Speaking of Ahuizotl, I wonder what he and Daring Do’d look like in Steamquestira. I imagine something like the original Scorpion from Spider-Man, his tail being a mechanical add-on affixed to his back.

Ponyville: right on the edge of the eldritch hell-forest and an afternoon’s trot from the gates of Tartarus.
The Valley of Tenochitlan: Ahuizotl’s apocalyptic playground.
The Flame Geyser Swamp: exists.
Equestria has plenty of dangers. It’s just that no one built most of them.

Sweetie Belle doesn’t really count because it was an illness, and Big Mac was a farm accident. You think someone would still look alright if they had a tractor fall on them?
This really highlights how dangerous the Steamquestria universe is sometimes.
Not to mention Shining has the least severe injury of all the augments we’ve seen. Celestia replaced both legs, Sweetie Belle replaced her entire vocal system, and Big Mac replaced most of his upper body, including his face.

Good point. Still could’ve made his helm and shoulderguards from it, especially since those pipes are really close to his head and shoulders.

Presumably the same reason they don’t make airplanes out of the same material as black boxes; it would be too heavy. He’s already lugging around however many gallons of evil smog acid.
My personal favourite bit of this strip is how Shiny’s all, “Crap, this is way above my paygrade!” and then catches sight of Twilight and is all, “Crap! Twily and Mom are here! Get away from my family!” and finally, “That’s…not good.”
The problem with an acid that eats through anything is finding something to store it.

Well, he was a enslaving tyrant who ruled through such incredible fear and oppression that his subjects repressed virtually all of their memories to avoid thinking about what he did to them. I’d say taking a hostage seems perfectly in-character.
As an alternative for that last panel, I can imagine Sombra screaming, “No! Violet doesn’t go with this outfit at all! Why didn’t I go for the green acid?”
Love the 3rd and 4th panels. Shiny looks at Twilight’s horrified expression and decides to kick Sombra’s ass.
Also, incoming Shanks moment.
Also also, hope we see mommy sparkles reaction too because, well his son just lost a limb. It’s kinda big deal yo.
@PonyPon
Most likely, since Shining lost that arm, which means we’ll likely see a Sombra that looks like a Terminator that took a few buck shots to the face combine with Twoface.
Now there’s a sight to see

Well said, my good fellow.

I suppose the point was that this universe has more dangers in general than normal Equestria.

Probably. Sombra’s definitely not happy that he’s got it on him, and I think I can see it starting to eat through Shining’s clothing.
*Her. Sorry
Thought dad could also make an appearance, for similar reasons.

Well, the latter sounds pretty Sombra, at least.
