Fiction

My Little Pony/Transformers

After being defeated byTwilight Sparkleand her friends, Sombra was thought to have been destroyed. However, his essence lingered, and he slowly reconstituted himself into crystalline form in theCrystal Mountains.The crystal was later found byShadow Striker,on a search for magical artifacts atMegatron's behest. Sensing the power radiating from the crystal, Shadow Striker brought it back to Cybertron. No sooner than they had arrived, however, Twilight and her friends followed and attempted to blast the Decepticons, only to miss and strike the crystal instead. The magic from Twilight's blast provided the spark needed for Sombra to fully revive, and he emerged in a smoky mass before coalescing back into his physical form. Eager to avoid another defeat, Sombra quickly placed Twilight,FluttershyandPinkie Pieunder his thrall to prevent the group's combined friendship magic from being used against him. He then did the same with several of the gatheredAutobotsandDecepticons,including Megatron, before leaving to find more Cybertronians to add to his conquering army, sending the rest across the planet to crush any opposition.The Magic of Cybertron

WhenRarityandRatchetdiscovered unicorn magic could be amplified through Cybertronian technology, they rushed toWheeljackto put their new knowledge to use before before Sombra could learn of it, unaware that he had seen the whole thing through the eyes of his forces.The Beauty of Cybertron

Discovering the resting place of theTitanScorponok,Sombra ordered his minions to open a hole to the giant whereupon he possessed the corpse, intending to rule both Cybertron and Equestria as "King Sombranok". Needing time to fully integrate himself into the Titan's systems however, he was caught off-guard when the Cybertronians and Equestrians began freeing his army who turned their firepower on his new body. Unable to activate the weapon systems in time, Sombra was blasted out of Scorponok when the Titan suffered an overload of magical energy. His mind left seemingly blank by the experience, Sombra was quickly caged and carried back to Equestria by theWonderbolts.Finale
