11717763 So far I think the Apple's chapter was the best being the longest and more coherent so far, with a good development and I thought it was a nice touch to see Granny Smith and the other elderly Apple getting turned into drones.
11718183 I think that seeing Spike shaped like a pony in a hazmat suit, would make it very hard to recognize even with a spade tail, it's more likely it would be dismissed as a decoration of the suit or some dragon pony underneath, then think on the spot that is was Spike who was transmogrified; at least it would be my impression, especially with now other clue that it could be him, like a name tag maybe. If he acted or did something that that could be associated to him or just talk the there just a maybe change I could believe it was him. One in show example that was hard to recognized the pony of that is when Discord just changed Twilight and Cadance's manes, I just didn't recognized either of them even when it was done right in front of my eyes. But this is your story so anything you decide goes.

If you go back to chapter 1, I added a few parts of Spike's ponydron-ification.
