Where did you find this?

I'm really glad that they're giving so much info on day 1. Not enough to give everything away, but enough to at least clear everything up, unlike Trap Team, which confused everybody for months.

I base what I'm about to say on those white nametags under each figure.

Assuming the central pictures represent vehicles, each Element has actually 4 characters excluding Light and Dark who only have 2 characters respectively.


Upon closer look each element has 2 boxes, each box contains one supercharger and their respective vehicle ( judging by the top of the poster light and dark only have one supercharger and vehicle each, which makes sense) and the small boxes in the middle represent one individual item for each element that we are unaware of at the current moment.

There is clearly something else they are trying to hide from us right now, the only question is what could possibly be so important that each element only gets one of this mystery item?

Lightcores?

From what I heard Lou say in the Q&A with the sky kids lightcores are not in this game.

Wow, great sight!I couldn't even say if there 3 or 4 characters on each element.

Interesting question about the central item: it's been stated in a few reviews that are still a few surprises to be revealed. Maybe is another type of "living" vehicle like huge dragons to fly, wales to swim and triceratops for road?.

I read that in the vehicle mode, only one player can drive the vehicle. What happened to the second player, then?

That's ripped straight from Crash Tag Team Racing. :/

Edit: And that's just reminded me that CTTR is ten years old this year. Gawd, that time has flown.

has it been verified anywhere if the vehicles have levels/upgrades? (other than the parts you can unlock and swap, im thinking more like experience levels and upgrades you use gold for). Or can you only 'upgrade' them with the parts you unlock?

I've read that one drives, the other shoots. No clue if that's actually what happens as I haven't heard any official mention about it in the videos.

True, but not only do the precise mechanics sound closer to how CTTR handled the dual control (albeit this game doesn't require car merging), CTTR was developed by Radical Entertainment, which was a branch of Activision, which is the company that owns Skylanders. It'd be easier for them to access that as a source of ideas.

They are upgraded with Gearbits, which are found in the vehicle portions. They don't level up or have health but instead have shields. If the shield runs out your Skylander starts to take damage and then functions as the vehicles health. There are no paths but there are 2 branches to the upgrade tree that can both be accessed. On is for offence, and one focuses on shields.

To me, in that poster it looks like there could be a possibility of being 4 new characters per element, and they're just not telling us.

It just hit me that there probably won't be any quadruped Superchargers despite the fact that they're apparently going to allow all the older characters, regardless of their body type, drive the vehicles. That'll end up being pretty disappointing if it turns out I'm right because those kinds of Skylanders usually end up being my favorites. I guess the surplus we got with the last game will have to tide me over.

I'll bet anyone five bucks that they're going to choose Pop Fizz over Spyro as the returning magic element. It certainly has seemed like they've been trying to have him overtake Spyro as the 'main' magic Skylander for awhile now.

I wish they'd have a split-screen action mode for vehicles instead. I know my kids will not be happy to be the gunner while another gets to be the driver.

That would be pretty cool, I would personally love if instead of riding these living vehicles you could control them like the other skylanders, also I noticed that what ever they are there is a small black box under them (which I assume is the tag stating the classification of these figures)

Okay guys, I zoomed in on the poster and there is definitely a picture of Dive Bomber in the left middle column. My guess is that you know how in SWAP Force, the middle section showed the top of the Swapper to the left combined with the bottom of the Swapper to the right? Well I think that the all the two middle columns are are some of the SuperChargers in some of the vehicles especially since there seems to be nowhere to put a sticker under the things in the middle section. I believe that, despite what we learned about the number of vehicles/Skylanders earlier, there will be 18 SuperChargers with 18 matching vehicles. Two per element, except for only one for Light/Dark.

Nah, I think we'll get some Quadrupeds. Spyro is basically confirmed. Look at Spitfire, he has no legs. Just because they're not bipedal, doesn't mean they can't drive a vehicle.

What the heck? I was looking at the poster image in a new tab when all of a sudden it became all pixely and weird.

My prediction is that they mean 20 new characters, while there are 20 reposes too.

They've already said tat the Super Chargers include the reposes. 10 reposes 10 New characters.

I know that's why I said what is bolded above.
Also, they may change the official numbers because last year it was originally stated that in Trap Team we would get 18 new cores and 16 new Trap Masters, but there turned out to be 18 Trap Masters.

I guess we'll know the truth soon enough.

@abstractsaredine: Sorry, I wasn't trying too sound like a jerk when I said "I know" but it's hard to put emotion into texts except with emogees.

It is also possible that that is not the final poster.

Meh It's ok

I have a question, dunno if it was asked or not. If there are 10 superchargers and ten upgraded revamps, who are they going to bring back for Light and Dark? Spotlight and Blackout?

Unless I'm missing something?

People are speculating that they're going to have two new Light and Dark characters instead of reposes.

Well the idea is that there will be 10 new characters and 10 returning ones. That means that there are several possibilities for Light/Dark returning characters:
1. Spotlight and Blackout will return (likely)
2. Knight Light and Knight Mare will return (unlikely)
3. Knight Light/Blackout will return (very unlikely)
4. Knight Mare/ Spotlight will return (very unlikely)
5. They will bring back two different older charcters whose elements have changed to Light/Dark (not that likely)
6. They will turn two NPCs into Skylanders as Light/Dark characters (not that likely)
7. They got they're numbers wrong and the poster is correct, being that there will only be one new character of Light/Dark (likely)

I'm looking at either 1or 7 happening; maybe even something else altogether will occur.

I'm thinking 1 or 6, but i'm leaning towards new L/D Skylanders all around.

So, now that I've had all day to soak it in...

I think this game will go well with me. I love the level design that we've seen. I also think the racing portion looks balanced and fun. The new characters look awesome which beings me to my next point. I like the idea of having less Skylanders. Loved Giants roster but got a little tired of 30 something in the next 2 games. 20 is a great number. I'm not too big on having reimagined characters, but since the base is different and they have new abilities, I will go for them. As for the cars, I do wish they were a bit smaller to maybe cut costs. I dont think they need to be that big if the Skylander isnt going to be able to fit into it. I will still get all 20 vehicles though so I can display all characters with their vehicle.

Overall, I think that this breathes fresh life into the series while also staying true to the root of the game which is collecting toys and leveling them up. And VV has done a lot more imo to give the players what they have been asking for. They included a trap slot, let you use the previous portal pack. Gave a cheaper digital version, most likely online capabilities, and fewer toys. I think the people who are complaining are the people who are just burned out and need an excuse to leave the series.

Alright, so we have confirmation of 20 SuperChargers. 10 being new, 10 being reposed. And I love this, less collecting, more focusing on the game play. BUT.... does it confirm anywhere that there wont be 20 new cores (not superchargers) and 20 reposes (not superchargers)? Maybe the 20 characters theyre referring only to the SuperChargers to match with the vehicles.

Unless its been stated somewhere otherwise (theres way too much info too quickly to follow everything)

It's been stated that there are only 40 new toys to collect. The 20 superchargers and the 20 vehicles. Makes me wonder if expansion levels will return or not.

I'm hope they don't, I'm only getting the ones in TT so I have all villains.

This is the image EB Games in NZ are using to promote it:
https://content.ebgames.co.nz/...erchargers1.jpg

Take the Roller Brawl and Flip Wreck inclusions or stupid marketing.

The vehicle parts look very similar to the "go forward" swap zones. Pretty much what I was expecting from VV. Just hopefully they fix SF's glaring issues like interruptible cutscenes/dialog instead of using the same old stuff.

I think it's interesting that the reposes are brand new versions. Known characters, but different. The catch is probably that they're series 1 and won't get returning bonuses. I hope they're at least forward compatible in some way (acting as the old character), but I'd doubt it. I also don't get the price hike with no new tech?

At least there's only three "types" instead of 8/10 unless they pull something like "only a supercharged water/fire/etc can enter this gate."

So basically, not as hyped as TT's reveal, but more hyped than SF.

Well with the game coming out sooner than the other titles, at least this means we have to get a full list sooner since there isn't much time til the game comes out. We may get more leaks on the characters more than any other game if we are lucky enough.

Depends, Roller Brawl looks new, but Flip Wreck looks the same, so not quite sure what's going on there. I've not seen any press assets that contain those two characters.

^It looks like some sort of winter-themed variant of Roller Brawl.

I believe the winter Roller Brawl is from that Lost Islands iOS game. They probably just took a random skylanders image and slapped it on top of the superchargers logo because the variants in Lost Islands don't have figures and are only for that game.

Regarding Light and Dark I think I read somewhere there are actually 12 brand new Skylanders and 8 revamps.

So it's still a strong possibility.

Another thing I'm really curious to see is Magic, Light and Undead bases since they are made by more solid materials rather than Fire, Water and Air so it will be interesting to see how they'll adapt them to the engines.

Quote: Bifrost

Quarter of the game? That would mean around 40 levels,which is unrealistic to say the least compared to the other games; in two years it'd be a bit much to do.

Not really. They called it levels, but what I've seen it's only a other label for checkpoints. It looks like the levels are so big as in Swap Force but they are segmented in different smaller parts, so that it will be at the end maybe just 10 or 12 levels.

I think the mistake a few people are making with this is thinking there has to be an even split of elements.
If we get 10 revamps and there are 20 figures all together, then i don't think VV will go for having to recreate 50% of the light/dark element characters that were only added in the last game also given that that would also be half of the light/and dark characters that we see for this game.

Given the extensive back catalogue and overwhelming numbers of traditional element skylanders looking to be revamped, it think it more likely that we will only see one light and one dark, leaving room for more deserving and dare i say traditional skylanders to be revamped. also leaving light and dark with there best attribute, rarity lol.

that little picture is really hard to see and it won't zoom in. is there a bigger version?

Do you guys think sunburn,ghost roaster,and wham shell have a chance of getting in as superchargers since we haven't seen anyone from there element?
