They use wands, not staffs like Golden Queen or Chompy Mage, more like Broccoli Guy and Rage Mage.

Really? The Sentinel constellation just looks like a regular person with a double sided trident. I see Sentinels as staff holders like Donatello from the TMNT and Sorcerers as having the capability to have different sized wands (GD's staff being the longest presumably)

Sentinel is basically a healer.

How is that a weapon class though?

Technically they aren't strictly weapon classes, they are "battle classes" and simply refer to a "fighting style".

It was on the fact sheet. Official fact sheet, may I add.

"only Doom Raiders" is misleading. What has been said is "all the Doom Raiders" (including Nightshade and Luminous, excluding Kaos). Though take it with a grain of salt, since tealgamemaster's video (and comment) seems to be the only source claiming this (so far).

So, it leaves room for 1-2 other villains (depending on 10/11 being the proper villain count), one of which strongly suggested but not outright confirmed to be Pain-yatta.

Apparently, Paul Reiche confirmed it in an interview.

Dunno why I'm worried about just Doom Raiders, they are all really great.

I'm perfectly fine with the Doom Raiders coming back as 'reformed' characters with fully fleshed out figures and movesets (and I would be overwhelmingly happy if Trap Team saw them as traps of themselves with a read-only Villain value, too! Not gonna happen, but still... it's a thought) About the only Doom Raider I as a player didn't really care for was Dreamcatcher, but I can appreciate what they were going for concept-wise even if it wasn't to my own personal taste

What news have ye peasants?

I'm not worried either way. All Doom Raiders would be cool (very interested in how they change up Dreamcatcher, if she's included).

Assuming it's all Doom Raiders (with the usual +Nightshade +Luminous -Kaos caveat) plus Pain-yatta, I personally think it would tie in nicely with Pain-yatta's wish to be part of the Doom Raiders. He couldn't make it when they were villains, but now, he's their equal as Skylander Senseis.

What Battle class do you guys think the doom raider senseis will have? My best guess is the Dr.Krankcase will be in the Quickshot class

As long as my manz chompy mage can still summon chompies I am content. I will buy all variants of him (given their are variants).
I don't like Dreamcatcher, such an ugly character. But eh, we like some we hate some.

I hope Dream catcher and gulper are definitely figures coz they will diversify up the team a bit more not being regular humanoid designs ( just being a floating head and a slug thing ) .

But I could see them being switched out for something like bad juju or krakenstein and chill bill.

As I said multiple times, if Dreamcatcher's in I'm happy. (I want a floating waifu head in my shelf). I really don't think they'll include minor villains like Chill Bill or Brocoli Guy. Dreamcatcher did have those "bowgrabers" so they could turn that into weapon.

Guys, keep in mind Wolfgang still has most of his bone harp still - they just straightened the blade end and removed the opposing side. The villains can still use their former weapons with proper alterations.

Please don't advertise your twitter here. You weren't the only one asking either.

Sentinel is basically a healer.

The definition for a Sentinel is something like a sentry, though.

As for classes, I'm thinking:

Painyatta - Magic Smasher (Isn't it obvious?)

Chompy-Mage - Life Sentinel (If a Sentinel is a healer, then this could fit him well. This could also work for Broccoli Guy if he was in.)

Luminous - Light Knight (Just give him a light energy sword and we're good.)

Golden Queen - Sorcerer (Already confirmed)

Wolfgang - Undead Bowslinger (Already confirmed)

Dr. Krankcase - Tech Quickshot (The only one that really fits him besides maybe Bazooker.)

Nightshade - Dark Ninja (Maybe he wouldn't have a ninja sword, but I can imagine him using things like ninja stars and dizzying explosives. This could also work well for Tae-Kwon Crow, but in all honesty I'd rather have Nightshade.)

Chef Pepperjack - Fire Brawler (He could have a mix of punching people with his big meaty fists and smacking them with his giant mixer. Like King-Pen summons giant glaciers, he could also summon lava spouts.)

Gulper - Water Swashbuckler (He could perform combos with his trident similar to how Washbuckler attacks with his cutlass. This could also work for Brawl and Chain or maybe even Cross Crow, but Cross Crow should be a Bowslinger, and that's already taken by Wolfgang.)

Krankenstein - Air Bazooker (Don't get me wrong - I like Dreamcatcher, it's just that she wouldn't really fit into any of the classes. She could control a sword with telekinesis, but then she would be a Knight, which is hardly fitting for her. Thus, Krankenstein is the ultimate choice for the Air Element. He could use his big vacuum arm to shoot out bombs and stuff, and he could also use it to suck up enemies and shoot them like projectiles. He could also summon Evilikin minions like Shield Shredder.)

That's my perfect list for want I would want to see with the Villain figures. And if the rumors are true and Kaos is one of them, I'll cover that:

Kaos - Kaos Sorcerer (Unless given his own class, Sorcerer is the only clear choice for Kaos. He would probably play like he did in Trap Team, but probably a bit nerfed and made a little simpler. He would be in the Kaos Element, like he was in Trap Team.)

^ You forgot Air and Bazooker.

Just added it.

More confirmed pieces. Archive Today kinda broke the page but they left the orignal Kotaku link there. To save everyone the effort of visiting that crap site:



Two more articles. It's something of note the game is in a MUCH earlier state than usual, they don't even have a menu logo yet.

http://www.geekmummy.com/2016/...inators-review/
http://etspeaksfromhome.co.uk/...tors-event.html

It actually worries me since they put themselves in the same hole as Trap Team again - spend more time developing the tech and when the game comes they're running out of time already.

From the second article, it appears that Battlecast did hint at something new, just not that we expected. It's Hot Pants, a Gear.

Yes, apparently this year Skylanders learn the ability to dance.

I'm curious and filled with dread at the same time.

It's tied to their leitmotif that you can choose(which plays like gimmicklander themes), but feels like it'll be a winning or idle animation. Unless we get a dancing minigame as a sequel to Skaletones,then hype.

They mean this, when you select your character's theme:

Hmmm... Okay then.

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has already been answered I had a look at a few pages back and I could not see an answer so I thought I would ask

I get that you can only have one custom Skylander saved per crystal. But say I create an awesome character using a fire crystal, but then want to make a new one. Does that character I already made get his formula and stats saved somewhere else or do I have to delete him (or her) forever? While I think the gimmick sounds like a lot of fun if there is no way to save your characters to some kind of vault that would be very disappointing.

We don't know for sure yet, but I'd assume so. However chances are you won't if you tty to change your battle class.

Actually, there IS an imganite vault in the SBAG video, but we don't know for sure what it does, we only see it's icon and Lou doesn't go in depth about it.

Oh snap! They look awesome, especially Wolfgang!

Does anyone know where the picture of the fire and life Senseis originally came from? If it's a video do u have the time? Thanks in advance!

I went to GameStop today and the pre-order bonus is a Book of Kaos, not a Kaos toy.

^ Goddammit...I was just about to post...

But that looks great. I'd really wanna play as Wolfgang.

There is a topic about GameStop weekend in the Toys and Merch section that detailed all of the deals and what was going to be there...

Well, even if you can't save backups of your creations, you could write down the settings you used (or, if available on your console, take screenshots) before making the new one, so that you can re-create them at any time.

Your welcome! They all look so cool!

Excluding Golden Queen, these characters look amazing! I'm really excited to see the rest of the character designs.
