darkSpyro

This is what I think for each element in Swap Force.

Magic:
In the Magic Element, we already know the S2 and S3, Pop Fizz and Mega Ram Spyro. But what about the remaining unrevealed Swap and Core Skylanders? I think they will both be very unique. Toys For Bob has shown nothing of these two, But I just have a feeling that they will be good characters, just like Star Strike and Hoot Loop. Now, I think the remaining Swap Skylander will have the Spin ability using Magic.

Tech:
The Tech Element has had a very good roster in the past and with the new characters. Now, I also love S2 Sprocket and S3 Trigger Happy, they should be worth buying, by their appearance. I'm not sure if I like the idea of Nitro Magna Charge, but we'll have to wait and see. Now, there is one thing missing: the next Core Skylander. Since Countdown is a bomb, I can only predict that the next Skylander will be a robot. But not just a robot. Since most of the Tech Skylanders have been long ranged, I think this one will be short ranged. Maybe setting mines like Sprocket does. But I really don't know what he/she will have the ability to do.

Earth:
The Earth Element has had a very strong roster. But yet, I just feel funny about Slobber Tooth and Scorp. I think, in my opinion, they won't be as tough as the others. But I could be wrong. I really feel worried about S2 Flashwing. Will she have armor? Better attacks? I don't know anything else Toys For Bob could do with her. And now, the 2 Swap Skylanders that haven't been revealed, I've been overly excited thinking about what they might be. I think what their swap abilities will be Rocket and of course, Dig. Who wouldn't predict the Dig ability for an Earth Swap Skylander? They should really make the digging one with four feet.

Air:
Now Air, their 3 newly revealed Skylanders have been, in my opinion, amazing. I love the concept with them. The S2 and S3 will be Warnado and probably, Sonic Boom. Sonic boom could be called Ultra Wave Sonic Boom. Just an idea. And really, to tell the truth, I really don't have much to say about the Air Element. But, the remaining core character should be interesting. (I hope)

Life:
The Life Element has had some pretty unique Skylanders. But I think in Skylanders Swap Force, they are taking it a little too far. Yes, the new Skylanders look good, but not as much as I was hoping. Ninja Stealth Elf, DARK Ninja Stealth Elf? Too far. Maybe the 4 new ones will be more than I thought, but when I first saw them, I wasn't too pleased, except for Zoo Lou, he looks good. Now, there is one more thing that I ask: We really need S2 Camo, no matter what it takes.

Undead:
The Undead Element has always been good, well, great, but now they are really taking "Undead" too far now. They are taking Vampires too far, mostly. Night Shift and Roller Brawl shouldn't have been Vampires. And for Roller Brawl, pink hair? What? This is Undead, not a Lady Gaga Beauty Pageant. And Rattle Shake, great idea, but, I'm not sure why he's Undead, just like I don't get why Gorilla Drilla is in the Life Element. But Grim Creeper, so far, I like every thing about him. I will thank Toys For Bob a million if they make S2 Ghost Roaster. We need his revolution back in action.

Fire:
Just like the Fire Element has always been, the 3 new characters that were revealed are great. I really am interested in Fire Kraken. I also like Volcanic Eruptor. We needed a variant for Eruptor. And now, the only thing missing right now is one new Core Skylander. I think this Skylander should be the prototype slime Skylander, which I believe they call TarClops, and they should change his name to Smolderdash, which was the revealed Lightcore Character, but no picture was shown. So, TarClops should be him, and instead of having Zap’s moves, he should be a big slime creature with Lava. And for the lightcore version, just make his whole body light up. And I don’t like the idea of S2 Hot Dog, they should have Sunburn instead.

Water:
The Water Element is being taken to a whole new level, which I like. Freeze Blade, Wash Buckler, Riptide, this is a pretty strong team, including S2 Chill and S3 Gill Grunt. My favorite new character of all is Freeze Blade. He is the very first character I want with Swap Force. I have no ideas for the last core character. But, one more thing that I like is S3 Gill Grunt. He looks powerful enough now to take down a Giant.

These are all of my ideas, I just wanted to share them with everybody.

Tech: I don't like the new characters much.

Magic: I love the new characters!

Undead: Rattle Shake is awesome, the others - Meh...

Life: As always, half is awesome!

Water: A much improved element with Freeze Blade, my favorite Swap, Riptide, who's cool, and Buckler. (Not Wash.)

Fire: Much improved with great Swaps! Fryno is a little odd though... Perfect choices for remodels.

Air: POPTHORN/GASTEROID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Other than that - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earth: Not another Terrafin! We need Dino-Rang instead! Cool new characters though!

Remaining Swap Abilites: Magic: Spin, Earth: Stealth, Earth: Dig.

Earth can't be Rocket because Boom Jet is.

I agree with everything except the Tarclops/Smolderdash thing. We already have a lava man, a lava dog, and a kinda lava-ish giant. Do we really need more lava-things!

^ Yeah I was just brainstorming. But yeah, we should have something different.

Cool.

Rattle shake is undead because snakes are usually associated with fear and poison aka 2 darkish themes

Also the lightcore is fryno (looks like a motorcycle Ryno) not smoulderdash
WAIT A MINUTE
We have artwork of Smoulderdash and gameplay

Now, on topic:

Magic: Out of the two that we have, I really am feeling both of them a lot, especially Hoot Loop.

Tech: the only one I'm really feeling is Magna Charge. And I just hate Spy Rise, because he took the spot if the other climbing swapper (you'll find out why when it comes to Undead).

Earth: I'm feeling really good about them, especially Scorp.

Air: When it comes to strengths, I don't really like any besides Free Ranger.

Life: This element is the suckiest element out of them all.

Undead: I like them all besides Rattle Shake because he took the spot of the Undead centaur.

Fire: I like then all, nothing wrong with any of them.

Water: I'm not really feeling Riptide.

Here I aaaaaaaam

Magic: They made an awesome Job with the 2 Skylanders so far. I'm totally stuned by Star Strike.There was never such a good designed charackter besides her, even Thumpback Chill or Sonic Boom had to go one place down in the top 10.
Hoot Loop is also an example for a well done Magic Skylander. The whole owl-hypnotis idea is great and the pun on his name is funny too. His teleportation technique is also better than the one of Night Shift. If the rest of the new ones are fairly as good designed as those two, Magic is going to take the win for Swap Force.
But not only the newlanders are great ,the remodels are a good choise too. For shure I would have wished that Voodood comes back,but he is already pretty strong and murders everything. It was also very clear that Spyro comes back,soooo I don't have a Problem with that.

Tech: I'm pretty excited for Magna Charge. It seems that he is the fastest Skylander existing. He would have been an awesome Lightcore Skylanders . I also like his name which you can Combine to Magna Zone( Pokemon). The Magnet concept was also missing in the Tech element. Overal a nice chareckter.
Lets move on to Spy Rise. I just dont understand the hate for him (I know a lot of you dislike him because he popped your bubble of the Sider Centaur, but I had the idea 2 and I dont complain about that. You all should be happy that they made 1 Charackter with spiderlegs, they could have made another monowhell Skylander). I'm also very curios on his attacks, I'd like too know how he is using his sniper riffle. I also wanted to get another Golding Skylander and YAAAAAAY sorry I had to do this.
Countdown is the only one who bothers me. I dont like him he is just meeeh. I cant expalin, his gameplay isnt really stuning and his design needs a Fine-Tuning.
The remodels are very suprising, actually just Sprocket, they said that Boomer will come back. But oh well, they are both very unpopular so it doesnt matter although I like this Little guy. But it was predictable that Trigger Happy will make it. The Starter Trio will always stay together.
All in one the Tech element is quiet decent this time. I want to have another Close combat Skylanders besides Sprocket in tech.

Earth: No Swapers till now but some awesome Core charackters.
First of Slobber Tooth. He is one of the "out of the Spotlight" charackters. He Looks like a trool-ankylosaurus but a bit too similar like Bash. But his name makes him interesting. I cant say much about him but I'm defentely looking forward for this guy.
Scorp-simple name,explains a lot. A COOL looking scorpion Skylander. A wish of many Skylander fans. He got a gem inside his pinser and one in his other Hand. I can imagine that he stiks them into the pinsir and shoots the out.But I'm afraid that he is weaker than he looks..........I don't know why.
I'm really happy that Terrafin got some new claws. I dont know if he gets a damage boost or a new Combo.
Really disapointed that Flashwing is the new Series 2.I know that she will make an great Lightcore Skylander but Scorp could have been a better one and that would give Dino Rang some space.I really miss the Little dino and his bommerangs but oh well.
Earth is and will stay a tough element with strong,heavy and armored Skylanders which never dissapoint me .

Air:Let's start up with Free Ranger: I really wanted a Tornado-Swaper and got it.Yaay. But his gameplay lacks something. He is getting boring very fast. The Primary attack is plain wierd, I hope that you have to hold the button after pressing it 2 times to unleash the airwave. Because it will get boring very fast after the whole airwaves. But the rest of his attacks are very awseome.I'm very excited for the Ranger part.
Boom Jet is a very creative Charakter. I would have never thought of a Idk-what using a turbine as a hoverboard.I can already see that he is going to be very fast.
Gasteroid is the "cute" Skylander in this series. Looks quiet strange because i can't really say any attacks or imagine some, someone in a Video said that he can suck up air, very similar to Jet-Vac which is quiet dissapointing but I'm okay with that.
For the last Skylander I hope that it isnt a bird again.But mabey something similar to the angels from the game Bayonetta.
The remodels are fine. Really happy that Warnado finally made it, just cant think of 2 more poses besides his S1 figure.He also needed the WOW-POW because he was weak on both paths and he is mabey going to get a bit stronger.
For the S3 one I hope that it is since she was my fave in SSA.
Air was always a solid element with very strong but also with a few weak Skylanders.

Life:Right from the start I want to say that I am very dissapointes with Life. Life was a very awesome element in SSA but went downhill in Giants and now it is very bad. I dont see any great charackters in SSF for Life. The only good one is Stink Bomb.
Stink Bomb is a cool Charakter.Love the concept with the fart-smoke-disapearing. I also missed a Ninja with shurickens. Now that there are 3 Ninjas I recomment to stop making them eventhough I am a Ninja fan and want to have another one with nunchakos.
Grilla Drilla is unique but not based on the Life element.He fits the Tech element more cause of his metalic suit. I'm wondering how he will move, will he crawl on the ground(LOL) or retransform his drill into legs like Free Ranger.Whatsoever, I think that he is going to be a very strong Brawler.
Bumble Blast looks like a Zook ripoff.His pose on his Artwork ,his chin ,the weapon .Not impresed.But I think that he will have a clever fighting technique.
Zoo Lou doesnt even have a Skylander look. He does't seem great designed.I just cant say more about him.
I hope that the comeback of Stealt Elf is her last. She is always strong enough but her new Outfit gives her a real Ninja-look.
For the S2 I think that Camo will make it. He is much more popular then Shroomboom.

Undead:Like alway undead is a set of unique and decent charackters.
Night Shift is a charackter I was alway waiting for. He looks awesome seems pretty strong mabey even broken and a lot of fun. His teleportation abillity isnt as good as Hoot Loop's but the flying bat is a nice adition.
Rattle Shake is a smart looking Skylander. A snake Skylanders was always needed in the world of Skylands. Very excited to find out his attacks and movement. I like him.
Roller Brawl is a Charakter which is just AMAZING. I felt in love when I first saw her on Pictures and after I saw her Gameplay I was totally stuned. I love the Dragon designed armor on her.She looks like a Vampire Version of Chill.Totally getting her on day 1. Can't wait anymore.
Not that Roller Brawl is awesome enough there is another amazing charackter for the undead element called Grim Creeper.A lot of fans wanted a Grim Reaper in Giant and now the Time has come. With his lightneonglowblue ghost form stuck into his epic armor he is ready to slice everything with his well designed scythe. I watched a Video by wdrumz were his ghost attack caused an amazing amount of damage. His animations are an cool Thing too. Love him.
Now for the reposes.
Chop Chop's remodel is quiet mysterious.How will he fight?How will he use his sword?Was it just a Prototyp for fun??Just time will tell. Looking forward to him.
For the S2 I hope that It's Ghost Roaster.Fright Rider is cool too don't get me wrong but I prefer .

Fire:Fire got some nice ones this time around.
Blast Zone is really awesome. Only his appereance is amazing.He looks like a god.But his bombs are kinda out of place. There is already Boomer and Countdown who IS a bomb but Blast Zone?? Oh well I'll have to get used to it.His rocket boots are soooooooooooooo awesome. Just love this move. I dislike the fact that his figure is much biger that Blast Zone in game. Still a unique charackter.
Fire Kraken is really neat. Love the chinese Dragon idea and the Circus fire staf.I can imagine that he thows some smoke bombs or romething with a chinese firework. It was a great idea to let him jump with his tail.The name is a cool pun.
Fryno looks like a Little fiery Brawler. His motorbike is an great idea and love his glowing fists.
I can't say much about Smolderdash. It would be great if it's a she. But it would be cool if Fire stays a guy element.
S2 Hot Dog is a big dissapointment, i was really excited about Sunburn but I'm ok with this then next year.
S3 Eruptor is super awesome.His WOW-POW is gonna be great.
Like you can see,Fire is a burning element with cool Skylanders.Let's hope it stays a "male" element.

Water:Water was my favourite element in Giants Chill an Thumpback stunned me.But not the new ones.
Wash Buckler is a Pirate octopus......cool.Nothing Special. Really cool idea to let him climb with his tentacels.
Freeze Blade is one of my fave Swapers. I'm a sucker for the Ice element which explains my love to Chill and Slam Bam.
Although he is a Speed swaper he doesn't seem very fast.Whatsoever, his chakra attackt are something different and his ice -laser is really cool(hehe got it?).
Riptide isnt really may favourite Skylanders but he got a lot of potential, I know it. Sort of cool how he uses other fish to attack and battle.
S2 Chill is a repose I can die for. Her new armor makes her look EVEN better.Cant wait to get my Hands on her.
S3 Gill Grunt was another predictable Skylanders. Like I said, the Trio will always stay together.
Water is a element wich always got suprises. Cant wait for the last one to be revealed.


Sorry that it's that much. But you know I'M BOREEEEED

My Predictions and Thoughts: Repose purchases go down 35%, but gets made up by the fact that we have 32 new characters. Unfortunately, with only 12 levels of content...many will be rethinking the need to buy most of them because the thrill will be gone LONG before Activision decides to release the rest of the figures.

I'll be watching their quarter report with great interest after SF goes live.

Some favorites from the new characters

Water: Wash buckler
Fire: Fryno
Earth: Scorp
Air: Gasteroid aka Pop thorn
Life: Stink Bomb
Magic: Starstrike
Tech: Magne charge and Nitro Magne charge
undead: Rattle shake

Quote: GhostRoaster
