Well, we dont know if that's the REAL concept art (the background looks real but the characters... eyyughh...)

But it's probably true and I can see how Hasbro will defend their designs: "It's an 'Alternate world' of Equestria." Basically a mix between ponies (skin tone) and humans (bodies).

And I would be lying if i said this didnt sound like a move by Hasbro, and not by some visionary. It's a sad time for cartoons in that most big cartoons (with the exception of some on CartoonNetwork and elsewhere) are from some brand name (Star Wars, MLP, Transformers, etc.). Around the 2000s, we had original cartoons from Faust, Tartovsky, McCracken, Greg Weisman, and others who became famous for their works (PPG, Dexter's Samurai Jack, etc.) but especially for Hasbro, they dont seem like they want to make great risky and original cartoons, just cartoons to sell toys and do you honestly think Hasbro wanted to make a Highschool Version of Ponies to NOT push a new brand of human dolls and whatnot? There's so litle risk involved here and no sign of creativity for this cartoon.

But who knows, maybe it'll be okay. i hope EqG crashes and burns so Hasbro would rather support great cartoons than safe-okay cartoons to sell toys
