Now that we know the new game theme I'm freaking out, but also skeptical about this new games.
So we should all ask our biggest questions about this game. And then I'll fill out answers about the games as they appear. Here are mine.

Questions

-So can all previous Skylanders be used?
-What about Trap Villians?
-How will the combat system work (Knock Mechanics?)
-Is there a Story Mode

-How does the Skylander Customization work?

My biggest concern... Is the name.

How much freedom we'll ahve when creating our own skylanders.

PVP online with our customized figures?

Name is pretty stupid but it could've been worse. Imaginers sounds even worse.

We'll see that soon, but I hope they know what they're doing with such a task and don't get lost in the gimmick like VV.

Whether the gimmick landers are all gonna be generic bipedal characters.

There better be some sort of use for old figures, especially for the magic items, battle items, adventure items, traps, and vehicles.

Apparently a Story Mode (with certain Skylanders as NPCs) has been confirmed.

Racing is back... And traps are once again just magic projectiles for vehicles.
Maybe V.V. wasn't to blame for all the bad choices I thought, after all...

I have to say, I felt you blamed VV a tad to much

My concern - old figures aren't going to work, but, instead, will unlock "parts" towards the "new" characters we create. This allows Activision to claim that all figures still work, while, essentially, nerfing our ability to actually use them. :/

Press release on the cached video shows they'll work. And some are NPCs as their characters from Academy at the same time.

And Traps "work" with Superchargers... :/

And all magic items, for that matter. <.<

Wait what? So that statement of the press release saying all figures works may only be as "unlocking new parts" for imaginators?

We can't be certain, that is the concern.

I'm going to be on the optimistic side and say they all will work normally (not necessarily magic items), but we can't be certain, cause they said magic items would work in Superchargers, but all they do is a legendary treasure, which isn't really working.

I don't know that at all.

I'm just guessing. :/

Ok, ok, so we are still finding out.

I also said it might have been Activision's fault, but couldn't be too sure.
Now I am.

This still changes nothing in terms of what I think about SuperChargers, but could change what I think about V.V., partially.

If they do make our old characters work just like some kind of decoration, I might reconsider getting this game.
But I doubt it will happen (they made vehicles and traps compatibility very clear, this time).

Would be nice if each one of the exsisting Skylanders unlocked a special part for the creation mode though.
