I think “removing from main cast” was a bit too sensational.
In the beginning, he was supposed to be a secondary character who was the love interest of Scootaloo. But I thought it might have been a better idea to upgrade him to primary character status.
But obviously, after a good 5-6 months, it was not turning out to be a good idea after all.
The main cast as of the last update was Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Dinky, and Rumble. These are the primary characters, much like the Mane 6 are to FiM. I’m removing Rumble from this list of primaries.
But not the whole cast. He’ll have a status similar to how Pinchy was, or how Babs, Diamond Tiara, and others will be. The main stories will no longer have a direct focus on him all the time.
Are Scoots and Rumble still together? Of course! He’s not gone. He’s just no longer a main focus.
But like the secondaries on FiM, he could get his own story centered on him (like a CMC episode or a Spike episode). Hell, say the word and I’ll give you a story on any of the secondaries.
In fact, his departure will tie into a loose story arc that will be seen next season.
He was never that important to begin with (and literally a random choice), and I’m not sure why I thought it was great idea to give him that status. So yeah. Fuck me.
