from its eyes and parts from the body. It was there only resting with its head with the support of his hand which kept the face from falling.
But that was when the unsupported roof of stone hit the figure. Hard.
”GAH, What the!!” as the large bellowing voice echoed throughout the hallways of the built mine as it then looked up at the unsupported roof, grumbling while doing so, as it then went to another location where it slept and as it turned on the lights reveal the figure.
As the lights turn on dimly which was enough to make the figures body visual to the eye which revealed the tall figure which had a red visor and a faceplate covering its face for a better vision, had a chest plate of gold with three glowing red circles across it, and with every step it takes the whole world of Equestria shakes, but the most important detail of it all that this figure had a symbol which puts anycreature in a mood of unease.
This is the one they call King, leader of the Dinobots or better known as-
*Sigh* Sorry sorry sorry, author here to cut that part it’s just that I just feel so tired of that tone of narration, so as you can already see him the one they call Grimlock. How do I know he’s a he and how do I know this is him you might ask, well it’s been four months since he-er I mean when they got here, and I’ll introduce the other five later, so you’ll see. So let’s just say that this one now that is now in his own charging station, used to be a senior that’s right a human (gasps dramatically) how do I know he’s a human you might say hehe well let’s just hope you believe this. But that Grimlock your seeing is not yours from Fall of Cybertron, and yeah I’m doing this Kuzko style.
Well for now at least.
His name is Gabe, leader of the Dinobots. He used to be human and he’s fine not being human anymore, wanna know why well here’s the funny thing because..well. He is not the best of the best as he used to be a 5’2 who is a little chubby and sorta worked out from time to time and sometimes ate some healthy food back then but here he’ll have to get used to it and hope that griffins, maybe some hippogriffs eats meat, and he just hopes someone or somepony understands his taste and if he’s lucky maybe he’ll find a pony who at least has a taste for meat but he has to see that for himself. But the worst thing is that he sometimes doubt himself and shames himself about his body, so yeah his life is not pretty good but all of that will change soon.
Sorry for if you wanted a heroic description (Reminds me of a movie where three vegetables were misunderstood as heroes). Gabe has a short temper due to some gaming losses and deaths (and maybe some outside interactions and impatience) like Getting Over It, Doom Eternal, Titanfall 2, and a hell lot of other games (except for WFC and FOC) he broke his controllers on, as for his other five friends-er I mean teammates, who are obviously Slag, Swoop, Snarl, Sludge, and Slash. And as for their names you will see soon enough. *Sigh* So I should probably let you know how he got here though, so I’ll search his memory banks so this can be a lot more easier, just let me show you how this all started in the beginning and- oh wow the memory I just went through brought me where Gabe was just 9 years old when he just discovered My Little Pony, and that was the same year he played Fall of Cybertron and DID play War for Cybertron back then when he had (and still owns) his PS3 in 2010 along with the game, and if your wondering Gabe is still a fan of both transformers and probably a bit of MLP because he sorta only know some episodes but not a lot, and he probably did watch the movie also as well.
As for the ones who brought them here. They still thought it was a good idea to bring humans here and put them into the mechs that make decepticons and even Megatron wet themselves. So anyways it’s time to show you how he got here.
In his point of view.

(Virginia, 10:23 AM, Gabe POV)
(IPhone Alarm)
Uuuuuuuugh
(Slowly turns off alarm and stares at the roof)
It was just another day for me in a drowsy sleep, yep this was the one place where I could relax and stay in one place. My bedroom. As for how I am though, I’m sometimes considered lazy, but sometimes I try to to do something outside like um rock climbing, not the dangerous one, there is a gym that has that or whatever you call it for you to rock climb inside. As for my personality, it’s kinda complex, I’m not very brave or have any courage unfortunately and sometimes from happy to damn depression, don’t worry though it’s short. Also for someone who wishes to be around other people and try to socialize I never was able to make friends unfortunately and I’m not the one who’s always optimistic all the time and sometimes thinks about that I have adhd but I hide it well sometimes.
But when I saw how Grimlock was in Fall of Cybertron when I first played it, the words I always liked always affected my mind “Never, never give up!!!” even I imagine him say it to me for when I do some rock climbing when I get exhausted, and sorry for making a whole dictionary of my personality that was long as hell so I’ll just say how I went about my day.
As I woke up groaning, wishing I never stayed up until 3 AM like always either playing games or just watching videos on my phone sometimes.
“Bark bark bark!!!!”
But as of now I was rudely bothered by the very sound from one of our dogs along with the sound of my door getting scratched by her. So I got up and slowly walked towards the door as I heard her stop scratching my door when she heard my steps as I then opened the door.
“Ugh Betsy I swear to god your too attached me all the damn time, like why the fuck are you always like this to me.” as I looked down on Betsy as her tail is immediately wagging at full speed as she saw me, and as I stepped towards her, she just straight up just ran towards the stairs knowing I would have to come up there for breakfast. So I did taking a step and took one look at my room to see if I can bring my phone again to listen to videos while having my earbuds on.
As I took my phone and paired my earbuds to my phone, I then scrolled through YouTube like I always do all the time, and as I was walking up the stairs to the living room I was picking a video to listen to, after a few scrolls as I was already pouring milk into the bowl with my favorite cereal which was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. So as I was about to eat I then saw my two songs I always like to listen to, so I pressed the first video and there it was, Rainbow, the music always made me imagine what I would do in Equestria, like it was in fanfics so I would go on adventures with Twi and her friends, meet other ponies and be the best of friends, and maybe seeing my waifu.
I know what your thinking who is it, well you sorta don’t know who it is, anyway I have many waifus, some from anime, and some from cartoons but there was one waifu that made me fall for her but I knew I wouldn’t be enough for her, besides who would want a non-athletic, gamer, and chubby lazy boy like me, I mean I may not have a large gut but you know how it is.... Oh sorry, sometimes I have self doubt sometimes I hope you understand but hell if I know. So again sorry about the self doubt thing, so after the song was finished, I then went to the next song I favored as well, the one that everyone loved in the 1980’s or was it the 1990’s eh whatever.
The music that I played was The Touch. Its music that played in the credits of Fall of Cybertron, so I’m not gonna lie, I did tear up when I saw all five Dinobots together, Grimlock, Slag, Swoop, Snarl, and Sludge, and boy do I miss the game, the nostalgia of two things I saw and played in my childhood.
Unfortunately now in my current life, it has not been well for me. For most of the times I never do any assignments from school or have good grades, because the only things I do from school is when there’s easy homework. As for having friends. I do have some but some people saw me as annoying and I did see myself kinda awkward as I said in the beginning of this, so anyway on with my day.
“Jesus Betsy do you always have to look at me like that every time.”
*whimper*
“Ok ok Betsy, fuckin hell why do you always want attention.”
I then started to pet her for a few seconds but soon as I moved my hand for a SECOND she immediately barks again at full volume.
”Bark!!”
“Agh!!! Alright ok fine a few more and then can you leave me alone ok.” As I putted my hand back on her and a few pats, and also making sure Betsy doesn’t bark again I left to the kitchen.
I was still on the phone looking for more videos to watch so I decided to watch some old vine compilation from back then, because hey nostalgia is one hell of a thing for me because everything was simple back then. I then heard some steps coming from upstairs.
“Morning Gabe.” As I heard that voice I knew that was my mom, so I returned the greeting with a wave. As for my family sometimes we argue but we do forget them easily but for me I get angry for stupid shit sometimes and even punched a hole in the wall.
I was still scrolling through my phone and making my way downstairs to the basement, and before you say it, yes I do live in the basement and my room is downright small as fuck. Well it’s not too small but it’s still kinda small, so enough about that, as I then grabbed my PS4 controller (still wish I would’ve gotten the PS5 but still though I lost hope) as I then pressed the home button and turned on the console.
As the console started up, I stared blankly at the screen which showed games that I played multiple time and that was when I thought of the old PS3.
I still had the PS3 but it was in my closet for safekeeping along with some games like GOW III, PlayStation All-Stars, Ratchet and Clank, much more games , and Transformers War and Fall of Cybertron. So I stared blankly at the screen as the home music played, I couldn’t know what to play, either VR or normal games, so I decided to go on a nostalgia trip for how I used to play, so I got up from the bed and to my closet I opened the doors to reveal a cramped up space filled with a clothes drawer, a box full of LEGO sets, and some toys up top on a shelf.
I knew where the PS3 was just incase if my dad ever found out about that I still had the console and take it away because of my grades and all that so yeah. Anyway I putted it under a big teddy bear me and my sis used to play with when we were little and guess what, it was the perfect hiding place for some things well if you can stuff everything in the corner. And there it was, my old PS3 with little dust but with the only thing that’s missing, is the two discs of the most two most legendary games ever. War and Fall of Cybertron, man just looking at them reminds me how much people including myself played these to death. I guess I need to find an outlet to play this and- oh what the fuck man, that right there is one bug I despise, spiders, including but not limited to bees, wasps, centipede, and any sort of bug that has weird ass appearances and those that have stingers. Now I just need to get a tissue aaaaaaand.
*SLAM*
Hm. Stupid Bug. I fucking hate these guys that always bother my shit, and that they crawl on your skin. But sometimes it’s my greatest fear and yeah I’m scared of mostly bees and wasps, and I’ll say it again, those that have stingers, and if I ever see one I’m running fast as fucking sonic. But still that won’t stop me from playing now I obviously know which one to play and that is Fall Of Cybertron, Grimlock Smash.
(???, ???? PM, A Bugs POV)
My plan is near in completion, thanks to my second in command who is the one who knows how to use that blasted artifact, because unlike my subjects he is a rare case that shows more powerful magic like me but the question remains how he is able to have this much magic, hmm, perhaps that could be a question for another day I suppose. But with the 6 empty metal cold bodies hanging on the walls of my kingdom, my plan is on hold, for now at least. All I need is 6 beings who knows of their existence and of their weapons. And how to use it, so I have devised that half of my subjects conjure all the magic that we can muster, along with me and my second command. Soon we will have these ‘Dinobots’ be our tools of destruction for the hive. And that was when my thinking was interrupted by my commander about ‘warnings’.
“My Queen are you certain that it is logical to bring beings who know how to use their weapons and of their biology. If they somehow break out then-.” I had to interrupt his doubtful nature, he may be one for science and research but he doesn’t know the true nature of these beasts.
“I do not care for these setbacks we can use our magic on these beings, after all we are more superior than those giants. They may have their size as an advantage but they are not made of a magic proof metal so we can easily take control of them.” As I explained to my subject about that these warnings will not delay my revenge on the Elements. Now this conversation will have to wait for my subjects arrive to the my throne, waiting for my command. But I feel as if one of my children is hesitant for this. Hm never mind that now for they need their queen.
“My subjects, for far too long we have waited in the shadows due to our defeat to the Elements years ago. But I, your queen has found a way to get rid of them FOREVER!! Soon all of us will see our warriors shine from these once empty metal giants, but all they need is a soul to inhabit their chambers. So half this kingdom will use all of their magic including me and my second in command. Now that we have discussed my plan to overthrow Equestria and the Elements. Intelligex, the compass.”
As my commander, Intelligex fetches the magical tool that can spectate many worlds at will and with a large mana inside it. I have tried to use it but with a power that is near ancient before the Elements existed, I can’t use it for myself but with the help of Intelligex we were able to conjure a way to another world or as my commander calls it another universe on which I call is impossible, besides nothing that powerful can come from that compass because it is merely of this land we know and tried to bring them here, but when we did bring them to dark corners of this hive. They never moved because when we brought their bodies here and it completely exhausted us, and that was when the leader called ‘Grimlock’ felt strange as he felt it along with his 5 other ugh friends, as we have learned and speculated as we had limited time due to the use of our magic slowly, but Intelligex says it replenishes it’s magic slowly due to the magic in atmosphere but it only worked outside of the thrones reach, hmph if only there was a way for it to take love. Never mind that now though.
We have learned that these creatures were some kinds of giants called ‘Cybertronians’ on their world called ‘Cybertron’ on which I call that they have strange names. It looked like that they were in some sort of battle to fight against oppression, personally I would take the oppression option and waste no time making them my guards who would do anything for their queen~. Unfortunately I couldn’t bring them in front of us but instead we got the cold metal bodies, but this time. It will be different.
“My Queen, the compass is now ready to extract the six beings needed.”
“Good, now my subjects aid us while we will soon see the future of this hive come to fruition, and soon all the love in Equestria will be OURS!!!!”
(Switch to 3rd POV)
As they all charge their powerful magic into their horns, the compass begins to spin rapidly, it’s direction going around in circles, sensing their magic. That was when half of the Hive blasted all of their magic at the magical artifact, making it all the directions in the compass glow and making sure where to get the individuals needed. And that was when the queen and the others told the compass where to search all around the whole universe for warriors to inhabit the 6 unmoving machines, but instead of just their universe. It went to a universe where the individuals who were chosen knows of the Transformers existence but unlucky to be chosen as Queen Chrysalis’ champions.
And that was when the compass slowed down. And pointed at a direction, and made a tendril…
(Virginia, 1:37 PM, Gabe POV)
Man I still love that level all the way, how long was it though? I just need to get my phone and- holy shit!? That’s how long I’ve played, well I did play it a lot of times sometimes without even knowing but spending like 4 hours, man I need to take a break man, fucking christ I need to go upstairs and probably just some fucking movie or something. I think Betsy would jump at me first due to her nature, and mom would tell me many times not to spend much time on games. Sometimes my family can be pain but we all have our moments sometimes.
But I started to hear something, a buzzing. A sound I despise most, and that when I turned around to see the one flying in my room, but instead I saw a bright light, this wasn’t good because obviously something is happening and I don’t want to stay to find out! So I tried to run up the stairs but the same light was there and this time it had a pulling current. Those things were trying to suck me in, hell to the no. As I went downstairs to go out the back door to the yard, another was there but this time the light was big that I couldn’t see the outside. And so I panicked and tried to find a way out, but proved futile. But as I was about to pulled in by the light I saw a face, and due to the knowledge of my childhood…
It was Queen Chrysalis herself, and she had a smile on her face that felt terrifying but that was all I saw before I was blinded by the bright light, and blacked out.
Author's Note
God I’m guessing this whole thing is terrible with a terrible background and all that. And I’m going to expect a hell of a lot of criticism saying lot bout grammar and downvotes here. So yea I don’t even know how to get an editor.
So all I have is just mumbo jumbo stuff in my head so I’ll try to organize some things in my head and make it into a story and I’m guessing your about to type “Then why did you make the story if you don’t know if it’s going to work.”
I just have a hell of a mind alright so I just want to get these things out of my head and I know I have to try my best to make my personality fit here in this self insert thing and remember wut the beginning said “ As the camera slowly got out of the dark screen” imagine like how the tv puts on the show again after a commercial break just imagine that. And I know I’m that great.
And intelligex is the best I can come up with and he will have a roll in this. And a hint of what he is close to. (His eyes are purple, a bright purple)
So wish me luck.
And as for how Grimlock looks like here
