As with most forms of media, there were early renditions and concepts that didn't quite make it to the final phase of release for My Little Pony: A New Generation, and this video shows off an early look at the Canterlogic factory product demonstration scene, showing the overall planning for it, along with a few cut bits of conctent, including the image above with a pony using a cage for protection, an extra Sprout scene where he's stopped at the door of the factory, and finally Sprout destroying a bridge with his final doomsday machine.
