Also, this is more fanfic fuel than anything,but one of the artists in Battlecast implied in the process of one of the Smash Hit cards that girders are not a thing in Skylands, or at least most of it. Thought it'd be of note.

It's sincerely beyond me how girders aren't a thing in Skylands, but hi-tech vehicles and machinaries are but... Ok?
Guess Monstrous Isles' buildings weren't builded that way, then.

Still a nice trivia.

Definitely.
There's more Adventure Time in Skylands than what meets the eye, in terms of settings.

Drill-X's Big Rig does have girders(but chock-full of bolts instead of the ones we have IRL), so it's probably a luxury of Tech-enhanced areas or species such as the Trolls.
It'd be actually a really cool plot point to have conflict between them and areas that end up underdeveloped because the residents didn't land in a lucky spot - Mabu ARE shown to be pretty racist to Trolls and TFB got away with that clean somehow. But probably too political for the series : P

n wonder boomer's been on hiatus

WHAT?!

Quigley isn't allowed to talk to Boomer and Snuckles calls trolls "stinky bridge-dwellers", and considering that Trolls WERE bridge-dwellers at some point(yeah suicidal millitaristic group is an improvement for them) it's very much a G-rated slur.

It would be interesting to see Mabu under a different light more often.
Sometimes I happen to remember the stare Blobbers gave you at the end of Cutthroat Carnival: the disturbing music used for that moment made it rather frightening.

I just took a look at the Wiki (thanks for everyone who helps improving it, really, would like to contribute myself but definitely can't in this period) and it seems like Mab Lobs kinda is an alternate reality version of Blobbers but I think this still isn't enough.
I personally would really like if he became an actual villain in our dimension.

They definitely don't have to make Mabu and Trolls either absolutely bad or good but they should definitely show their conflicts a bit more, explaining their motivations.

To be fair, that one was just a silly dramatic moment. In Know-it-All Island he's pretty much forgiven you and gotten himself into trouble again.
But it'd be nice to see Mabu that are more than animated exposition signs or damsels in distress. They're pacifists by nature but with people like the Water Dragon around(who's willing to beat the crap out of the Skylanders themselves if they betray him), we know they don't have to follow that to a T.

It seems so, but I guess only if Crash's a Skylander, cause I don't think they'd give a crap about Skylanders otherwise.

highly doubt anything will come out of EA Play, but i'm watching just incase.

(gotta get my titanfall 2 scoop, yo)

*Slams table so hard it breaks in two.*

THEORY TIME!

So Lex Lang, the voice actor for Cortex in Crash Twinsanity, posted this recently:



Everyone thinks that this could mean a new Crash game, but what if it means something else? What if it means Cortex is also in the Starter Pack as the 11th Villain, and Lang is voice acting him for the game? Hey, it's possible.

Hmmm.... A doctor, devil, and droid/AI? Idk...

Quote: PwnageFTW

I mean, the doctor he's referring to could be Cortex.

That's a good point... he could be sneaky so that he doesn't just flat out say Cortex

Scientist voice for Imaginators?

First thing that comes to mind, stupid I know.

Quote: PwnageFTW

That's what I'm saying. And also, he said it was "Throwback," meaning he's voiced this character before. I might be wrong, but I think the only doctor he's voiced is good old Cortex.

So I assume that Crash and Cortex would replace King-Pen & Golden Queen, if that's the case I'm not buying it, I need mah golden waifu!

there's a thing called eBay.

You haven't seen Spitfire going for as expensive as a new vehicle then.

Seems to me all Spitfires on ebay are 10 - 15 dollars.

As expensive as a new vehicle, just like I said. Other Starter Pack characters go for waaay cheaper but he's way harder to find loose because of the guest stars and Dark Edition getting everyone's attention over regular starter packs.

Quote: Bifrost

literally only 2 more dollars

2 more dollars is 6 to 8 bucks for me nowadays, ever since it got discontinued in Brazil I have to value every cent. Even got a broken Spitfire myself that I could fix with superglue that was only a few dollars lower but the different is waaay bigger to me.

Yroc said something about news tomorrow. The comment got deleted (ndas probably) but still

The press just can't help leaking stuff, even after the Imaginators reveal "fiasco" by one of their own that were chosen?

Lex Lang hinting at voicing Cortex again says more about a new Crash game than Cortex being in Skylanders. Because he isn't

We know there are only 31 figures, it's either gonna be King-Pen and Crash, or Golden Queen and Crash.

Just thought I should point this out... It was in the description of the Ember gameplay video...

While Skylanders Imaginators is all about creating your own custom characters, they’d be nothing with Sensei characters to show them the way and give Activision new figures to sell. We’ll be seeing a lot of new faces during E3 this week, including Ember, the fire-based Sensei of the Sentinel class.

Maybe we'll see more then just the Life Sensei, Ember and Wolfgang...

I thought the same, but maybe they were referring exactly to them since they still haven't been "officially" revealed.

At least a guest-star is pretty much confirmed by now, so I'd add it to the count.
I'm also sincerely hoping to see more of the Water and Air Senseis.

Same here! It could signify that they are in Wave One or Two.
I'm still believing that Ember and the other two from the picture are Wave One. I BELIEVE.

As you can see by looking at my avatar, I used to believe as well.
It didn't help.

This quote makes no sense. It says "they'd be nothing with Sensei characters to show them the way..." So, do we really want the Sensei if they are nothing with them. Seems like they should have said they would be nothing without them. Who wrote this quote?

Looks good, but no so good to get him at launch. Gonna wait for all senseis to be revealed and take a decision.

What is true though is that some of ambush attacks are visually beautiful.

That's such a great name!

It's interesting that Ambrush's name and skychi attack are assassin-esque, but he's a knight instead of a ninja. It seems to be that weapon class is purely defined by what weapon is used, and not battle style.

I think that's a good thing, as it allows more variety within a single class.

i totally love this one, gonna be a favorite for sure

He's cool and has a great name and sky chi attack which makes him look like he's the one who adopted and trained stealth elf .

Here's Ambush's artwork:



Really looking forward his backstory as well, absolutely loving the idea of a fast and stealthy Knight.
Ninjas apparently use long ranged weapons, at least judging by the Class selection screen.

If he uses Baamboo, he should have been a Panda! But I like him anyways!

zook have bamboos too so this is cool

One of the things that are bothering me the most with Imaginators is the size of the figures.
They apparently are big for the sake of being big: King Pen and Tri-Tip seemed quite huge in-game, but Ember and Ambush look the size of an average Skylander.

Yet their figures are unnecessarily big, especially the bases.
Sure, this way they can be better detailed but it really doesn't make much sense...
