Also, even if the Mane 6 were somehow able to kill the others, the Sniper and Spy would finish it with headshots and backstabs. Pretty sure mach 10, fourth wall-breaking, and most of Twilight's spells beats bears and Merasumus. I'll give you training and experience tho. However, I'd argue that Twilight's spells along would be just as  versatile, if not more, than all the Mercs' weapon.

Last I checked, I don't think Sniper would be able to snipe two ponies at mach 10 and one pony who can teleport. Would probably be able to snipe the remaining three tho, could be wrong. I'd also give the Mane 6 the benefit of their friendship as in they can see through Spy's disguise because of their close friendship and Spy's lack of information towards them. I'll give you the fourth wall breaking, however, Pinkie Pie doesn't effect others, just herself. Speed could be countered by Engi's sentry, Pyro's flamethrower, Demo's sticky bombs, Scout's scattergun, Heavy's mini gun, or Sniper's SMG.

Sure, Twilight's spells may be an obstacle, but her teleportating would depend on her reaction speed, as this would be a chaotic battle with bullets and projectiles flying everywhere.

If we're going by Death Battle rules, Spy would have no knowledge of the ponies. Thus, he wouldn't use his disguise kit. So, he'd probably use his invis watch to get close to them. Which, I doubt they could see through.

Who said the Sniper would try to snipe her while she's going mach 10? He'd wait for her land while sniping her friends. Remember, Sniper always finds a safe place to camp.

This really depends on the location. If it's Equestria or one of the TF2 maps, then the Mercs would easily win. If it's a large open area, then maybe the Mane 6.
