So by my count that's 4 character figures which we have yet to discover? I'm assuming the Nintendolanders are going to count as returing and I'm betting on Spyro for returning Magic as it's rather obvious. Then there are the new Life, Earth and Dark/Tech depending on what the Robot will be (I'm pretty sure he's a Tech though). I'm pretty impressed to know most of the figures so soon.

We still need to know the new Life, Earth, Tech, Light, and returning Magic. I say Tech because we haven't even seen a good picture of the new one.

If you look closely under the words on the bottom of the packaging of the top-right picture of the E3 Hot Streak, there seems to be the back of a character card

Yeah, iirc someone confirmed there is a card and sticker in there.
Also, the Skylanders FB posting pictures of the booth - there is a clear picture of the mysterious rocky city island from the Starter Pack in one of the posters there, but I can't make out much of it. Considering most of the youtubers must've returned home/to hotels already I doubt anyone actually looked into that,though.

I think it looks more like a sticker sheet.

Second Treehouse video is out for about 40 mins now. I'll look into it later,but here's another part for the plot - The Darkness doesn't want to take over just Skylands,it wants to destroy the universe, which is why the Skylanders have contacts elsewhere.

I mean when it's the ultimate force of evil you kinda expect it but it's nice to have some confirmation.

Just finished watching it. Was pretty interesting. I like his mods.


Also, his concept art was awesome too. I liked the greaser design.

Where are these videos?

Turns out Josh Duhamel owns that particular Supercharger he was photographed with, because he's the voice actor for that character.

Nintendo channel. Here's the first one with Bowser. Second one has DK.
On a slight offtopic moment, I don't know if I get sad or awkwardly happy that Superchargers videos got less dislikes there than the new Metroid spinoff. I mean, Nintendo and the internet noticed us, but at what price?
But this place isn't for nintendo general discussion. News is the topic, so let's see if they changed any wording between videos - and I also can see vehicles are required in this version of the game as well,so it's an universal change and not just a sad coincidence.

Spitfire's "tail" disappears in the modding menu. Weird.

I going to wait til a picture is posted or there is confirmation from acti as to whether we're getting cards this year. That picture is definitely showing a sticker only.

The one thing I noticed from Lou's gameplay video is that each section of a level seems about as long as a TfB level.

WHERE IS LOUS GAMEPLAY

WHERE IS LOUS GAMEPLAY

Official Skylanders channel,just like last year. We'll probably specify the youtuber/company if it's not there since his gameplay videos are there to stay.
But not sure about TFB-sized levels, Chapter 12 is so short, the size of Perilous Pastures done in a calm pace almost. Even they can go up to 10,20 minutes on their own exploring everything,but there's like 4 collectibles in 12, apparently other 3 in 13 that we saw, not much at all.

It still took Lou almost 20 minutes to beat it. Chapter 13 was short, but that's because it was a fast vehicle section.

Oh whoops I meant 13. I keep thinking the land section comes first. 6 minutes is still dangerously short, and that's with stopping to introduce things - that's what some boss levels before had, and most people didn't like having those separate either since it's pretty much trying to make the number higher but not the play time.

I see the sticker sheet; I was talking about under that; if you look close enough you can see what might be the SuperChargers logo on the back of the card.

Woah.

Pretty sure this confirms Spyro as the last returning Supercharger. Terrafin and Jet-Vac are there, and we know they're getting figures.

Jet Vac and Terrafin are there, both are SuperChargers. Could this mean..?

Ninja'd

Tussle sprout!!

well looks like more evidence to get spyro as the supercharger?

Yroc says that the tech skylander is named "High Volt". Pretty cool name.

No idea, but I think he gets sent stuff from Activision.

If spyro were a supercharger, that would make me so happy, even if I am in the hospital.

not until they post his figure it would be official. just because he's in the comic books does not mean he's getting a repose. personally they might only be putting him in the comics. if it's a prequel to the game it doesn't mean he's actually involved in it whatsoever.

Honestly, I have my doubts for Spyro being a SuperCharger since he's a quadruped and a little bit overrated for my taste.

Here this place mentions that josh voices Highvolt. http://manjr.com/2015/entertai...ll-force-at-e3/

Sorry, but, have High Volt and Astroblast been confirmed to be Skylanders?
They could easily be NPCs (but if I understood correctly Duhamel is voicing the character he is holding, so at least that should be High Volt).

One of them will be,for sure, unless it's another case like Hawk and Arbo where they get cool voiceover but didn't make the cut as playable.

On the Rift into Overdrive comic,reeeeaally hoping it's my theory that Spyro's crew going into the rift gives them the powers as well,or the Superchargers give them nifty Rift Engines as thanks for calling them before it was too late. There's also someone in the back of the cover but it's freally hard to tell with just a small blue metal tip.

If you are talking about that thing in the upper left corner, I think it might be the Sky Slicer.

Or a new character,since we know there's a blue robot around.

Could be, we still don't precisely know 4 brand new Skylanders, I think.

However it does look like the front of the Sky Slicer:



The color scheme isn't identical but again it might simply be another small mistake.

How many subscribers and views would one need for that?

You'd be surprised, Ninja. Skyfamily is doing a really good and respectful job compared to the real clickbait attention seeker LPers out there, child oriented or not.
Speaking of them, in their Cloudbreather Dragon video, apparently Hugo keeps in touch with Eon's spirit because he carries his only memento left,a sock. I might be overthinking this but considering Eon got in limbo because of a magic nuke, having the footwear of all things be the only part left has some real dark IRL parallels.
That's not even mentioning how creepy that kinda is.

Nice to see Lightning Rod's people make an appearance.

At how far people would go to get views and subscribers. I don't mean just speculation, I also mean straight up lying in titles to trick people into watching something else entirely.

We actually have a source that says his name is High Volt. It's not lying or speculation.
