Also, although not many have noticed it, that moment where objects lose their color is a past reference to the comic "Black, White and Blue" where Misty accidentally does the same thing using a magical object.😮 Although, in this case, more of a moral lesson than a magical solution was required to convince and reverse the situation. 👍🏽

It would've been better if it was some ruin of Cloudsdale aimlessly wandering the Earth after the fall of Equestria, creating a magical storm wherever it goes. Sunny explores it, a harsh reminder of the past. It takes all her friends, not just her Pipp and Zipp to restore the machine

The rainbow maker definitely looks like one of the weather factory's machines which somehow survived and kept on running for a thousand years, or was probably dormant when magic was gone and reactivated when the magic returned. It is odd that the Earth ponies and unicorns don't need floatshoes to walk on the clouds. I am surprised that a pegasnail would go at higher altitude than they normally do since there isn't any food in the sky. They should probably put a wire cage over the funnel so that even a bird can fly in it.

Pegasus/Pegasi can walk on clouds since they had that ability to do so. But Earth ponies could never on their own, unless a Unicorn learns the spell to grant them the ability to walk on clouds. But this felt like the episode couldn’t explain it, or had to retcon the logic.

This could be what remains of Cloudsdale. We saw in the Discord Comic for G5 how bad and abandoned Canterlot looks. And now we have the remains of the Sky city. And that cloud machine could be a way the old pegasi upgraded the already existing process of making rainbows. Who knows, this is important. We know that Cloudsdale could be moved since it's clouds so I think it is safe to say that it was abandoned when the pegasi lost the ability to fly centuries ago.

Good episode that nevertheless struggles with the fact that it is a good story that had to be cut down to just five minutes. If twice as much time, it would have been meaningful - besides, it was Zipp's time, which showed us that she really lives up to her talent and the last part of her name - Storm. Sunny and Pipp helped her out, and Zipp appreciated this. Then the rainbow machinery is of great interest, it is hidden from outsiders by a "fortress" of clouds with a series of passages which visitors had to follow to reach the machinery. These are magical clouds that have existed for several centuries that ensure that not only the pegasi can walk on clouds, but also protect an automatic cloud machine that probably not only produces rainbow colors, which is magical in Equestria. It must have taken many centuries to shrink the large Rainbow Factory seen in G4 into a very advanced machine not much bigger than a small house, and then do it automatically so no manual effort is needed. We know that the weather in Equestria was static so that the pegasi had to have extensive weather manipulation to create rain, sunshine and much more to maintain agriculture and wildlife - and they had probably been doing this for millennia. When the new world arises, there are many puzzles related to the fact that G5 is a continuation from G4, and the weather was one of the puzzles. Now we know that the weather has been automated so that it can shine, rain and blow on its own without the ponies having to do anything. So when the pony magic disappeared, the weather could continue because the internal magic is not canceled. We know from G4 that there is a big difference between magic from living beings and non-living magic. So when the ponies lost their magic - the automated magic continues by itself in Equestria. Colors in Equestria seemed to have some "magical" capacity and rainbow colors could be spread - and absorbed by a rainbow machine, so it doesn't affect the magic of the unicorns, only those that generate the color spectrum can be affected. The machine malfunctioned because a pegasnail was stuck in it. We know that the small animals of Equestria did not have magic in the magicless era, and we know that only pony magic had disappeared. This is another indication that these little animals with wings and horns were created with pony magic. When the magic disappeared, the pegasi could not monitor the magical clouds which were partly forgotten, until the discovery over Maretime Bay. We don't know if it's the remnants of Cloudsdale - these magical clouds seem more advanced and complicated in comparison, more like automaton systems that freely move around. It is possible that when the pegasi had to leave the cloud cities - there are several in G4 - these either disintegrated or were blown away to unknown locations. It wouldn't be surprising if there are ruins on clouds up there above Equestria that the pegasi have yet to discover. They have only flown for less than a couple of years, mostly only in known airspace. One riddle solved, more remain - especially the celestial bodies, an older TYT episode revealed that the moon was very unusually charged with magic. This can be discovered in later TYT episodes - which should be a bit longer.

It honestly wouldn’t make sense for it to be capable of stealing unicorn magic because MYM established that existence of the unity crystal was to prevent any outside forces from directly stealing magic off ponies. Also it implies that the colour of all Unicorn magic is rainbow when FIM and MYM show that the colours actually differ from each unicorn when they use their magic.

I always assumed that cloudsdale just falled apart after the magic dissappeared. You cant tell me Cloudsdale was hold up naturally. Also the machine doesnt look like the weather factory at all. It's too colorful and random. I think it was the new machine where pegasi tried to make rainbows after their factory went down.

Honestly, ruins of Cloudsdale is a stretch. There were just stairs leading eventually to the machine. I honestly think this is G5 finally trying to establish their own lore without trying to piggyback off G4 since they aren't allowed to acknowledge anything that came after season 4. Is it the best attempt? No, but they only have 11 minutes per episode, so heavy lore drops are not exactly possible, more needing to build up over multiple episodes, so it's at least an attempt that I can give them credit for.

I was a little disappointed by this episode. Everything went by so quickly and I really hope this place is not cloudstale cause it’s way too empty! Where are all the structures like houses and the factories? I mean it was pretty but didn’t even feel like place where anything could be made at all let alone house ponies. Also everypony being able to walk on clouds now just infuriates me, especially since we didn’t even get an explanation. I also wasn’t a big fan of the rainbow making machine, it looks like it could clog itself up without anything inside with much it twists and folds into its. I honestly thought it was a pile of junk when I first saw it💀
