I'm back! (And Ameliorate changeling Q&A)

Hello everyone, it is I, Rewrite wolf. I have been missing since April but I am back! I was on vacation in April and when I came back in May, I had to hit the ground running because there was ALOT of things that had to be done. But this post isn't a Q&A About me. It's about these guys:
In the FaM universe, they are known as Ameliorate changelings and are a different species of Changelings rather than the same changelings recolored. Why do I have a Q&A on these guys instead of any of the other 15 (technically 16) species of changelings? Colorful changelings for a colorful return. In other words, purely vibes. I'll be doing this with all the other changelings one at a time to get myself back in the zone.

Ask away!

So what is their relationship with the original non-reform changelings?

Hive changelings is what they're called here, and they actually have a positive relationship. Their queens are on neutral terms given they rarely interact.

Helloooo! Good to see you're alright! You dropped off the face of the Earth for a while there!

My question is, if the Ameliorate changelings are different species entirely, does that mean the changeling reformation arc won't happen at all? Also, I see that most of them have horns. Do you think they can perform unicorn magic or are the horns purely for show or to fuel their transformation? (in canon, we have never seen any changeling besides Chrysalis use their magic like a unicorn does so I believe it's open to fandom interpretation)

I like to call those moments, pulling a CoryxKenshin.

Reform as in become good guys, or reform as is change appearance?

Do you think they can perform unicorn magic or are the horns purely for show or to fuel their transformation?

Allow me to show you the answer in the form of Cornicle:

Yes, they can use Unicorn magic and even magic exclusive to changelings. And fuel for their transformations actually comes from what they consume.

Reform as in, Thorax leading them to transform. Also, thanks, I forgot about that picture!

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673110
No, they will not transform into the changedlings.

[Melody Song]

5673113
Ooh, interesting. Will they still become good guys?

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673114
Yes.

[Melody Song]

5673115
Yay!

[ARandomLonelyDude]

Do they require love to survive?

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673118
yes.

[Mlpfan0307]

You're Back!!!! I missed this story! Great to see you again and I can't wait for future chapters of MLP FAM

[BezierBallad]

I notice that “Ameliorate“ means “improved” or “better.” So this literally means “better changelings”

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673639
technically it means to improve or make better.

[BezierBallad]

5673646
Does it still mean “improved changelings”?

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673647
That would actually make it mean 'To improve Changelings'

[BezierBallad]

5673648
Huh. Peculiar

5673664
Yeah. What about it?

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673665
Well, Cornicle is assigned as Bandit's (and Twilight's) student in order to improve relationships between ponies and changelings outside of Bandit since the invasion.

[BezierBallad]

5673667
Ohh—

That makes much more sense

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

5673668
Complexities, gotta love em.

[Mlpfan0307]

In FIM Thorax was a Hive changeling who turned into a Ameliorate changeling. What is he in your story? A Hive changeling or an Ameliorate changeling?

[Alpha Wolf 4500]

Hiveling.
