It's ALSO for Skylanders Universe, but I have no idea what's the list even for and I assumed it was the E3 lineup. I mean, SMT x FE being there made me think that's how the areas would be organized or something.

Interestingly there is no wii version, maybe this is pointing towards an online game?
Furthermore, the 'E3' in front of the product name is interesting - maybe Activision will have a section in Sony/ Microsoft/ Nintendo's presentation where they show off a bit of the game and they just come out and say "Pre-orders are now available!".

Why would they do it during a presentation of another company. Activision could just do their own thing right? Or is it confirmed they won't be at E3?

Notoriety, showing it off in another press conference is just basically like free advertising.

Remeber this is the same company that completly boycotted the 2014 Toy Fair, only to spend a small fortune on a massive reveal event in Times Square. I see where it could be financially beneficial, but it just seems below Activision to do such a thing.

They still used to be featured in a lot of the small trailers that the companies have for the year's lineup, even if just a few seconds.And hardly any new footage.

That is 7 whole exhibits.

Can someone lend me a hand deciphering the chart?

What if SKU is an abbreviation? SSA, SG, SSF, STT, SKU?

Skylanders: Kaos Ultimatum?

But it was Apple related...

Its just the description of the number to the left. Means place holder sku number for an item without a description.

No,no,no,no. SKU is the number on a barcode. All items have SKUs. Dummy, means placeholder in this instance. Many companies use placeholder SKUs like this, not just Apple or Acti.

Barcode is UPC, thats the translation of the bars. SKU is what connects the barcode and item in the system. Just to make it clear if you were confused.

For those wondering; Dummy text is text that is used in the publishing industry or by web designers to occupy the space which will later be filled with 'official' content. This is required when, for example, the final text is not yet available/to be announced.

I'm getting really tired of no announcement.... Just show us the darn game already!
THE HYPE IS KILLING ME

P.S. Is it sacrilege to like Rufus as a character? I liked the SF NPCs. They were cool in their own way... Not as good as Giants but still.

I like him as a character actually.
But I HATE him as an NPC.

I'm starting to think (hope) that with all these recent "leaks", such as the new Fire character and the console lists we might see something official relatively soon.

It's about time they removed wii versions. They don't even make games for it anymore.

I have additional pictures of the myster figure I dug up online. After I make a video about them, which should be in a few hours, I will post them, so that I can be the first to showcase the images.

Why not post them now if you have them? Being first shouldn't matter.

Besides, multiple pictures of him surfaced on Facebook; holding them back and advertising your videos is just annoying.

He/She might want to get more viewers for there channel but I agree they should be posted now.

But that's what irritating, most only care about is views, views, views. Instead of simply just posting the new content, they go and make a video with their commentary over the content they found and post it here instead of just the images. Basically it is like advertising.

Yeah thats the sad part maybe they have a suprise in store though

I wouldn't count on it. It's the same mystery figure, but in different angles.

No I meant the pics not the vid. I'm not going to advertise it. I just want channel exclusivity for like an hour or so. Is that so wrong?

Edit: Just found out I'll be getting home later than I thought. May as well let you guys see it now.

Here they are.

The new photos are 'interesting'....
The image of the back seems cooler than the before.

Interesting.

This lighting show that the color isn't black like we thought before but more like a metallic/chrome gray.

Maybe that's the basic color of the mechanical parts and the rest will have a different paint.
But I think the wings will be made from a different material and will be transparent in the final version.

They're good pictures.

From the pictures I saw (from the owner of the figures himself), it isn't metallic at all. It's matte black, which looks reflective in bright light. I even confirmed it with him.

Hm, he's almost kind of blue... Oh man, if Clawbellows is the first step to make Fire characters varied with different flame colors it'd be awesome.

I love red/orange/yellow fire but would really like to see some green/blue/purple flames now and then.

Imagine a star Skylander burning with light blue almost white flames.
Majestic. *-*

That'd be just amazing,but being VV I'll accept baby steps. Red/orange flames are just too bland for so many characters, have them be bright blue like gas oven flames or with ghostly green flames(since we already had Undead that aren't of the Undead element exclusively,like Smoltergeist) would already make a big change.

Why does everyone hate VV so much? SSF was the best game of the series in my opinion.

Most people love VV and SF. Bifrost just has a huge hate for it.

That's exactly the point,opinion.
Also Smolderdash is by far the best looking character from SF to me so it'd not exactly bias towards that. The problem with fire characters looking bland isn't exclusive to them, it's because for four games we had the same effects over and over.

Post a comment on the STT page and ask. There'll be an overwhelmingly large amount of people who hate it compared to the amount of people who like it.

I can dislike SF all I want and some people can dislike Giants for being an expansion pack all they want,but no game is currently as controversial as TT.

Back on topic, I don't remember looking at any other Fire skylander prototypes,but are the flames supposed to look this transluscent? The colors are pretty solid in the final figures.
He's also got the back armor going around him like an open jacket,interesting.

EDIT: Nvm, transluscent when prototype as well.

I hear mostly mixed opinions. I think the people who say TT is better then SF is because of the gimmick.

Bifrot makes a good point. Trap Team is a HUGE mixed bag.

I was asking myself the same.

They look extremely transparent compared to final Fire bases which tend to have red and yellow opaque paints on them.
Glad to hear it's a prototype only thing since I like that effect.

I wouldn't be surprised if that base design is final and possibly includes lightcore tech.

Could be but the effect would work perfecly even with the paint on.

When I look at his figure now, I wonder why anyone would put him inside a racing kart. I mean seriously, he could use his tail for better than racing. After all I think he doesn't look like a type of racing character so I hardly doubt he's going to be one.

We have to wonder though what is taking Activision this long to reveal Sky5. Last year it was in April and now 2 of their competitors have already jumped on reveals for their games. I think that Star Wars and the popularity of LEGO will do some serious damage to Skylanders, so hopefully they aren't greedy this time around with similar concepts to Trap Masters and Traps or else I can see that chasing more people away. Just allow the cores to open up gates based on their elements like years before.

Agree.
That's exactly why I'm perplexed.

Why would he need to use a vehicle?
If anything it would make more sense if he turned into one!

Still I hope that isn't the innovation in this game and that V.V. has another ace up its sleeve.

I think they're probably waiting until the hype for LD/DI 3.0 goes down. However, LD has been announced for over a month now, and there still hasn't been actual gameplay of it.

Both trailers had actual gameplay, and the latest one shows a whole lot more gamplay, it even shows that every character is going to have unique abilities.

Those pictures show us a lot more to this guy.

Personally, I think these Skylanders are trapped inside vehicles/engines, in the same way that a genie is trapped inside a bottle, allowing you to switch between vehicle mode and Skylander mode on the fly as the game requires. I think that's the gimmick.

Also, in regards to the late reveal, I distinctly remember lots of people moaning about Activision not showing enough regular content between reveal and release last year. That happens when the dates are too far apart. They probably felt they wanted a shorter window to maximise the marketing noise from their reveals. It also allows them to assess the opposition and steal some of their thunder.
