Lessee now; Thod here debuted in "Gauntlet of Fire", which aired on April 16, 2016. _How to Train Your Dragon_ aired on March 26, 2010, while _How to Train Your Dragon 2_ aired on June 13, 2014. So this specific design did, in fact, debut after _HtTYD_ came out.
In fact, depending on which version of Spike we're talking about, G4 Spike _also_ postdates the _HtTYD_ movies -- the Season 1 premiere aired on October 10, 2010, making the original _How to Train Your Dragon_ older than any G4 dragon by about five or six months at a minimum.
