Remember when the Mane Six unlocked the chest by the Tree of Harmony which unlocked a weapon that's even greater than the Elements of Harmony? They used that power to defeat Tirek, and of course, the Mane Six could use that power again at any time! 

 

Unfortunately, they didn't. They only used Rainbow Power once... ONCE! I hope you get the reference! :P Anyways, that power should come back in the future, because the Mane Six have been pretty useless in the past two finales. They need to use Rainbow Power again sometime in the future, whether it's season 7, or the movie, or whatever. It connects the Mane Six together!

I really dislike rainbow power. not only for that instant victory power but specially for its tv-show desings with too much mane

If Rainbow Power is readdressed, it needs to be something more than just a instant victory rainbow blast away-your-problems kind of thing because I didn't like how the defeat of Tirek went so effortlessly.

I actually kind of like Applejack's, though.

I also quite like Twilight's design too - her wings look good with the extra colour.

 

I'd like to see it come back (outside of Luna's dreams XD) but agree with Kyoshi, I'd rather it was used more as a boost than an 'instant win button'

Technically, they were seen a second time in Luna's dream during "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep" though it was just in a dream and the Mane Six didn't actually rely on them. To be honest, the designs do look ridiculous because of their manes being too big and relying way too much on the cutie marks, but I do like the additional colours.

I was never a big fan of the designs of the Rainbow Powers.  I haven't really said much about them, because they're only in the show for a few minutes, but there's just something about the designs that looks really silly to me.  Not only that, but I thought the chest that they came from became Twilight's castle.  So the odds of them showing up again have to be pretty slim. 

 

Now a new power, that would probably be more likely.  Especially with a movie on the way; if there was ever a time to introduce a new power, the movie would be it.  Come to think of it, if there was ever a time to do a lot of things, the movie would be it.

That one's the most reasonable in my opinion. Rarity and Rainbow Dash being on the other side of that scale, being more 'what the heck were they thinking?' design-wise.

 

Honestly, from a series perspective rather than a toy sales one, Rainbow Power isn't the best idea. Again, my opinion, but with any long-term series having a 'get of jail free' card power is problematic at best. Especially one that doesn't appear to have any kind of limitation or cap. It's fine for a limited series where the ultimate power is finally shown in the series finale after suitable build-up. But on a series with no real end-goal and it will either turn into blandness, oran ever-escalating power-creep a la Dragonball Z or Slayers (which was actually meant to be a *parody* of that kind of thing).

I liked the designs. Of course from the way it seemed, the rainbow powers were just a one time thing to take down Tirek, and then the chest which housed said power was used to make Twilight's castle, so I don't think we will see them again, at least not in the same way. Unless activating something within the castle has the same effect.

Oh yeah, they should fix their instant victory status, and those manes :dry:. I mean, why those manes? They looked good on the promos :dry:

I hated the designs and how it played out.

Rainbow power is something i like IN PRINCIPAL and hate in execution. I would much rather they never reference Rainbow power again, but introduce something that's basically "rainbow power 2.0" like how the mane six got Individual magic from their EOH magic in Legend of everfree.
