Which is better?

Hai-hai, I'm currently busy writing a crossover fic named "The Megamare chronicles" and above are my design ideas for the (first) titular character. I'm hovering between a few design choices at the moment.

 

A little condensed backstory for those who are interested, many years in the future, in the year 20XX, Twilight Sparkle has become a well respected Canterlotian scientist after the creation of the concept of artificial ponies who take their place filling jobs in society. The mane-six, while occasionaly still in contact with each other, has essentially split up.

 

World in danger. Blah, blah, blah. Evil genious. Blah, blah, blah.

 

This is Megamare, an artificial pony redesigned to save the world from rogue artificial ponies. She has the ability to reproduce the powers of those she defeats, changing colours when she does so, affectionately earning her the nickname of "The rainbow effigy".

 

The second drawing (because I'm weird when ordering stuff) is my first design which sports:

- A soft shade of blue

- A coat coloured head accesory

- A tail with a different colour from the armour pieces

- Accesories coloured after the coat of Megamare's creator

 

The first is my "what if" design, with:

- A coat coloured after "that other Rainbow pony"

- An accesory coloured head accesory

- An armour coloured tail

- Accesories coloured after the eyes of Twilight's friend

 

Which (combination) of these four elements works best?

 

Edit:
Here are the weapon colour schemes. The top row is with colours based off of Megaman robots and the bottom row is based off of MLP characters.

 

Names of the artificial ponies corresponding with the weapons are (left to right, top to bottom):
Heatmare, Quickmare, Animare,

Crystalmare, Shadowmare, and a duo of Drakemare & Owlmare.

Hmm, an interesting little crossover, looks cool I guess .

 

I like the second one better to be honest, because the pink just seems outta place and doesn't seem to blend well to the body, the blue and purples and all that blend much better atleast to me.

Gotta say the one on the left! The design is well done if I may say so myself! Good luck on your crossover fic by the way! 

PS: I've seen this design before, what mega man game was this?

I think that the bottom one is the best, but I'd advise that you change the of her mane to black (that is his mane at the top of his head, isn't it?) Mane's and tails always look best if they are the same colour.

I'm really digging the second one. Everything on the second one works and is pleasing to the eyes. The tail is perfect when its colored black and the pink just clashes with the blue.

This is the game in question.

As for the thing on the head, that's not the mane, that's just the head accesory/helm.

 

Also... "her". She's called Megamare after all. 

 

By the by, because I didn't feel like starting a new whole topic for something so trivial I added something to the original post.

Who are you and why are you copying me

Don'tcha know? I'm Rockmare, the most powerful chibified, ponified, genderbent Megaman clone in existence. I can do anything you can do except cuter because I'm chibi like that. 

 

Also I have a Japanese name so we're totally different eventhough it's exactly the same... I think...

Definitely the second. Gotta make use of the NES's expanded blue color palette!!

 

But seriously though, the blue. The pink just looks out of place.
