I really enjoyed Newbie Dash as an episode, it could have easily gone the old "very special episode" trope with the overdone lesson of 'names hurt" but instead it went an entirely different route that makes much more sense when part of a team, whether in sports or the military (and the Wonderbolts seem to be a synthesis of both).
Another reason I liked the episode is that several of the other Wonderbolts got some real screen time, and even had dialog even if it were only a few lines. In celebration of that, well more that I just wanted to, I sketched most of the Wonderbolt mares. The only one who's hairstyle I really changed was Surprise's, which I made more like she was originally envisioned (Pinkie Pie as a pegasus), as the hairstyles I feel are too similar between them. May have to do some color pinup of these gals at some point if people are interested.

Why does rainbow dash want to join a bunch of losers who call her a hurtful childhood name? She's better than them. What she SHOULD do is form her OWN team, like, "The Rainbow Speedsters" or something. give the Wonderbolts something to compete with, then they could see how badly they need to improve their flight abilities. The instant my nickname was "Special" at my first job, I quit.
Probably because "Wrinkles" is not as insulting as "Special". When you're the only person at a business who is not "Nigga Punk Gangsta Smack mah ho pimp mah ride midnight DUB" everyone seems to think you are a retard. "Special", as in "Special Education". Assholes. Not you, my ex-co-workers.
