*image removed as it was hurting eyes, and dark has posted a better image below

Where did this come from?

Edit: Sorry for the blurry image, I think it's enchanted star strike.

Dark put it on the Swap Force page.

Ah, blurry image!

Looks like an alter ego of Star Strike.

Hey, have you seen Trap Shadow, Dune Bug, Rubble Rouser, Doom Stone, Spy Rise's Backstories

Trap Shadow
Once part of an elite tribe of hunters in a remote area of Skylands, Trap Shadow used his cat-like cunning, ingenious traps and mystical stealth abilities to catch nearly everything that could be caught. As a result, his fame around Skylands grew so much that it attracted the attention of an evil cadre of wizards. They plotted to capture Trap Shadow and use his abilities to ensnare the most uncatchable thing of all - Master Eon himself. But Trap Shadow could sense them coming from miles away. Outsmarted and outmaneuvered, each of the wizards was easily captured by Trap Shadow's bewildering array of traps and snares until they were all locked away for good. Having saved Master Eon, he quickly made Trap Shadow a Skylander.
Dune Bug
Hailing from a race of beetles changed by the powerful secrets hidden in a buried Arkeyan city, Dune Bug was next in line to become the defender of those secrets. As a small pupa, Dune Bug and his father would travel to the ruins where he learned to read the ancient writings using his father's magic staff. On the day Dune Bug was to be given his own magic staff, the city fell under attack by the evil Sand Mages of Doom, who were after the secret Arkeyan tomes. Knowing what he had to do, Dune Bug used his magic to defeat the Mages and bury the city deeper into the ground until it was forever out of their reach. Dune Bug earned his magic staff that day - and a place alongside the Skylanders.
Rubble Rouser
Hailing from a race of creatures who ate rock for a living, Rubble Rouser spent most days digging his way through the vastness of Deep Mountain mouthful by mouthful alongside the rest of his people. But Rubble Rouser found he could eat up far more ground with a swing of his hammer or spin of his drill. However, the leaders of his race wanted no part of changing the way they worked. That is, until the evil Rock Lords trapped them deep within the mountain. It was then that Rubble Rouser showed everyone the power of his ways by defeating the Rock Lords with his mighty hammer and drill. Afterward, the leaders encouraged Rubble Rouser to seek out the Skylanders, who readily welcomed him.
Doom Stone
Doom Stone was carved from the strongest and purest stone in Skylands, then magically brought to life by a wizard who was rather lazy and wanted someone strong to carry heavy things and perform other tasks around his castle. Doom Stone happily helped, and in his spare time learned the ancient ways of Stone Fighting should he ever need to protect the wizard, who became like a father to him. Sure enough the need arose when the wizard was kidnapped by his evil twin brother in order to steal his spells for himself. Doom Stone wasted no time in using the skills he learned to save his master. Afterward, the wizard knew Doom Stone had a greater calling and introduced him to Master Eon, who made him a Skylander.
Spy Rise
From the moment he could crawl, Spy Rise wanted nothing more than to join his father in the family business as a private investigator. But after being hired by a shadowy figure to gather information on the Cloudbreak Islands, his father vanished, leaving Spy Rise alone to search for answers. He scoured the land for clues, using his immense skill in reconnaissance to track down his missing father, but all roads came up empty. Then one day, he received a tip from none other than Master Eon, which led him to a hidden lair near Mt. Cloudbreak, where he not only found his long lost father, but also uncovered an evil plot to take control of the magical volcano during the next eruption ceremony. With his father safe, Spy Rise decided to pursue a new career -- as a member of the Skylanders.

I wonder where they found that pic of Enchanted Star Strike o.o

When I first saw that image, I was like "WHOAH!"

Where did dark find that image?

Is is just me or does enchanted Star Strike look better than regular?

Let's all get back on topic without idle chatter.

I do, frequently, when I need to edit something I just said.
I just didn't here recently ... because I wasn't editing a previous statement; I was making a new, different one.

Thanks for the unnecessary advice.

According to the Swap Force page, that is indeed an Enchanted version of SS. Which, in this case, looks awesome.

Well dark52 obviously got the info from someplace. Can't base info from only just a fan community you know?

Enchanted Star Strike? Proof please & no BS color-edited photos...

Yeah, but he never made an article about it or anything. It just popped up one day and dark labelled it as Enchanted Star Strike. Which I will say looks leagues better than Enchanted Hoot Loop. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if she had a different name, like "Desert Star Strike" or something along those lines. Hmm....

Such pretty pictures

Great. Thanks for even more unnecessary advice. Pile it on.

Listen, I've been posting on forums probably longer than many users here have been out of diapers. I realize that spamming is bad ... but what I've done in the last couple of pages in this thread is not spam. I'm sorry, but if there are 4 or 5 different conversations or topics being discussed simultaneously in the same thread (which is stupid, but is also apparently how the moderator staff feels this sub-forum should be handled) then it's perfectly appropriate to address each topic in a different post. If I waited an hour between each post, would that really make it any different?

I'm done addressing this.

I strongly recommend that the moderator staff here takes posts #3 through #6871 of this thread, and archive it. Leave the first two posts of this thread up as a sticky and lock it, so that Bionicle can amend/update it as needed. Then, other new SwapForce news and discussion can take place in threads that are dedicated to each aspect/topic/character/rumor/whatever. Seriously, trying to contain everything into one massive thread is a futile endeavor, and at this point this thread has become an Undead Thread which no longer serves its original purpose and its now mainly just a tinderbox for flaming and confrontation.

They probably called her Enchanted Star Strike because the Enchanted variants change colour in the sunlight.

That, sir, is the best name for Enchanted Star Strike and Enchanted Hoot Loop I've ever heard. *claps*

No seriously man, that name just sounds perfect to me.

Cosmic Star Strike? Sound good to me! (Lunar Star Strike works too!)

I'm still so disappointed that they lumped 3DS Starter Pack duplicates in with Nitro. Couldn't they have put ANYTHING else in with him? Sheesh.

Are they wave 1 or not?

Granite Crusher was, so probably.

Enchanted Hoot Loop is back up and able to be pre-ordered. Well, it was back up before but it was showing up as $99.99 all yesterday. The shipping seems to be free, not sure why but I wasn't going to complain.

No kidding, right? Really bone-headed move by Activision to package the Nitro Magna Charge with either Free Ranger or Rattle Shake ... when those are the exact same two figurines that come with the 3Ds starter pack. All this means is that the secondary market will flood with Free Rangers and Rattle Shakes from October straight through to at least January, and it also means that single packs of Free Ranger and Rattle Shake will become shelf-warmers for an extended period of time. There might be some hidden strategy in that, I guess ... but if so, I don't see it.

Yeah! I wasn't expecting free shipping on my pre-order either, but it was indeed free shipping, which rocks. I suppose the folks that keep their Skylanders "in the box" for display purposes should be very wary of this offer, because Wal-Mart.com doesn't usually use great packaging. But if you plan on opening your Enchanted Hoot Loop, then definitely take advantage of this free shipping pre-order gig.

Doesn't the 3ds have the lowest sales from the 2 previous releases? I personally am excited for these two packs as I have no intention of purchasing the 3ds pack, which allows me to get the Nitro Magna Charge-Rattle Shake two pack and keep an eye out for legendary Free Ranger. As much as I'd like to get the original dark Spyro and Punch Pop Fizz, I've never wanted them enough to purchase the 3ds packs they came in. Here's to hoping they'll be on the shelves day 1!

It probably does have the lowest sales figures, but the games are entirely different than the home console ones. I've always wished they gave the 3DS games different titles because of this fact. While I think the 3DS S:SA game was basically trash, but 3DS S:G was playable/decent. I'm hoping the 3DS Swap Force will be another step in the right direction for the handheld series.

The 3ds version is pretty good this year.

^ How do you know?? You havent even played it.

Because I'm in the credits.

Uh.... huh. Someone pretending to be one of the staff who made the game?

Hmm. Yeah, because your username is BigN, You have uour name in the credits for 3DS. I get it. Unfunny, but I get it

It's just a total bone headed decision if you ask me, since we'll probably be getting one of the 2 packs, it makes me LESS likely to get the 3DS starter pack. Genius strategy there guys, let's try and make people less likely to buy the starter that already had the lowest numbers.

My name isn't a Nintendo reference, and I can understand your skepticism. That's fine.

But I really do believe you will be happy with 3DS Swap Force.

So should I get the double or just regular Magna day 1?

Question for you (I'm not as skeptical as some other users), is Swap Force on 3DS timed like the first 3DS game? I really hated that. I like relaxed game play that is objective based not time based. I missed Giants on 3DS so I don't know if it was changed there or not. Thanks in advance.

There are timed challenges you can choose to attempt after completing each level (as there were in Giants), but the game itself is not timed. You can spend an hour going through a level if you want.

I've already preordered a 3ds version... And I don't even have a 3ds!

Excellent. I don't mind timed challenges and frankly that's part of the challenge itself. I just like exploratory game play over frantic "get to the end" game play. Thanks.

BOOM!

EDIT:

i found it on gamestop IT.

release is november 1st
