"Prior to the great Celestia-Luna rift, there was no need for the Earth Unicorn Pegasi - or E.U.P. - Guard. But after Luna's banishment, the Protective Pony Platoons were formed. On the anniversary of the first Celestial year of peace, a celebration was held. Headed by General Firefly, an elite team of aerial performers were chosen to help commemorate this auspicious occasion. The first performance was so full of energy, so highly charged, that magical lightning showered down on the crowd. Everypony was so filled with amazement and wonder that General Firefly dubbed them the Wonderbolts."
"Colonel Purple Dart, the leader of the Wonderbolts in the 4th Celestial era, was known for his—"
"After becoming the official flying squadron for Princess Celestia, she honored them with—"
Premier Wonderbolts choreographer: Commander Easy Glider
How many pegasi flew in the original squad: 7
Princess Celestia's favorite flight pattern: Icaranian Sun Salutation
General Flash: 10th leader of the Wonderbolts
Admiral Fairy Flight, from the 7th squadron
Flair de Mare streamlined the uniform design
Admiral Fairweather (unknown when they lead)
Also Rainbow Dash's answers for the pop quiz: Ernie's Undercooked Pancakes, Celestia's Cereal Celebration, and General Blazing Donut Glaze (as opposed to Twilight's Colonel Waffle).

Me too. I love worldbuilding and pony lore and I was impressed by how seriously they seemed to take it, what with the Celestia/Luna conflict and the confirmation that Celestia needs armed guards. Equestria isn't just a tea-party world and I know it isn't, but I'm still surprised when they bring up shit like the military in a show called My Little Pony.
Like you, I was looking around to see if somebody compiled all the lore. I found this on reddit:
Which reminds me that Twilight's"please don't say Colonel Waffle" was pretty funny.
EDIT: I don't often have an excuse to use this emote:"Princess Celestia's favorite flight pattern: Icaranian Sun Salutation"

So...the list was already compiled... Well...Celestia dammit.
I can always clean it up, add pictures and such. There is still a host of information not mentioned.
Or I an surrender... and give up...Let's go with that...

Do it with pictures, dude. I think it would add a lot. For example Pinkie at the end is apparently dressed as Firefly which is an interesting factoid for ponyhistorians like us. Work up an illustrated post and post it here.

I am already noticing things that he missed in his transcript. Colonel PurpleDart was identified earlier (or later).

Rainbow Crash wrote:I think where this episode really shines is in the direction. There were so many visual touches that were perfectly handled. Interesting camera angles, movements, perspectives, and unique scene transitions. But most importantly, there were a lot of gags that relied on visual humor and they were all nailed perfectly

PictishBeast wrote:Are the ponies with speaking lines at the end ponies that we're supposed to know? Because the one playing Admiral Fairy Flight needs a voice coach.
Fizzbuzz wrote:I guess it helps that the background and storyboard artists are right there in Vancouver and have a highly talented and passionate bunch of people working there. With it being made in Flash, too, I'm sure the all-digital format makes the revision process much easier than it ever was in traditional cel animation.
I am so sorry for the size of the post and images...
