^ That is Skylanders Giants poster if I see?

Yep, it is.

Yes, it is. As for the Giants, it was mentioned that they will be able to open special chests. Maybe they will be also able to push those blocks.

Maybe there will be a display mock-up

Tree Rex?

They said earlier Giants would have an advantage. Maybe they can do stuff with those blocks?

cool, great find!

Again, people going to Gamescon forget to ask crucial questions to the Swap Force devs.

Not one person thought to ask if Skylanders will get Speed, Armor, Critical Hit, and Elemental Power upgrades, and specifically how, if Heroics aren't back.

In place of Heroic Challenges we now have Bonus Missions that will help you upgrade.

We assume that's how we upgrade.

But if Skylanders from SSA and Giants can upgrade on 45 and 50 Heroics, how are Swap Force Skylanders going to match the stats of those characters on 20?

There would literally need to be 5 Speed, 5 Armor, 5 Elemental Power, and 5 Critical Hit bonus missions, and each would need to give enough that the stats of Swap Force characters, core, Lightcore, and Swaplanders, would match the stats of all SSA, Giants, S2 and S3 Skylanders will get after they do the 20 new bonus missions.

It wouldn't make sense to gimp new characters, because they only have access to 20 missions, while every Skylander from the prior two games, plus the new Series 2, 3, and old school new Lightcores (ie Warnado and Flashwing) has access to 65-70 Heroics/Bonus Missions.

This is why I'm actually hoping that those bonus Missions aren't the only way. The only way I could see 20 working, is if there were 5 Speed, Armor, Critical Hit, and Elemental Power Bonus Missions, and each gave +10, +12, or +15 to those 4 stats, so new Skylanders can compete with old Skylanders.

I wonder if my Knight Helm on all my figures will show up on Swap Force...

Yes it carries over

Soooooooo...any news on the faceless four yet?

My fear is that the stat upgrades from the HCs aren't recognized in SSF. Like you I'm very curious as to how they'll reconcile the stats, all that work upgrading characters in SG better not be for naught.

Yeah, I will be super ****** if all my work in doing 50 Heroics for all of my SSA/S2 Skylanders and 45 Heroics for the Giants and Newlanders from Giants was for nothing. It better not be the case.

That takes a lot of work, and for it to mean nothing.... oh...... boy.

^ There are no heroics anymore, just "Bonus Challenges"

^*grabs piano* Dun Dun DUNNNNNNNNN!

Yeah, I know. The point is, if my Skylanders who have done Heroics, are all nerfed to the point it's as though I didn't do any Heroics, then I am going to be ******, and probably won't trust upgrading my Skylanders anymore, which will make them just as dumb as Infinity figures.

Infinity is not a rubbish game i love skylanders andi actually think disney infinity is awesome

I made all of my figures Gold rank, and I will be SERIOUSLY angry at VV if they don't' bring back the ranking system.

This.
It would be funny if Magna Charge's quest was called "How do they work?"

HOOT LOOP VS WIZARD MICKEY

DI comparisons aside, I have a theory. Name a new character who's figure we have seen before and we know of their gameplay. That is right, almost everyone now EXCEPT the Faceless 4, and the reposes. So my theory is that we will see 2 of the 4 and 2 of the reposes at gamestop expo.

Quote: hardcoreignitor

And Wash Buckler's Quest should be called "Davy Jones Jr" Cause he resembles Davy Jones i the Pirates of the Carribean. Well, that is a Disney thing, so here are the ultimate DI VS SSF matches:
SLAM BAM VS SULLEY!
WASH BUCKLER VS DAVY JONES!
and I cant think o anythng else.

...Davy Jones is actually a part of mythology, not just from the Pirates movies.

i mean the Disney Interpretation of him.

Well, there's a few random gameplay videos on YouTube like these:



You can see the Tree Rex block in the second vid.

nooo...

Quote: Swap Force Fan

I think Disney Infinity is overrated.

Hahahahahahahaha how? ._.

Quote: Sleepy0429

^he can't do that.

Of course he can! My theory is that Spyro from Skylanders is the same one from the originals. I am sure you are thinking that it cannot be true because of the different spyro looks, but I believe that he just gets older. So imagine him calling all his friends from the originals like Hunter and Sgt Byrd, Dudes from the Legend series, Crash Bandicoot amd friends (Look up Spyro Orange) and all the skylanders. Thats about 150 characters right there to beat up a dissapearing lizard. And But and alone could tag team him, but that us another story.

There are probably more. If you mean with Nitro Magna Charge, then I don't know, but I guess so non-3DS owners can get Free Ranger and Rattle Shake. Actually, that's pretty kind on Activision's part, throwing in the 3DS starter swappers with a variant.

are free ranger and rattle shake have their own single packs?

Yes. Look at the Home page, and scroll down. It shows all of the "supposed" Wave 1 figures.

Actually, click the View News Archive, it's there.

Part of my plan to own Swap Force involves getting the double pack that only includes Nitro Magna Charge and Rattle Shake while getting the Legendary Free Ranger. I usually prefer Skylanders of different colors, especially Legendaries and Dark ones. However, I choose only the ones I like even more, such as Dark Spyro, Legendary Slam Bam, and Polar Whirlwind. Depending on how they do within the games and judging by their appearances.

Is it the news title that reveals the legendaries?

C'mon, show the character poster already!

Ahem, sorry. I get a little excited when something big is about to happen soon, but I don't know when.

Enough with the character poster charade, legendary. We get it, you want the poster to be shown asap, but they're not going to show it until it is time to. And continuing to demand for the poster won't let them post it any faster.

The only more rational thing to do is simply be patient. We can at least keep our minds occupied with something unrelated to Skylanders: Swap Force.

If you don't want to be around those videos, here's some Rattle Shake Gameplay from FGTV but IT'S NOT NEW GAMEPLAY.

All the s2 or s3 will always start as a regular one.. Until you fully upgrade it, then it will show its upgraded form..

Hmph.. Countdown can summon mini-bombs.

I'm gonna name him King Bob-omb now.

mario?

Oh, thanks! Didn't knew that, since I don't own any S2 character. So, S2 Eruptor doesn't start with all those spikes on his head?

Nope. He gains them with the Lava Barf Wow Pow. He looks really strange with them.

Yeah, I agree with you. He looks a lot like those lava monsters in the Molekin Mine in SSA.
Back on topic, are there any chances to see at least one of the Faceless Four, at Gamescom? I mean, have they ever revealed some new characters there?

Talking about the Faceless Four, how do we even know their names?

we knew them thanks to walmart

I think they were leaked during a massive leak (wich also revealed the toy form of a lot of already known Skylanders), but I'm not sure of it.

So Matteo you gotten those figures yet?

walmart leaked most of the names for s2/s3 and all the names for the cores
with was a day after the reveal of all the swaplanders

What I'm wondering is how are they going to make LC Wham Shell? Other than the obvious "His mace will light up, duh!" response, please tell me how are they going to make you able to see it lighting up?

Maybe by making it opaque gold, with a yellow light inside?

When and how was Countdown confirmed as a lightcore figure? Is it possible we got one wrong?
