Post your favorite new core for each element

Life: Bumble Blast
Undead: Grim Creeper
Tech: Wind up
Magic: Dune bug
Fire: Fryno
Water: Tie
Earth: Scorp
Air: Popthorn

water: punk shock. reminds me of slattern from pacific rim
tech: countdown. better than wind-upchuck.
earth: slobber tooth! beautiful thing! and it comes in dark
magic: dune bug. beautiful metallic green beetle i can scare my sister with.
fire: smolderdash. she's a balrog! she can SUMMON THE SUN!
undead: grim creeper. one touch, you're screwed
life: zoo lou. he summons a pig. pigs=logic.
air: POPTHORN. my favorite core. POPTHORN IS AMAZING. and cute.

Life: Bumble Blast, that honey tounge is weird
Undead: Roller Brawl (my favorite new core by quite a bit)
Tech: Count Down
Magic: Star Strike
Fire: Fryno (hearing that he gets new patches as he levels up made me way more excited than that announcment should)
Water: Punk Shock (haven't seen any gameplay of either so purely based on looks)
Earth: Scorp (Slobber Tooth is oogly to me)
Air: Probably Scratch, but I want to see gameplay before I make a final desicion

Magic: Star Strike (Fav of all new Swap Force characters)
Tech: Countdown (Tough call, they're both meh)
Water: Punk Shock (See Tech)
Fire: Smolderdash (Really cool and definatly better than Frynope)
Life: They're both eww looking. Neither.
Undead: Grim Creeper (Though both are awesome)
Earth: (See Life)
Air: Scratch (See Tech)

Magic: Dune Bug he's a bug, reminds me so much of Voodood and after all hail to the beetle mage! Also he might have a metallic paint job which will look so boss on him.
Undead: Grim Creeper spirit with a scythe enough said and such a cool looking Skylander. No. 1 favorite over here!
Tech: Wind Up at first I would say Countdown, but I feel Wind Up will have a very unique and versatile gameplay and is loaded with potential.
Life: Bumble Blast may seem like a bumbling Zook clone, but I like Zook and I like how this one turned out. I mean I called him Bumble Blaster before his name was confirmed and love how I almost got his name right.
Water: Punk Shock what can I say I like eels and she looks very cool. I just hope she plays better than unfortunate Flameslinger.
Fire: Fryno I don't really like fire Skylanders, but this one has something I like. Guess it's just that I like bikers and his punk look is pretty awesome.
Air: Pop Thorn now Scratch is cool, but I see this guy as a new potential never judge a bokk by it's cover type of character and his gameplay definitely makes him look like he will shine in anyone's collection.
Earth: Slobber Tooth is cool and I will probably like him way more than Bash. Plus he's green and I like green.

Smolderdash beats everyone.
Now that her powers have been confirmed:
Quote:

Smolderdash has some cool attacks in which she can use fire whips and pull down the sun from above, smashing it into the ground and damaging all enemies nearby. She also has an eclipse mode that turns her and the sun spheres she shoots out dark.

1. Yep Zoo Loo is definitely the face of the light element now (Stealth elf a close second)
2. Roller brawl is indeed awesome expecially since she looks vampirish
3. I think she is a fish person like gill grunt
4. yes yes and yes
5. I have to admit she is pretty cool but remember she has some tough competition in popthorn
6. Yep and I cant wait to see his gameplay. His gameplay could change my answer
7. So did I. But I never saw as why he would be air of the nopic4 (Old name of them) so I went with the most logical answer. Wind Up forever!!!!
8. Starstrike almost made my favorite but Dune Bug seems like the boomer of this gen. Since not many like him that much

Tech: Countdown
Magic: Star Strike
Undead: Roller Brawl
Life: Zoo Lou
Water: Punk Shock
Fire: Smolderdash (Fryno is good though)
Air: Popthorn (Maybe, Scratch and him are both AMAZING)

life: Zou Lou by far, i love spamming birds and wolves
undead: Grim Creeper, he's awesum!
water: Punk Shock looks nice, but i cant realy tell
fire: Fryno looks best out of the two, but fire sux this time
magick: Star Strike looks strong, and i like the details on her eyes
tech: Win-Up looks better then stupid bomb-umb
air: Scratch AND Pop-Thorn look amazing, i love them both so its a tie
earth: Scorp looks beast in my opinion

Air: Pop Thorn (since it was recently announced that he is a dragon, he's now in second place on my most wanted list. First is Fire Kraken. I like Scratch too.)
Earth: Slobber Tooth (he has an unusual design and his gameplay looks fun)
Magic: Star Strike (I like her design but want to see her upgrade paths first before she is a definite buy)
Life: Zoo Lou (I'm not sure if I'll buy him but his gameplay looks unique)
Water: Punk Shock (Another unsure about character but she has a cool design)
I'm not interested with any of the characters from the other elements.
