Hey guys, the Starter Pack content list doesn't name a Portal...

If you look at the bottom of the front of the Starter Pack box, it says "Included Inside" and pictures a Portal.

But.... can we change weapon?

Yes. In a video, the Imaginator switched from using an axe to a guitar

I know. I was talking about changing from Axe-style to Ninja-style and etc...
I see no reset button :/

Surely, the crystals must have some way of resetting otherwise it would ruin their resell value.

The link was pg 49 or 50. Also I want my Ice Dragon, Snowfall to win.

Data will be overwritten just like traps. Effectively they're identical. They take one character at a time of a specific element.

Thanks!

Dark edition seems tempting, but it depends on whether or not everything that is in it is sold individually if I get it or not.

The Imaginators look really fun though. And I love Dark King Pen.

I wouldn't call them VV-landers, more of a compromise. If VV did this, we'd be looking at only changing body size, not individual parts, as in make a character without a triangle chest, giant hands and stubby legs. It's not as varied as we wanted to but it still has plenty of room for creativity.

That's just the Swap Force gimmicklanders though. With the exception of Scratch, Pop Thorn, Slobber Tooth and maybe Wind-up, all the characters introduced in Swap Force and Superchargers look to be createable in this engine, so long as you have the right parts. There's a lot more variety, especially counting the likes of Dive-Clops and Smash Hit. It's just that nearly everyone has a weapon, and aside from the ones mentioned above, they all are at least semi-humanoid.

Compare TFB who have a complete set of dragons(plus a few more), a griffin, two dogs, a horse, a couple of two-in-one characters, plus some bipeds who have creative uses of design, such as Prism Break, Chopper, and Tread Head. You won't be able to make THOSE in this engine.

Definitely doubt we'll see some Tread Head designs, but I'm pretty sure we could create something along the lines of Prism Break and maybe even Chopper (at least in terms of proportions).

I also saw one of the Battle Class presets looking really similar to Trigger Happy, mean he's a pretty creative humanoid.

But yeah, I think they kinda "limited" the creation on purpose.
Which is good in my opinion, because it really sets apart Imaginators from proper Skylanders (they also have less upgrades if I'm not wrong): doubt we could get the options to create characters which would rival the ones trapped in figure form, because they have an artistic vision behind them, after all.

We will create "minor" Skylanders, which do need to be trained.

Welp, guess that's out of the question for me. Whenever I try to make a Twitter account, it says my email has been used, even though I never made a Twitter account.

I saw one of the types- it looked like a levitating healer hippie guy.

That Dark Edition's tempting, but I don't think I'll go for it.

totally going for that dark edition.

I'll probably end up buying dark edition then buying regular starter pack characters on eBay

Well so far, I can make out that Wave 1, we will be getting the following.

• Master King Pen
  
• Golden Queen
  
• Tri-Tip
  
• Wolfgang
  
• Fire Creation Crystal
  
• Life Creation Crystal
  
• Dark Creation Crystal
  
• Dark King Pen
  
• Dark Golden Queen
  
• Dark Wolfgang
  

Unless certain things from the Dark Starter pack will be in different waves, like Wolfgang. It's happened with Smash Hit.
So far, a decent Wave One, but could be better. Hope to see some awesome characters added onto it, like the Life sensei or the Fire Sensei, but those look like Wave 2/3 characters.
I'm not going for the Dark Edition. I've never really liked the color pallet that much. The only reason why I got it was because of the special exclusive things that are featured in it, but chances are, I can get any of the things featured in the Dark Edition regularly on Day One.

Yea, usually the epic looking characters don't come til 2 or 3

Sadly
Really like the Life Guy, but if hes in Wave 2, I'm happy.

got my drawing ready- just gotta color.

and don't forget there are 11 runner up winners who get a free starter pack so don't go at each other's throats just yet

Where didi you saw the Dark Edition contents? Can someone show me shoots of booth Starters?

Also, man, I'm still surprised at how TFB solved the villain issue at least for the Doom Raiders. At least for GD and Wolfgang it makes sense, because she was addicted to gold and rehab would make her stop obsessing with it and Wolfgang went insane from rejection. And if they already accepted help, training the Superchargers in the boss pursuits in their spare time shouldn't be an issue if the Skylanders are ok with it.
Luminous and Nightshade are even easier to explain, since Luminous just lacks a moral compass for a genuine fear and Nightshade's a huge showofd which gladly accepts his fate once he's put in his place.

Now my only real concern is how the story itself would be handled. TFB hasn't gone back on any of VV's changes, only making them better; so I hope this is no different.

If I can manage to get an account using my mom or dad's email, I'm gonna make a stuffed animal-like skylander that looks totally friendly and then the next second later he goes berserk and destroys everything around him.

i just hope for a money bone figurine, that would make my day

my design is like a cross between a witch doctor and a voodoo doll, who can throw needle harpoons and summon random limbs to fight for him.

Thanks for suggesting. I'll definitely do that.

The more I think about it, I'll post my guys info when I actually submit him first just to be safe.

Slap a watermark on it!

Uh, if you guys don't mind the critique...
I wouldn't rush it so much, there are two whole weeks still. Get the characters and the powers neatly separated, maybe draw your guy in different angles so your idea is better transmitted. Buuzer's for example is a bit messy since the transformations and the appearance are all mixed up.
Dunno about the requirements but I'd even get an A3 sheet if you're comfy with bigger drawings. More space, more room for words and organization.

Maybe I'll submit my original spider OC idea.

yeah, i still need to color stitch doctor in

i'll probably submit next week.

Hm, I could also make a fake sheet for Karmalade(one of my plans for a creation) as an example when I get home or tomorrow, I bet it'll do a better job than words.
I can't really participate since not in the US nor can anyone take that since other person's work, but you guys could take notes on how organized it can be.

Hmm, I have an hour free here even, I'll try it on an A4 I've got on my backpack a d later polish it as well.

Once mine is on Twitter I'll send it here. I think any dragon fan would like him.

Also you can make giant women, or make guys wear tank tops. That'd be definately asking too much from VV.

This game definitely looks like a step in the right direction for TfB and V.V to eventually work together on a game. Imagine... VV's gimmick ideas mixed with TfB's character designs, VV's level length/checkpoints mixed with TfB's level design, and both of their story ideas mixed together!

the other way around please, I don't want forced vehicles and absolutely despiseable characters.

Do you have some issues you wanna work out Deja Vu or

Better get started on my drawing

I'd take a "I don't need advice" but sure send it one day in without much thought e_e I still want to help, though, just quickly sketching a mock sheet.

I bet the make-your-own-skylander thing is the guest star

Quote: Bionichute

No no, what I meant is that TFB makes some really bad characters but also really amazing ones, while VV makes all characters okay and likeable and a few amazing ones.

Wouldn't suprise at all.

Would like to take part in the competition but, you know...I'm 0 talented at drawing.

I'll be submitting a design too, he's my favorite skylander OC that I've made
he's a dragon man with a cannon arm named Gauntlet here's his ref sheet I made


if it's not there I don't know how to image

I JUST DIED LAUGHING.

I deeed it, but phone really likes big pictures so link. This is Karmalade, or at least what I remember from the first time I thought about it.

Here it is, might be a bit big, this is a mock sheet I can't upload this and you'll get disqualified if you do, but it's pretty much the basics if you have an A4 paper. The character, the attacks, all neatly organized, and sketches demonstrating stuff have proper placement. No coloring since I don't carry my coloring pencils, when i get home I'll redo this on my A3 and show coloring.

Oh yeah. Sketch, always sketch. You might not draw well but you can draw much better if you plan out the size with lightly drawn circles and rectangles, then you can draw the final character on top with a pen or stronger pressed pencil.

Edit: I forgot the catchphrase. Pretend "Open up!" Is written there.

So about upgrades for Imaginators
They come with like two
Then you can take the Third Attack of a sensei you own, and the Sensei will teach it to the Imaginator.

I'm not sure what system this is better to get on....Wii U or 360?
I don't have a PS4 any more and will wait a good while before I get another one as it wasn't played much.

I'll assume Wii U would be best graphically.
