I mean a trench coat.

@AIDS Kitten
 
Nah. It is a WW2 Stahlhelm with a Pickelhaube point atop.
 
The hat point is a symbol of WW1 in the media hivemind while the WW2 stahlhelm is the quintessential German helmet shape.
 
It is obvious that the animator unconsciously combined them. Her outfit which resembles the Wehrmacht winter long coat is probably just an awesome coincidence.
 
Either way I <3 it.

Pinkie’s hair and tail are hardly a separated phenomenon. AJ’s has been using her prehensile tail to manipulate things since Season 1.
 
And AJ has often demonstrated her ability to wreck shit with her hindlegs, it’s possible that Maud just preferred to work out her frontlegs. The effect is pretty much the same.

@ALIS  
It may be based on a type of motorcyle helmet instead of an actual military helmet.

HC: Maud’s “rocktorate studies” at Luna’s Inititute for Higher Learning is cover for her participation in the XMares Initiative.

@RIG
 
Actually he is kinda right, that is clearly a WW2 era stahlhelm with a pickelhaube spike added on top.

She gave birth to a brood of Tom’s.

“DORARARARARARARARA DOOOORAAAA!”

Pinkie with the mane drill, Maud with the jackhammer hooves, boulder-throwing, rock-chewing.
 
What are the other Pie family members’ rock-related super powers?

nazi pie, it’s best nazi

Maud Pie pretty much puts Big Macintosh’s strength to shame. I had no idea that the Pie Family were jacked.

Bakusai Tenketsu! Rapid fire!

@AIDS Kitten  
is obvious to assume that is what happened by looking this gif.

Not shown: Maud winning the poker game with a Royal Flush.
 
Badass

Multiple countries used that kind of helmet during the second half of the 19th century, including Russia, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Portugal, Norway, and Sweden.  
 
This is a Swedish one from 1894, which is 20 years before WWI.

@Blissey1  
Ah, that improves it considerably. Weird I didn’t notice that.

Bakusei Tenketsu! (That is a move from “Ranma 1/2”, also known as the “Breaking Point” technique, that an certain eternaly lost boy named Ryoga knows.)

@AIDS Kitten  
Notice how they all take a step and a half a second after maud dashes off. They were all about to go charging in as well, but then saw Maud in action and were too stunned to act.

@AIDS Kitten  
if you NOTICED riiight ast Maud sped off the others were just about to move but stopped due to her speed….they took so long probably due to just the shock of it all…its actually quite common.

@RIG  
But how would you know that? You missed this episode. ;)

HOKUTO HAKURETSU KEN!

@AIDS Kitten  
the idea is that maud reacted much faster than the others, then the other were shocked by her fast reaction that they didn’t move.
