OMG! This would be the perfect level for He... *sees Trigger Happy on the billboard* Darn it!

I personally doubt this is his level, it could be Hex's

So someone is laying groundwork...

He looks to funky for Wolfgang maybe a relative? And oh god those trigger happies as show girls.

Hex comes from a normal wizard village, though.
however, she gets associated with Trigger Happy an unhealthy amount in the series because he's the only one that made her laugh in recent times. They could be sharing the level if Wolfgang's there just for show.

Rollerbrawl is the Undead Academy rep, but that's definately not her level. Way too energetic for her.

Am I the only one a little disappointed with the figure bases this time round? Hopefully they'll be a lot more detailed/look less cheap IRL.

Anyone else notice snow in that spooky level? It kinda reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas.

No you're not, I get the impression they're a cost saving exercise.

Better exercise than VV's I hope. One thing is to lack fancy shading and gradients like these display figures, but some SF/SC straight up are plain paint over simple molds sometimes.

Giving a better look at the picture, doesn't look much like an undead level. Feels more like an abandoned village.

I actually like the bases for this year

Well, the design of that level looks really V.V.-ish, but the pure gameplay of Imaginators is soooo TfB.
Looks like we might have reached a good compromise.

I think it could be an Unded-themed level but it definitely doesn't scream it; seems like it's also a slightly more open and explorable area, with stairs and hopefully visitable houses.

Regarding bases, I highly preferred the old design but what really makes me dislike them is that they are so unnecessarily big; they almost looks like they are the reason why Senseis' figures are that huge, not the opposite.

Comic spoilers ahead:

We've also got this screenshot of gold waifu.



Nothing really that interesting in it. But between this and the undead level, at least we're seeing more of the game than just Jet-Vac's level.

Now that you mention it, this town just screams the village of the early kingdom from Alice through the looking glass. A nice small town around christmas time.

I'm pretty sure i the screenshot of Dark Wolfgang and Dark GQ, there was a new level. Idk, might have been Jet Vac level.

EDIT: Also... Chompy Pods. Ugh, that means to defeat all villains in the level to get the achievement you'll have to wait for all the chompys to spawn :I

All I see are dead trees.

Trees are "dead" during winter when they're that kind whose name I forgot.

@Pwnage - It's been an entire year, I don't think spoilers are needed.
In Graduation Day, some idiot in the Academy hired the band called Evil Imposters. Three guesses as to who they were. They dropped the disguises pretty quick, though.

Regarding the Golden Queen screenshot, that level gives me a strong Rampant Ruins vibe and, my goodness, those Chompies look amazing.
Definitely not the ones from Trap Team, never looked that much at SuperChargers'.

Yep.
They got invited there since it was Mini's graduation day, and once they were left alone they revealed themselves and started their plan.
Krankcase was so beatiful with the blonde wig.

This is definitely a new design of chompys, I haven't seen these.

It's the same as SC with minor alterations. The King Chompy at Rift to Skylands's very beginning is easy to look at, but there are minor alterations. They look fatter on the legs.

Wow, we got a crap-load of new images from that Xbox link. Three parts of new levels, some new screenshots of the Imaginator, Golden Queen, and Master King Pen's Sky Chi is in action.

Interesting new images. Waiting for what the Crash pack is about. And this "Wolfgang" in the billboard is like super cool.

Little mini-theory: First off, I don't think the Trigger Happies on the billboard there are the Trigger Happy, but just the same species, hence why there's multiple of him. Second, what if this is like Wolfgang's hometown where he's some major rock and roll celebrity?

It would make sense, I mean Wolfgang is undead and this down just screams undead.

Wolfgang used to be something else, though. Is possible that after he turned, he attacked his people and that's what's left of it, but the backstory mentions someplace more regal.

That struck an idea to me.

What if this IS Trigger Happy's level, and his kind lives in that village, and they made that billboard with Wolfgang because he attacked their village when the Doomraiders first took over Skylands and they put the billboard up with their language on it below Wolfgang saying that if you see him run. It would be funny if you played as regular or dark Wolfgang and walked through the village of Trigger Happys and they ran away from you lol.

But maybe when they saw him, that's what he looked like in their eyes.

It doesn't really look like Wolfgang.

Also, those are some amazingly detailed Chompies.

Looks like that Undead level is the one we will see at E3 and the Jet-Vac Level :3

You'd understand if you saw the movie. In the movie there weren't any trees at all if I remember correctly.
Back on topic! I don't know why but this could be Wolfgangs hometown. It does look like a small village in a kingdom, as I already said.

I don't really get people who are saying this is visually VV-ish
I'm getting none of that Cinematic, Expansive, feel that I got from levels like Iron Jaw Gulch

I was thinking more about SuperChargers' V.V..

The atmosphere and the colors make it looks like an unseen part of Cludbreather's Crag.
The houses and the pevementation in particular are both very V.V.-ish.

Am I the only one starting to think that maybe each level is connected with an older skylander? and you can get the parts of those characters by completing the level? it would explain why only some of the older characters' pieces show up in the creation menu. (Spyro, Camo, etc.)

I have to admit, as much as I hate it, I do feel a V.V. vibe from Imaginators.
It just seems like something they would do!

We do know that some legacy Sylanders will appear as NPCs in some levels but not all of them may actually be connected to the level itself like Jet-Vac and Windham.
I'm really curious to see the level structure, especially if we have SuperChargers-like worlds again or if we are back to the older model.

Levels seem pretty diverse and unique and that's already a good sign for me.

I'd prefer to have levels like SF (Except not as long) with plenty of achievements to attempt after you've finished the story. The way it was executed in SC was not only really confusing but also left little room for post-game activities.

Just came across an image and noticed that the newly (?) shown creation screen seems to have a different hud from the one seen after the reveal:



This most likely confirms they are still working on those aspects.
Assuming this is the new one it definitely looks more TfB-ish and original, and also more polished.

There were images that were leaked online that confirmed that this was an earlier version of the game.

Wow that's different. I like it like this though... Also just the pose that that Imaginator is at is hilarious

I knew it came from the same source as the "Skylanders 2016" logo, but thought they just didn't included the true logo inside the game yet.

That's a pity for me, I actually prefer the old one a bit more even if the more recent is still nice.
Hope they'll improve it even more before the release and hopefully before E3 as well.

Do we actually know when exactly we get to see Skylanders at E3? I really don't wanna miss the hype and more importantly; a new profile pic since others seem to be quicker with saving, cropping and uploading their avatars.

Bowslinger is more generic, and it could possibly mean alternate attacks where the bow itself is a weapon? Just speculating here.

*squints at the weird north europe town picture* I THINK there's a Yeti on the picture. Look at the door of the nearest house. The robe reminds me of the Yeti Councillor but TFB might be getting too friendly with VV's concepts to take him out of Woodburrow.

The cardboard cutout at the empty town also doesn't seem to be Wolfgang at all. He doesn't have the spikes on the back and the eyebrows are huge.

Bowslinger sounds better, IMO.

Agreed, they probably just went with Bowslinger because it sounded cooler and more threatening.
