I guess this is Twilight Sparkle somehow, according to the mane. So a robotic version of Twilight Sparkle spreading friendship?

The light explosions make me think this is taking place during a show. It also seems the lights, unlike Twi, aren't hand drawn. The two don't really mix well for my taste.

Technosparkle? Did she fall into a video game?

Brassy, attention-grabbing colors and composition. Pony construction handled well, but a bit roughly. I have to use my imagination to make this link to the prompt–a digital resurrection?

Upper mid tier, I think.

Hmm. Interesting use of color and glow to get your idea across.

The pose seems odd, and the lack of shading doesn't really help; I thought this was rather mis-shapen until I realized the leftmost leg as a hind-leg, not a weirdly shaped forleg or something.

I'd probably be a bit biased, since cyclopses do intrigue me a lot more than what it would do for the average person, but I do have to say that this is quite visually appealing. What it stands for exactly can be very open ended indeed for the writers and viewers of the piece--to the point in which it would probably harm it more than anything--but it's still pretty solid overall.

Perhaps a bit too neon for my tastes. And it seems a bit odd that her mane is shaded but her body isn't. And we should probably be able to see her tail. And even with the eye-bar-thing, I get more of a morph suit vibe than a robot vibe.

I do look forward to seeing what sort of stories this inspires though.

This will echo many of the above, but this is just so cool that I can't not comment. :rainbowkiss:

The use of color here, coupled with the abstract and equally intense background is fantastic—makes me think somewhat of Tron, though that is clearly not the intended effect. I would like to draw special attention to the attenuation of the blue hue near the edges, suggesting almost a glowing vapor inside the body. The vibrant orange edges—even on the arm, no less—are very intriguing, and used very well to suggest depth and form. Related, the building blocks of pony physiology are there, but with a few odd discrepancies: the barrel seems very narrow, hind legs angled out unusually widely, forelegs (especially one raised) are disproportionately thick and perhaps oddly attached to the chest, and the face seems excessively 'flat', even by pony standards. (Yes, I am omitting the 'eye-bar' from my physiology divergence.) The manestyle definitely suggests Twilight. An absence of tail could be deliberate choice or oversight.

No clue what the intent behind the 'fireworks' are for, but then nothing here promises to make much sense anyway. The glow effect from same fireworks makes me think of degraded VCR recordings.

Neon pone is harder, better, faster, stronger.

We only rate captions, not 80s rock ballad lyrics. Even if I am tempted by the electronic beat and synth chords. 11/10

The face made me think "Robocop!", but the colors made me think "Tron". There's a lot of inspiration to be found here, though I don't really get the pose.
