Rainbow Dash Automaton


It's late! You want something to do because you have insomnia like me! (Or you live in another country where it's not 4 AM.)

How about checking out this Rainbow Dash automaton? I don't think we have seen anything at all like this yet.

Watch the video after the break.

*Sees title* CURSE YOU, VILLAIN! YOU PRE-EMPTED MY PLAN!

*Watches video*
Oh, wow. That is not at all what I was planning.
Good work, it's amazing!

Sintakhra said...

Haha! Tank is priceless

Jay6 said...

No idea why I stay up this late... but neat stuff!

AddictedArtist said...

Shut up and take my money!

Ezn said...

They should make a Sweetie Belle one.

schoolruler said...

Awesome always applies to Rainbow Dash

The Illustrious Q said...

How much? That is way too adorable!

Mike said...

If whomever made this makes more copies and sells them, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
No words can describe the awesome.

Mike said...

@Mike

I guess it'd have to be molded and mass-produced somehow...

Hint hint Hasbro: get to it! Make something like this!

Mike said...

@Mike
Even if it has to be a collaboration with the guy who did it.

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

@Mike

Especially if they had to collaborate with the guy who did it. He's a genius for coming up with and making this, he should be recognized if Hasbro started making these.

Pink Champagne said...

Sell this to Hasbro and have them make thousands.
I want every character!

silentcarto said...

Tank makes it adorable.

Harwick said...

Wow... That was awesome work! And Tank put it over the top!

SubjectNumber2394 said...

That is brilliant! Tank makes it all complete. Also the wooden cogs are nice.

You know...For the era they depict most of the time on MLP FIM. this would of been a HIGH end expensive toy of the time. It is very accurate to the show and I can only hope they try and make more of them and sell them sometime. HAZZAH!

tilkau said...

...When is it not 4 AM?

Till said...

Now this is how you properly make use of gears! Take note all you Steampunk kids.

Twifight Sparkill said...

Oh my. Where'd all my bits go? Here if they could! Love it!

Zoot101 said...

I thought this was cool, but then I thought about it and how complicated it must be to get something to work like that. Now I think it's REALLY cool.

Kenko706 said...

Scootaloo: WOW! My very own Dash Automaton! WOW! It's got moving wings, and legs and.. whoa! Tank inside! This is so awesome! All *I have to do is turn this little crank and...

...

Curse you, lack of opposing digits.

The Invincible said...

So, guys. RoboDash: pro or con?

Chromosome said...

Oh my lord, that is amazing. Bronies, y u so awesome?

Nintyuk said...

Tank Is the best touch.

evenfall said...

Seth. Sleep is needed.

Agile Wings said...

That is really awesome. I wants!

Starting to think your an automaton Seth.

FreezingShock said...

That's pretty amazing! It must've been a hell of a lot of work to make, but the end result is definitely worth it. I didn't even notice Tank at first, but he's a nice addition.

Commentator said...

who ever did that is smart like Twi!

reynard61 said...

Give this a HUGO award! :-)

MLP surveys said...

20% cooler than I thought it would be.

reynard61 said...

Give this a HUGO award! :-)

Teral said...

Philippine mahogany? No, this is made of pure WIN.

Clockwork said...

This is awesome! So many possibilities.

Ozimul said...

This is pretty cool. I used to think these sorts of things were a creepy waste of time, but now I see... even atomatons can be cute.

8bitbleepbleep said...

Hahaha, the added Tank makes it even better!

Dew Drop said...

Its a little jerky...WD 40 DAT THANG lol freakin cool and ironic in my film/3D class yesterday we were talking about automatons. Yay

Faeiri said...

Tank sold it for me. I wasn't expecting to see one of these, but I'm impressed.

Tealhollow said...

Soon, full blown My Little Pony robots will be made, and will take over the world.

It will be the best apocalypse ever.

Woodencoyote said...

That's really well put together - very impressive! If I might ask, why did you choose to use gears rather than, say, a gravity actuator? I ask because I tend to see the latter over the former, and I was wondering if there were design or mechanical reasons here.

Piper said...

Hasbro! Y U NO Get with the times and produce new pony novelties like Chinese Derpy Factory and RoboRainbow Crankdriven Automaton?

posts said...

I want one..;o; I'd actually rather have a ball jointed pony. Like ball jointed dolls, just a pony. That I could put different eyes in and wigs on, and get the base in every color and just make different wigs on my own... If anypony would be able to make it, I could sketch out the design owo

Spectra Flare said...

Why did my name show up as posts..TT.TT

SuperGiantRobot said...

OH MY GOD, SHE HAS A METAL BAR THROUGH HER STOMACH! SOMEPONY CAL 911!

Joe England said...

This fandom doesn't just go the extra mile. It goes ALL THE MILES.

Toonicorn said...

Wind-up toys just became 20% cooler.

Jon Fawkes said...

This fanbase continues to blow me away with ingenuity, originality, and inspiration

Present Perfect said...

This is the best thing ever.

Alondro said...

@Present Perfect It is so beautiful... the classical high-end toy from over a century ago, in Pony form... and the added touch of Tank turning the crank inside the gear box. It's magnificent. TAKE MY MONEY!!! *punches wad of bills through the screen!* Something is happening! My screen is shooting sparks all over the place! IT'S WORKING!!

...

I broke my computer. :C

Kain said...

That's what will cause the next episode: Pony automatons designed by Twilight will take over Equestria and she will travel to the past to warn herself.

Cue Terminator theme! :-D

Seriously though, this is totally awsome!

Octavia said...

Now that is pretty freaken awesome right there. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into it. It seems to have paid off though because this is one of the coolest little gizmos I've seen from the community yet. The little addition with Tank is spectacular as well.

Freefox said...

And that`s is what dreams are made of

JagerIV said...

Wo, quite amazing. It is these kinds of things that make me wish I had taken wood shop.

BrokenForHim said...

Remember Pinkie's face in The Cutie Mark Chronicles? That just happened.

Landon531 said...

WHERE I BUY?
WHERE I BUY!?!

Luna's Loyal Subject said...

Damn. I could have SWORN Sweetie Belle was the robot.

Deucey Dee said...

Gud vork, gentlemen! Now, all zat's left to be done eez to make ze ponies REAL!

Deucey Dee said...

@Deucey Dee

I just felt like breaking out my fake accent. That's how good this is.

zibbity said...

This... is what happens when brony engineers get bored. They commence the awesome. Awesome is generally what happens when engineers get bored, but the result doesn't usually involve ponies like this.
