Spike is now a pony! What race is he?

    @draggydragon: I really love your profile picture! The dragon looks unique.

    Spike is not very interesting as a baby dragon, but I think he'd actually be way better off as a pony because the writers seem stumped as to how to fully develop him as he is now. He'd have to figure out his cutie mark/deal with having a brand new destiny as a colorful horse, and he'd probably have a more active function in Ponyville. He would have more in common with the CMC (he's probably in their age group) and maybe Twilight would even send him to school with Cheerilee to learn about being a pony. I'm annoyed at how he doesn't seem to have friends outside of Twilight's crew, and even then, he's just her lackey and the butt of all the jokes. I'm dreading "Princess Spike" because I hate seeing him out in such a negative role most of the time. I want to see him as a hero, or as a contributing member rather than the dude who carries Rarity's things and gets excluded from so many of the adventures.

    Pony Spike, whatever species, would be far more interesting. To me, he needs to get out from up under Twilight and fit in with a friend group. Sure she wants him to assist her, but that's all he seems to be good for as a dragon. Poor little thing. He's already unable to fit in with fellow dragons, and he's basically a pony in dragon form anyway, so in my opinion, he's better off as one. Any of the three main pony tribes would make him a better character.

    Heck, Twilight could even train him for her role when she's too old to go around saving the day. He's had training in princess duties by helping her, he's smart, and I think he could do it. He would need a lot of training, but so did Twilight.

    Hey dipshit, if you read my comment, you can see clearly that I never said anything hateful about Spike. I said that the writers hate him and concluded that they would transform him into the most useless kind of pony possible.

  • draggydragon - 9 years ago

    How is it possible to hate Spike? I thought everyone always loved dragons especially cute ones. Definitely alicorn because dragons are a SUPREME race.

  • Ted - 9 years ago

    What kind of pony is Spike? He's a Fuck Off.

  • JoJo the Hobo - 9 years ago

    @MidGrid

    Because they're bronies.

    And the production staff still hasn't done anything interesting with him, nor given him any fucking kind of relationship with the rest of the cast.

  • MidGrid - 9 years ago

    Why does everybody hate Spike?

  • Dynamic Torismo - 9 years ago

    I swear when I saw "Bat Pony", I thought it said "Best Pony"

  • cylestea - 9 years ago

    seapony becuase everypony hates spike and sea ponies!

  • don - 9 years ago

    Spike don't care as long as he gets a marsh mellow surprise !

  • Ed Prins-Stairs - 9 years ago

    Unicorn as he magically teleports letters to Princess Celestia.

    @Vinzenz ""Spike, you're the new Rainbow Dash!" Duh, it's obvious, pegasus!"

    That's a very good point actually. But I'm sticking with alicorn anyway :)

  • Vinzenz - 9 years ago

    "Spike, you're the new Rainbow Dash!" Duh, it's obvious, pegasus!

  • name - 9 years ago

    Alicorn of course, because everyone wants to be a fucking princess.

    >...Seriously though I don't even understand why you guys are in this fandom.
    The ride never ends. :/

    @TheFictioner

    The real mystery is why the fuck there are any Spike fans still around.

  • TheFictionater - 9 years ago

    *Reads comments* Wow, Spike hate AND racism against earth ponies! Thanks bronies!

    ...Seriously though I don't even understand why you guys are in this fandom.

  • shudderbrush - 9 years ago

    Spike is a Flightless Earth-Dragon ... the show just hasn't officially acknowledged that is a thing yet.

    My head Cannon is that Winged Dragons are the Equivalent of Pegasi, Spike is an Earth Dragon, and Magical Dragons (unicorns) would be Eastern Style Dragons.

  • Emptybee - 9 years ago

    Well let's see:

    Spike grew up in Canterlot. He has magical fire breath that lets him send messages long distances. So maybe be should be a unicorn.

    But he's also really strong for his size and fairly tough too. So maybe earth pony would be a better choice.

    However all adult dragons we've seen so far have wings. Maybe Spike will grow them as well one day. So then making him a pegasus would be the order of the day.

    So then, by my analysis the only reasonable choice is - ALICORN.

  • lightninghawk14 - 9 years ago

    Earth pony? WHAT!! How do you expect Spike (as a newly minted pony) to deliver messages from Sunset shimmer and or Princess Celestia (OR Luna) to Twilight Sparkle IF HE'S FLIGHTLESS!?!? Give Spike some wings; that's something that (despite their bully-like tendencies) the other dragons from "Dragon Quest" opened Spike's eyes up to.
    Let the #1 assistant to our newest alicorn FLY WITH HER!!!!

  • MidGrid - 9 years ago

    I don't understand why you guys want Spike to be the most boring type of pony...

  • Stillz - 9 years ago

    Calpain talked you into writing this poll, didn't he Seth? I say the little shit should be a bat pony, just to put a dent in your stupid fetish for bat ponies.

    @ Acidic, ShadowRose, Rockpath5
    A Spike poll appears, and the first fucking thing under it is another example of why it sucks being a fucking Spike fan.

  • Konami - 9 years ago

    All these people using either huge amounts of logic or huge amounts of hatred to make their decisions, and I just chose Alicorn in honor of Princess Spike.

  • GuardedHeart - 9 years ago

    Spike has the ability to send and receive letters via some sort of fire breathing magic (that seems to exist because "reasons"). That screams unicorn to me, since he is already manipulating raw magic into a spell. To me, Spike seems kind of delicate, perhaps from his upbringing in Canterlot where his duties center around assisting with writing letters or arranging books. I couldn't see him doing anything along the lines of farming or any other manual labor, nor do I think he'd even have an interest in that sort of thing, which rules out Earth Ponies who rely on physical strength rather than magic or flying to navigate on a daily basis. Spike is wingless, and as far as I can tell, he may just be a species of earthbound dragon (hope this is explained later in the show). To me, he seems content with staying on the ground. I couldn't see him expressing an interest in weather manipulation.

    Spike would probably want to be a unicorn. Remember when he asked Twilight to give him a mustache to impress Rarity? Why not become a unicorn, learn the spell, and use it at will? As a unicorn, Spike would still be able to send and receive letters through magic (assuming he would still remain Twilight's assistant). There's a spell for that, as Celestia has demonstrated before. If he missed his fire breath, he could just create some sort of fire spell. Also, take a look at Rarity's crushes. They've all been unicorns, and I believe Spike would think that being one would increase his chances at catching her eye. Finally, Spike already has a lot of knowledge about magic from being around Twilight, so I think his adjustment as a unicorn would be the smoothest.

    An alicorn is out of the question since it doesn't seem like he has a destiny that would call for him to possess a higher form of magic. But, who's to say that Celestia won't get bored and turn him into one for some amusement. ;)

    (puts on super-nerd glasses) Well, you see, when they went to the Comic world Spike became Humdrum, who we know from the IDW comic annual no.2 is an earth pony. therefore by extension Spike is an earth pony. case closed.

  • Rocky - 9 years ago

    Is this a comment section on the poll question or another reason for people to pick on Spike for no reason?

    To answer the poll, I said unicorn because I'd think since his fire has magical properties that he could create fire spells or something like that.

  • Rockpath5 - 9 years ago

    He would become a breezie because the writers hate him. He would be truly useless as a breezie, just as the writers have always intended.

  • Alex Inman - 9 years ago

    Zebra isn't a pony species. A zebra is a zebra.

  • Yotes - 9 years ago

    For a sec there, I thought this had to do with Princess Spike. I wonder how the show would handle Spike becoming a pony for a day. I think he'd spend all day trying to date Rarity.

  • AHurdOfBronies - 9 years ago

    You forgot Elf Pony :^)

  • ShadowRose - 9 years ago

    I don't care much for Spike. *chooses least favorite race*

  • Adolf - 9 years ago

    Let's be honest. He would be a typical Zigger so Zebra it is

  • Acidic - 9 years ago

    He's worthless and barely gets anything done anyone else could do much faster due to their race.

    Earth Pony.
