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...

Sizing is one of my issues, but I think after Superchargers all bets are off on sizing.

So... I wonder who else was revealed at E3... probably Wolfgang too right?

kinda disappointed Ambush was not ninja over knight also his Sky Chi attack is not what I expected but he still he seems like a must buy.

That's true, SuperChargers' figures were unnecessarily big as well but that was mostly because of the Rift Engines under them: the characters themselves were more or less the size of a Core, even if their poses made them look slightly bigger.

At least they were still around the size of Swappers: correct me if I'm wrong, but Senseis seem to be the same size (if not bigger) than the biggest Trap Masters, way bigger than Swappers.

I was thinking more about the vehicle sizes compared to the figures. Once you create that dissonance in figures sizes, well anything goes.

I don't know if there are nda's right now but do you know if there is anything besides Ember and Ambush?

I can tell you I haven't personally signed any NDAs for this week, but I don't know if Andy has. I'm keeping a close eye on the Sony conference as I'm expecting news, most likely related to Crash. Other than that, other outlets may have exclusives, but they'd all be individual NDAs. I've got some content to review that I've not looked at yet for a video we'll be putting out later today (I think, not 100%). So keep an eye out for that.

Oh, that's very true as well.
It's probably just me liking my characters to be more or less the same size (Giants aside of course).
I'll just pretend they stopped shrinking down at one point because they are soooo powerful.

Looking forward to any news, thanks for everything!

Noticed something interesting in this video:



Ambush's Sky Chi power bar has a different symbol than his Battle Class' one (and is also purple, unlike the golden one shown in earlier footage).
I guess each Sensei will have a unique symbol which reflects their own special moves.

One tiny bit of information, the screen that displays the type of imaginite you've found has had a very minor visual upgrade

That's good, it definitely looked unfinished (and possibly still isn't).

Just a quick question, did you or Andy get the chance of hearing Ambush' catchphrase?
I can only hear part of it from the video, sounds something like "??? and ???!".

Quote: Drawdler

^ Mean/Lean and Green?

Most likely, actually.
Both could suit him well.

Quote: The PokemonMan

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

IKR?! Before he was revealed, I actually had a fanmade character who had bamboo nunchucks and attacks relating to bamboo.
I think he is some sort of an anthropomorphic bamboo tree, though.

In the video, it sounds like Ambush is saying "Weed it and Reap!", plant puns on "read it and weep."

Bamboo doesn't need to be just pandas, they're not the only animals in these forests.

Though I don't really thinik it fits Ambush because he's another tree entirely himself. Isn't there a bamboo lookalike that's way thinner, brownish and with cute tiny bundles of leaves between the shoots? That'd work a lot better for him.

You ninja'd me...again...that's literally what I was just about to say. I was just about to confirm that his catchphrase is "Weed It and Reap!". Like, I heard it without Andy talking over it.

I've got nothing against bamboo, but yeah it just doesn't really suit him and there's so many other options to weaponise plants ( thorns , carnivorous plants , even flowers ) .

I'm hoping the bamboo will upgrade into another plant like zooks did.

Lou mentioned the upgrades just add stuff to bamboo, the plants themselves don't change. Worst part is that the pun is about bushes, and he doesn't even summon them ._.'

^ Yup...their names, I swear...

Hey at least he has some pun about life

Ambush? That is way better than Tree-Key...
Again, he looks cool.

Bamboo doesn't suit him as well as other types of plants, but we've still seen only his basic attacks.
Maybe the bamboo will gain some special properties which will change it heavily as we upgrade it or Ambush himself could gain a bamboo armor.

To be fair, I wonder if more pun-ish names such as Bambush or Amboosh would have suited him better.

Yes! More reveals. The name is good it's a pun and a normal word at the same time and it fits his character, it isn't the best name of all time, but it's certainly better than Ember. His voice also souns great even though it reminds me of Knight Light, same goes for his sword. Gameplay wise he's okay but nothing too special, regular slashes with the sword and just summoning rows and circles of bamboo, he doesn't seem as dynamic as Ember. His Sky-Chi also doesn't look as impressive as the others since it just focuses on a number of enemies while the others we've seen so far are forces of destruction.
Overall I'd give him a 8/10. Good name, great design, okay gameplay. If he's in Wave 1 I'm getting him for sure.

He looks pretty sweet! Nothing too special, but I really love his whole look. If no one cooler is announced I'm certainly getting him!

Here's the toy form and a screenshot:

Ambush looks neat, even if his attacks we've seen so far aren't anything special. His Sky Chi ability looks pretty cool, too.

Solidly on my "Life Character I actually like so should get" list. Of course, assuming I end up getting the game eventually.

You have to justify the $15 per figure SOMEHOW. Remember Giants was the testbed to see if people will pay more for bigger figures. They've done it every year since.

Even though Ambush is an "eh" name... He's really awesome looking. And now we can see his gameplay! Love the sky chi!

Well Senseis also have the Sky-Chi, raise the level cap of Imaginators and give them new upgrades.

He is better than gills! This is officially last Gills post. I move on to Ambush now!

No, don't ruin such a great character.

i hope he's in wave one. i need the gormiti.

That is LITERALLY what I was thinking right before I refreshed! He is a lot similar to a Gormiti type of character. I think I like that about him.

Every character (That isn't a villain) has had some sort of Asian themeing to them, so I wonder if we're going to get some sort of Youkai based Undead character? Maybe have them be based on the Gashadokuro.

YES PLEASE

We really need a giant skeleton Skylander after all these years.

Chop Chop, Krypt King and Fiesta say hi!

No, I mean pure skeleton.

guys it's ambush

The anticipation is burning inside of me. I am seriously excited to see the senseis in the magic and undead elements since we haven't seen even one of hem yet aside from Wolfgang that is.

I'd be up more for a Karakasa tbh, or even have best of both worlds and just have a Jorogumo. I really want a spooky spider Skylander, might as well be a monster girl one(or whatever interpretation they make).

i really wanna see a tech sensei already.

I wouldn't mind a Karakasa-obake Air Skylander, but going by the design choices, it doesn't look like we're gonna get a one legged umbrella anytime soon.

Tsuchigumo/Jorogumo would be pretty easy to do, though.

I want an Undead Skylander based on Medusa a Dark Skylander that fights with his shadow aaaand... Magic could be anything really.

dang guys, now i have like 5 things to google because i have no idea what %95 of these Japanese monsters are!

I want a tech ninja. His shurikens could be gears!

Could be that modern version karakasa that's turned inside out by strong winds, then there's space for arms.

Also, I shouldn't have gone on so long without praising the look of this marsh level. TFB one upped SC really quickly, just look at how detailed everything is, especially the water and lighting.

It could be something like this:
