Bladescape wears dagannoth leather plate armor. Each of them was dyed and oiled, shining almost as bright as metal. The pristine Wondercolt blue was held together with golden rivets and yellow stitches in triplicate, the same being used to trim the armor. The center had their horse head stitched into it. Her cloak is clasped around her shoulders using a broach made from two gold horse head ornaments facing outward with a golden chain strung between them, and its folds concealed mounting points between the plates for various pouches. It is also designed to accommodate Harmonic Salvation’s large scabbard so it could rest over it on her back without either getting in the way of the other. Unlike the others' capes, Ashley had made it using a shimmering blue fur material and gold fringe, giving it the appearance of being much heavier than it actually was. The gold horse head was dyed seamlessly into the fur. She wears her hair up with a pin and tie, instead of a helmet, in a regal hairstyle.

Harmonic Salvation is a two handed longsword that is slate grey and stands up to her armpit. The handle is about three hands long. The sword is wrapped in a leather sheath that matches the Wondercolts’ blue color, while the handle is wrapped in golden leather. It was also set with a yellow gemstone in the hilt and a blue one as the pommel.

Knightstar wears blue scale armor with tactfully interspersed yellow scales. Over the scales is a shoulder cover that connects to armored sleeves. On each of their shoulders was stitched the Wondercolts' symbol. Her close helms' visor bares the likeness of a horse's head, and included gold mane-like crests. Her gloves are thick, blue leather and she wears knee-high boots that are also blue, with yellow laces on the outside instead of the front. Around her neck she wears a narrow blue cape, trimmed in gold and with their symbol on it.

Her kite shield, an almond shape, is blue with gold gilding around the edge and a golden horse head on the face. 

Justicarian Scale is a single handed long sword on the conservative side for length. It is thin, almost, nearing the width of a rapier. Its design is optimized for thrusting rather than slashing. The sword’s crossguard is square, but short.

Thunderborne wears a blue leather jacket casually worn over a yellow shirt. Thunderborne's chest has a blue leather plate with the horse head stitched on. She has blue leather Sam Belt to hold down the jackets and anchor Thunderborne’s rapier to her side. The belt’s strap is anchored on her chest by a shiny brass horse head buckle. There is plenty of trim on her jacket which are paired with tall riding boots that have yellow metal accents and trim, making her heals click with a crystal clack as she walks. She wears no helmet, in favor of putting her hair up into ponytails. The tie has defensive properties. She does not wear a cape. The fingers of their yellow gloves only covered up to their knuckles, which were reinforced.

Azure Aculeus is a blue shaded rapier which means Blue Needle. It was the Last Attack Bonus dropped by Scorpia Queen of the Arthropods and as such, its handle is smooth bulbs to mimic the tail of a scorpion. The Blade has been reinforced multiple times, mostly Durability and Quickness, but with a few Sharpness and Accuracy enhancements. 23 of the 30 enhancement attempts were successful. The blade is an end product and will shatter if another enhancement is attempted. The sword shines nicely, as if it is always freshly buffed, because it is an end product.

Earring: Speed +8
Necklace: Applejack’s Geode made by Diemond - Strength +12

The Plate of Veracity is an ornate chest piece of heavy plate armor which stands at an odd contrast to Backbreaker’s Iron Bulwark. Diemond matched the rest of her armor to the style of the ornate plate. Backbreaker’s right pauldron has a flare to protect her head as it rises above her shield. On it, is their horse head symbol. Her right gauntlet is larger and thicker than her left. It was designed to maximize her attack with martial arts and defense while using her hammer. Her blue cape covers her shoulders. It is trimmed with gold and has a gold horse head on it.

Guard Smasher is an unadorned warhammer of simple design. The pick is strong and the hammer looks normal. On the face of it is not the normal checkered hammer head. An apple is cut into the face of the head a fraction. Backbreaker keeps the apple painted red.

AFCK wears blue scale armor with tactfully interspersed yellow scales. Over the scales is a shoulder cover that connects to armored sleeves. It doubles as the anchor point for Geode Splitter. On each of their shoulders was stitched the Wondercolts' symbol. Her close helms' visor bares the likeness of a horse's head, and included gold mane-like crests. Her gloves are thick, blue leather and she wears knee-high boots that are also blue, with yellow laces on the outside instead of the front. Around her neck she wears a narrow blue cape, trimmed in gold and with their symbol on it.

Geode Splitter is a giant, double headed war axe. It was the Last Attack Bonus for the field boss the GeoCrawler. There is nothing special about the design. AFCK believes it is a gift from Papa Rock so she can better protect them and her friends.

Necklace: Rarity’s Geode made by Diemond - Skill Delay Reduction by 10%

Diemond’s chest plate matched her arrowhead style shield, and it looks heavier than Backbreaker’s armor. The lower edge of the cuirass goes low, down past her hips in a series of articulated lames that came to a point between her legs. It was designed to still allowed her to sit down with ease. Riveted on her chest and shield face was a blue backed yellow horse head. Her Pappenheim Helmet mimicked a horse head as much as possible. She wears the same, wider cape that Joltron and Backbreaker wear.

Radiant Beauty is a yellow steel flanged mace with multiple protrusions so close together they almost make it a full head. The shape of the flanges are smooth, symmetrical lines that come to a strong point to help pierce armor or break through solid objects.

Necklace: Fluttershy’s Geode made by Diemond - Defense +8

Doombunny wears a cute set of leather equipment, designed to help her carry all three of her blades. The outer coat has pockets hidden inside to securely store her poisons and potions without them being in open pouches. It also had wide, reinforced and strengthened shoulders for Colorra. Since she is the only one without a specific armor skill, she is alone with the design. It has the most yellow out of all their uniforms. It consisted of blue leggings, a yellow Silverthread dress with a knee length reinforced jacket with long sleeves and hood. Colorra's shoulder pads are a separate piece of blue leather which is braced by a shoulder holster design that pulls and anchors it in the back between her shoulder blades. The thin blue belt that kept her skirt in place also mounts her weapons. On her left hip is her regular blade, in its blue sheath. The yellow paralyzing blade is at the small of her black. Off her right hip was her pink dagger; the poison one. Despite being an open jacket with no buttons, it hides her daggers well. Doombunny also wears a blue headband to keep her hair in place when she wasn’t using the hood, blue boots that only covered her ankles, and blue Silverthread fingerless gloves, finishing off the ensemble.

Mourning Protector: The silver blade has a blue painted wooden handle. It is a long, single edged blade which falls at the long side of one handed daggers while still being noticeably shorter than the shortest swords. The knife has no guard and the back side of the blade’s tip has an edge to it. Outside of SAO, Mourning Protector would be classified as a dirk. 
Shadowsong: This curved tanto knife is Doombunny’s Yellow colored Paralysis blade. It is It always has a glossy shine to the blade because the sheath makes sure the blade always is oiled with a strong paralysis agent. Doombunny keeps it at the small of her back because it is the second easiest place for her to grab a weapon from in battle.
Endbringer: A bollock dagger, the blade is medium for SAO daggers, and it is a true, double edged dagger designed for stabbing. Like Shadowsong, it always shines with a glossy oil on it, indicating it is poisoned. The black wooden guard has two ovals as a guard to prevent her hand from slipping up onto the blade. The handle is wrapped in pink leather. She wears it on her right hip because it is harder for her to draw it with her right hand. The sheath is also pink. It is her guilty pleasure, the one Fluttershy thing she displays as a Wondercolt. As her favorite color, to be poisoned as strongly as it is, she is acutely aware of what it means to be drawing her pink dagger.

Astro wears a blue leather jacket casually worn over a yellow shirt. Astro's chest has a blue metal chest plate, accented with gold trim and their horse head on the face. She has blue leather Sam Belt to hold down the jackets and anchor Thunderborne’s rapier to her side. The belt’s strap is anchored on her chest by a shiny brass horse head buckle.

She wears no helmet, in favor of putting her hair up into ponytails. The tie has defensive properties. She does not wear a cape. The fingers of their yellow gloves only covered up to their knuckles, which were reinforced.

Dragon Tale is a black shafted spear with yellow leather at the typical handholds. The spearhead is narrow and straight, like a sword, and it is over a foot long. The spearhead is backed by a crossguard at the point where it attaches to the shaft. The guard is not sharp, meaning Dragon Tail is a spear and not a trident. It is often referred to as a cross spear.

His gloves are thick, blue leather and he wears knee-high boots that are also blue, with yellow laces on the outside instead of the front. Around her neck he wears a narrow blue cape, trimmed in gold and with their symbol on it.

Mistmane's Fury is a longer - nodachi - Katana with a wooden scabbard. The gold tsuba has 4 cherry blossoms edged into its face. The rayfish leather handle is died light yellow while the silk braiding wrap over it is a blue several shades deeper and richer than the Wondercolts' blue. That same goes for the color of the scabbard. Being a nodachi katana, Mistmane's Fury generally requires two hands to use.

Lessa wears blue scale armor with tactfully interspersed yellow scales. Over the scales is a shoulder cover that connects to armored sleeves.

Hankyu is a Chinese Jian style sword, with a short wing handguard that slopes back at an angle. The guard is gold, while the wooden handle is blue. The pommel is also gold. No tassel is worn on the pommel. The blade is well balanced for both cutting and thrusting techniques, making it more versatile than a rapier, while only being a little wider and heavier. Lessa enjoys the speed and precision of Hankyu and pairs it well with her shield.

Earring: Defense +7
Necklace: Shield Geode made for Joltron by Diemond - Strength +8

Joltron’s armor was designed to match his shield, at least in style. It was made with sharper angles, like a crystal, and has many sharp ridges. Every so often one of the “crystals” was yellow instead of blue. Both pauldrons spiked up, providing a matching angular look to the Obsidian Shield. Despite the angular design, Diemond had managed to emboss their horse head symbol over his chest. Even his Sallet helmet had crystalline protrusions flanking the sides and ridges along the guard at the back of his neck. His cape was made in the same style as Backbreaker's cape.

The red on the Obsidian Shield has been replaced with Wondercolts' Blue, but the obsidian gems are still black. Narrow stripes of their yellow had been added through the middle of each blue V, giving the appearance of eight chevrons pointed towards the center of the shield.

The Starlight Axe is a bearded axe with a small head and an uncharacteristically long handle. Out of the single head a star is cut. Despite the lopsided design, the system keeps the weight in the axe head where it is supposed to be.
