I know this is a minor detail and most of you probably don't care about it, but look at 6:50. That spot where the gem is had a chest in most demo videos. Seems to me like they're bringing back the idea of gems in spots with previously earned collectables from SF. I always liked it because it makes the levels feel much less empty and it doesn't potentially reward you with crap like XP and Stardust from random chests in SC.

That Gem idea was also present in SSC, but to a smaller degree.

Either way, the VV influence is strong in this game.

I'll say, TFB copied VV's Spyro jumping animation instead of keeping their unique one from Trap Team.

It seems like they are building this gameplay from the ground up. Unlike just a direct copy like SSA to SG or SSF to SSC. Looks like they are trying to make legitimate progress this time

Well, I think there's a justification for Crash's lack of belt yet still being a Sensei.

Villains are Senseis, and they don't have belts because they already have set designs. It's the same for Crash; he has a set design already being a previously extant character, so he shouldn't have a belt.

10-11 Reformed Villain Senseis, 19-20 Gold Belt Senseis, 1 Guest Star Sensei. Total: 30-32

But hey, why stick to one number when you can have conflicting ones, right?

I hope we get some new leaks soon. The heat here is killing me and I need something to cheer me up. At least school's almost over.

SC's chapter system was nice on paper but you lost the Academy chapters and the Prologue forever after your first playthrough and it kinda goes against replay value, especially since there'll be some holes in the story even with the cutscene theater.

If they did that again, it should be for levels and levels alone, and keep the important stuff on them.

Does anyone think checkpoints will be back? I really liked that feature in Superchargers, and enjoyed just going straight to boss fights, but then again, there were none shown in the entire level of The Battleship so I think it's a low chance...

They'll most likely bring it back, it was helpful and really why wouldn't you?

My first post

Can you get crash without getting the crash edition or is he exclusive to it?

It's unknown at the moment. Also, please refrain from double posting. Just use the edit button to edit your previous post.

i say its a 99,9% chance for it, just look at the kaos trophy single and donkey/bowser packs they sell now.

Well I guess it's safe to say that after Spyro's Adventure and especially with the addition of Bowser, DK & Crash, the whole "toys to life" aspect from a story perspective is obsolete.

We will get him in a different way, later on, but we still don't know how he'll be released.

Oh, and welcome to !

I'm probably gonna ask if I can buy Crash separately I think he would be $25 because the starter pack is 75.

If not, I'll just buy him off eBay

Not really.

Those three are all guest-stars coming from other universes for various reasons, and thus follow different rules.
The only unexplained toyfication was the SuperChargers and vehicles' but this doesn't mean they won't motivate it this year (which I honestly hope).

Anyway, found another creation video:



I think there are some yet unseen Skylanders-inspired parts, such as Grila Drilla and Boom Jet's heads and even some new ones (I think they added more eye types) which I've never seen mentioned before.
There are also a couple locked parts, unlocked by either Creation Crystals or Imaginite Chests; no new names, unfortunately.

The Jawbreaker head is called Brutebot head... I wonder if these are actual species names or just puns? Would be nice if it was the former, but it might not apply to everyone so I'll wait for set names before making any conclusions.

crash edition can now be pre-ordered at best buy

Considering the Fryno head is just called "Helmet Hair", I doubt the heads relate to their species.

Scratch's tail is "Feathercat Tail", which is a species name if I've ever seen one. But yeah I'll wait for at least pictures of full sets.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet some pieces will retain to a character's species, not all though... Like I doubt Punk Shock's species is called Fish Fatale.

and if it is then i hope the scientist who came up with that got fired

Still just waiting for a poster leak. Still just waiting for a online retail leak. Still just waiting for a character leak. Still just waiting for non-placeholder gameplay. Still just waiting for a character reveal. Still just waiting for...

ANYTHING. ;-;

I honestly wish Activision/Toys for Bob would reveal characters on their official website like Nintendo did for Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS: revealing a character once a month. To reveal all new characters before the release, they would have to reveal one character every 4-5 days, which would be great to keep forumers interested. But, of course, since when do big video game companies pay attention to forums not owned by them? *sigh*

To be fair, they said WAAAAY more in these two events than what we knew about SC last year. Troll Radio, two levels(Cloud Kingdom galore back then), both Battle Gongs and Shrines,a boss battle... But you really can see that Acti is trying to hold TFB back from saying things that to them are probably no big deal, but can be used as ****new cool thing!!111!*** next convention.

I wish they would do it like last time, where they leaked Gearshift and Krypt King and made Torch just appear out of nowhere. The next event is too far away, I need news to keep me alive :C

One character reveal per week would've been nice. Oh well.

I too am hoping for some leaks. Mostly for speculation purposes.

I think the game they did best with revealing news was Swap Force, in my opinion. They smoothly revealed/leaked characters overtime rather than waiting month(s) at a time to reveal the next big news. But, there's nothing saying they'll do that for Imaginators. I guess we just have to be... as hard as it is... patient. *gives stern look at mirror*

I think Luminous was right, after all. I think what was revealed at E3 is what will be in Wave 1, with the addition of some more crystals, and possibly more figures.

hopefully SDCC yields fruit.

Is it bad that the thing I'm looking forward the most (besides the poster, of course) is the packaging...?
I'm dying to know Imaginators' color since it was revealed and that could be the only way to have a proper confirmation, just like with SuperChargers.

You're right. Now it's less likely that Ember will be Wave 2 than 1 tbh.

Finally! Someone agrees with me!

Almost everything revealed at E3 is in Wave One, look at previous years.

there's still that chance though, Ember looks wave 2 to me

But even so, TRU has wave 2 on day 2 of every game

I agree that she LOOKS Wave 2, but I now think she'll be Wave 1 for sure.

My bets are everyone revealed at the beginning of the month and E3 will be Wave 1.

I think for Wave One, we should get at least one crystal per element on Day One. Also, will their be pre-order bonuses this year? I wanted to pre-order the Crash Pack from Toys R Us today and before I go away to another country for a bit, but I decided to wait. Do you think they'll be a thing this year, because they weren't really last year. I'm kind of expecting an exclusive crystal from somewhere, like they did with Trap Team. Whatever store does that I pro-order the Crash Pack from.

no way they will release anything light or dark on day one

*Start of rant*
I know that Yroc said not all the villains were Doom Raiders, but I really don't understand why they would do that. They have 10 perfect villains to use, all with their movesets basically cut out for them. I don't see why they wouldn't use these characters that would be so easy to make full on Skylanders. Also, what villains are their really for them to use? Moneybone, Cluck, Mesmeralda, Stratosfear, Spellslamzer and Shellshock are all owned by VV. Why would TFB uses characters that aren't theirs when they already have the Doom Raiders, who are perfect for the roles of the Villain Senseis. Also, the clear elements of characters like Mesmeralda, Frightbeard and Spellslamzer (Magic), Moneybone (Undead) and Cluck and Shellshock (Tech) are already taken. Sure, I'd be all for figures of characters like 'ol Slammy, Stratosfear, Mesmeralda and Moneybone, but it just wouldn't make sense to me. This is coming from someone who really wants to see Stratosfear in this as the Air villain.
*Rant over.*

That would be a dream come true for many of us, but at this point, something like that would be a miracle that's almost impossible.

I'm on the fence about believing him on it

He has a past of lying after all


I also remember Lou saying all the villains are from TT and it makes much more sense lore wise as well. They have all been trapped and are redeeming themselves, why would the villains from the other games be redeeming themselves if they weren't trapped, therefor, still on the loose. Maybe he mean't villains as NPCs?

Well, it's not like characters created by either of the teams can only be used by them.
That would limit possibilities quite a bit.

I do understand what you are saying though and I perfectly agree; however, think about it for a second.
How many Doom Raiders do we have?
7.
How many Elements exsist?
10.

I think we will get the remaining Doom Raiders, plus Luminous, Nightshade and Pain-Yatta (which are unofficial Doom Raiders).
That way, what devs said would still be true.

It's pretty funny how far we've come by now. We can tell what wave a Skylander is just by looking at it, and we're usually close to being right! Magic skylanders don't count though; those are always at least wave 3.

Um, Sea Shadow and Dark creation crystal were/are day one.

Gameplay wise, Luminous and Nightshade are Doom Raiders, they're just not part of the main team of Doom Raiders.

when was the next time we would get more new info about imaginators?

I doubt Dreamcatcher will be used, to be honest. She doesn't have arms, so she can't really hold the weapons. I know she can make objects float, but that would be awkward to put into figure form.
