This is probably going to be the most retarded comment on the forum, but I think they removed Battle Mode from Trap Team because of the new Villain mechanic, and how they only have Timers and stuff. And they removed it from SuperChargers because they wanted to focus more on racing. There's no reason why Imaginators shouldn't have it as well, unless technology reasons because the game is bigger than ever before with the creation system..

The only reason I can think would be because of Imaginators... But even then they could make it like Smash 4 did online, where as playing online with strangers has some restrictions (like no Eon's Elites or Imaginators), but no real rules when playing with friends. Assuming battle mode is indeed back and online, that is.

The Imaginators are weak they should restrict senseis or just restrict eon's Elite
But that's my opinion

There is a good reason: some of us would rather have the heroics return first.
Those were cool.
And no, they don't need nearly 150 heroics. They only need 31/32.
Only the new figures get heroics in Giants, so...

I wish they would bring back bonus missions. Finding a new bonus mission was always the best feeling.

Grave Clobber?! What the...is he Water now? Geez Louise!

Also it looks like the bazookers will be Air and Fire, so there goes my hope for a Tech or Magic bazooker...I'll need to rethink my lineup now.

Actually I think he's Water for some stupid reason

Why for the love of Eon is Grave Clobber water? He didn't even make sense as an earth villain in Trap Team but it certainly fits him better than water. They seriously better give us a good explanation now that they've reassigned 3 villains to different elements.

It looks like Aurora's a Light element character, so I was actually right with my first guess on her. But is the yeti guy also Light? I think so. And we have our second Life sensei here, so that means the Cyclops bowslinger must be Dark. So this proves Light and Dark wont be getting gypped.

Any guesses on what Air Strike and Starcast species might be?

I wonder if they'll keep up the duality theme with Light and Dark.

Aurora: 2 weapons (Swashbuckler) VS
Hood Sickle: 2-ended weapon (Sentinel)
Light and Dark Bowslingers

Starcast is an obvious Ninja name, and it looks like he has golden throwing stars (sound familiar? ;3), which works as a counterpart to the melee version of small weapons: Brawler, which we've speculated through process of elimination is going to be the Light Villain's Battle Class. (Please be Luminous!)

EDIT: Correction, just remembered Aurora's a Swashbuckler, I derped XP

I don't know if I should be happy or simply annoyed like everyone else. I did want Grave Clobber back because I really did like him, but as a water villain!?!?? That has got to be the stupidest change ever.

I'm guessing that Chompy Mage is a smasher since he has his stick and no other weapon, and he did smash with it in Trap Team. So what does that mean for Painyatta? No candy ax? Maybe we won't be getting Painyatta after all.

There is literally no reason at all that can explain why Grave Clobber is water. I bet they won't even explain it in future interviews.

So glad Chompy Mage is back. Guessing Grave Clobber is Water because he's blue, same logic as Tae Kwon Crow. Boom Bloom, Flarewolf, Pit Boss, and Starcast all look sick.

Great beard guy is technically unconfirmed too, and I'd move Crash to the fourth row. But regardless, it's pretty cool seeing the whole roster is almost full I hope we get info on the 11th villain at Gamescom, that's the part of the roster I'm most curious about now. Plus seeing Pain-Yatta.

... I get the feeling there's something else I wanted to mention, but I don't remember what, pff.

Still too early.

If there really is an 11th Villain, the additional Villain and Crash should be put in an 11th column. Life symbol on top, Crash, Villain's Element/Symbol, Villain.

I'm saying it's still too early to say the unknown bearded Sensei is dropped or not. They may keep him in.

Flarewolf and Pit Boss are the most appealing to me from those. They both look pretty cool, and both have my money already. I don't understand why Grave Clobber is water. I would have preferred Cross Crow or Gulper really. As for Chompy Mage, I already expected him. I actually like him, and I'm glad that he got the place.

So that either leaves Pain-Yatta as a Brawler, or a Knight. Or not there at all.

Hey, remember how the leak only showed two Smashers? What if the two there on the poster that were missing characters were actually Battle Classes, not elements?

Also whaaaaat, Grave Clobber? I have to change my roster again? Its only Tussle Sprout or Chomp Chest, and both those guys suck!

These characters all look amazing. My day 1 pick up is going to be a difficult choice (no idea who will be wave 1, especially if they do a SWAP Force again).

Thoughts on the new characters themselves, Pit Boss, Boom Bloom, and Starcast are definitely my favorites. I can't judge on Air Strike yet, I'd need to see a more high quality picture, but he kinda looks like a bug, maybe? He's got mandibles, I think.

Really dissapointed with the Chompy Mage.... oh well... he is gonna be the new shelfwarmer in stores because kids hate him

Sorry, but you're not making any sense. Why can't Pain-Yatta be a Smasher?

Toys for Bob really loves putting stuff in the wrong element lol... how is Grave Clobber water?

Aurora is sorta attractive...
Anyhow Grave Clobber is the worst choice so far... Does he really have a fanbase?

Alright i feel like i should say it but... whoelse regrets buying traps?

the traps became the most useless gimmick of all. Thankfully they were all about 6 dollars retail.
But if you were just getting into skylanders I would say not to bother at all with buying traps.
I regret buying them but I assume they are also where I could now actually fully make my money back too.

Pit Boss looks like a snake, anyone else see that?

OHHHHHHHHHH, THEY LISTENED!
My oh my this should get up some hype, it certainly did for me.
So Grave Clobber's a Water Brawler... he's blue so it probably works. No seriously why? He really doesn't have a huge fanbase and he wasn't that great in TT. I guess he'd make a nice figure but I'm not gonna skip squid girl for him.
Boom Bloom looks really cute, tho since I'm planning on getting Crash & Ambush I don't know if I'll be getting her. I guess I'll have to wait for gameplay and more pics to decide which one I'll be getting.
Chompy Mage, well, we all saw it coming. I guess he's a Knight? I'm not getting him that's for sure.
Flare Wolf looks awesome and cute at the same time, he might be one of my favorites. Seems like I'll be skipping Tea for him.
Air Strike... meh. Looks like a blue Fryno without a horn and the name is anything but creative. Though I'm glad that he isn't that great since I want both Wild Storm and Bad Juju.
Mysticat is slightly disappointing. He doesn't really look like a cat but more like a monkey. I hope that better pics will change that, though I'm getting him nevertheless.
Pit Boss looks strange. He seems to be some lizard crocodile thingy with a hoodie. I'll wait for more until my final judgement.
Aurora looks beautiful, we finally get a female Light Skylander again. I guess they wanted to switch it up this year, which makes perfect sense.
And lastly Starcast. Well, for a Darklander he doesn't look too impressive. Though I'm sure that he will be awesome when we see more.

Wow, that's a lot.
Onto the Class predictions!

Grave Clobber: Brawler (no doubt)
Boom Bloom: Ninja (Is in a ninjay pose)
Chompy Mage: Knight (not sure since I don't see a sword)
Flarewolf: Bazooker (you can clearly see it)
Air Strike: Bazooker (pure guessing)
Mysticat: Quickshot (he seems to be holding something in both hands and it looks like two guns)
Pit Boss: Sorcerer (I don't know)
Aurora: Swashbuckler (confirmed)
Starcast: Ninja (basically confirmed too)

Has anybody tried getting artwork from the website? Obviously a few of their reveals are on their way

Gulper, Threadpack and Chill Bill lose to this guy out of everyone.

Well.. It'd say that's a wrap, but we actually have a few guys left to find.
I can't be dishonest to bae, I always loved Grave Clobber. However, we have 4 Undead in the same villain roster, which is kinda stupid even if they all vary greatly in design. We also saw his gauntlets waaay back at the start but never thought to much of it.
With the rest, can't say much, just faces isn't enough to me, but Aurora is looking nicer and nicer.

PIT BOSS AND GRAVE CLOBBER YAAAAAAY

i hope Aurora is wave 2 and Toysrus has her early like they normally do with Wave 2.

I expect Aurora in Wave 4 the earliest!
Also, does Barbella have a Light background?

Also, GC breaks the Racing theory. Seems like TFB is doing the same mistake as VV and doing their favorites rather than hours, though thankfully they're smarter than to put everyone but who we wanted.

SO, Flarewolf lookes like a Cannonier, Starcast is a Ninja, Pit Boss is a Swashbuckler (?), Grave Clobber is a Knight and mayhbe Airstrike is a Brawler. Can anyone else determine what class the new guys are in?

Barbella isn't Earth colored... yeah. She's either Tech or Light because she shares the color with Aurora and Krankcase... how come? Unless this is old artwork.

I believe Pit Boss is a quickshot

I'm think Swashbuckler, it looks like he's holding two weapons in each hand that look like axes or something. Besides, we already have a snake with two guns, anther would be too similar.
