Pinkie Pie: Hey Cheese! I once threw a birthday party in the royal palace!
Cheese Sandwich: Oh yeah? I once threw a party in the middle of a tropical lake... on a giant floating pizza!
DM: Huh?!
Pinkie Pie: Oooh! Well I've got a party cannon! Whadda you got?
Cheese Sandwich: Oh yeah?! I've got a giant party TANK!
DM: What? No, that's impossible for MANY reasons!
Cheese Sandwich: It's a one-off character, so who cares!
Pinkie Pie: Alright, but can you perform an epic sonnet?!
(beat)
Cheese Sandwich: A what?
You know what, it's been long enough.

When bards have epic throw downs, everybody has a good time. I regret that I never had any pc who liked playing a bard. Well, once in a while they might dip bard, but mostly for the skills. Never for the entertaining craft.
So ponies have the word tank in their lexicon, and it has one definition of the vehicle (based on what Dash named his tortoise). Wonder what kind of tanks they have?
I suspect they have water tanks, in the same sense that we do: large, not-self-propelled containers of water.
If they have had wars this side of the invention of the locomotive, it's quite possible the name "tank" for the vehicle came about the same way it did for us ("no, honest, these are just mobile water tanks, not purpose-built weapons").
Then again, MLP being MLP, it's also possible their first tanks were more honestly water tanks - as in firefighting vehicles with water cannons. ("Ready, aim, extinguish!")
More to the point: how fast can she come up with a new one, on the spot? With the right inspiration, it doesn't take that long to whip out a rough one.
But it does take a few minutes being out of the spotlight. Might Twilight be preparing one, for herself or for Pinkie to perform, just in case?
(I'm currently on comic 454, but thought I'd toss an idea out for consideration).
So, I'm going on the assumption that "Elusive"'s identity has not yet been revealed.
I had an insight into a perfect pony for the part. The only problem? This pony doesn't get much screen time, so good images will be elusive. :-).
Derpy.
I know, you look at the pony, and think it's an idiot, right?
So the eyes are off. So a few genes are defective. That's not an automatic sign of an idiot.
Biologically, "pretty" is just a fancy word for "symmetrical" plus "all features average", as an indication that the genes inside are probably middle-of-the-road / best for children. Derpy is clearly not a middle-of-the-road gene pony. But that can just as easily mean super-smart and super-manipulative, a pony that can get everyone else to underestimate them, or just ignore them.
As I said, I'm about 400 comics behind, and catching up (I'm just at the "you got your barbarian guild in my thieves guild" point).

That was awesome. Great throwback.
