I did some digging around and found these listings on Walmart, from their price points I'd say that Spotlight and Blackout are core Skylanders while Knight Light and Knight Mare are Trap Masters.
And Blackout is going to be in a triple pack of Blackout/Fling Kong/Pop Fizz so there's that too. (I also found a few other future triple packs of High Five/Trail Blazer/Jet-Vac, Cobra Cadabra/Bat Spin/Fryno, Deja Vu/Rocky Roll/Echo but that's a bit off topic )

I am wondering how light and dark traps would work. I get how the light traps would be white but what color would the dark traps be? Kaos's trap is already black and the undead trap is already gray. I am just wondering how they are going to distinguish the dark traps from the other traps besides having a different symbol.

So it appears that Knight Mare is the centaur mentioned in the OP. And judging by the name, they're female. Otherwise, that's a rather unfortunate name even if it is a pun.

Spotlight and Blackout are new core Skylanders since they cost $9.96 at Walmart. Knight Mare and Knight Light are new Trap Masters, which is why they each cost $14.96. Regardless, I intend to get all four of them.

If there are dark/light villains, then there would be traps for them. As for the gates, it's assumed so since the unknown element gate was shown in one video. Perhaps when a dark or light character is added to the Skylander list, it might transform those all from unknown gates to dark or light gates.

I think the gates in the actual game will always display as Dark/Light. The element was probably only changed to "unknown" for the demo because for some reason they think it's still a good idea to keep secrets from us, all for the sake of a "surprise"...

Yeah, currently they're the same color as the Undead Traps (though probably the Traptanium Undead gates are white or something) - not dark purple enough for Dark and far from Light's bright yellow.

Don't think so. In the 3DS version we have both a screen with two "?" in the Element section, and one with the two symbols for Dark and Light. The gates will probably reveal their true Element ONLY when a Core or a Trap Master of those ones is added to the collection. Moreover, why would they reveal the gates in-game, if the poster that comes with the Starter Pack still has question marks characters...?

I, honestly, dislike the speculation that there wouldn't be a light villain (apologies if that seemed rude to you guys). The reason for that is, light is not necissarily a good thing. The human mind views it as such because we can see in light, making it far easier to protect ourselves if need be. Also, light can be used for nefarious purposes. Lazers are beams of light, used to burn and cut things, and though we're not at the point of having access to lazer guns (well, at least not the general populace), you can probably see the possibility of misuse there.

it depends on how they are defining the term "Light". From a scientific perspective, yes "light" is neither good or evil, but it is fairly common for the Light/Dark dichotomy to represent Good/Evil, Angels/Demons etc in video games, there is a difference between the "light" that a street lamp or torch goes off, and the "Light" element that the characters belong to. The picture of the prototype angelic looking character that many are assuming is the Light Trap Master looks like they are subscribing to the "Light=Good/Angelic" definition, rather than the scientific "Light as electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye" definition.

After all, let's not forget that there will be Dark Skylanders, and they should be heroes.
So maybe a Light Doom Raider isn't so unlikely.

There are plenty of good guys pretending to be bad and vice versa in things like books, movies, and video games. Plenty of characters that have switched allegiances, as well. Not to mention the fact that good and bad are relative terms, so there are varying degrees of good and evil, with most people/characters falling somewhere near the middle.

You are correct, they show up in-game as a big question-mark gate, and the narrator gets an extra line of dialogue to introduce them, "This is a gate for an unknown element." Same for unknown villians. I guess they won't become their particular type until I put the appropriate trap on. Kind of a shame, makes the game look like a demo or something in those areas unless you've bought light and dark 'landers and traps (going to grab them all anyway though, they look awesome).

The game is already a "demo" with the Life and Magic areas not accessible at launch. You should wait until all figures are available to buy the game I guess instead of enjoying it right now like the rest of people.
More than 80% of the game is accessible so this can't really be called a demo.

Let's think.
100% of villain areas are open Approx. 83% villains are capturable 60% of elemental gate are openable 100% of Traptainium is shatterable. So the game is Approx. 85.75% accessable on day 1.

The two "core" figures seem to be pointless since only Trap Masters can open gates in this game, and the primary reason to get these special element characters would be to open the special mystery gates (after all there's no zones they'd be stronger in and no PvP, thus no other advantage to their special element besides Gate opening).
Why even offer non-Trap Master light and dark figures if they can't do anything special at all? Or do you think the Mystery Gates will be an exception and allow the Core Light and Dark characters to open them even though they aren't Trap Masters? Quote: ninja9351
Wait, sorry I missed something, why aren't 100% of villians capturable at launch? What's missing? |

only as pointless as a 2nd trap master of an element is or any of the regular cores and minis, or having a 2nd, 3rd and 4th character of an element in past games.
no, there is no "purpose" to the new element cores, apart from having a new figures to have and display, a new characters to play. it is possible that there will be zones that they are stronger in behind their elemental gates or in the 2 adventure packs.
