(Part 1) The Pegasus Device [Animation - song] Check pinned comment

[@SinclairDuGore]

literally across this entire animation it’s labeled as the “Rainbow Factory” when the song is The Pegasus Device by SlyphStorm, and NOT the Rainbow Factory by WoodenToaster. Idk how tf I managed to get those mixed up, I apologize for the confusion and plan to remake the thumbnail when I have the time. Thank you to those who’ve commented and pointed it out to me, i honestly wouldn’t have noticed unless someone had asked about it. I think I will leave the animation as is right now, and Re-upload a fixed version sometime in the future, again, when I have the time. Once again I apologize for the confusion.

[@XENOWOLFI]

That’s ok bru it’s an easy mistake 👍

[@DailyDoseOfPonyYT]

I think it's perfectly fine, dont worry about it! Those who know the song can identify it. The only thing that is a mild miscredit is "original by wooden toaster", but this isnt all that far from the truth. This song "Pegasus Device" by Slyph Storm was inspired both by Rainbow Factory and Awoken. At the same time, I honestly just took it as the story of "Rainbow Factory", not the song, since the animation depicts the various events of the whole rainbow factory saga. I think you should be fine! Just credit the right song in the description and dont worry about it :3 -Saphire Systrine, Daily Dose of Pony

[@DulcetNuance]

The mix up with names is no biggie when you consider that Pegasus Device tells the story of the rainbow factory better than Rainbow Factory did lol. The source material was obviously respected and it clearly takes inspiration from both songs, as well as the original story. Plus the addition of the very much believable theory that Celestia knows what goes on but turns a blind eye was a nice touch.

[@hisashiburi0]

I think I'm calling this the best Rainbow Factory animation ever produced so far. We had lots of really close to the show animatics, SFMs with detailed render, but in the end the plot and proper display of lore were the main criteria for me as a diehard RF fan. And to say this is EXACTLY the animation I dreamed of when listening to those songs is to say nothing. A bit of wackiness of animation is even on hand here, because the movement, the emotions of characters are simply top notch. Just.. thank you so much for what you've created. The Flock owes you :)

[@carolinecheney]

This is awesome! I love the part where Celestia found the factory and saw the horrors that go down inside (cause come on! That should’ve happened in the story)!

[@LunaRoA]

The "Rainbow Act" part also implied that despise that she let them continue exist but probably with a 'reform' in the methods to get the color out the pony, that or it was a 'peek into the future' after Awoken if we take that song as a continuation of this one (bc at the end we see a reference to that at the end)

[@EvilPaladin11]

In the Rainbow Factory fanfic, we learn that the factory has existed as a side effect of her no longer creating rainbows, since she needed to focus on the war with Nightmare Moon. The pegasi took up the task of making rainbows, because it's needed (for some reason). Also, the standardized test that all pegasi must pass is presumably a state ran test. So Celestia _very likely_ knows about what happens in the factory. That, or the pegasi in charge of the 1000 year old conspiracy are _very_ good at covering it up.

[@Lucy-yi9ju]

Someone knows why rainbow has a grey tail? :(

[@straneas3099]

​@@Lucy-yi9ju we see all the ponies working got a black tail, we even see them getting it dey

[@klikssiikubra314]

This is incredibly well done how you managed to pack so much in there, especially being done by only a single person. I think it's the best Rainbow Factory animation I've ever seen period. It's great to see Rainbow Dash's fall from grace take place in full, as well as seeing other factory members like Dr. Atmosphere. Towards the end there's a few too many reused shots, but considering you did all this yourself, it's a small thing that hardly detracts from the excellent work shown off here. Well done work, I kind of wish that Pegasus Device (the sequel story) got its own animation this good.

u dont understand how happy i am that this fandom is still alive and well even after the show ending being nearly 4 years ago

[@Cartoonshipper]

Just imagine you a pegasus, hoping to prove yourself only to fail and to find out that the factory is run by the element of Loyalty...

[@twist_ending7545]

Seems the element of loyalty isn't loyal to her own kind..

[@Cartoonshipper]

​@@twist_ending7545I actually listened to Thelostnarrator's audio drama on the Rainbow Factory and it was sad...

[@Lavenderbutterscotch]

@@twist_ending7545In a twisted way this is loyalty

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

This is a kind of loyalty, loyalty to the state and the ideals of the state even when those ideals are inherently evil.

[@Shaea_Q]

She’s doing that because she’s loyal, that’s the thing.

[@ficklefitz]

this is honestly so cool???? ive always wondered what an animation to this song would be and you've honestly captivated anything i could've imagined! the fluid movements and the expressions are fantastic!!! edit: the concept that the pegasai working there aren't *immune* to the color collection either is incredibly fun. having to get rid of apart of yourself all for a greater cause you actually think is helping the world. truly creative stuff right here

[@TovKafur]

Is it implied? Iirc the pegasi behind the control panel isn't Rainbow Dash but main protagonist (of sorts) of Pegasus Device fanfic.

[@polish_pigeon]

I was always confused by one thing in the story itself - Why do ponies need rainbows so badly that they have to make a factory and kill ponies there? Like.. Rainbows are nice and all, but they are not needed, they serve no purpose other than entertain the eye, they are not neccessary for ponies to have.

[@avacadotoast5571]

I think that the Rainbow Factory is mostly just an excuse for the pegasi to kill off the members of their species seen as "weak" and "unworthy." I guess that it's easier to kill when they justify it to themselves?

[@ketiviv]

and werent sugar and spice enough

[@avrie6668]

I know nothing about the lore so I made my own Rainbow dash was a product Of the “rainbow juice” she was a test they aren’t just making rainbows for the sake of it, it’s a front for what they truly after their experimenting on dash to eventually create super Pegasus that can rain boom like dash and examining the mental effects as well as the costs of maintaining a super Pegasus since dash was seen with a graying tail like a super drug eventually they’ll try to make batches of super Pegasus and try to tie the sudden babies rainbow Pegasus with rainbows like they were exposed to them when they were developing in the mares Maybe they’ll try to test it on a princess or other species as a trump card there’s a lot of dangerous stuff in mlp there’s straight up a pollen that infects ponies which would turn them into trees that Forrest with the faces is hinted to be ponies that contracted the disease and in the early days ponies were in war with each other it’s said it was bad so bad that simple kindness was nonsense so if there’s stuff like that then this would be reasonable rather than nonsense I mean the “royal guards” seem pretty useless so if they were able to rain boom and all the chances of survival and progress would “skyrocket”

[@avrie6668]

Also they may try to make super unicorns just to see if it’s possible hell might as well see if they can have a super fast Pegasus, a unicorn that’s practically a nuke, a intensely strong earth pony that’s sturdy enough to blunt spears Aaaand that’s everyone the prime candidates is the holders of the elements of harmony if all of them are super than they wouldn’t have “close calls” or against a wall because THEY’LL BE THAT WALL and if they all start to get rainbow hair they’ll say “it’s the product of being the holders of the elements of harmony that if their friendship is close enough it’ll show itself as the elements colour” Did I just make an Au???? Is that what I did?????

[@immortalirx]

I don't think it's the importance of rainbows, I think it's the importance of a good healthy Pegasus that can fly

[@IdentityMemes]

This animation is astounding, must've taken a long time. Hats down to you Gotta say that Rainbow Factory kind of reminds me of that one quote "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian" it fits the story perfectly

[@beingweirdisnormal8409]

Argh! I love everything about this! The brief flashbacks involving Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo's past, the moments and little details that hint at the toll on Rainbow once she started working at the Rainbow Factory (such as her monochrome tail), the exaggerated expressions, and the animation itself! Plus that awesome song just adds the cherry on top this lovely cake. Amazingly done, I'm very happy to see MLP FiM content still being made.

[@theironpone035]

The amount of story packed into this truly amazes me, telling the infamous tale of the Rainbow Factory through both music and animation. Seeing wonderful passion fueled projects like this one still being created even long after Gen 4 ended is always an incredible sight...

the animation is really janky and rough around the edges but honestly I goddamn love that!!! Here, it adds so much! This has soooo much personality, I love the strong contrasts and colors and expressions, the complex posing, storyboarding and composition is all honestly insane, and all by one person too. My favorite has got to be Rainbow Dash near the end with her exaggerated faces and motions, like when she stomps the ground, arghhhh This is so much fun to watch and so inspiring, especially seeing the software you used - it's not anything industry standard, though procreate is an advanced art program, it's all pretty easily accessible. Goes to show that you don't need high tech software to create something amazing.

Deep in the pages of history Lies a shadow hiding in a mystery A late night story buried far away Until it once again sees the light of day And when the little colts and fillies turn out all the lights Tell a story of a factory as black as night The luxury of rainbows comes at a price So just ignore the screams, and don't think twice You've proven to yourself and to all of us That you're not fit to fly like a pegasus You don't even deserve those wings you bear When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device Phantom screams echo through the ruined facility A horrible silence builds an eerie tranquility The souls of many innocent fill the air And the hope that they all died with scattered here and there A mighty machine built within the wake Of a long dead dream, little demon awake The citizens sleep, never quite knowing when The device will reawaken, hungry again You've proven to yourself and to all of us That you're not fit to fly like a pegasus You don't even deserve those wings you bear When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device I don't even remember my past I don't remember who I used to be I don't remember my friends of old I don't remember my destiny My mane is purple and my coat is orange What I've become? I have no idea I only know one simple thing The name they gave me: Absentia You've proven to yourself and to all of us That you're not fit to fly like a pegasus You don't even deserve those little wings you bear When you stand beside a legend, you don't even compare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of chess And just because you've disappointed you'll pay the price Now accept your fate and die in the Pegasus Device I don't even recognize your rainbow mane When you hide it behind that mask of shame You don't even deserve those wings you bear You used to be a legend, a righteous mare All of the failures help to fuel success In the bloody and visceral weather game of chess And then you sit upon your throne and you roll your diamond dice And you send us all to die in your Pegasus Device In the Rainbow Factory, where fears and horrors come true In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through In the Rainbow Factory, where failures pay their toll Now I've awoken, and I'm taking back control
