SSC might have the most alts ever! The DEV team is just spitting variants here and there. Birthday Bash Big Bubble Pop Fizz, Spring Ahead Dive Bomber, Golden Hot Streak, Power Blue Splat, Power Blue Splatter Splasher, Power Blue Trigger Happy and Gold Rusher, and most recently, Bronze Roller Brawl an Tomb Buggy! ALTS WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD! (Won't be surprised if there's a Power Blue Land Racing Action Pack)

The point is, Altmageddon can go on forever if they want so, but sooner or later Skylanders 6 will be revealed and that will be the moment a lot of us will stop caring about it entirely.
I personally already couldn't care less.

It's sad SuperChargers had to rely so much on variants that they are more or less what is keeping us interested in it, aside for the remaining things which still have to be widely released (Land Racing Action Pack, Thrillipede and Buzz Wing).

Well, you never know... Sky 6 could have even more alts than Superchargers.

But in all honesty it does kind of feel like they were pretty desperate with variants for this game. The Legendaries, those have been around since the first game. Dark Editions have been a thing since Swap Force, as have holiday-themed variants, so nothing against any of those.

But Birthday Bash Pop Fizz... the Dark Skymiibos... the Power Blues... I fail to see why these needed to exist in the first place (Although I think the Power Blues were for like autism awareness or something, right?)

Could be but that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing per se.
The problem if they released, like, 50 different variants and only 10 or so new Skylanders.

Then it would be SuperChargers all over again.

No problem if they create a solid cast of new characters and then decide to throw in a good number of variants, really.

And my point was more about the fact we'll be all talking about Skylanders 6 announcement rather than getting excited over a white Nightfall or whatever they have still not released.

I think that's really it for the variants. I mean, if there were any more dataminers probably would've discovered them by now.

However, I'm still waiting for a Hanukkah variant. ...Not because I'm Jewish, I celebrate Christmas, but just for a little more diversity.

Well... Not a variant but...



Anyway, datamining can reveal in-game variants not chase ones.

Oh right. Yeah, I don't get why they even thought chase variants were a good idea in the first place. I mean, they're absolutely pointless. The only reason I can see for them is selling them to some douche on eBay to then in turn sell them for ten times as much money.

There are a lot of alt skylanders, but not enough to make altmaggedon

^
^ I don't like chase variants either. They are absolutely pointless. They are worth a lot though.

You don't need to double post,just edit your existing one.

Wasn't there a Patina Nightfall as well?
Or was it confirmed to be fake...?

If yes, she would be the only new SuperCharger without a variant.

What a dark year for us Portal Masters...

There's only 3 patina figures that have shown up with multiples from more than 1 source.

Variant-Free List

1. Deep Dive Gill Grunt
2. Nightfall

4. Burn-Cycle
5. Buzz Wing
6. Crypt Crusher
7. Jet Stream
8. Reef Ripper

The Nightfall and Burn Cycle variants are fake. This game's ludicrous no holds barred on Alt Deco / chase is why I'm done with them with this entry. I'll pick ONE version of a character and call it done. Assuming of course the next game gains my support, which is now no longer guaranteed.

Make that double for me.

I'm pretty sure the Burn-cycle and nightfall were fake, because they never showed up except for one person.

Wow, who could this strange person be?

We would like to see the alternates of the ones not matched up yet, for example:

Dark Nightfall to match up to Dark Sea Shadow.
Spring Ahead Dive Clops to match up with Spring Ahead Dive Bomber.
And so on.

I wonder what a Dark Nightfall would look like. Hm.

They knew ssc wouldn't make much so they made 100000000 variants to get some more cash

Well... We do have a Dark Sea Shadow so I guess she would lose her pearlized look and simply have a silver, black and grey palette with some purple parts.

I would say they didn't create so many variants because of that but simply to have more to sell in a cheaper way.
SuperChargers only has 20 new characters' figures, including reposes, and vehicles are more a matter of aesthetic preference since they barely impact gameplay outside of the obvious Sea/Land/Sky distinction.

They had to create tons of variants to reach the number of figures the older games had.
I just hope we'll see the proportions inverted this year.

Nightfall isn't pearlized though, only her jacket; everything else is black or silver. In a word,she'd look incredibly dull. She'd be better off having her own variant, maybe something with dark blues and light greens for a more 'underwater monster' look. Or they could 100% confirm she's an anthro eel and just give her a fitting palette.

Yeah, I was talking about the jacket because that's probably the most prominent part on her figure, she's definitely not like Blackout or Knight Mare.

Since you mentioned it though, am I the only one a bit skeptical about her being an anthropomorphic eel...?
I mean, I saw her video but it's V.V. we are talking about here: the ones who are still convinced Scratch is a cat just because their started with that concept in mind, created a cat without a tail or whiskers and thought a Teenage Mutant Ninja Skunk would have been a good idea.

Besides we already have an anthropomorphic eel and Punk Shock looks nothing like her.

Would love if she had a round mouth full of sharp teeth but I'm simply not that convinced... :/

It's the same case as Scratch(they say 'she was pretty much an eel' over the initial drawings when she still had the dorsal fins), yeah, but after that taking a closer look at the breathing apparatus it is shaped like she has a moray's mouth - goes way foward to cover just a nose. We know from the 'underwater creature on land' line that she's definately some sort of fish; so any kind of underwater monster palette wouldn't look half bad though it'd probably not be nice to someone's thalassophobia.
