I thought it would be a fun idea to see what everyone would do if they could design a Wow Pow for Skylanders. The only restriction is it needs to be for a Skylander that is a core series type and not one of the gimmick types. Please try to make the Wow Pow fit in flavor and function with the Skylander but there is some leniency if you can explain why your Wow Pow fits with the Skylander. You can list as many Wow Pows as you want for as many Skylanders as you want.

Series 4 Spyro: Elemental Shift - Spyro gains a new move that changes the elemental attributes of his attacks, allowing him to switch between fire breath, ice breath, lightning breath, and rock breath.

Series 4 Stealth Elf: Thorn Darts - Stealth Elf gains the ability to rapidly throw thorn darts much like in the 3DS games.

Series 2 Boomer: Troll Mech - Boomer can temporarily summon a mech in a style similar to the many types of mechs used by trolls throughout the series.

I think the problem with some Wow Pows is that the ones that aren't just upgrades are actual new never seen before abilities, like Skull Buddy. I'll use Battlecast as source of most to be on the safe side, but just warning.

Spyro - Eon's Blessing - Hold Tertiary to change your elemental breath to that of the current zone! Elemental Power bonuses aren't applied.
One unused button, no switching through 9 presses to find what you want. Based on Eon's Might that temporarily increases attack.

Hex - Cryptcraft Channeling - Hold down tertiary to summon a protective skeletal creature. Increase its power temporarily by firing Phantom Orbs at it.
Based on Undead Spell Punks' Cryptcraft, and a combination of SB's Super Baby and Resonant Frequency.

Ghost Roaster - Dish Best Served Dead - Spawned Ghosts heal GR and stun enemies with an AoE stench in Ectoplasm Mode.
Makes Fear Eater more viable. Can't do much else than that without a full reimagining e_e

Chop Chop - Frenzy Plant - Cursed Bone Bramble now branches out to seek enemies.
Pokémon reference. Didn't have any other reason but an upgrade to his tertiary :U

Series 3 Wrecking Ball: Smack Down - Press the Attack 1 button while rolling to leap into the air and slam down on top of enemies with brilliant force. The slam automatically locks onto the nearest enemy(ies).

These all work fine. I never said where you had to get an idea from. It's just nice hearing new attacks or an interesting upgrade. And sometimes the Wow Pow was just an upgrade for an attack.

I know, I just like making them believable. Just 'insert another power relating to the element here' is cheap in my eyes, I'm all for having it fit the character and their theme, upgrade or new move.

Absolute zero ice would be a bit subject to realism vs fantasy conflict, though. While it's a cool way to make ice stronger-sounding, in theory absolute zero water would act like a fluid,wouldn't it? It's why Pokémon uses the NeverMeltIce item as being more or less a chunk of rock that can't be heated, or Sheer Cold which is absolute zero is a beam of ice energy instead.

i just really want a dune bug repose, with armor based off of the Goliath beetle

I think that they should stop giving skylanders wow pows and give them new move sets instead.
Why would i want to pay 12 bucks for just one new attack .

I think they should create brand new characters, if they have new movesets ideas.
Will never pay 10/13€ for a face I already know (and have).

I agree with this idea. If they want to re-heat characters that's fine but they won't get anymore money from me unless they're bringing something new and significant like what they did in SC. In other words, wow pow doesn't cut it anymore.

Ice Breath Spyro (It's like Daybringer Flame but if you hold the primary button even longer, Spyro will breath ice)
Healing Aura Chop Chop (Chop Chop regains more health if defeating enemies then usual)
Six Armed Slam Bam (Slam Bam gets 2 more arms to give more damage)
Blue Flare Sun Burn (The flames from phoenix dash becomes blue which deals more damage)

I'll be back with more some day

I love this idea! But... I think it would work better if you had to press 2 buttons at once to activate ice breath.
