That last pic of the vehicles does state that they are "Skylanders Ranger Vehicles"...

SO MUCH MYSTERY

I bet the little guy will stick to the backs of the bigger guys like swap force and will be swappable like backpacks.

Dont know about Twitter, but the Skylanders Facebook Page often describes reposes as "never seen before brand new amazing characters".
And I am not exaggerating.
That Skylander is too much similar to Trigs, to be someone else. Another imp with guns would mean an incredible lack of creativity by TfB designers.
As for Ranger... I hope so.

I'd be disappointed to hear if the Trigger Happy look-alike is just a repose and not a totally new character. I love him, but I'm tired of reposes. Even if it was a new character, it seems too similar to Trigger Happy to be original. We're only judging by a silhouette though, maybe when we get some more info tomorrow we'll actually see how the character's like.

Oh yeah, and the guy on the right is totally the ranger. I can't wait for tomorrow

His name is not ranger dear. That's a character type. 'Member how there are Ranger Vehicles?

I am aware of that... everyone was just referring to the guy as a "ranger" when he leaked so I did.

I'm not saying that we need Skylanders to become any more like Pokémon, but it is possible that these new characters could all be evolutions of old ones... Maybe the first three could be evolutions of Hex, Drobot, and... Terrafin? In the Facebook post, the one on the left looks like a TH evolution to me(PLEASE give me a TH that shoots Tranquilizer Darts. I'm going off of the hat shaped head and weird guns), and the one on the right(which we have presumably seen) could be some sort of a Zap or Gill Grunt evolution. Throughout various K'Nex leaks I have seen possible evos for Bash, Swarm, Chop Chop, and Ignitor. Now since evolution implies somewhat of an updated form, maybe we could see more mutation-based characters? I don't know, it's just a thought.

remember that kaos mother was trapped at the end of swap force - maybe theres something in that.....

or maybe its not 'trap' team, but meant to be 'tag' team. like megadozer says above, maybe they can piggyback each other; it was afterall shown in a promotional video for swapforce.
I for one would like if I didnt have to keep getting up to swap characters on the portal !

the next evolution definately needs a new gimmick, not just playstyles like turning it into a 4-player game, or simply making the characters movable, or talk or whatever

keep in mind that they cant have smallish choke hazards, and they cant overcomplicate this too far into the rpg realms.

Its a shame they didnt create a game that revovled around light cores when they first worked it out, so itll be interesting what they do next

Everyone can be diverted on the toy freak show...I'm concentrating my laser focus on the game itself.

What do you mean by that?

For ghostroaster, it's more about the gameplay than the gimmick.

You got it.

Think about it like this---you're at the County Fair...and on the outside you see these outlandish claims that you can see a four eyed four foot freak of nature, a women that stands at nine feet tall, etc. and when you finally go inside you realize that what they've sold versus what you got was largely mis-stated. Not saying they are doing that here, just simply that the toys are the marketing diversion....I want to know what they've actually given us. I still remember just days before the launch of Swap Force and no one could give us even sparse details on gameplay (in my case the upgrading process, heroics etc). I hope it's different this time around. Of course I expect NONE of those details tomorrow just simply that I have my eyes on the prize.

I hope and expect between the people at Activision's beck and call and taking some lessons learned from the last game that they nip these in due course...I'll largely stay silent on this until Sep timeframe...hopefully they'll let us know by then.

I like the tag team piggy back idea it would be really cool and maybe they would be magnetic.

The new leaked one is Trigger Happy i guess

Does nobody except me notice that next to the chop chop looking big sword guy there is a little character falling off the building. His spiky head matches perfectly to the hair style of the smaller silhouette character.

Wait, you mean in the Megabloks pic?

Yeah the mega bloks pic. There is a little pointy hair character falling from the building next to the undead guy. His hair matches perfectly the way the silhouette character has his hair. I've never seen this enemy before. However I've not completed swap force yet. So it may just be that i've not came across him.

He's not an enemy, at least not in Swap Force.

Since this hasn't been posted here already:

Keep in mind that they made a promise to make the Swap Force portal work moving forward...I hope they don't pull another switchero on us.

Maybe you put the Swap Force Portal in that thing?

...new giants? wow

And it looks like the figure base will be pink/purple

I read that the bases will be red or yellow, this time around

Is that a translucent red animal trap hanging from the Lion's right (our left) arm in the picture?


Also, looking at the big guy with the hammer in the lower right...Is that a yellow trap/hook similar to the red one on his right (our left) arm as well?

Can't they just hurry up and release the trailer and the rest? its allready 20:16 here...

Too bad :/

Shhhh!!!

I can't wait for this game to come out

WHAT??? So many things they're tweeting and not explaining

A..skull? But the Magic logo?

It appears to be the purple thing in this here image. And looking at the brand-spanking new Portal, it appears to have a position for these things to sit above that "trap door" looking thing.

Fish/Eel-like "Ranger" (Magic)
Scorpion with a Hammer (Earth)
Zook/Pop Fizz Hybrid (Life)
Robotic Helicopter Dog Thing (Tech)
Lion Phoenix thing (Fire)
Series 2 Voodood or Scorp?

I think you're on to something...Still trying to figure out what the trap things are on the arms of the lion and the big hammer guy.

Mmmh... Looking again at the first picture, there seems to be a... Life hammer, next to the Magic skull pickaxe. Maybe they are new type of battle items... And the old ones have to be placed on the Portal to work... Because the new ones are different...
Wow. My hype is growing every second that passes.
Not only new characters, but also... Those strange new things and that weird Portal trap...

Now we only need some gameplay and A LOT of proper explanations.

It must have gotten removed.

Edit: Found it.

Really? Its still there for me, maybe you need to scroll down a bit, They've tweeted loads in the last 30 minutes.

I believe the event in the UK happened already, and the one in Munich is going on as well right now.
In NY, I think it's just all pre-show stuff; handing out the Doom Stones, etc. I think any sort of actual talking about it won't be until later on tonight, at 7pm EST

There are embargoes for these sorts of things. This one is 7pm EST. Expect a deluge of goodies at that time from many different sources.

Sounds about right. There was also an event in Monaco.

They really are hyping this up so much. But hey, new music from the sounds of things... Unless I'm mistaken.
