The experience soon finds Applejack in a Sweet Apple Acres where she was apparently convinced to allow Flim and Flam to build a robot factory. She finds that her home is overrun by Living Apples and Cyber Ponies, and is unexpectedly joined in her efforts to oppose these foes by several of the Dream Robots.

In response, Flim and Flam unleash robotic versions of Lord Tirek,, and. Both Applejack and the brothers are baffled by the robots who assist her, whom the brothers reveal are not part of their product line. Applejack grows increasingly frustrated by the automatons despite their help, due to her strong independent streak.

Eventually, however, Robo Twilight Sparkle explains to Applejack that the robots modeled after her friends are a response to her own subconscious desires for help. Applejack, as it turns out, had resisted certain helpful modernizations because part of her feared that she herself would be rendered obsolete.
