Also, guys, don't immediately label Cortex a Bazooker. All we know is he has a gun, and while it's one instead of two, he could still be either a Quickshot or a Bazooker. I think it's pretty safe to narrow it down to those two though.

Quickshots have two guns, while Bazookers have an oversized gun.

Just so you know, Yroc just posted a little video on Instagram. In the background on his computer, you can see krankcase's toy form. Nothing much, but I thought I'd share

Krankcase must be at Gamescom then.

THE HYPE IS THROUGH THE ROOF I LOVE CORTEX! I thought it couldn't get any better, but we have Kaos AND Cortex? AHHH (sorry fangirl mode activated) Anyway, looks like I won't be getting GQ day one, my brother can have her instead. Oh man, I just really wasn't expecting this. I need to calm down before I actually say what I think. Woo!

Yroc has something big coming.

Oh ****! It's Dr. Neo Periwinkle Cortex! I've already preordered a Crash Edition, so I'm relieved I won't have to pay extra for him. I'm hoping they'll discuss him at Gamescom. How do we know there's the Kaos preorder bonus is at Gamestop?

He's teasing the image. I don't know if the press are supposed to show ANYTHING skylanders from gamescom yet.

If Krankcase's Toy Form was shown, this means Barbella and Tae too.

Now wheres Cortex...

Not really, it just means that they don't really count, unlike OMG BOWSER MY FAVORITE CHARACTER DID YOU KNOW GUYS SO PLAY AS HIM. We got the 32 normal characters we promised, and gained extras.

Definition wise, its still more misleading, even if it is better.

Well, he and coinoptv got them early and at TFB offices, so I wouldn't be surprised if they talked with Acti about this. Yroc was here to see The8bittheater break NDA firsthand, he'd be careful.

The doctor returns as well, awesome.

So we can expect Krankcase, and probably Barbella and Tae Kwon Crow.

I hope we see Mysticat too... since his Double Pack is probably in Wave One.

At this point I just wanna know what Chompy Mage and Grave Clobber's classes are.

I wanna know the Magic & Techlanders, as Magic seems to be disappointing this year :C

Guys it wasn't Krankcase. We were getting our hopes up

It was an intentional tease regardless. He kept walking around in circles and showing glimpses of a figure we've likely been anticipating.

He should've just shown what was on his screen (a liquified King Pen) with his first video.

I might not be that much of a fan of Crash (even though I like him a lot) but I absolutely adore Cortex.
He's probably been a quite big inspiration for my favorite OC.

Glad he's a guest-star as well, especially since they are treating them as they should, this year.
I'm going with Quickshot for him, even though he only has one gun.
He looks almost identical to his Twinsanity incarnation, from what I can tell.

Love it, love it, love it!

1 (ray?) gun. But remember that Crash has no weapons (bazooka pickup aside), so they might be bending the rules just slightly for the Guest Stars, allowing them to be as close to their original counterparts as possible.

Yes, 1 ray gun :V

Cortex has always had his one trusty Ray Gun... For some reason he didn't have it in the Radical games though...

If only we could see Cortex's symbol...

Why does Golden Queen's look like a yellow blob

Why in the world does he have a scouter? Wonder if that's just the lightning on the picture.
Either way, his title has two lines like Crash, so the ingame name is probably Doctor Cortex. Weird, thought they'd follow the same pattern as Dr. Krankcase.

Technically Crash seems to have hidden brass knuckles in his gloves, but I get what you are saying.

I can kinda make out a round symbol on his base, in that picture: definitely not a Bazooker, from what I can tell.

This is what I see:

Dr. Neo
Cortex

No, the top line has a space between the letters, so it's "Dr. Neo", and then "Cortex" on the bottom line.

And ninja'd XP

Giga, it wasn't Krankcase. We were all looking at it wrong.

Oh okay. I just want to see my mad Doctor

I think I see the space, but for now I think I'll just put wiki protection on all variations before doing anything silly.

Are we sure it wasn't Krankcase and he was teasing us in his second video? I know it's unlikely but what if Activison asked him to take it down because of Krankcase! I even doubt myself right now

It was just a liquified Dark King Pen that Yroc was teasing intentionally, while walking around in circles to thank users for wishing him a happy birthday. It was deleted by SkylandersGame when they thought Yroc was leaking something.

Yes were sure. It didn't even have Krankcase's Tall Hat. I double checked it since it was still on my news feed.

Yroc took it down himself actually.

This might not be true, but does it look like Crash is in a different pose in the starter pack? Or am I just tripping?

He said "#skylanders deleted the other post".

I deleted it myself. Should've put a comma, my bad.

Cortex coming to skylanders what a dream it's excellent for me!

Wait a minute......or yes I feel it coming it's that time again....Prepare for the saltstorm lads it's coming full force!

Well, they COULD this time actually follow up with a new Crash game. Would divert the attention well from 'nyyyeeehh why you put my childhood in babby gaem, I only get joy from hating things and everyone needs to know it!'

I'm totes not talking about anyone in particular, toootally. Don't look at me like that.

Honestly?
If they can't accept it it's their problem, not mine (or ours).

Skylanders is already plain hated by the majority of the gamers, even if they know nothing about the game as shown by their answers when asked about the series; Crash and Cortex won't probably make any difference after all, with those "fans".

Quickshots have two guns, while Bazookers have an oversized gun.

Cortex doesn't have an oversized gun. He has a small one. It doesn't look like a bazooka at all to me. Quickshot is my first guess. Bazooka is possible but I think it less likely.

I'm pre-ordering this so I can have two big-headed evil midgets on day 1,
I actually am excited for Cortex but I can see why people might be Pearl.. I mean salty

I've always played on Nintendo though, how different are the controls on Playstation?

Control differences? There is no such thing anymore, as all the consoles conform to a standard of dual clickable sticks, 4 face buttons, 4 shoulder buttons, a D-Pad and 2 system buttons (start/select, start/back, options/touchpad).

Unless you mean compared to Wii, in which case, it's very different.

Regarding Cortex's class, I think him either wielding a single gun and being a Bazooker or him wielding two guns and one of them just being not visible from the position he's in and being a Quickshot are both equally as likely, only time will tell.

It would be weird if he was a Quickshot though considering we already have Krankcase, who's also a Villain Quickshot of the Tech element, but if that's true I guess that would mean Crash isn't the only Life Brawler... And no I don't think it's going to be Chompy Mage because then why would they give him his staff again if he was going to attack by punching? My bet is Boom Bloom might be a Brawler... Or something else, I dunno.

I guess this also means that Light and Dark may get less characters again since it looks like Life and Tech will both get four characters... Unless Cortex counts as a part of the 30 character line-up, but if Crash doesn't then I don't see why he would.

Also, looking at the picture above, am I the only one who sees some kind of cyborg eye on Cortex?

It might a similar situation to Bone Bash Roller Brawl's toy form and artwork. She has two boomerang's in-game but on her artwork and her Toy Form she has one.

Thanks! it'll be easy then
I'll probably get the Dark edition for Wii U later

It might actually be a possibility maybe, but I hope not.

Huh, Cortex is preeetty close to his original designs from the first games, just like Crash. That's why he has this... Thing in his eyes. Look at a older model of him:

Fricken Cortex...

I WAS RIGHT! I WAS FLIPPING RIGHT! CORTEX IS IN TECH! OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS ALREADY THE GREATEST THING TO EVER EXIST AND IT HASN'T EVEN COME OUT YET!

Ok so myskylanders.de ho's to gamescom tomorrow right?

It's just Myskylanders, he's a user here :U

But yes. We can expect news from anyone though, as Yroc and Coinop got press release stuff early if their hints indicate anything.
