if traps are being talked like this, then there's no chance of yawn traps at this rate.

Lore's kind of dead in Skylanders now that you can have Jet-Vac talking to Jet-Vac. And if you can have the villains fight themselves in Trap Team, I don't really see why this should stop Kaos from getting a figure. Of course there are ways around this that wouldn't effect the lore...

1. The Kaos we get is the Mirror of Mystery counterpart of Kaos, who has come to help the Skylanders against his real world self.
2. The Kaos we get is a clone of Kaos which is good.

But to be honest, I'm not fond of either of those ideas. I'd rather have a Kaos figure and have the lore messed up instead of not having one at all. I've waited too long for a Kaos figure. I need one - a proper one. Just one.

If Kaos is the "11th villain" so to speak, then I think this may actually be the last game to have him as a villain... Unless VV comes up with some stretched out reason.

I actually believe it won't be because I think malefor will become a main antagonist before long

I really don't think they would pump money into a new cartoon just to kill the series off right after. At worst the series will just take a one year break or whatever. But I doubt even that will happen.

A year long break might be good for the game in general, honestly.

I agree. With just one extra year, Vicarious Visions remade the entire gameplay of the series, and also remade all of the characters. If they did that with Swap Force, I'm sure that they can do again, even if the roster is much larger than before.

There's been talk of a Kaos figure since Giants . So they've probably had a game lore idea in mind for years . Wether that be making a new main villain or whatever we'll have to wait she see.

I'm hoping it's something more interesting/ unexpected then a Kaos figure though. The elements are already uneven thanks to crash, so I don't see why it might not be another guest star or villain.

I would like a Kaos figure, but it feels wrong having him as a figure as sensei . But that's how I feel about all the villains I spose. I wanted them to remain villainous... Not be brainwashed/bargained into being good.

Hm, what if, by using the Mind Magic he got, Kaos accidentally creates a villain more threatening, evil villain than himself?

I'm thinking that'll be the case, at least for the boss of this game.

maybe Kaos uses his mind magic to create lots of copies of him self. And that's how we get access to Kaos figures.

I can imagine a comical scene with a room filling up with Kaos' lol

Sales for Skylanders are dwindling. Skylanders Academy has been in the works for a while now, presumably under the pretense that Skylanders would still be selling extremely well. It's not like it's been in the works only since the announcement; it's likely been in the works for at least a year. Most definitely before SC was even released. So the fact that Academy is coming doesn't mean it can't be the last game.

I can definitely see them making this a grand finale before jumping ship. Even if it wasn't planned to be the last game initially, the sales will most likely go down even more. I think this will indeed be the last hoorah for this franchise.

Wait I have an idea. What if the Kaos figure activates a level or a mode that allows you to be a dark portal master? When you put him on the portal it automatically switches to dark mode and allows you to go through the level(s) fighting the skylanders?

I think sales could go up as they don't have that stupid £12.99 price. Seriously, getting a £10 imagnite crystal as a kid by saving up for 2 weeks is easier than saving up for 3 weeks for a Supercharger core (presuming it's £5 a week). Those figures weren't big enough to justify the price, nor special enough. It was pretty much a core figure. But the imagnite crystals also act as a core, so the price is right. I'm glad they fixed it this year.

They wouldn't ever do that, it'd be too good a thing to be in a Skylanders game.

vv now without the bala brothers can have a surprise up their sleeve, that can shake up things and blow wind in the sales... just have patience and wait.

I still doubt they would get rid of Kaos as a villain for good, because that's what having him in figure form would mean.

Skylanders are the only characters who get sent on Earth, and once they are frozen you can call them back in any moment (personal speculation on how figures work): would be kinda awkward if Kaos was in his Castle, preparing a new plan to conquer the Skylands and all of sudden he got teleported to the Academy, surrounded by many Skylanders ready to make him change his mind.

Not to mention he's a Portal Master, just like us, and he's already proven to be able to break out of figure form; would that mean we would be able to play as him only in this game, because in the next one he would just not work anymore...?
Nope, that's a bad idea.

As dumb as it may sound, I think that's what happen with traps: Kaos escaped his own, so why should the other villains remain?
And BOOM, traps are nearly useless.
Don't think it would be nice to have the same happening to a proper Skylander.

With all the contradicting informations I decided to stick to my personal view: 31 Senseis, 20 Skylanders, 10 reformed villains and one guest-star.
This is what I think until proven wrong.

I mostly agree,

Also , i just think it's unlikely to have a Kaos figure revealed now simply because it's underwhelming compared to the reveal of the crash figure. I'd think they'd want a real Kaos figure to be the highlight of the game , but he's just over shadowed by crash now.

And Despite me wanting a Kaos figure, I don't want him to be a skylander. I really don't like the concept of " turned good " villains.

Villains should've been their own figure type, but now they arnt any different to Skylanders .

Neither do I, traps were a much better way to handle villains and make them unique, in my opinion.
But they made it clear that all the reformed villains have actually became Skylanders so it still doesn't break any technical rule.

But having Kaos becoming a Skylander after years fighting them directly... It just wouldn't sound right.
Not to mention he's at the Academy as an ally, as of now, but I doubt he would go into the rehabilitation program like the other ones (he actually immediately took the change to try and conquer the Skylands again when he saw it, apparently).
Unless he teamed up with the Skylanders to fight his own Doomlanders which is possible, but unlikely.

Oh god, the salt is gonna rain.

As for the two years break thing, I think VV could make one of the best games in two years, but I personally would leave it as it is. I really lost a lot of interest in Skylanders after SC (of course not to a point of not caring about the next game) since I really didn't have anything to do, so I fear that after two years I wouldn't be as hyped as now.

I could except the "team up " again, if they locked his figure use till after level 15 or something. As why I liked the traps in trap team coz you had to beat story mode first to use him.

Ooooo or if you needed to have a certain high portal master rank to control Kaos , I would be fine with that.

Yep. I spent waaaaaaaaaay to much time on this.

What a cool idea seeing these Light Elements compete against each other!

Come to think of it, a Kaos figure probably would be too much. I'm just assuming he'd be the most likely choice for the "11th villain" since we've been able to play as him in some form the last two games. It seems this year we've been getting a lot more contradictory info than previous games. But, personally I'm going to join Drek in the "20 Senseis + 10 Villains + Crash" boat now.

went through an older video and





eyyy?

Tri trip mace too

Painyatta's candy thing?

Guys, I'm quite sure that the Sensei don't unlock Weapons. None of them have so far.

But if they do... R.I.P. Luminous35. Didn't get Luminous as a villain.

Odd how it's called Blast Sword.... PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME TFB. PLEASE.

That's definitely Pain-Yatta's lollipop, you can tell because it isn't perfectly round.

However, he should wield an axe according to the sources.
Would be cool if reformed villains unlocked their former weapons, though (Golden Queen aside, of course).

And I don't see Tri-Tip's weapon. The only thing Tri-Tip unlocks is his triceratops headpiece.

Tri-Tip's weapon is the silhouette beneath the bone club next to the selected Fireman's Axe.

Yup, and there is also a frying pan like the one used by the yellow squid reptile in the Crash reveal trailer.

I noticed a katana in the Blast Sword image... Take Kwon Crow?

Well, he doesn't unlock his own sword if it is his sword. PortalPowerTV went into the Imaginite Chests option and all he got was Ambush's Headpiece.

Heres what the characters unlock so far.


King Pen: Warriors Ponytail (Headgear)

Tri-Tip: Forehead Fossil (headgear)

Ambush: Grass Helmet (headgear)

Golden Queen: Pharaoh's Pride (headgear)

Wolfgang: Wolfgang Legs (legs)

Crash: Crash Arms (arms)

Nothing found for Ember yet, unless she unlocks part of the Samurai set. Maybe were getting multiple Samurai Sensei?

Quote: Drawdler

Actually, Ambush's sword is there too.

Yep, the problem is we still don't know which Senseis' parts are unlocked by them and which are found in Imaginite Chests (I think that's part of the second category, if I remember correctly).

I also think that only locked parts give the "awarded by" message.

As for Ember, I did saw her weapon used by an Imaginator in the reveal trailer but at this point it seems like Senseis unlock armor pieces or body parts,instead of weapons.

Regardless if they want this to be the last game or take a few years off then I'd really like them to make some HD remakes of the first two skylander games. Let all skylanders and Imaginators play, a few new Elemental zones and if they want to add in maybe two new figures a Light and Dark Giant.

Underwater levels?

That's just the mushroom level from E3. However, those are some nice camera pans, if we don't get good Achievement pictures these could be nice for the wiki later.

Just looks like Island of Monkeys. Though it's interesting to note that the first part of the level seems to be inside a giant cave. I don't think we've ever seen a level inside of a cave

Makes me wonder... how much freedom will we get with the selfie camera? We haven't really seen anyone trying to test the limits of that.

That's the level NPC Eruptor will be in.

I'll say it before any creep does. Upskirt photos if zoom and spin have enough range. Almost too sure Acti will put black holes on dresses like some characters in Smash Bros. because someone's gonna do it.

It looks like it can be at any angle besides where the camera was naturally facing. At least from what I can tell, it looks like the camera can't pan 100% around your character. I'm really excited to get really awesome action shots.

Of course someone's going to be that immature

I was thinking about zooming out and moving the camera away for some awesome level overview shots!
