I have heard on the main forum for Imaginators that the nine Doom Raiders and Pain-Yatta are back as full blown playable characters this time.

Which Doom Raider(s) are you guys most excited for?

Personally, I think all are really cool and represent the elements in their own unique ways.

Golden wife and candy smasher.

Wolfgang

GD of course. But if Air is between Bad JuJu and Dreamcatcher, I'm interested for sure.

Chompy mage I think.
But it depends, I'm mostly only interested in the villains that have been remade in a different class then what they used to be (like wold gang having a bow ). Golden queens play style is just a little too familiar to me from TT. So it depends on how the others have been designed.

Golden Queen
Wolfgang
That's it really, though I'd much prefer Mesmerelda or Spellslamzer to get in rather than one of the others.

Wolfgang and potentially Krankcase

Luminous

Definitely between Chompy Mage and Wolfgang, but if Painyatta is the Magic Villian Sensei, then I'm INSANELY hyped!

Where is it even confirmed that all the Raiders will be in? What class could Dreamcatcher possibly be?

That being said, I'm rather partial to most of the other Raiders. Even Gulper.

My waifus of course, Gold and Dream. Though I also can't wait to see the new Bowslinger Wolfgang as well as Luminous and Nightshade. These are the only ones I really want, I don't care about the others.

If luminous is confirmed I will die

Luminous, I think.

What class could Dreamcatcher possibly be?

I could see them just letting her use a floating weapon with telekinesis but I think it could be funny if she used her hair as arms and hands and control something with that, so she could be a knight, sentinel, or maybe a swashbuckler. She could probably also just blow some wind or something and be a bazooker.

But I am looking forward to seeing what they do with Dreamcatcher, and I hope they can extend on Gulper more, bc he seemed really lame in STT. Of course I want to see GQ as well and I'm excited to see Wolfgang as an archer now, bc, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we've only had two other archers so far.

Only one if I didn't miss out on anything.

Flameslinger and Snap Shot. Which one did you forget?

Ohhhhhhh, you meant all the archers! I thought you only meant Senseis, silly me. But yeah, only two official archers, that's a very little number for such a huge roster. I don't know if you could count Punk Shock with her crossbow.

Well, I think this is obvious :3

I ask again, though, how do we know all the Raiders are in? You all could be setting yourselves up for some serious disappointment.

Tealgamemaster hinted as such, iirc, and the backstory for GD backs it up.

That and they said you could expect some new creations. Outside of the uber popular Doom Raiders, I suspect there may be as many new characters as returning.

See, this is what I thought. I can't remember reading anywhere that all the Doom raiders were returning.

"During her rehabilitation, Master Eon gave the Golden Queen and the Doom Raiders a choice – either remain imprisoned in the newly-rebuilt Cloudcracker Prison or become Skylander Senseis, teaching a new generation of Imaginators their formidable battle skills as well as how to stay clear of a life of crime. The villains accepted the deal but first had to prove themselves by re-arranging all the books in the Academy's library, a task which took almost two years, and much to the Queen’s dismay, had nothing to do with gold. But this gave her an opportunity to rethink her insatiable desire for treasure and that maybe there is more to life than stealing. She now trains the Sorcerer Class and considers herself mostly reformed."

This is from Golden Queen's new bio as a sensei. Take it as you will

Ah-ha! Thankyou! Now it all makes sense

All of them, though I really hope the Chompy-Mage is in this and I'm looking forward to using Golden Queen.

1. Chef Pepper Jack
2. Luminous
3. Golden Queen
4. Wolfgang
5. Dr. Krankcase

^That's pretty cool that they actually gave a story line for why they are the continuing villains. It also provides some evidence that traps were never meant to be a permanent home for the villains, which is something I always thought so I didn't really mind there wasn't continuous trap use after trap team.

My top picks are undoubtedly and , but I'm also a fan of , and . I'm still curious to know the identity of the Air turncoat, but if it's then I'll really have to think about whether I'd like to collect her. I'd much rather Bad Juju as a Sensei.

So if we do get Pain-yatta, I wonder if this means he got promoted to being a Doom Raider some time after Trap Team?

Pain-Yatta already kind of got that in the comics.

I think my opinion on this one is pretty clear. Queenie's in second place, though.

Wolfgangas my #1 choice but seeing how he got his figure im hoping to see pepper jack and chompy mage

Really none of them actually. I kind of resent the fact that Villains are basically Skylander instructors. They should have had to rise up from the ranks like every other Skylander. By the 6th game we basically meet the Skylander leadership. It's like not meeting Optimus Prime until Season 6...it just seem strange is all.

...That being said I guess Wolfgang, all the others are punks...I'm not buying Golden Queens act at all.

I feel the same really, there's nothing wrong with villain figures, but it would've been better if they kept the villains bad so you could play villain missions like capturing towns people and taking over skylands etc.

Also the dynamic of villains talking to good skylanders in a friendly tone is just uncomfortable. Hopefully they keep their villain morals and personas and have some missions or something that truely make them distinct from just being another skylander.

Wolfgang and Krankcase. They've always been my two favorite Doom Raiders.

Senseis are not even close to leadership. Spyro has been estabilished as such years ago. The Senseis are masters at the weapons and some were leaders on their own but not of the skylanders.

Wolfgang can't handle life!

Yeah the Senseis don't have anything to do with leadership, they are just teachers (as their title indicates). And they are teachers because they are the most skilled warriors out of all of Skyland's heroes. Similarly, the Doom Raiders are the most skilled warriors out of all of Skylands' villains. It makes perfect sense that they would be given the option of passing their knowledge on to the Imaginators, thus giving them a well rounded education about techniques used by both heroes and villains.

Chompie Mage definitely, I need his Sensei-villain character for my army of chompy imaginators

Dreamcatcher, Golden Queen and Pain-yatta

Definitely Wolfgang.

Hoping for chill bill, loved his music theme and he was a great character.

V pretty much says who I want

I heard a video on YouTube that the first 9 slots of the Villain Sensei are going to be The Doom Raiders. The other two may be new villains

He looks sick

Even if most of the villains senseis will be doom raiders, People who wanted other villains can still probably make a lot of the old favourite villains in the imaginator studio ( yes you'll miss out on a physicsl figure , but at least you'll get a playable version again ) .

I've already seen a Count Money Bone head as a part, and a skeleton body will definitely be available.

Troll parts will probably be pretty standard too so something like chill bill and threat pack will probably possible. We even know some villain weapons will be available ( broccoli guys staff ) .

the only challenging part will probably be matching a class with appropriate attacks to get them close to their original play style, if that's what u want. E.g. Chill bill might be best as a bazooker, if we can organise a ice cannon similar to Ka booms traptanium Fire cannon.

I'm actually really hoping for Broccoli Guy as the Life Sentinel. He's been hinted, too. Both that guy on Instagram saying that he would be voicing him and the fact that his staff is an item seen in the trailer could point towards it. The voice actor could be for Academy, but we don't know for sure. The guy just said he would be voicing Broccoli Guy for Skylanders, and didn't specify if it was the game or the show. Also, King Pen's metal fins and Tri-Tips horns are both in the Character Creator, so it shows Senseis can unlock pieces. Could Broccoli Guy be a Sensei, and he can unlock his staff for Imaginators to use? It's probable. I would say that he would be a Sorcerer, but that's taken by Her Majesty, so I'll give him the next best thing: Sentinel. I could imagine him attacking by twirling his staff like Splat or Fire Kraken. This class also fits perfectly for the Chompy-Mage or The Gulper, but I'm just covering Broccoli Guy here.

Now that we know Sentinel gameplay, it's possible, but it also applies to Chompy Mage and the Air villain whoever it ends up being.
