Edit: That was a little mean-spirited. I just wanted an excuse to use that again. *ahem* You know this thread was last posted on in January?

I hope they don't. They look kind of bad with that "rainbow power" all over their bodies. It's hard to know with hasbro, though. They make toys, and this could be perfectly just another whole new line of toys. Which, as long as it doesn't directly interfere with the show, I won't mind.

Apologies for my english, it isn't my first language.

Wow, @SaburoDaimando made a very good prediction without knowing it.

 

EDIT: Oh wait, there were already some rumors about these powers at this time.

Now the question should be asked, are they able to use that power at will? or if not, what kind of limits will be placed on it and how do they go about using the rainbow powers again should another villain arise from the shadows (which will happen).

Personally I think if they do gain the ability to uses their powers at will it will take a season or two before they can fully control them. If we can take any indication of how the staff is going to treat the RP, the animatic from SDCC we did see some interesting things that might lead into such abilities being gain; sooo it’s not out of the question at this point, plus if given time the art staff will be able to re-tune the looks so their more personalized without looking so garish or over the top.  If they decide to can the whole rainbow thing, then most likely will get something later power this season or in S6 that is similar but less over the top since friendship is profits and they need to make new figures every season or so and the power-up thing makes for cheap new gimmicks for toys.  

 

As for possible powers, while a lot of people have gone the rout in fanfics with elemental powers (i.e. earth, fire, wind water, etc…) for the girls, personally I see them gaining boosts or symbolic powers that play into the EoH and with the symbolic nature of their color in the spectrum.

 

Red - Rainbow Dash:

Power: To influence those around her to head the call to an issue and get behind it with the same loyalty and passion she has.

Physical ability:  To boosts those around hers agility and moral, especially if they believe heavily in the cause (doubly effective).

Her color:  Will expose the world to her energy and need to push the limits of not only herself but the world around her.

 

Orange - AJ:

Power: To tell when those around her are not telling the "honest truth" as well as bringing level headed wisdom and common sense to most issues.

Physical ability:  To shield and boosts the strength and defense of those around and creating either anchors or shields that those around her can draw power from.

Her color:  Will expose the world to her warmth and strength that shows her need to make those around her feel welcomed as part of a family or something greater.

 

Yellow - NA but we can presume Spike would get this since it’s what left, though FS fits this color somewhat too.  

 

Green (or Pink) - Fluttershy:

Power: To bring out the kindness even in the most bitter of hearts and to health those around her with a gentle aura.

Physical ability:  Would be a combo of healing, extending her ability to understand creatures (both sapient and sentient) as well as creating empathy and boosts wisdom with those around her.

Her color:  Will expose the world to her calm and positive nature that shows her need to bring a soothing balance to those around her.  

 

Blue - Pinkie Pie:

Power: To bring happiness to even the saddest or depressed individual, she can bring hope to all no matter the situation as well as the ability to push those who dream big in odd ways to shoot for the stars even if most around them simply "don't get it".

Physical ability: Will be a combo of boosting the constitution of all around her as well as the ability to pull random thing out of nowhere that are needed but may not be wanted (i.e. wabajack / 4^th wall giggle powers).

Her color: Will expose the world to her need to share her freedom of thought and body so that all might be able to find happiness in their endeavors. 

 

Violet (or White) - Rarity:

Power: To see the true beauty and inspiration of the world and bring it out of both creatures and land, she seeks to show the world the truth of pure inspiration and beauty through her words, body and creations (more or less powers like radiance but with more cost and cool down).

Physical ability:  Will be able to create anything if the tools, time and inspiration power allows for it, boosts the charisma of those around her and give sacrificial power too all of the girls to boosts all of their abilities (buff battery).

Her color: Will expose the world to her need to share her imagination and sense of fulfillment in the act of creating and giving to the world from the deepest parts of your mind, body, spirit and heart.

 

Indigo (or  Purple) - Twilight:

Power: To create order, knowledge and connection (i.e. friendship) among creatures of all kinds.

Physical ability: Magic boom canon, with the ability to boosts knowledge and act as a catalyst for all forms of power (good and bad).

Her color: Will expose the world to her need to creature harmony and bring on an age where all creatures will be able to learn from one another through the power of knowledge and friendship.

Wow, those are quite the ideas you got their, not sure if it'll turn out that way but I LOVE your theory!

I like the idea too, although it sounds a bit OP.

Yea, lol having some mouse issues.

 

Anyway, MLP FiM Z anyone?

[Jeric 46,854]

The RP could also have been a one shot deal with the castle being the lasting element, and Hasbro focusing on another Macguffin for the toy line.

Honestly not really. To me all or most of their powers outside of Twilights  who is a boom canon are frankly super support things and are based around things they can already do. Pinkie makes people happy, Rarity creates, AJ is normally the commonsense one, etc...

 

Due to the fact that we’re looking at the very less this season and most likely a 6^th  since MLP like story arcs in 3, all of the powers would be something that they slowly gain and grow over the rest of the series until the end.

 

Personally, I see all of the powers coming with heavy cost that even while trained won’t simply be a giggle walk for them since this will be their own magic muscle being pushed and grown. The earth and peg ponies will have a very hard time dealing with draining and for someone like Rarity, becoming a buff battery will be equally difficult since knowing her spirit giving, half the time she will tend to overdo it and end up fainting since her mana pool is far smaller than Twilight no matter what.

 

I suppose I’ve played too much table tops, but really I don’t think any of the powers are op or out of sync with what the girls more or less can already do at the end of S4.
