DHX hit with major data breach (beware of spoilers)
« on: December 17, 2017, 12:37:05 AM »
Someone managed to hack into their server (or a disgruntled employee leaked access data) and rip a HUGE amount of MLP stuff including:
Spoiler
New intro for FiM
Season 8 synopsis, data, and partially complete episodes
Season 9 data and concept art
New EqG and pony movie and specials data and assets (incl. more EqG shorts)
Flash assets
Staff emails


The biggest thing being:
Spoiler
G5 concept art and ideas.
G4 and FiM will end in 2019, with G5 starting in 2020.


The fandom is in meltdown status right now. The larger pony sites have clamped down on it, but this stuff is floating around now so be careful when browsing.

I saw the G5 concept art,
I like them, they are cute. Well, very girly indeed, but I'm glad their design is a bit more developed. I mean, they are a bit more different from each other and I think this is nice. They are still slim though, but I hope they'll be as lovely as G2s. =) I just REALLY hope they will make the figures a bit bigger than G4 and many many different ponies, not always the main one. Ugh, I don't like clone armies.
But, speaking if personality, I hope the characters they made are not the real ones, that they just used their color scheme to represent pony species and not the actuel pony. Or else, this is where it's a disaster for the fans of the series.
It remind me of my topic "When will G5 come ? ". Well, now we know.  :lol:

wow those g5 concept arts look nice, they look like a mix of g2 and g4.
Not sure of why they are keeping some of the mane 6 if they are changing their races. Aj especially is surprising but looks cool. Just not sure about the personality they talked about for her. Also I'm kinda enjoying the brony fandom imploding in a sadistic way.

I can see 2020 as a feasible time to switch gears into G5.  It will have been a decade which is how long G1 was sold in the U.S.  It would be a chance to start anew and explore new ideas without being tied what's already been established.  And I agree that they're probably using FiM characters here more as a proof of concept.  If they make the next series, it will likely be in Toon Boom rather than Flash now that they have it.

And let the nourishing brony tears flow over me.

since they talked about AJ's g5 personality in one of the mails, I'm not sure you can count on that.

It might be speculation on DHX's part.  Hasbro probably hasn't decided on what their main cast of ponies will be in the next generation.  We still have two years, so a lot can change.  DHX is probably just making their pitch to keep the contract.  Or, Applejack is a pony they have already decided will be included.  We're looking through a peep hole covered by wax paper of a partially built structure.  We'll have to see how things pan out.

I'm a bit sad because FiM was what brought me in to MLP, but seasonal rot has really started taking it's toll on the show.
I absolutely adore that G5 Applejack concept and I will protect her with my life. It's funny seeing people having a meltdown over the new designs because it's just something they aren't used to.
Where's my pegasi concepts?

I would love to see the concept art but I can't find it offhand. Knowing me just not looking in the right places because I've gotten off the FiM fandom train a long time ago
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

Super exciting! Let's hope Hasbro improves their toy quality for G5...

Watching the brony community flip out over this is hilarious. I like FiM too guys, but obviously it can't last forever and we had to have a new generation eventually! The butthurt coming from them is outstanding.

Yes, me too!  I want to see it and I am not involved at all on the Brony sites.

We are Powerful.

Granted I personally haven't (unless we count toys changing to 4.5), since I got into MLP during G4. Being around now to see what a new generation ia gonna be like is awesome!
Now I've just gotta be patient...

This reminds me of being a young child who was so used to seeing G3 and was just getting excited to see what the new cartoon was gonna be like.
I was so confused as to why Rainbow Dash was a pegasus (i had a passing knowledge of it despite not actually having owned any), and I was so excited to be done with my obligation for the day to come home and watch the first episode.

Aaaand it might be a good idea to not search "My Little Pony" on Youtube now if you're avoiding the spoilers.
