CastletonSnob 3,074 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 What would be a good alternate Mane Six? You know, six characters who could take over if the Mane Six die or incapacitated. Mine:LyraBon-BonDerpyCloudchaserVinylOctavia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrus 696 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 That's all I could think of that would replace them. §I Was Born Awesome, Not Perfect§ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutral 1,185 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Yeah those 6 look like a good alternate version of the mane 6.

VitalSpark 1,830 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) I think it would be best to go for a "younger generation" to replace them. Twilight ? to-be-introduced daughter of Shining Armor and Cadence ("Princess Skyla") Applejack ? Apple Bloom Rarity ? Sweetie Belle Rainbow Dash ? Scootaloo Pinkie Pie ? Peachy Pie Fluttershy ? Zipporwhill Allow me to explain my reasoning. It's not just "choose any random 6 fillies I like". The original mane 6 had the balance of 2 unicorn ponies, 2 pegasus ponies, and 2 earth ponies. I've kept that balance. In the original mane 6, one of the unicorns had the potential to ascent to alicorn status. In my younger generation, that would be Twilight's niece who would be descended from a fairly powerful unicorn (Shining Armor), and an alicorn (Cadence), and might have been influenced in her upbringing by Twilight Sparkle. She would be a perfect candidate for the element of magic. It's quite easy to see how Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo could grow into their sisters' roles. (In the case of Scootaloo, surrogate sister.) Peachy Pie is an earth pony filly, but more than that she won a prize in Show Stoppers for reciting poetry on roller skates. In Pinkie Pride you can see her singing along to the party planner song, indicating she might be somepony who looks up to Pinkie. Zipporwhill is a fan of Fluttershy's singing (even if at the point she appears in Filli Vanilli, she does not yet know that it is indeed Fluttershy that is singing). Her paw-print cutie mark might indicate a similar affinity with animals. Lastly, three of these characters already have a strong friendship between them. Twist can be seen at Zipporwhill's cutecenera, so Zipporwhill may be a "friend of a friend" to Apple Bloom. Peachy Pie is shown to be a classmate of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. And it seems that Twilight's niece would be a frequent visitor to Ponyville. So it's not difficult to imagine these ponies becoming friends as they grew up. The only slight difficulty might be the age gap between Twilight's niece (who has not been born yet) and the others. If this did prove a problem, she could artificially age due to the alicorn magic in her blood, or due to an ageing spell gone wrong, or whatever.

Astral Jackpot 57 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) A general consensus among some fans is the replacement six for the mane 6 is: Lyra, Bon Bon, Derpy, Vinyl, Octavia and Doctor Whooves I like this yet don't like this at the same time, I love all these characters but the only problem I have with it is how Doctor Whooves is male and doesn't really fit in like the rest. I say suitable replacements for him though would be: Cloud Kicker, Colgate, Berry Punch or Carrot Top. Or you could try making an all male team of: Doctor Whooves Big Mac Cheese Sandwich Flash Sentry Soarin Shining Armor Edited January 11, 2015 by Astral Jackpot 5 Astral "Awesome" Jackpot EST 03.01.1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kurtis 636 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 My pick would be: Trixie Coco Pommel Maud Pie Big Macintosh Lightning Dust Cheese Sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Oceangem 61 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I know there are problems with these characters but just as a backup team I would say Loyalty- Maude Pie Laughter-Berry Punch Generosity- Mrs. Cake Honesty-Silver Shill Kindness- Carrot Top...? Magic- Sunset Shimmer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitalSpark 1,830 January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 A general consensus among some fans is the replacement six for the mane 6 is: Lyra, Bon Bon, Derpy, Vinyl, Octavia and Doctor Whooves.[...] The only problem I have with it is how Doctor Whooves is male and doesn't really fit in like the rest. Also you have three earth ponies, and only one pegasus. Replacing Hooves with a pegasus mare would fix both of these issues. Magic- Sunset Shimmer Any team with Sunny in is automatically a good team. That said, I can't see how your team would even meet each other. Sunset Shimmer doesn't even live in the same universe as them (currently). 2 ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine: Lyra Bon-Bon Derpy Cloudchaser Vinyl Octavia that's actually a good alternate mane six. I mean, they're the primary background ponies. (though I had to google cloudchaser since it's the first time I heard of her.)

sweetolebob18 728 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Well, if you are going for the next generation, that lets out older ponies, so Spike Loyalty Cheese Sandwich Fun/Laughter Little Strong Heart (the Buffalo) Generosity Sweetie Belle Kindness (Yeah, she hit a bad patch in "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils", but Fluttershy has had bad patches, too) Apple Bloom Honesty (The Apple don't fall far from the tree, says AJ) Scootaloo Magic/Friendship (?) Kind of by default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Oceangem 61 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Ya I know Sunset doesn't live in the same universe, like I said there were problems in the team. Honestly I wish EG2 had ended with Twi AND Sunny had gone back home seeing as there is already a "real" Sunset Shimmer already in the human world. ~sigh~ I can dream..

Silver Letter 1,832 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Interesting idea. I think it would be hard to come up with a new main cast. Maybe very hard. They would need to be tied together somehow for it to work but not forced. I would not choose non ponies or male characters. But it might work with Sunset Shimmer and the Cutie Mark Crusaders too, at the least. But I could not choose the background characters by any stretch of the imagination. They are not main six material. Silver Letter!!! Silver Letter's MLP collection Have: 946 https://data.mlpmerch.com/checklist/180/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) Personally I would prefer 5 new characters + Derpy 6 new characters than re-using existing ones, it would be more interesting.... Edited January 12, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetrakemy 221 January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Octavia - Applejack replacement - Earth Pony Lightning Dust - Rainbow Dash replacement - Pegasi = Holly dash is also good. Maud Pie - Pinkie Pie replacement - Earth Pony Lavender skies -Fluttershy replacement....looks just like her - Pegasi Trixie - Twilight replacement - Unicorn Diamond Mint - Rarity replacement - Unicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judgement 445 January 14, 2015 Share January 14, 2015 Just as long as Derpy, Octavia, and Vinyl would be three of the 6, it'd be a perfect team. Lyra - Twilight Vinyl - Pinkie Pie Octavia - Rarity Derpy - Rainbow Dash RainbowShine - Fluttershy Bon Bon - Applejack Even though the older generations of MLP were pretty tasteless, they could revive some of those ponies like Starsong, Toola-Roola, etc. for nice replacements. Since the 100th episode of FIM is going to be centered around background ponies, it would be cool if they had an alternate intro to go along with it and the mane 6 were replaced with these. 1 Tom V.S.
