I see the ice Bifrost is talking about... hmm

Really holding out that they didn't change Grave Clobber's voice, having a guy with a scary voice would be great.

Taking Kevin Michael Richardson away from him would be a crime, the VA is the best one you can get for intimidating strong characters. He's even done roles as far back as Terrador and Gaul from LOS. And BOY, can he nail his lines.

If they take away Tae's voice too... they are dead.

No but I think Hood Sickle's the only one getting "switched" even though he didn't get switched. They want to match it up with Hood Sickle's Superchargers voice.

I think it might be KMR doing Hood Sickle too, and somehow they screwed that up, soooo...

That doesn't sound like him at all. Also took too long to add the edit with Gaul's example of VA because I love sharing that. Unlike Malefor and Mark Hamill, KMR didn't even need a voice mod other than echo.

Though Grave Clobber, obviously with being almost 10 years of technology ahead, sounds way better, just look at his boss battle in Battlecast.

Okay, it's probably not KMR, but it's definitely someone I've heard a lot.

Isn't Broccoli Guy supposed to be in this game as an NPC or something? Or was that for Academy?

He hosts Troll Radio with Chill Bill.

EDIT: I really liked Grave Clobber's Trap Team voice, it feels weird without the manical laughter

It's probably because the soundclips in Battlecast have to be all short or they overlap each other. But the point stands that they kept his voice actor there, so chances are bigger he kept his for Imaginators.

What were be trying to figure out with GC? His class?

Yup. There seems to be some object near his fist in the artwork tease. While he might still be Brawler, he might throw projectiles as well.

To me, looking at it, either he's doing an ice/water punch or his arm(s) are aqua/ice jets.

I know I've said that before, but I think one of two are likely the class for him.

And looking at his figure, since he's flexing, I'm leaning towards Brawler.

king pen... single???

I've been at work all day so they all could possibly be just ones we already know. But anyone else see the small roster of Senseis and Crystals? Can we make out any new Sensei's or are they all ones we already know about?

They are all ones we know about already.

From what I can tell after the slightly better look at the poster (thanks Andy and Wes) he indeed has something between his arms and the base.

But as of now it could be really anything, from splashes of water or ice columns to chains.

Reveal Spoiler

Grave Clobber, since he seems to have ice/cold water stuff?

Spoilery Spoilers.

it would be better with the squidgirl though

I've been thinking about something. When we learned that we would get all the racing portion of Superchargers in Imaginators, it was somewhat good news since it shows that vehicles will keep most of their utility past the game they were introduced in. But wouldn't it have been better that we get something else instead and keep the racing experience only for Superchargers? Like a new mode in the style of Kaos Mode in Trap Team or some form of PvP. I feel like having the racing in Imaginators gives less value to Superchargers. I don't expect to spend a lot of time doing racing in Imaginators, considering I've played Superchargers enough during the past year.

Cutting and pasting the racing section from sc was a simple option for not making vehicles pointless in SI. making a whole new function / area for them would be better but also it would take actual effort and work.

Racing wasn't super popular anyway but I'm thinking as an incentive to kept using vehicles or new players to buy vehicles , that we'll get decent rewards from the imaginators racing section relative to what we got from superchargers. Racing might be a good way to get money or unlock parts etc.

YES!!! Mysticat has a single, now I don't have to get that ugly mold that comes in the Double Pack, but the pretty one in the Single Pack.
As one Grave Clobber, well I hope he's not in an Adventure Pack, since I'm not getting him, (thanks King Pen ) but his va was pretty goo... OH WAIT! My game's in German anyway, so it doesn't matter. Well then... I guess I hope they keep the German va as well.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about battle classes? I mean, every skylander is unique and the battle class are just... this year gimmick (they're just a sign under the toy).

Well, you indeed have a point but Grave Clobber being a Water Brawler would just be weird since we have another one in all the Starter Packs.

I would still buy him but he would somehow feel like something I already own, if you can understand what I mean.

I though the problem was more that it was just kind of a missed opportunity? Like, why have two Water Brawlers when you could have 3 Brawlers in different elements each? I dunno.

I'm not getting him becuase I prefer the Squid Girl and I'm forced to get King Pen... and I'm only getting two characters for each element, just so you know.

Also why a brawler when he could be a Bazooker and do ROCKETO PUNCH
I watched too much from Kirby Planet Robobot, and not enough toku.

Wow some stupid guy almost got me here. An article announcing a new Skylanders Update... Except the guy doesn't know the difference between update and release date. Also claimed "no word on an international release", this was written today. You can't make this **** up.

Yeah, I understand but Grave Clobber is still a new character (a old villain that we know) so I don't see the point "If he is a brawler I won't get him". Battle Class are just to open gate and COUGH "teach" COUGH new moves to the created character.

But you have king pen he teaches the move

i really hope grave clobber is a bazooker and uses rocket punch

i might get him anyway but its like one of tose skylanders that it doesnt matter to me if i get him or not, im not getting bad juju at all anyway

besides brawler is my fav class but idk im just going to wait a few weeks after he comes out then see some gameplay to see how he plays

Bazooker is taken... -.-

any not taken?

Good point.


I'm thinking Grave Clobber is a Brawler for sure now.

Unless Blaster-Tron becomes Brawler, which seems impossible at this point, Grave Clobber appears to be a Brawler.

Guys... please don't start the "which Battle Class does he have" argument again. Blaster-Tron's a Knight, we saw his sword and Grave Clobber's a Brawler becuase that's what he originally is anyway!

We saw his sword but the new poster scan is kiinda unclear. It's a really big object that resembles the cannon from an Imaginator we've seen the other day.



Could still be the sword, but we've seen that is also somewhat thin. Could go either way.

But Chompy Mage is a Bazooker... :/

Just like having 3 of each class(Pit Boss breaks it), which we thought that was a rule but it isn't, they could be doing whatever without following having a villain on each class.

But that would be silly

I just had a worrying thought... I know it's a bit too early to think about the next game, but... Is VV working on both the Crash remakes AND the seventh game? At the same time? If that's the case, then I'm expecting one of these games to have worse time constraints than this game...

Quote: Luminous35

But that would be silly

What happened to "anything's possible" and "expect the unexpected"?

Don't bring that up. I was only using that for Chompy Mage

"Silly" is no longer a known word when Grave Clobber becomes Water.

Yes, VV is working on 7 and the Crash Remakes and possibly even a new game, all at once. Activision management at its best.

*slow claps*

I'm not expecting the Crash remakes to happen for a few years, so like, I don't feel like we have a super whole lot to worry about.

The Crash remakes where already confirmed for Q1 2017.

Yeah, I'm doubting that. Delays happen.

Which probably means they've been working on them for a while. Probably since SSC.

In companies not named Activision, just like price cuts. Unless Sony really pushes for them to not be stupid, they'll shove them out of the door for all they care.
Thankfully VV implied they're using the Thumpin' Wumpa Islands to develop stuff for the games, so they saved time with models already.

Also PAX East is September 2nd and foward. No info on what's at the Expo Hall however, just panels.

Tough we still have no idea if it will be remakes or remasters. Sources said booth.
