Development
On June 16, 2013, Meghan McCarthy wrote on Twitter that Flash Sentry would not be a character in the fourth season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.[2] He did, however, make a non-speaking cameo in Three's A Crowd as well as a speaking cameo in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1; Jim Miller explained on Twitter in May 2014, "He was never in the scripts. He was added later by request."[3]
According to M.A. Larson, Flash Sentry was originally going to appear in Slice of Life, where he would ask Cranky Doodle Donkey why no one likes him.[4]Depiction in the series
In Three's A Crowd, Flash Sentry makes a non-speaking cameo as one of Princess Cadance's royal guard escorts and smiles before getting back on the Crystal Empire train.
Flash Sentry reappears in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, where he has a speaking role introducing the Duke and Duchess of Maretonia.
Depiction in Equestria Girls

Twilight and Flash at the end of the movie.
When Twilight returns to the Crystal Castle at the end of the film, she bumps into Flash Sentry a second time. He helps her up and jokingly states that they need to stop meeting like that. When Twilight's friends say that she must have a crush on him, Twilight denies it but blushes. Pinkie Pie accurately guesses that he reminds Twilight of a rock guitarist whom she met and liked in the human world.
In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship, Flash Sentry briefly appears as a royal guard outside the Canterlot Library. In the extended version, Sunset Shimmer does a double take when she passes by him.
