Description Flamingo1986 (Zachary Rich) presents the first of five upcoming Twilight Sparkle-themed weapon designs - the Twilight Sparkle Launcher!

Current Set ►

Previous Set ►

Alrighty! I've always wanted to do another "pony launcher", especially after the quite unexpected fame of my Pinkie Pie Launcher over the past several months (I mean, it became an internet meme! Didn't expect that...). But instead of just reskinning it I decided to completely redesign it for Twilight.

Here's to hoping you all love it as much as the last one! Let me know what you all think!

Only Twilight Sparkle would read a book called, "How to (be a) cannon ball."

I'm having a little trouble reading the scope, its colors are blending a little with that of the main canon tube. Honestly though, that's really just a minor complaint. Altogether it looks great.

Good catch! I realized after posting that the colors on that were blending a bit too, but I was wondering if it were just a minor flaw or whether more bronies would catch it.

FlamingoRich In reply to CloudshadeZer0 [2011-12-17 03:38:05 +0000 UTC]

It is if Trollestia enjoys firing Twilight from a cannon on a regular basis (which I could see her doing, actually).

Awesome turn out! I love the idea of weaponized ponies. Only as peacekeeping weapons of course.

FlamingoRich In reply to SandwichHorseArchive [2011-12-17 03:38:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And totally agreed - I'm pretty sure that this particular weapon is only used when Twilight needs to return a book to the Canterlot library from Ponyville.

I bet she gets back quickly by borrowing Princess Celestia's Moon Cannon.

I pictured Rainbow pulling the trigger for Pinkie because well... lets be honest, that flying pony would probably think it's a groovy idea. Cool at least. Twilight, I can't help but think it would be Pinkie firing it after a conversation on how it is possible and her naturally giving no good reason why one should not be a cannonball!

Which makes me wonder before the trigger is pulled if a drill spell exists. >D

FlamingoRich In reply to ThatNightmareNyxilis [2011-12-17 03:39:46 +0000 UTC]

Agreed! And I can picture Pinkie Pie pulling the trigger too (or Spike!).

Of course, if Dash ever gets a turn in a weaponizer of ponies cannon it will be a 'Boomstick'.

Garnot In reply to WingZero032 [2011-12-17 05:35:29 +0000 UTC]

That's out of me budget. Guess I'll have to settle for the Pinkie Pie Launcher for now.

WingZero032 In reply to Garnot [2011-12-18 04:59:06 +0000 UTC]

You are aware that its ammo cost at least one Cupcake, but its actual cost is an entire bakery full of pastries?

That's still within my budget.

Garnot In reply to WingZero032 [2011-12-27 05:52:01 +0000 UTC]

*Barely able to escape, Garnot ducks into a small hole leading away from the trench. The flames are burning hot, and the wall of parasprites has almost burned out. All he needs to do is make it out of the trench and into a small command vehicle, only then will he be able to call down an orbital strike from the low orbiting friendship cannon. That is, provided he can escape the flames.*

DAMN THIS! IT BURNS! NEED TO CRAWL FASTER!!

Nova225 [2011-12-16 18:34:11 +0000 UTC]

The 'Twilight Sparkle Launcher' compared to the 'Pinkie Pie Launcher' takes longer to charge and fire (mostly because of the elaborate instruction book), BUT is more precise and a bit more powerful. :3

Especially if she charges up a spell while she's at it.

Nova225 In reply to FlamingoRich [2011-12-17 05:25:33 +0000 UTC]

With the proper upgrade, you can give her a 'secondary effect (spell)' that activate when she hits, or come in the programmed range of the target. :3

Sweet suede slipcovers, that silly filly has a book for beakin' everything!

Looks like a lot of pages just to hold the words "Brace for impact." Must be large font.

The gold and fancy engraving are a nice touch. It doesn't seem like a design she'd come up with, but it does seem like one she'd use, if that makes any sense.

FlamingoRich In reply to VaguelyCreepy [2011-12-17 03:43:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And that's good to know (about the design) - it means I was successful, because I wasn't trying to make it look like she actually built it - just that it was themed towards her.

I think she would! [Ba Dum Tsh!] But I'm trying to mix in a little bit of a Canterlot theme into Twilight's weapons, so the gold felt right.

Template93 In reply to FlamingoRich [2011-12-16 17:36:43 +0000 UTC]

it makes sense for her since she was born there. once again like what you have and it looks great. cant wait to use whatever programes you use to make it look so clean (assuming CS5 5.5 something). until then im stuck with corel painter.
