"I'll get you next time, Gadget... next time!"

My submission to MLP-ATG 's newest theme for this week, A pony solving a mystery. Since I didn't submit a pic last week (couldn't think of a good idea for the life of me for that one) I wanted to do one this week, and lucky for me, I immediately came up with several ideas.

The first was in reference to the episode "Party Of One" with Pinkie snooping around in her hay bale disguise, following Twilight while Twi's thinking to herself "why do I feel like I'm being watched?"

The second had Pinkie dressed up in a James Bond and holding a martini glass of chocolate milk with a swivel straw. That one was a bit of a stretch, though, because she wasn't solving anything, and I admit I only wanted to do it so I could say this:

"The name is Pie. Pinkie Pie."

But then another pic that was posted made me think of this idea, and it was the best of the bunch, so there you go. It is, of course, a homage to the classic Inspector Gadget cartoon, except the cast has been swapped out with ponies, naturally. I was going to have one of the Mane 6 be Gadget at first, but then I thought of good ol' Derpy (or Dizty, whatever we're calling her these days) and knew she was the best fit.

Technically, Dr. Claw didn't have a literal claw in the original show, just these metallic-looking gauntlets over his hands. But ponies don't have hands, and just going for gauntlets-over-hooves idea was silly, so I went with the claw partly to settle the issue, and as assurance that viewers would catch on to the reference.

Speaking of which, guess who's posing as Dr. Claw?

Pic is purposely large so you can read what's on the screen if you wish.
