First thing: All the foals scale to Small Building level via this calc. The calc, however, uses granite, when the destroyed material is pretty blatantly soil. The results vary depending on if you used the low, mean, or high end of soil pulverization (0.2, 0.7, and 1 joules/cc respectively). Either way, the results get knocked down to wall level.
The calc also has a comic explosion that was calculated at megajoule level, though ground level formula would be better. Given the door was completely obliterated, we might find something with inverse square law, but for now, it's stuck at higher-end wall level.
Furthermore, Rockhoof in his scrawny form should lose all scaling. No small building level, no wall level, no nothing. The guy supposedly failed to lift an axe out of a stump. There are zero reasons to scale him to anything or anyone. It doesn't matter what the average strength for a verse is. Weaklings can exist, and if they are portrayed as below average such as struggling with feats that aren't even street level, they should be given the appropriate tier.
Lastly, all foals should lose scaling to 8-A scaling. Only adult ponies have taken hits from Spike's fire breath from what I've seen. It doesn't matter if Spike is a kid like the foals, there's no way of knowing if Pony children are comparable to Dragon children without any feats, and without any of that, I don't see any reason why the foal profiles should scale to him. See this comment for my updated opinion on the subject. The short version is: As long as there's a usable clip for scaling, I think 8-A is fine, which I believe I got.
I've also seen foals with Class K lifting strength. Something only adults have done. Unless there are appropriate feats, I see no reason to scale the foals to the adults. They should be knocked down to Superhuman like Sweetie Belle.
