What if...Spike was a pony?

[Luximus 482]

OR an even better idea. What if the mane 6 traded species with Spike's species? That would look AWESOME!

 

and that would be a good story to tell as well.

[Kaspars L 100]

Spike already is pretty much a pony in a dragons body, but such transformation would be pretty cool for an episode. Yeah, i'd like to see that, but not permanently.

[M the brony 26]

Thats an awesome idea but not a permanent thing but as a one episode thing it would be really fun to see how spike would deal with being a pony

[Faulty Roze 200]

Something about Pinkies's Cutie Mark ear just make me wonder if they'll flail about when she jumps. If they did, wouldn't it be very irritating.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

I would like that idea. It would be an excellent moral for Spike since he already has a negative view on dragons. Of course Spike being a pony would have it's pros, but also it's cons. Knowing Spike he's be willing to change at the end of the episode and his character dynamic would take a turn for the better.

 

 

Bonus points if any of the other mane 6 species swap with him and they become a dragon. Namely Fluttershy.

This is a really cool concept for an episode! I think Spike'd be a unicorn, 'cause that's the only way he could efficiently write without having claws to grasp the quill with. As for an episode with this, I think it could be very possible! I'd love to see an episode like this and I really hope if they ever do end up doing something like this, they do it well.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

I really can't see that happening, I see him more as a dragon that a pony.

 

But if done right, I wouldn't mind seeing him as a pony if well designed and stuff.

[Dzastur 1,719]

I really like the idea of Spike being a temporary pony!

 

I've actually thought about ways they could handle this; here's one of the scenarios I came up with:

 

http://mlpforums.com/topic/66178-male-pony-in-season-4/

 

 

I want to see Spike find a spell to turn himself into a male pony, so that he can trick Rarity into going on a date with him.

 

Rarity will seem to be fooled - but really won't be, and will reveal as much near the end.

 

Spike will decide to switch back to himself (not an easy decision for him), but will require that the spell be broken by some magic from Rarity. Unfortunately, she will have hurt her horn somehow previously in the episode. Luckily, a kiss will also reverse the spell...

 

Twilight: "Wait! It says that there's another way to transfer the reverse spell..." [shows spell to Rarity]

Rarity: [reads spell] "Oh!"

Pinkie Pie "`Oh?'...[reads spell] OHHHHH!" [makes you're-gonna-get-it smirk @ Spike]

Spike "Oh...what?"

Rarity [big grin, half-mast eyes, approaches Spike]

Spike [nervous laugh] "Heh heh...uh, Rarity, whatcha doin'...?"

 

*the magics*

[Blue Bolt 4]

This sounds like it would be a pretty cool thing to happen in Season 4! I have yet to hear a lot about it but one of my friends uncles works for Hasbro so I have a some leaked photos! If you want to see them, PM me and I gladly send you them!

It could be an interesting episode. Maybe Twilight could do it as a spell.  She may be more powerful since she is an alicorn, or it may be some magic item not mentioned in the show before like the alicorn necklace thing or the pool that Pinkie used to make all those Pinkies.  It could help Spike learn more about himself and how though he liked being a pony he prefers himself as a dragon and goes back to how he use to be, or Twilight figures out how to turn him back.   There may be humorous scenes indeed as he adjusts to his new body. 

 

The mention of the Main 6 could be an interesting episode or fanfiction also, or a world where the ponies are dragons and the dragons are ponies.

[Fox801 45]

Well I will like to put something down but everyone already said it. 

But I think it well be a good episode but they well never do it. I hope one day they put a episode of Spike and Sweetie Belle like Spike something make him have a big crush on Sweetie Belle. I well like to see that episode I think Spike and Sweetie Belle they look good to together but it only a dream episode.

 

Maybe someone well make a animation of Spike turn him a pony and all the main 6 character will help him out but Sweetie Belle was the one how help him the most. I can go on but I think you people got the hit.

 

Will that all I have to tipe Fox801 Signing Out!!

[MichaelxXxTrixie 433]

If he became a Pony only for one episode I think everyone would generally accept it and like the episode.

 

Now I have a gut-feeling if he did permanently change, we'd have a much bigger problem than how people reacted to Twilicorn on our hands.

[Guest]

I'd love to see an episode like that. I think spike as a pony (or more appropriately; a filly, given his age (he is referred to as a baby dragon after all)) would be awesome.

[Jamesblorg39welsh 125]

It would definetly be for an episode and then he changes back otherwise there would be more rants about this then princess twilight

[Mars Caramel 319]

If it only lasted temporarily for 1, or maybe even a 2/3 episode row, I really like the idea.

 

However, I still have a feeling Hasbro would happily apply a permanent change for HURR TOY SALES

@@Appledash lover, @

 

As your threads essentially ask the same question and have lead to similar discussions I have merged the two. Any discussion relating to the character Spike and if he was a pony should go here.

 

Thank you.

[Pastel 7,630]

Spike being a dragon is what makes him original, that would be less interesting if he was a pony...

[MindaFan 32]

Ok here's what I think would happen

 

Twilight was learning a spell about changing stuff and decides to try it out but she accidently uses it on spike and he becomes a pony. The episode revolves around the ponies reactions and how they interact with him now he is a pony. Twilight contacts princess celestia and she turns him into a dragon again

[Alan Crytex 165]

I can't even imagine how Spike will looks like if he's a pony xD

KInda weird tho, I wonder if relationship between Mane 6 will change if he's a pony

[HereComesTom 2,266]

Shoot...I'm trying to imagine how Spike would need to adjust to being a pony, and I think not-having-opposable-thumbs would be one of the biggest adjustments for him.

 

I don't think it'd change the way the other characters treat him, but it might change the way he views himself if he realizes that, because he's not used to his pony body, he'd feel useless because he can't accomplish anything.

[RainbowTashie 378]

A little thought what if spike was not a dragon and was changed into a pony what would his cutie mark be what color would he be. Would he be a Pegasus or a unicorn or maybe an earth pony this is an interesting thought i had...

Well i think his mark would be somewhere along the times of a pa or assistant since that's what his true calling is. i don't see the problem with keeping his colour scheme the same purple with green hair although that might be a turn off for Rarity i'd have much preferred to see him as a pone in EQ that a dog

[Art Thief 215]

He'd finally be able to get with Rarity.

[Alan Crytex 165]

He'd finally be able to get with Rarity.

Haha, still depends if Rarity wants him or not

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

Belongs more in Show Discussion, so I'm moving this there.

 

An interesting question. I'd be curious to see if his relationship and interactions with any of the Mane Six would change, and how. Maybe he'd have more of a chance for getting Rarity to go out with him if he were a pony xP

He would still be 8 years old...

Yep, that would be an interesting relationship.

[Psycrow 104]

op, i cant even imagine if spike was a dragon pony thing woops.
lets keep it that way, it makes him just a bit different instead of almost everyone else being a lil horse person. c:
