Not sure if this has been shown:

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

Hacker for sure.

EDIT: Nevermind, SkylandersGame just uploaded a video where you could see the Land Trophy being unlocked for a second, nothing special.

Well, thinking again at what SilverWolf2308 said, one think which would indeed piss me off is if Wave 4 was entirely made out of variants and Single of previously released Skylanders or vehicles thus keeping Thrillipede, Buzz Wing, Tomb Buggy and the remaining new figures for Wave 5.

It wouldn't be that far fetched, considering how bad they handled distribution and marketing choices this year...

I don't get this...so you're wondering why they are going to stretch the last 3 characters and racing pack? If you're not participating in AltDecogeddon, it's going to feel like waiting for the yawn traps.

The thing that I think that would be good but can piss of people is the reveal of a new game...

???

I used Google Translate and here's what it says: Christmas comes early this year! We are ready to release this Supercharged Monster. Anyone have an idea on what it is?

Oh god, they're actually doing it. Santa's Sleigh is coming! And only one more day!!!

It better be that and not a xmas variant for Shield Striker,which is the only one that even barely fits that shape ._.'

Well, at least a new surprise character/vehicle will be great. But, which element it will be? I can only think of Magic, Water or Light.

It'll be the Air Elite with a Fire Elite vehicle. Despite not being a SSA figure to begin with. Salt for everybody!

Oh my gosh. OH MY FRICKIN' FRICK. THAT BETTER BE A SANTA SLEIGH FIGURINE OR I'M GONNA DIE.

So, the announce date will be?

They're gonna wait until it's leaked, then wait several more months while denying it ever existed until they decide to announce a new variant: Easter Edition Santa Sleigh! Comes with everyone's favorite Skylander, Elite Jet-Vac.

It'll no doubt be a fifth Hot Streak variant.

I wonder what this is! When is it being announced?!

I wonder if they thought Missile-Tow Dive-Clops should have a christmas vehicle since Eggcited Thrillipede would have Spring Ahead Dive Bomber?

Seems like Santa would be kind of an instant character to supercharge his sleigh since they are highlighting the sleigh more. It'll be interesting to see what its about.

With the way they are pushing vehicles, I'm surprised they didn't make ALL Skylanders instant.

You forgot Instant Hot Streak.

Yuletide Hot Streak confirmed!

At the risk of them stealing the spotlight of vehicles...?!
No way!

Anyway, the italian Facebook page got it covered for a couple days.
It didn't look like some version of Shield Striker from what I was able to see.
It had Hot Streak or Burn-Cycle's exhaust pipes and since the shape doesn't fit Lava Lance Eruptor's motorbike...

Guess we'll have a Santa's Streak, this year (or it might simply be a life sized working Hot Streak)!
Good Eon, Skylanders 6 announcement couldn't come sooner I'm getting tired of Activision forcing this brand to become an Hot Wheels clone...

I hope that vehicle will have it's own characters as well.

That secret vehicle reveal is tomorrow according to the US version of the post.

The italian page said it would have been revealed today.
Nothing new, as of now.

I'll keep checking from time to time.

There's a rather large amount of hype for something that might not even be related to the game. They have pictures of a pit-crew a few pics before, so I believe that it'll just be a real life "Supercharged" Santa Sleigh.

Still hoping that it'll be an actual figure, though. There was a recent video posted showing concept art of a Superchargers themed sleigh and Santa (with a rather cool looking candy cane sword).

Sure!
Still nothing, though. :/

Sorta disappointing.

So...no new figure? Dang...I was getting really hyped...

Um... what is that?

Because nothing says "Skylanders" better than a rocket-powered orange sleigh!
I absolutely loved this year's advertising choices: we saw vehicles, we talked about vehicles, we got to learn more about vehicles and we even got a vehicle-themed Christmas song!

"Skylanders", you say?
Well, not that you really need them with all these marvelous vehicles around, but we got you covered: here's your 8 overused reposes.
No need to thank, really.

Want more content?
Buy our racing themed Expansion Packs, which comes with two brand new tracks for your vehicles to try out, a Trophy which acts exactly like last year's gimmick figures (... "capture crystals", I think...) which are now basically useless and a vehicle!
*Oh, yes... There is also a new SuperCharger character but don't worry!
Two of them are super awesome fan favorites, Trigger Happy and Gill Grunt, and the third has such an ugly figure no one would most likely bother even looking at him.*

Still didn't had enough of vehicles (I know, how could you?)?
Try out this year's 3DS and Wii version, where your previous collection practically doesn't remotely impact gameplay but... HEY!
More space for vehicle awesomeness, am I right?

That was your last chance at making me care about cars, Acti. It doesn't even have the same colors as the artwork.

I doubt VV is responsible for this too. I'm thinking it's Acti itself.

I guess so.
V.V. indeed loves vehicles but they sure aren't responsible for everything concerning the game.

Especially these random things that they clearly would've cared more about. Again, this is just some random coat of paint and supposedly about xmas coming early - and lo and behold,it's not anywhere close to the xmas colors,let alone the pattern they had in the mecha sleigh.

That's it? Oh... okay. Expected. Now if you wish new characters you need a brain wash from S6 Brain Washer Gill Grunt.

Seems like they're enjoying this year's gimmick a lot, huh?

But never forget: Buy more useless chunks of plastic instead of Splatoon goats, marvelously animated dreadwalkers, eyeburning astronauts and the same figure for the 20th time, because you can never have enough closets filled with piles of Stealth Elf's!
Buy more toys!!

Does no one like SuperChargers. I just ordered the game and now I'm getting genuinely scared. Did I just waist my money?

You ordered before asking,sooooo...

They are planting vehicles in your mind, they hate skylanders now... vehicles vehicles vehicles [i] vehicles/i] vehicles vehicles!!!

The game itself is great. I still like Trap Team more, but Superchargers feels fresh and adds a lot of new stuff. It has a few downsides, such as most of the postgame being racing, but the addition of online makes up for it. The genuinely BAD stuff is the advertising. To put it simply.... "VEHICLES RACING VROOM VROOM NASCAR HOT WHEELS FAAAAAAAAAAAAST FEET ARE STUPID RACE RACE RACE RACE ohandnewskylanders"

I agree, the game is fun.

Nah, the game is more than fine.
Great plot, interesting new features and an overall nice gimmick.

Like others have said, the problem with this "experience" (that's how I call each entry considering both the game and the toys) is the exaggerated focus on everything regarding vehicles.
We've only had another non-character gimmick figure type so far and it wasn't absolutely pushed this much.

I hope this will never repeat, with any future gimmick, no matter how well it will work with the classic gameplay.
Try to not miss the focus of your series next year, Acti: you know, it's in the title...

The game is fun. You'll like it.

I genuinely hope we get a big on foot focus in Sky6.... OPENWORLDPLZ


Also, to continue the memes-

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

I actually like vehicles, and the game isn't entirely focused on figures. But that is just my opinion.

I'm sorry i Didnt know about this website until i looked up supercharger suggestions.

At this point I can imagine Sky6 being somewhat open world with the option to use vehicles in some areas. Then again, TfB may consider changing the formula even a smidge like VV did is the work of the devil.

So, what did I mi-
(Sees the supposed Christmas update)
-yeah ok nevermind.

Well it's nitpicking I know but I wouldn't say Roller Brawl is overused.

You are right, she is the only revamp who has has not been overused to death.
But I did exaggerated the post a bit to empathize certain aspects.

You know... Kinda what they did with vehicles.

I do really like this game and it's characters. The vehicles aren't bad either, but heck they need to stop acting like it's a pure racing game!!
