Enlightened: Press or hold Atk.1 to use a magic beam to zap your enemies with.

- Soul Gem
Sorcerer's Circle

In hindsight, I should've waited until it was completely finished before posting it and giving you all the credit, considering you found a bunch of the quotes.

EDIT:
I'm 90% sure that Wolfgang's full quote is:

"And here's a little Secret Technique here, just for the Bowslingers." I can make it out, just barely tho

At 1:40 you can see a close-up of the Adventure Pack. Air Strike is a Brawler, the new level is called Gryphon Park Observatory and it comes with a Earth Crystal.

Thought I'd share, since no one has already

I'm totally calling a Sonic Boom NPC.

Me when I saw the pack includes an Earth Crystal:



I'm so making Jasper when I get that pack.

Also I LOVE AIR STRIKE NOW, AIR STRIKE IS DA REAL MVP

The bird! Oh gosh, his figure actually looks really good.

Yeah think people noticed that when they saw the picture lol

P.S In case you didn't notice I posted the picture a couple posts above yours

Aww, that means Air Senseis are all Melee Classes (unless Bad Juju is a different Element). Bummer.

In the FamilyGamerTV video, they confirmed there is an overworld to get from level to level with "lot's of gameplay inside!" Semi-Open-World confirmed!

This.

I was about to comment on the newly revealed and shown characters and levels, but this will have to wait (also because I have to go eating) because this is most likely the single most exciting thing I was waiting for, in this franchise.

I'm. Absolutely. Sold.

Quote: BB pop fizz

Guys there is a air strike artwork In the bottom left corner.. Anybody here can confirm his battle class?

He's a Brawler

Oops, I'm late.

Can the Crash fans just ADMIT that Crash is a ripoff of Taz, the Tazmanian Devil? Please?
The spinny thing, the style of gibberish, the deranged look in his eyes, the fact that he's a marsupial, and his destructive impulses?
Come on, please?

EDIT: I don't mean anything bad by it.
I mean, my favorite character in Maplestory is a ripoff of Eragon, so I'm pro-ripoffs!

But, can you all just acknowledge the similarities?

I wouldn't say he's a 'ripoff', but I can see why you think they're similar.

Now then, can we admit that Cortex is a ripoff of Marvin the Martian?
Their obsession with World Domination, their fondness for lasers, their arrogance... that's all I got for now...

This "Mad Dog"... did it even have an original bone in its body , or did they just rip off Warner Bros all day eryday?

I can't see that one at all. But that's probably just me.

Nope, it's definitely me. Can't you smell the **** coming off of my posts? I'm obviously ****posting.

EDIT: well, actually, the Taz = Crash was an honest observation, but I did lay it on thick.

I'm dissapointed that Air Strike isn't a Bazooker, but he looks good so I don't care much. I think his Pack could be another Day 1 buy for me.

Hooray!

Yes, yes I can. I just thought it was interesting to think about.

Yep, even when I troll, I get people thinking.

Because my style of trolling tends to include excessive displays of my own viewpoints.

Creativity is, after all, using old ideas in new ways.

are the boxes really as big as they look? I'm curious how stores are going to stock them.
Anyone get a close picture of the crystals? are we getting other molds of each element or are they the same mold?

So, in your Crash based level, since you can't use Cortex as a villain due to him being playable, who do you decide to use as your villain?

Not Tiny, not N. Gin, not N. Tropy, not Dingodile...

Fricken...

Fake Crash? Seriously?

Thanks a lot! Adding to the wiki.

Yeah, that's bugging me too. There's a whole lot of potential but they just choose him instead.

Edit: In response to Bionichute btw. It kind of looks like I'm talking about the above.

Nightmoon was right.
You only get 1 secret technique per battle class through scanning Senseis.
then you get 1 for beating the boss of that battle class.
Then you get 2 more by leveling, 1 at level 2, and 1 at level 5.

Actually, I'm not mad at Fake Crash, just extremely surprised, since he's one of the more obscure characters in the series.

One at level 2, one at level 4.
Elemental attacks are unlocked at level 3 and 5.

(Not bothering with the ones we only know the catchphrases of.)

Ugh, Hood Sickle's lines would have been so threatening and awesome if they didn't change his voice.

I hope they don't change Grave Clobber or Tae Kwon Crow's voices.

https://www.skylanders.com/characters?q=imaginators/new

Sites been updated a bit. There's a page for imaginators characters now. Seems to have pages for the ones they've shown gameplay of.

EDIT: Seems this was already posted, my bad.

Aww man, still the imaginators magic moment, i hope they are still gonna change it, but i doubt it...

Kaos' luck rating made me laugh.

At this point I really could care less.

All the stuff they have shown off has been AMAZING! That Crash level is GREAT and I love all the characters shown off.

BTW, the packaging for Air Strike labeled him "Master", just like King Pen, so that's another piece of evidence that all the brand new ones are Master Senseis, as opposed to Villain Senseis and Guest Senseis.

Ok finally ready to give my impression about what has been revealed so far (except for levels, since I don't want major spoilers:

Let's start with the characters:
- Mysticat: ok that was NOT expected, but absolutely liked!
A quadruped, and a rather creative one, finally!
Won't judge his toy form as of now, since Starcast's is quite different from his CGI model and it might happen for him as well.

- Aurora: her potential connection to Eon might be the only thing saving her from being the most boring and uncreative Skylander of all times.
A human with daggers.
WOW.
Hope her gameplay will amaze me but her design is disappointing.

- Starcast: figure-wise, he's outstanding.
I was expecting a bit more from his abilities (don't know why) but they perfectly captured the Dark Element feeling, and that's what matters.

- Dr. Krankcase: AWESOME!
He's himself, what more do you need?

- Hood Sickle: they did a good job converting him to the Dark Element.
Looks quite interesting and, thank Eon, faster.

- Air Strike: he's cool, but all I can think about is "STOP MAKING OVERSIZED FIGURES".
I don't know if they'll all fit among my collection.
And YAY for the proper return of Adventure Packs!
Ah yes, his hawk was totally not expected.

- Barbella: her being made of rock is a nice touch, liking her a bit more now.

- Dr. Neo Cortex: V.V. truly deserves a standing ovation for him.
I though they couldn't outdo themselves after Crash, but they proved me wrong.
He's simply perfect.
Thumpin' Wumpa Island is a bit too... Bouncy, from what I have seen, but indeed looks sweet.

- Kaos: mmmh... Don't get me wrong, he's cool (and thank God they used the clone concept) but I feel like they could have relied less on the Battle Class thing and go more with the "master of all Elements" route, like in Trap Team.
He was created specifically for this game, after all, so it does make sense that he's what he is.

Looks like "dark" blue truly is Imaginators color, glad they didn't drop that detail.

Now let me end with one thing that bothers me immensely and another which has me hyped beyond comprehension.

Battle Classes are locked to Creation Crystals once choosen.
Look, Activision, if you think I'm going to shell out 1000€ or so, just to have an Imaginator for every Battle Class/Element combination then you are horribly wrong.
And it's not only a matter of price (I could buy 10 Crystals every year and handle it better) but also, especially, of space: where the *biiiip* do you think I'm going to store 100 Creation Crystals, when I already have more than 100 Skylanders...?
Thanks for ruining this amazing concept.
Thanks sincerely.

BUUUT, on the other hand... A semi open-world structure.
I... I don't even know what to say.
I wasn't expecting it anymore and suddendly... BOOM.
I won't lie, I was about to cry of excitement when I read it.
October couldn't come any sooner!

Nobody got any closeups of Aurora, Barbella, or Tae, so we can't see their catchphrases

Also yay we're getting over half the villains in the first wave it looks like

EDIT: @Drek, I'm fairly certain what they mean is the Battle Class is locked when you first choose, it, but if you reset it you can get a new one.

Slowly catching up here. Tons of great things, but some not great ones. Aurora went from most wanted to not, Hood Sickle's element change wasn't explained, nor were his origins.

That said.

Spooky dungeon level.
Sold.

I absolutely love all this. Yeah, the creation crystal thing is irritating, but I wasn't planning on playing as Imaginators that much anyway.

They're looking after Crash really well, which makes me wonder: Why didn't you do this kinda stuff for Spyro?

Because they were trying to build the Skylanders brand seperate from Spyro.

Ok 2 things
1: I still adore Aurora! I was a bit disappointed but got over it fast!!
2: Is anyone going that's on this website that we can have get us closeups of Aurora, Barbella and Tae Kwon Crow for catchphrases?

Unfortunately, they didn't go into the Ownership menu, so we don't know if it's possible to reset them. Hopefully it is, but it might not be. Traps weren't reset-able.

Side note: I still really like Aurora. Especially her swords.

I still actually like Aurora because, in the context of Skylanders, she is actually very unique, definitely a stand out character, simply by being... normal.

EDIT: @Nightmoon we also thought for a long while that Traps could only hold one villain each.

I missed the whole Battle Classes are locked to Creation Crystals thing...that's just madness. Toys To Life games walk a fine line and that absolutely crosses it.

Uh... they do only hold one Villain each. You can swap them out, but it's still just 1 per Trap.

Besides, that has nothing to do with what I was saying.

Because their initial intention was to have it as a sequel series(Spyro's Kingdom), and they went back on their word late into development. He was going to be in Master Eon's and all, which means his design was always different and references unecessary.

What I mean is that for a long time, we though Traps could only hold one villain, period, no switching them out.

What this relates to is that they probably aren't that stupid, and we're also jumping to conclusions again before everything is revealed.

I sincerely hope it, but that line about a "final decision" sincerely scares me.
I just recently got over the fact we can't save our Imaginators and switch them in and out the Crystals, this would be incredibly worse.

Speaking of not-so-great things, it's nothing compared to what I previously said but it's getting pretty clear that certain Classes have exclusives (or fixed) features: the Sorcerers they shown don't seem to have an option to not float and I'm starting to think this won't be any different for Swashbuckler tails and Ninja bodies.
Still have hope for Quickshots, though.

I agree with you, Bifrost, it's weird how they didn't spend a word on Hood Sickle.
I hope they'll either find a general explanation (like, the Mind Magic or Eon changed their Elements to more appropriate ones, somehow) or at least motivate Tae Kwon Crow and Grave Clobber a bit, since Hood Sickle fits Dark pretty well anyway.

Also, just read Starcast's backstory: I wanted something darker but... It's hilarious.

Not sure if anybody here posted the catchphrases but here they are
Starcast : A Shot In The Dark!
Dr.Krankcase : The Doctor Is In!
Hood Sickle : Any Last Words?

Is Andy still there? Would it be possible for him to get close ups of Aurora, Barbella and Tae Keon Crow in package? It would be great to have their catchphrases?

Well, Gamescon is just started. We really need someone to ask about the element changes because we'll be out of events after this.

Mysticat figure and Air Strike being a brawler are nice to wake up to. But that means if I stick with King Pen I have to get the air Knight, and he bores the crap out of me from what we've seen so far. I'd much rather Ambush.

I thought Crystals were confirmed to be resetable?

Also, have we been told if Traps will do anything yet?
