Yes. I know they typically don’t do better, but I also know that they are completely able to. Budget is not an excuse here, for reasons I already explained.

@Ihhh  

 
Really, now?

@Zharkaer  
I expect better from 80’s tv animation, and I know they can do better, because it is animated on 1’s and 2’s, and there don’t seem to be many still frames, which tells me that the animators were just lazy or unskilled. Also, the 80’s movie looked just as bad.

@Ihhh  
It’s 80’s TV animation versus a movie, what do you expect?

@Amethyst_Crystal  
I can’t help but be reminded of how much better the 2017 movie’s animation is, because those gifs look terrible.

Can’t help but be reminded of one of my favorite G1 characters, Pluma the Pana.  
 

@Phantom Rider  
Probably some guy with the nickname of “Lucky”.

@Background Pony #C382  
I wonder, has any had all three?

@Phantom Rider  
Come on, what good pirate doesn’t have a pegleg, or hook hand, or eyepatch?

We have an official amputee character? (Though yes, there is Apocalypse Dash too.)
 
Now she’s double my new waifu. Though, nobody’ll ever replace my beloved Gabby.

Looks like glass to me

@Scrounge  
Parrot

So… What species is she? She looks kinda like a bipedal griffon, but there’s that ear there and her name doesn’t start with “g”.

@TheMasterEraser  
Live action show with those Brazilian trannies. (I’m kidding… Probably, I don’t care. XD )

@Background Pony #DBB4  
Yes, what else might I mean?

@TheMasterEraser  

You mean “in FiM animation canon”?

@neo4812  
Tagged “Apocalypse Dash” here on the booru, she had a metal wing. Some fics and pics show it as a piece of armor, not a prosthetic replacement for an amputated wing, and the show didn’t make it obvious which it was. Also, she was from an alternate timeline.
 
In the Nightmare Moon alternate timeline, Rainbow had bat wings. Whether it was a permanent alteration, a magical prosthetic, or a cosmetic charm, they weren’t her usual fluffy feathered wings.
 
In the comics, Rainbow’s wings were severed magically by thieves and melted into a potion. Were it not for the potion the thieves were planning on using on themselves to regrow her wings on them, she would have lost them permanently.
 
From the comics, the bookworm arc had Pinkie Pie lose a hoof to the void, and although she used a series of prosthetic props, it was erased, not biologically cut off. It was also restored by the end of the story arc.
 
In the show, Discord removed wings and horns to ensure no cheating in the maze. He returned them when he’d had his fun.
 
Let’s say Captain Celaeno is the first unambiguous and permanent amputee in the primary timeline of the prime universe in show canon. To some people (not me), that makes her the first that counts.

@TheMasterEraser  
what about rainbow dash in the season 5 finale?

First official amputee in primary canon. (Captain Hoofbeard in the IDW comics was first in the beta canon.)

@ImperfectXIII  
Rats. Would have liked seeing a non-evil Harpy.

According to Meghan McCarthy, she’s a parrot.

Drink up me hearties, yo-ho! ;)

She’s so badass she have a laser sword as a peg leg.

@Stainless Steel  
Get your mind out the gutter, man. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was a Chinese jian:
 

@thps48  
True. In the end, we’re just going to have to wait and see the movie to learn what she’s supposed to be.
