All of them walking including the ponies. But there is one thing... the ponies got scared into the forest, Hot Rod feels about the ponies are afraid for a second ambush "What's going on?" He said "Something's got them spooked" Wheeljack said, the Autobots keep looking around in the forest, and Doubledealer hides in the shadow of the tree, using a smoke bomb to throw into the ground. The smoke bomb landed here and Hot Rod thinks what's with the smoke bomb "What is that?" He said and now the smoke bomb explodes into Autobots and Ponies, they cover their eyes and Hot Rod said "Huh?" He said after the smoke is clear, here comes the bigger ambush... Starscream and the Mercenaries! Megatron screams about Starscream's betrayal "YOU PESKY DECEPTICON COWARD!" He shouted and he blast with the ion cannon shoots Starscream, Starscream moves back to the Mercenary walks backwards to Megatron. Soundblaster shoots Megatron and he gasps from the shot. Bumblebee gasps to Megatron to fall back "No!" He shouted helping Megatron out to the blast. "Look's like we have to stop him! Tempest!" Hot Rod shouted to Tempest for their teamwork. He use the flamethrowers to flame the Mercenaries to leave away. Doubledealer moves fast into the flames and he keeps firing into Autobots and Ponies. By blasting the stones into the cliff "More traps!" Starlight shouts to the ponies. Starscream smile to the Autobots "Just as I suspected" He said. Sideswipe gasps to see Starscream for the trap "It's Starscream, watch for the Mercenaries!" He said to the Autobots and ponies "Still he resists! I have seen enough" Starscream said and he has a plan to the retreat "We'll give 'em everything we've got, on three. One, two..." He said and the Mercenaries got their retreat to follow Starscream. And Hot Rod thinks that their retreat "Three? Guess he had enough" He said "I want that fool to blast to bits!" Megatron said while holding the fist for anger "No. Starscream doesn't run. He's planning to find the fulcrum" Hot Rod said, but Starlight sighs because they're back to normal "Well, it's over. Come on!" She said, and the Autobots transform into vehicles riding alongside by their ponies, they roll fast into the Undiscovered west to follow. "Yes, lead us to the Galaxy Fulcrum" Starscream smile to see the Autobots follow into the Galaxy Fulcrum. Now the Autobots enter to the Undiscovered west, they transform back into robot mode. Seeing a carving cave door into the forest, Hot Rod thinks but Starlight see the Undiscovered West for the first time "This is unbelievable" She said "Who made this?" Applejack asks to the Autobots, Wheeljack check into the Cybertronian letters behind the door "I don't know, but look at this writing" he said "Does it say how to get in?" Ironhide ask to Wheeljack about entering the door, Wheeljack translates the Cybertronian letters saying the word "Autobots, challenges, Autobot touch..." He gasps to see the full translation "The Autobots challenge to the cave, someone the Autobot touch the door!" He said, Hot Rod walks in and he holds the door from his hand. Now the glowing Cybertronian letters awake, and the door is moving fast. Hot Rod thinks about the glowing letters awake, but Sunstreaker ask to the ponies "Let the ponies lead, they don't been here before" He said while using the thumbs up to the ponies "Right! They don't know where we're going" Megatron disgusted to enter the Undiscovered Cave. But the ponies feel scared to the Autobots but Sideswipe said to the Autobots "Be my guest" He said. Now the Autobots walk through the Great Maze in Equestria. Hot Rod sees the glowing light in the destination "The light. All we have to do is follow it" He said, the Autobots and Ponies run fast into the maze, but there is a game who got stuck "The walls are moving" Starlight gasps "Hold on!" Megatron said holding Starlight, Trixie and Tempest. The Autobots keep running fast into the Great Maze quickly. Meanwhile, Starscream and the Mercenaries arrive in the Undiscovered West, Doubledealer ask to Quintesson on this hologram screen "Shall I follow?" He said "You must... You have chosen your prey?" He replied "We have" He said while accepted this mission "Go, I will guide you" The Quintesson said and the screen off, the Mercenaries and Starscream are ready to follow the Autobots and Ponies. After few minutes for running, they stopped Sunstreaker seeing the big opening door "We won't be here long! There's a room up there!" He said, and the Autobots keeps running fast and they saw a huge lair with all Cybertronian Symbols and Cutie Marks like the Mane Five in the floor. Wheeljack seeing the same writing of the Cybertronain letters "It's that same writing" Wheeljack said "What's it say?" Hot Rod ask to him "It should say, "Twilight cannot understand those Cybertronian words. Finally" Is it?" Applejack said about the words, but the Autobots sighed to Applejack and Wheeljack translates the word "I think these are Elements of Harmony names. Like them" He said to the Mane Five. Wheeljack continues translating the words for saying "The Elements of Harmony stand like a compass." He said "But a compass has four directions." Hot Rod said looking the floor has six lines and sides "And which one of... us?" Sunstreaker asks to Rainbow Dash "But the Elements of Harmony has six elements. Like the Cutie Marks on the floor. Magic and Kindness and Honesty and Royalty and Generosity and Laughter" Rainbow Dash said with a learning lesson about friends. Wheeljack keeps translating the words "Together but not one" He said "Sure, Six elements to open the fulcrum" Applejack said but Fluttershy ask about to open the fulcrum "How do we open the fulcrum?" She asks and Wheeljack knows the answer "Six ponies, six elements... We need Twilight" He said "But Twilight join Optimus Prime, we cannot open the fulcrum!" Hot Rod said and now there is a big surprise "Did someone say... Twilight Sparkle?!" A voice appear and the emp bombs is coming to the Autobots "Electromagnetic bombs! Take cover!" Hot Rod shouts and the grenade blows and the Autobots grunts and they cannot move. Rarity use her horn to shield Hot Rod, Rarity keeps grunting to the horn and the Mercenaries arrives to the Autobots "It's Starscream!" Bumblebee shouted, and the Mane Five keeps fighting to Starscream and the Mercenaries. Doubledealer use his shock blast to the ponies, blast away into the wall and fainted. Starscream shoots the floor at the center of the room. Blasting a few times with a large dust smoke. Starscream finally found the Galaxy Fulcrum lifting up to him. Starscream is very happy to control the power. Hot Rod gasps to see Starscream stealing the Fulcrum "No!" He shouted "Feel that? It is the power that you squandered." Starscream said and transforms into a jet fly away out into the cave. Bumblebee shouts to Hot Rod "GO! AFTER HIM!" He shouts and Hot Rod feels angry to Starscream, Hot Rod transforms into vehicle fast to capture the Fulcrum. Megatron stops struggling and he follows Starscream too. He transforms into tank and rolling fast into Starscream. Starscream transforms into robot mode and Hot Rod runs fast, transform and he use a big punch into the cockpit from his chest. The glass shattered to Starscream "Fool!" He shouted and he use hand-held guns shooting Hot Rod, but Hot Rod keeps using the flamethrowers to fire away the missiles "You do not control the Fulcrum. It was belong to Optimus Prime" He said angrily "I have the fulcrum. And you are alone" Starscream said while holding the fulcrum "NO, I'M NOT!" Hot Rod shouts and yells run fast to Starscream to hit him. Hot Rod punch his face and he takes the Galaxy Fulcrum into him. Starscream shouts into the gates of Undiscovered Cave "Autobot!

He is with us!" He shouted, Starscream groaned and he feels for a retreat "We'll see about that" Starscream said, transform into a jet to a retreat. Megatron shoots Starscream, but he is a bigger coward to him "YOU COWARD!!!!!" Megatron shouts. Rarity, Starlight and Trixie use their horns to free the Autobots from the electromagnetic stasis lock. The Autobots gasps and they keep running fast. Hot Rod sighed and Megatron holds his hand to him "Thank you" He said to Megatron "Well, this is about friendship, isn't it?" He said, after the Autobots and Ponies arrive to see the Fulcrum, Bumblebee is very happy to see Hot Rod holding the artifact "Wow! You did it!" He said "No, we did it" Hot Rod said about the friendship thing "That's how you are part of the Friendship" Rarity said, and the Autobots walk into him to become... a leader "You are a leader now, Hot Rod" Rainbow Dash said to him "Okay, we'll must go to Canterlot. Then we will save Equestria." Hot Rod said. And now this is a new fight begins. At Canterlot, the Quintessons feels angry to the Mercenaries, smashing the flower vase and he say "YOU LOSE THEM?!"
