And the Wonderbolts pony in the mini-figure three-pack is . . . .

. . . NAMELESS!

But in my mind I am assuming she is Surprise.

What is with Hasbro and they're inability to translate names from the cartoon or give pony names if they don't have an official one?

[Tiffoes]

That's quite a clever move Hasbro made. This way people won't complain about her name and the cartoon still gets a chance to name them. Then again, they're Hasbro's property and it's a shame it looks as if they're too scared to name them.

Is there some kind of a problem with her show name?

She doesn't have a name in the show yet, as far as I know?


A few people complained about Heartstrings being incorrectly named because they were used to her fanon name; Lyra. Hasbro changed her name to Lyra Heartstrings just for them. I would've expected something similiar to happen with this Wonderbolt.


Not that I mind they called her Lyra anyway, because I really like that name. However, I do think Hasbro is allowed to call their toys whatever they want.

The only Wonder Bolts who have been explicitly named are Soarin

and Spitfire

There's also Fleetfoot, but that's because she "won" the race in Sweet and Elite.

So that's Fleetfloot.


Rapidfire is also a named Wonder Bolt, but we don't know anything about him beyond the fact that he's male.


There's lots of unnamed Wonder Bolts. There's the "Surprise" one we see in this packaging, Spitfire w/o the lighter streak in her hair, for example.

You can see that the middle two ponies are Soarin' and Spitfire, but we don't know who the other 4 are.

So they probably didn't name this Wonder Bolt since she has no real canon name? Or because no one at Hasbro had a name to go off of.


Rainbow Dash doesn't care which Wonder Bolt it is, she'll still be excited to hang out with them, anyways.

I like that Wonderbolt, my headcanon is that she's Surprise. x3

Interesting to see she's just packaged as "Wonderbolts Pony" though. I thought they might give her some kind of random name, like the blind bags.

I'm actually rather surprised (hee hee) at this too.  Not so much that they didn't name the pony but that they put in a random unnamed one instead of either Spitfire or Soarin who have both been named and have even had speaking parts.

Yeah, this is a good point. Curiouser and curiouser...

[Dragonflitter]

Wow that is strange of them! I understand they probably are doing it so that the cartoon could give a proper name later if she reappears.

Oh Gilda I looove you. Yay for first non-pony MLP toy since Spike!

But that would require those names to be trademarked. Dunno how hard it would be for them to do so with Soarin' or Spitfire.

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

I'm just assuming it's Surprise.

[Eternia]

that packaging looks...strange? is the photo cropped? They look crammed in there.

I think it's a cropped photo....

I don't see how it would be any harder than "Gilda the Griffon."   If they had to, they could have called her "Spitfire the Wonderbolt pony."
