Well, we know that is just artwork. But we discussed the palm trees and stone statues didn't feel Wumpa Island-y, but now we know it's associated with him.

I sure hope we'll get to see a new class for Imaginators, preferably Swashbuckler. I know the "Djinni" name in the early version confirmed no legs, but I can't see the buff bearded Tech guy as a Djinni. Just imagine him having a giant body that's comparable to Tree Rex and then just a small djinni tail like Persephone

He doesn't have to have a tail like that, though. He could have a wheel like Magna Charge's.

I doubt Sensei serves as actual indications for Battle Classes features, except for the weapons of course.

The only legless Sensei we have so far is Ember and she is a Sentinel.
I do think they could find a way to make the Tech Swashbuckler have a unique lower part: maybe a mechanical tail made of gears or an energy beam to keep him floating.

As for the Djinni-Swashbuckler thing, I think there's a reason why they changed the name: they probably had that genie-like tail concept in mind for them, but might have found it too restrictive and decided to go with dual wielding only instead.

That head looks like a mix of Food Fight's and those pirate squid enemies.

Another look at the snow level,too. We already have a Squidface head though, this is just Food Fight but with more tentacly hair.

Looks like the Food Fight head with some weird bumpy texture on the head. I guess that means the texture option is true.

Also what even is that thing.

A squid alien pirate man with a fish for a weapon?

Your imagination truly is the limit in this game.

I think he looks pretty cool but I want a better look at swashbucklers!

Actually, don't know if the textures option is back (surely hope so) but we've already seen that head in the editor.
It looks like the pirate squid enemies from Trap Team, as other have said.

And I think it was created to celebrate Portugal's victory at the European Championship, at least that's what the description on the italian Facebook page said.
He's wearing red after all!
They probably had one for France as well, just in case.

Yup, their facebook's saying that Portugal's skills would be useful for the Skylanders.

*slams fist on wood*NO SKYLANDERS SPORTS PLEASE.

The Pirate Henchmen from Trap Team are living algae I'm pretty sure, Bucktooth the Tiny from TT3DS is called a plant.
Squidfaces are from SSA, they're these guys:


But as I said,we've seen their head in the Crash trailer and the demos already, must be default.

Whatever it is it's in this video, at 1:10, right next to the Stormblade-like head:



There may be other videos where they actually show the name or even use it, but I'm already glad I found this one rather easily.

Quote: Bionichute

Apparently the crates he summons just sometimes randomly spawn extra lives, and since it's his main gimmick, I'm guessing they'll be there from the start.

I believe the crates are his third attack. Aura would be able to confirm this as she played as him at E3.

I don't know, my hunch says the tertiary is the slide attack. "Signature moves"(say, Sonic Boom's babies, Hex's Rain of Skulls) are almost always the secondary attack, first being the one you're most likely to mash if it's not the signature move, tertiary being the extra.

This guy seems to have been to the E3 booth late, he has a lot of stuff unlocked including some weird mutated ears and Bat Spins's.

*skips a few mnore seconds* HOLY CRAP PROTOTYPE BUMBLE BLAST'S CHEST
WANT

The quickshot constellation is different! That could explain why water quickshot isn't body less!

Darn, I can't find the Groot Bumble Blast concept art anymore to compare, it's pretty much that chest.

This one?

Aaaaand there goes my hope for Ninja body type being available for all Classes.
It's been nice 'till it lasted.

To be fair I think that chest is actually a basic lava golem torso, but with the right coloring it can become Bumble Blast prototype, a weird quicksilver being or even a stone and water elemental.
Colors are truly powerful when it comes to creation.

Yeeeesss that's the one. The chest with the 'new' tag is pretty much that though bigger, I don't think it's lava it's yellow with some holes from what I can see.

Quote: Drawdler

I like how the Bushwack Chest looks nothing like him and is more reminicent of TMNT.

YESSS I CAN MAKE MY NINJA TURTLE SKYLANDER!!!
Provided Ninjas aren't limited to Trigger Happy bodies...
On that note, I still wouldn't say one or the other until it's officially confirmed.
I'm growing a bit more worried about it too, but honestly, I don't see why they would limit Ninjas to that one body type.
Especially when we've had Ninja characters in the past with regular humanoid shapes (Stink Bomb, Lob-Star...)

EDIT: Something I noticed in the GhostRobo video, there's a chest called the "Shinobi Chest"... Shinobi as in Ninjas. I'm not saying this confirms all body types for Imaginators, just thought it was worth pointing out.
EDIT 2: AND you can actually select "None" for voices! That'll come in handy if you wanna make Imaginators based on mute characters.

Dammit. Just because they switched it...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TFB FOR RUINING MY CREATIONSSSS ))

Oh, they will.

Another strange creature from Twitter:

I just realized he has a fish in his hand. IT'S A HOLY MACKERAL!!!!!

Finally, I can rest easy knowing that this joke has appeared.

Only 10 more days until news guys! They do a really god job preventing leaks this year... this could be considered either good or bad.

Good, because it will keep things less spoiled, but bad because the hype goes downhill.

I wish they could find a way to release informations properly.
The concept of Imaginators helps, and this is proven by all the characters which are posted by the Facebook and Twitter profiles: thanks to that we get to know new parts and even get a peek at rather unknown Classes.

That being said I wish they could at least reveal Senseis regularly, like what they kinda did with Trap Team.
Nothing too drastic, just one every two weeks or so.
Pokémon is apparently doing so with Sun and Moon and it really pays off, with excited fans eager to know and see more.

Not asking for levels, nor for big news, but with a series such as Skylanders who has been around for 6 years you'd think revealing characters through socials would be a no-brainer.

I totally agree. If they just regularly revealed characters like they did in TT it would maintain the hype and they wouldn't really have to show much gameplay, but there's really only 6 characters revealed so far (7 if you count Crash) and the hype is dead for me

Yeah, but unlike SC we have more figures. You'd think they'd keep it proportional, 10 per month to make 30. We'll get our roster leak eventually and after 4 times in a row there's nothing they can do about it.

I remember those guys, they were a pain to beat

Cool double helix pattern sword, feather ears, niiice.

Are those Fiesta's legs, minus his belt?

I believe so.

That armor is pretty sweet too.
Is that the tomato Imaginator's head (the Chompy one maybe)?
Looks like it's perfect for fruits.

They're avoiding new classes on purpose, aren't they?

Peacock tail confirmed.
And I think those are Fiesta's arms too.
Also what is that supposed to be for?
Like the Ninja one was for Canada Day and the green eyeball one was for... tennis... or something.

Uhhhh... National Rainier Cherry Day? That's the only thing that fits today. Maybe someone at TfB really likes cherries.

It's national 7/11 day, but what that has to do with oranges and stuff, I don't know.

Wait...

The colors of that Imaginator are primarily red, green and orange...



......Should we expect an Imaginator for National Banana Split Day too?

The Skylanders PR is really picky with each useless day they use during pre-release times. I think they ignored Talk Like a Pirate day for 3 years straight then finally used it for Trap Team and SuperChargers.

Also is this chatacter kind of hunched? I can't tell what the torso looks like but I guess it's one of the hunched ones .

More delicious E3 direct feed from Yroc. Doesn't seem like it's the same one as before but considering Lou is with him it'll probably not have full menus, much less a new Soul Gem.

At least Lou isn't being secretive and explains that Manage is used for debugging for now. We wouldn't know about recreating Imaginators removing all their info or not even if someone stumbled into it.
Plus new undead ability, you can turn enemies into health and unleahs a virus.

"Certain items and weapons that only work for certain classes"

**** chances are not on our side.

The more we see the more disappointing it gets. They could've just given everyone the same body type which everyone wanted, but no, ruin several designs by turning Ninjas into walking heads and Swashbucklers into djinnis! This is outrageous and I'm really disappointed. This game may not be as great as it seemed at first.

It won't be ruined for me because it's one third of actual game at the most, but I'll definately not invest in creation crystals as much. It's not just an issue of 8 classes being locked out of 2 special models, it's the opposite as well.

I don't mind the Swashbucklers, just the Ninjas.

We still don't have any confirmation how Ninjas work yet though. For all we know it could be a feature for all Imaginators.

Lou saying items, not just weapons, being exclusive to classes is starting to turn that the other way though.
