Whoops, sorry for the typo.

Yeah, traps weren't pushed than much and neither were Trap Masters.
But even if they were they would have still been a better way to represent the spirit of the series.
Magic crystals which let you capture and control villains or big bulky guys with special crystal weapons do say "Skylanders" to me; vehicles and techy themed environments and features don't.

Not to mention traps improved regular gameplay while vehicles are a side part of the game, just like SWAP Zones but more prominent and different.

I doubt they'll repeat what has been done this year but it all boils dow to what the gimmick will be (if there will be a new gimmick, of course).

Useless comment: I find the way Big Bubble Pop Fizz walks very interesting. I can hear any music and the way he walks just fits with the song.

Even this?

Yeah. Imagine he walking in a sad place while this music plays.

These are actually pretty cool! Wonder why they went from a dino to a mammal type as this race is pretty cool looking and I wouldn't mind owning one of them. Perhaps one of this species will see a release for a future game? I personally would like to see the one on the left as she appears to be a chain type user with Traptanium Crystals at the end. That would be a rather unique weapon of choice for a Skylander and a bit more believable than hurling around a huge wrecking ball or whatever Brawl & Chain tosses around.

I guess because then she'd probably be referred to as a female version of Dino-Rang. I think they went with the best possible design for Smash Hit.

I don't really like Smash Hit's current species that much,felt like VV was trying to justify the fact they shove bipedal animals in their games instead of fantasy creatures(and usually their own interpretations of fantasy creatures, have you guys seen their mermaid designs even if they've yet to be on the games?) or mishmash of animals like TFB. Anthro animals are well and good but you can see that everywhere, Mabu and co., not so much.

Now I'm wishing we had gotten her as one of the Earth element Trap Masters...

I would have loved smash hit as a dinosaur but the warsupial is pretty awesome.

Quick question: Someone knows what track will come in the Land Racing Pack besides The After Party?

Temple of Arkus. You can actually see even locked tracks with names and descriptions if you hover over them ingame.

What.

It will be that Drill-X race track?

Quote: Aura24

What.

I would love to play as this Santa in the game.

Drill-X doesn't have one here,it's just in Racing and I don't remember if it's pack exclusive.

Also TECH MEANS ROBOT GUYS, EVEN IN A REINDEER SLEIGH POWERED BY XMAS MAGIC

Well, any idea of how Temple of Arkus will be?

It appears in one of the bigger trailers. It's using the assets of Rampant Ruins... Not sure what else they'll do new.

Nice video!
That Santa indeed looks badass.

It made a question pop up in my mind, though: how could V.V. not put anything vehicle-related in SWAP Force?
Yeah, Glumshanks fights you using a tank and there is a part in Boney Islands where you have to ride a small train-like vehicle but... It's still not that much considering how much they love vehicles!

Just look at their eyes when they talk about them and racing gears... They look like kids during Christmas!
I'm sincerely happy they were able to make one of their dreams come true with SuperChargers.

Of course I would have preferred if they did it by developing a spin-off or a game completely unrelated to the series but still, I think they actually held themselves back with this year's game, after all.

After seeing topics about reviews of Nightfall and Splat, I'm thinking in making reviews of my Spyro's Adventure Skylanders (obviously in the SA forum). I decided to question here to see if there's someone interesting in seeing those reviews, since I will not make if anyone watches.

In that case, a Skylanders Review Discussion thread for this board should be made so that separate review topics won't crowd the section.

Wait, what's all this about the 25th in Superchargers? Did I miss something in the video when I was distracted by Santa's awesomeness?

Wow, Smash Hit could've been a cool Skylander. I love the leptoceratops design of what it could've been. The large wrecking ball/morningstar and scythe-chain suits a dinosaur more than whatever Smash Hit is because it has a prehistoric/barbaric element to it, and I would've liked Smash Hit and bought the figure. Dinosaurs are cool to begin with, and I love them more than dragons. What a waste of a great design in favor of an uninteresting design.

I really hate how dinosaurs get shafted in favor of dragons or other creatures across all media. From Digimon to Pokémon to Skylanders. Dinosaurs need better recognition than being second rate dragons. Well, at least I have Chopper.

So do airplanes, but land vehicles (cars, trucks, MONSTER trucks) are much cooler. Quality, not quantity. An extra ability is just that, extra. Greymon > Charizard.

And??

I've heard from a few people who have been contacted by the company about a "surprise next year." They said it comes in wave 4 and several others were told, but they must keep quiet until new year's day. They made it sound like there were multiple surprises in the post. They sounded quite convincing so I believe it to an extent. BUT, I don't think it'll be anything like light or dark. Sounds like they are just trying to hype up Birthday Bash Pop Fizz and a few other unreleased variants.

EDIT: Referring to the Christmas discussion above, I just set the date to 12/25.

^ Have you changed the time to midnight?

So yeah, they are going to try to pimp their Alt deco wares until next September. Whoptie do.

I'm calling wave 4 the Alt-mageddon. Also I tried setting the time to midnight, nothing at all happened. What console are you on, and what did you see?

How do you change date on Wii U? I want to see this "magic"

Go to system settings. Then click date and time. I tried multiple times, I even set it to 12/24 at 11:55 in case I would miss it, nothing happened at all.

Some secret-keepers. There goes the company's trust for them. That is, if those details were supposed to be kept under wraps.

Yeah, he specifically said "I don't wanna lose my trust with these guys," then proceeds to say something (likely BBBBPF) is being revealed on new years day.

.............Yep, obviously a young'un.

Or this could just be a troll seeking attention.

I can say there are surprises but definitely not what you're thinking

Though certainly may piss a few people off though.

You know how Activision is.

One of the Surprises was of course the Kaos Trophy being Single Pack but that has been discovered already.

Mmmmh... Skymiibos Singles?

That would certainly piss A LOT of people off.

That is almost exactly what this guy was saying. He mentioned a Kaos trophy single, plus the existence a few other surprises, and the fact that several others were told about them. If this is true (and if it's not more variants we already discovered), then V.V did 100x better than T.F.B when it comes to secrecy. Hm, as for pissing people off... QUICK, what's the worst possible choice they could add to Superchargers? Overpriced Instants? Wal-Mart exclusive Power Blues? A NIGHTMARE-INDUCING EASTER THRILLIPEDE?! Oh wait that's already been done...

So you're the one user from reddit, who willingly (and supposedly) exposed that there are surprises coming, at the risk of Acti cutting off connections with you?

My connections aren't Activision, my connections is to someone who has trusted me not to spill the beans, who by the looks have told a few people I know but all are trustworthy as I haven't seen anything being said on many sites I'm apart of. We just have to wait for the Ok from said person (Who is a very reliable source and is also on this page, but they're quiet they only pop up every now and then to add some info)

..........Rriigghhhtt. You kinda already spilled the beans by revealing that there are surprises coming. Bet that user is regretting spreading the details around now.

..........Rriigghhhtt. You kinda already spilled the beans by reveal that there are surprises coming.

Most of the surprises have already been discovered, for example Acitvision's Legal List showing the Koas Trophy as a Single Pack (Which is real and happening everyone knows it, just some people choose not to believe it) or the person who worked their way on getting a list on all the in- game variants.

I'm only hyping people up, I haven't said what it is yet. It gets people excited and they try to figure out what it could be. It's like warming up for a basketball game, getting pumped up, ready to play.

Wait, I'm so confused. Can someone explain to me what this Magic is that's happening on the 24th or 25th? And what do you mean by surprises? Does that mean Activision is just revealing new stuff? If so, then I bet it's just pics of some variants or something.

First off, there is no Dec. 24th/25th surprise. TakeYourLemons was joking.

Silverwolf, how big is this surprise?

Christmas Eve 24th and Christmas 25th, nothing Skylander related on those days, unless you're unwrapping Skylanders

Yeah basically just revealing goodies. Who knows they maybe revealing pictures as well, wouldn't mind seeing Birthday Big Bubble Pop Fizz or any of the other variants

Not sure if this has been shown:

This was found on Mikenacharge's Instagram page. Still waiting for him to say the official source.
