I don't know if this has been posted yet but this is the back that I was wanting to see a few dozen posts ago. Nothing really to see here other than strong wording about vehicles not being waterproof. So don't go bathing with them, ok? LOL

Unless you get an extra Diver Bomber for Christmas you're willing to use as a bath toy e.e

The Darkness is being powered by the Doomstation though, as... I think the Treehouse event said? If it's destroyed,it'll probably have to retreat to the Outlands again - but maybe the portal network will need some replacing to make up for Skylands' fabric of reality going nuts. Wouldn't be surprised if they extend the Sky Train to go through the rifts, that'd actually give them an excuse to create new transportation other than airships.

You've got it backwards. The doom station is powered by the darkness.

Maybe, but then wouldn't the Skylands matter be giving it more power anyway? The Doomstation must be amplifying its ability to corrupt the world, if it's a character by itself now - maybe even being in contact with the fabric of reality like that gives it said personality?

Here's a close up of Splat from here: pinsta.me/tag/Skylanders5

Interested to see her attacks.

Also, the Darkness is taking an actual physical form, so it'll probably be like the Emperor and Darth Vader: Kaos is just a pawn used by it.

Official name. Odd why they chose the name "Splat".

New E3 video with Fiesta gameplay. Lou mentions that there'll be a shoot-em-up inspired top-down Sky area. But then again it's not a Skylanders game without going full Touhou/CAVE for a section or two.

Huh,Fiesta in screenshots seems to have glowing pupils but his eyes are entirely blank in the new videos. Might've been a glitch then since they were the same color of his bones.

Also quote of the day: "These vehicles have a lot of history... As they fly into your pocket".

SkyDad said it in a quick Instagram video

I hope splat is in wave 1.

A bit like how Melkor controls Sauron in LOTR books.

That'd be pretty awesome. Kaos is definately not someone you want around but better the devil you know than the actual equivalent for the devil in your universe(or Nefarion,but they'll need a good explanation for him not to die of old age after centuries,and if he comes back at all). A dark perspective that would make things kinda cooler for the lore.

What would happen to Glum Shanks?!?!?

Has an image of the underneath part of the base been shown yet?

I'm assuming there's no card with it and we were unfortunately right that they've ditched them.

a new tech supercharger?...

I had a feeling it'd be a robot knight, i was hoping for another dog.

Fire and Undead have one a piece, Tech would be brilliant.

There are only so many robots you can have before the idea gets stale.

agreed mate. I am not a huge fan of robots in general

May actually be the Light SuperChargers SkyDad was talking about.

The base looks grey but the image is so overexposed and blurry I cannot really tell the colors.
Looks interesting, not that sure it's a robot.

Now Trigger Happy and Boomer were brilliant ideas.

They clearly lost their way

I could come up with loads of stuff for Tech.

For starters, if they like Knights why not one with a mechanical horse, we've had a skeleton Ostrich.

The Elements have barely been touched.

I could write a list of creatures that would make great Skylanders.

It's possible but the base looks more grey than white hence it's likely to be gears.

Possible, but to me the base has the look of gold gears, which would mean Tech, but since it's so bright we can't be 100% sure.

If a pic is out there, the name an Element won't be far behind.

Somebody has to get a clear good shot of this guy by today.

If we could make out the element symbol that would be a start.

Does anyone know who this guy is?

He's an actor named Josh Duhamel

Mask of Power series villain. Pretty much the reason why Earth PMs are needed in the first place - he killed off so many humans in Skylands with the Mask of Power that everyone was okay with freezing him to death in return. But Kaos altered time trying to steal the mask from him so he had a different end,if at all.

I wonder if we'll have any expansion packs, i'd love to see what they could come up with.

I heard a rumour that Count MoneyBone was making an appearance.

But like i say it's not been proven so don't get excited.

Another shot

I'd say he/she is either Tech or Earth.

But since we have seen Earth bases I think Tech is more likely.

I think it is most likely ligh.

I wish the focus wasn't directed at the person himself, it is so hard to describe the new SuperCharger

Whoo boy another Tech robot. Has there been a single VV tech skylander that's not a robot, not even a cyborg? Trigger Happy doesn't count.
He looks nice, but unless he's Light it's still kinda reusing an archetype. So many ideas for organic guys using technology, Tread Head is kind of alone these last 3 years on that.

But TriggerHappy isn't from VV in the first place. He never was a cyborg and never will be.

I find tech one of the least Original elements out there. Most of the Tech skylanders... no wait... all of them except Trigger Happy are robots. I find iTech losing it's originality. I don't say that tech is a bad element qua abilities. I admit, I love drobot, but majority of the Tech guys are just...look-alikes...

Amen to that.

They've proven they can come up with something other than a robot for Tech, so why not do it?

Not ALL of them are robots.
Just a lot of them.

Trigger Happy, Boomer, Drobot, Sprocket, Chopper and Tread Head aren't robots (not entirely at least).

However, if this is truly a robot and is from the Tech Element then yes, all of V.V. Skylanders are robots.

Well, I was mainly talking about Cybernetic parts/Robot-like armor. but if you like to watch it from that perspective, then yes, you're right.

I meant they gave Triggs a redesign, so they have a hand on him now. He isn't a cyborg, Drobot and Boomer are.
Pretty much on Tech variety. You can do a lot with robots, but it's the same issue with Fire - when you look at the entire group they kind of melt together - you have red robot, blue robot, spider robot; knight on fire, robot on fire, girl on fire.
And it's a shame they're not doing much more with it, DK's car is there to show they know Tech isn't just about steel and wiring. Look at Undead - even with so many sksletons, no two look the same even if you look at the very basics - dog gem skeleton, mariachi ghost skeleton, elf with skeleton ostritch, ghoul-skeleton-reaper-cannibalistic-thingy. You can't reduce them so much, and this is just looking at archetype.

While Magic is so much different. Each Magic Skylander is different while it comes down to Archtypes. IMO that is. I don't say my opinion is a fact...

I'd like to see something besides a dragon.

Don't get me wrong i love dragons, but there are so many things they could use.

Brownies, fairies, ogres, drwarves.

The list goes on and on.

I think when each element had a dragon that should have been it.

I'm still wondering what the Dark SuperCharger is supposed to be.

I have a rough idea from what i can see of her, but knowing me i'm way off.

Well, from the looks of things we'll have to do with Spitfire as a new dragon - and he just looks like one, fire spirit and all. Everyone else is looking like they're trying different animals or creatures... Except that robot.
Speaking of which, I wonder if we'll see more Nightfall today? Gamestop had Fiesta yesterday, so she's the only full reveal without gameplay(I mean one with name, backstory and vehicle, goat girl and robot don't have that yet)
