How do you like adult Spike's design?

[Sepul-Coloratura 762]

I don't know, something feels unnatural for me. It's too much of a humanoid form than dragon. It would be better if he was moving towards those gigantic dragon form, which means longer neck and smaller shoulders. For that matter, Twilight's design seems somewhat weird too, even when we take into account that we aren't used to it. She's too- unpolished and feels like a color changed Celestia without subtle adjustments, maybe it's her mascaras.

I feel like it could be better, but it could be worse.

I must admit seeing it for the first time felt quite weird. It's not the worst design there could be, but I'm not really the biggest fan of it – I agree on what you said about him looking humanoid.

Hearing the normal Spike voice with that design was also a strange combination. I understand they didn't want to change his voice completely (which wouldn't have been a good choice), but maybe they could have made it a bit deeper or something... It's the perfect voice for younger Spike but doesn't suit the bigger adult version as well.

I bet he gets babes on a daily bases!

I'm fine with it, it doesn't bother me. I think Twilight's design is much better than Spike's though.

Now that I agree with. Heck, I bet a few guys would go for him too

[Megas 27,754]

he looks like a chunky, doofy looking frogman

I expected Spike to look slimmer and less muscular. Or perhaps shaped like his giant form during Secret of My Excess, except smaller. So this really feels weird.

Looks like an absolute C h a d. Older Spike is the hero we all needed. 

[Oblivion 20,268]

Honestly, because he used to be always bullied by the other "jock" dragons as being a tiny wimp, I think this adult form suits him perfectly! Bet very few would bully him now as he's become a beast to say the least! I also kinda feel like thats the point, the tiny underdog becomes this husky gentle giant that stands up for others! 

    As for the other 5 pones except Twi, did they really have to give them bags under their eyes????

1 sentence, 8 words: Be careful who you bully in high school.

Kind of wonder down in the line if he's able to transform into a different form in someway.
Like switching from "humanoid" dragon to "big" dragon form  like what we saw in Secret Of Our Excess(minus the going out of control part).

I am not sure how to feel on his form here, guess I am fine with it though the chin is.. iffy(at least the chin is not bad as how he envisioned his handsome form during the Diamond Dog episode and the Tantabus episode)

I think it looks pretty good, not what I was expecting but I am not complaining.

[DonMaguz 1,023]

The huge shoulders don't belong to what I acknowledge as a dragon.

It is a nice design, just one I don't relate to what a dragon should be like.

[sweetolebob18 728]

I remember in A Dog & Pony Show (S1),  he fantasized about saving Rarity. IMO, adult Spike looked a lot like that

[The Nth Doctor 663]

It's way too swole and I wish his wings were larger

[Cash In 22,459]

I don't mind it. It rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it, but it soon grew on me. He may be a tad too bulky, but I guess it's to show that the little guy has grown up over the years.

[heavens-champion 1,905]

I thought he would be bigger.

[Brainstorm 4,112]

I think Spike's adult design fits him.

[Ittoni 538]

I actually like it. It makes sense for him given that he was seemingly worried about his physical image. You know, looking himself in the mirror to "show off" his none existent muscles, day dreaming about himself like this totally Chad white Knight hero, thinking himself being a ladies man. So is not that ilogical for him to try to make some muscle and probably make it an habit. Also, going to friendship missions can probably give you some extra exercise and given that he's adolescent by that time we saw him in the finale it makes sense.

Of course it gave me a huge surprise when I saw him but not only that, the voice is still his child voice. I don't really mind the body but it would have been more fitting for him to sound older, but I guess it was left that way so the voice actor could have their last episode and send-off too.

Megas pretty much sums it up for me. He looks awful. I want a dragon, not a weird buff humanoid creature barely resembling one. 

[Bastian 13,319]

I have the same opinion as some people here: I would have liked a dragon, nothing else, a dragon for god's sake, a dragon!

[bwrosas 252]

It's classic 101, the dweeb/nerd grows up to handsome/beautiful. Don't believe me? Check out the Fairly OddParents Live-Action Movies, and the character Tootie. Just saying.

That's because it's exactly what they did. DHX weren't going to make an entirely new character model to be used in only one episode. So they went with a Celestia recolor. Personally I think a Luna one would've been better. 

And no, I'm not a fan of the final design. He doesn't really resemble any of the other adult dragons we've seen. Something resembling his Secret Of My Excess appearance or what the Guardians of Harmony toy looked like would've been more fitting.
