The flagship and cruisers deployed the LAAT/i and LAAT/c transports to send down their ground forces. The LAAT/c was similar looking to the LAAT/i but it was carrying a walker. When the carrier dropped the walker it started to move straight to the Canterlot gate. The other transports deployed the white armored troops as Charming Thunder, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders departed from their transport. Applejack was wearing the armor similar to the soldiers but the armor had orange decal and her helmet had an antenna, two gray stripes, and a visor. The dark troopers also departed from the transport carrying its weapon with two hands. It then started flying towards the gate and landed in front of it. They blasted the gate down and proceeded through the gate along with the troops. "Stay close, you three," Charming Thunder said to the crusaders.
