Adorkable 2,737 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 (edited) Oh man, am I the only one who seen it coming? I'll admit, although I knew it, I still squee'd. ^^ As for the powers themselves, barely anything is known about them, and we probably won't know more until Season 5 is premiered. But it still leaves the questions: Are they more powerful than the Elements of Harmony? How exactly are they activated? Do the Mane 6 need to be together for the powers to work? Why do kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? And probably a thousand more I can think of at the moment. As for now, speculation time! ^^ Edited May 10, 2014 by Adorkable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor XFizzle 8,670 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 They re-tap into their Rainbow Powers by standing in a circle and yelling and grunting for a full 30 seconds.

Scootalove 10,692 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 I knew they would introduce the Rainbow Powers, Hasbro will now enjoy making the toys. The Rainbow Powers require all six of them, so they have to be together. They are activated when they are standing in a circle when they activate their powers.

Metemponychosis 1,262 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 I think that in the end both the the Elements and the Rainbow Power are the same thing. IT's just that the Rainbow Power is what should have been from the beginning . Or it was but was too ambiguous. It seemed that the power of the elements came from their jewels. And now it's clear that it's all about their friendship. Now, the answer to the other questions lie in season 5. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out. And I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong 1,726 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 Are they more powerful than the Elements of Harmony? Yes and no. There are capable of more, but there seems to be a time limit to how long they can be active. But that has yet to be made entirely clear. How exactly are they activated? Magic! Okay, seriously, I think the chest is in Twilight's castle and they have to turn the keys to activate the powers. Do the Mane 6 need to be together for the powers to work? I think so. This is speculation on my part. I think McCarthy wanted to leave things a bit ambiguous, so they could worry about the rules later. They re-tap into their Rainbow Powers by standing in a circle and yelling and grunting for a full 30 seconds. Compelling television. They turn MLP into DBZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhVAOi_-jK4 Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truffles 2,033 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 (edited) Oh man, am I the only one who seen it coming? I'll admit, although I knew it, I still squee'd. ^^ Are they more powerful than the Elements of Harmony? Not only are they more powerful than the elements, it seems the ability of Rainbow Power to defeat Tirek means it's more powerful than: Celestia alicorn magic Luna's alicorn magic Cadence's alicorn magic Twilight's alicorn magic Discord's magic And all of the magic and strength from every pony living around the vicinity of Canterlot.... Combined! Do the Mane 6 need to be together for the powers to work? Do the Mane 6 need to be together for the powers to work? Seems like it. At the very end of pt 2, the Mane 6 activate a rainbow in Twilight's castle during the song. They are all standing around the star circle in her throneroom and are connected when they activate it.

Tabe 217 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 Well, its proven that Twilight is the most powerful Pony in Equestria, and she is finally willing to admit it. So, Ponyville became twilights kingdom, huh? I guess we saw that coming. And I loved to see Discord at such a vulnerable state, can't wait to see more of him! 1 I am a brony, and I am proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboom Dash 1,056 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 If Rainbow Power is going to be the replacement for the Elements of Harmony, I really hope the design is refined. Those massive hairdos and tails....eurgh. I also hope we eventually see who/what created Rainbow Power and locked it in the box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCS 7,537 May 10, 2014 Share May 10, 2014 As you said, my guess is that more will be revealed about the nature of rainbow power in season 5. But hey, in the meantime we can speculate I think they are the Elements of Harmony, on a spiritual and fundamental level. Each key was obtained by each pony having to put their element of harmony to the test, and all of this magic seemed to flow from not only the tree of harmony but the ponies themselves. They behave the same way as the elements of harmony: they are invincible and are not instruments of violence. Quite the contrary, they bring justice to evil-doers without killing them, they heal and they create. I think the meaning behind this is that the elements of harmony are far more powerful than ancient magical relics. Even though they are now back in the tree of harmony, the magic itself, the magic of friendship, is not bound by physical constraints and exists everywhere. I'm not sure how they are activated, but my guess is that all of the ponies do need to be together for it to work. That seems to be a common theme throughout the show: repelling evil often requires multiple ponies working together in harmony and unity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
