So there is a chance Buckshot is the first true Capricorn in Skylands? Yeah was made, but she's clearly more of an Aries. I always thought goats can be cool and my zodiac has been mixed up with the monkey and goat or ram or sheep whichever you prefer. Plus I am a Capricorn so I think I'm gonna like Buckshot a lot.

In a probably failing attempt to change the conversation...

I'd find it kind of funny if Buckshot is technically a Capricorn because he shoots with a bow and arrow. Ya know, my sign's signature thing (Sagittarius)

Though I guess Knight Mare would fit more seeing as how she's a centaur.

Which brings up an interesting thought. Do we have a Skylander for every zodiac sign?

Now that you mention it, I believe we do. While some of the zodiac signs are not likely to be perfectly portrayed, we do have Skylanders that also match up to the signs figuratively and aesthetically. Like could represent Taurus with her horns and anyone from to could technically be Gemini. So technically we may I guess.

Virgo: Knight Light
Aries: Splat
Taurus: Head Rush
Gemini: Eye Brawl, Rocky Roll, or Fright Rider
Aquarius: Riptide or Punk Shock
Sagittarius: Knight Mare, Mysticat, or Flameslinger
Libra: Stump Smash
Scorpio: Scorp
Capricorn: Buckshot
Cancer: Wham Shell or Lob Star
Leo: Wildfire
Pisces: Thumpback, Riptide, and or lord and savior Gill Grunt

I'm a Wham She'll/Lob Star, which means I've got a bad case of the crabs or a rock lobster in my pants. How ever, I got none on since I'm about to take a shower. But to quote a line from The Lego Movie,
"Honey, where are myyyyy ppppppppaaaaaannnnnntttttssss?,"

Chain Reaction is quickly becoming one of my favorite senseis, picking him up ASAP. Also, loving Blaster Tron!

Was there a picture I missed? Anyone got a link?


Buckshot looks cool, it's close to what I pictured.

How about some Ro-Bow gameplay?

No gameplay of anybody yet, but i can get you that chain reaction picture you wanted

Whoah, thanks.

What. Is. That. ?

That, friend, is a robotic viking(?) wielding two chainsaw swords.

Quote: GigaCamo

In my opinion, King Pen, Aurora, Barbella, Hoodsickle and Chopscotch are the only really bad ones. I think this roaster is very solid. Not Trap Team good but it's a good 2nd place.

Honey most of the charcters from trap team were boring as f
Kaboom only one good attack
Tuff luck = Stealth elf 2.0
Rocky roll is boring
Tread head....ahhhh bad !!!
Lob star...only 2 attacks !!! That's bad and in my country I have to pay 25 dollars for a gimmick lander
I can go on for hours with what's wrong with the trap team charcters....

Move sets might not be a big problem for some of you guys...but some countries charge a lot for skylanders....so if I was willing to pay 25 dollar for a charcter they better put more effort to that charcter's design and move set and don't get me started on AP here they get sold for 62 dollars !!!!
and we never get discounts on charcters. That's why I'm very picky and I think that this game
Need improvements...I rember 3 years ago I went to turkey and I saw Frezze blade there for 30 dollars and the adventure packs were so expensive . I was on a trip back when giants just got released and core charcters were sold for 48 dollars !!!! So when I purchas a charcter I expect a lot more from it...but most of the time I end up disappointed
I have switched to Amazon because I can get skylanders for a cheaper price but still....I feel kind of sad when I see a bunch of skylanders on shelves whenever I go to a video game store.

So with all this recent news, including the game actually being SHIPPED... Has ANY type of Battle Arena been confirmed?

Not yet...but I really want something similar to battle brawl

(I'd feel a lot better about him if they kept his old voice filter, they'd better not screw up Juju's voice).

Honestly, Juju would be higher but I don't like her color changes.

I totally know where you are coming from. While I don't hate the new colors Bad Juju has, I actually liked the purple she had in Trap Team. It made her look more mysterious and even gave her that more witch doctor vibe, but now if needed to be more air oriented this time around. I am still looking forward to seeing her fight and I too wish they kept her voice it had so much personality than most villains in Trap Team. In fact her voice was one of the first voices I heard when the site updated and I already fell in love with the character and then I played her she became one of my favorite villains.

NEW RULE: This is a Skylanders forum. Everyone is free to think and speculate over what they think, but we need to realize this is a stupid fun little game where a Squid Pirate can shoot piranhas. There is no reason to get mad over what other people think. It doesn't matter! Stop sorting out your social problems here! There is nothing of substance to even argue about here!

NEW NEW RULE: if everyone is free to think whatever they want, that includes angry opinions, and contradicting opinions. Therefore, people should be free to argue over pointless things if they so choose.

After all, the original forum (I mean the Roman Forum) war used to gather people to discuss primarily politics, so it wouldn't really be a forum without heated argument or twenty, now would it.

Eb Games usually have higher prices. However other retailers like Big W and Target usually have it a few dollars cheaper. A Prime example last year were Superchargers. They were $20 at Eb Games, while in stores like Big W, they were $16. Where did you find the info that target had them for $40? I haven't seen Target advertise anything yet, let alone Wave Two Stuff. I assume they just probably looked at the price Eb was selling it for and told you.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but the Sensei Hero 8 pack is no longer avaialbe on Amazon.com. It still shows on my preorder but no image and can't search it on the site.

It was mostly species. Some are a bit of a stretch since theyre missing a key feature of the sign (Im a Knight Mare only because she's a centuar, but Sagittarius also has a bow) but a few just so happened to be right on the nose (Scorp and Splat as Scorpio and Aries respectively)

Ok, Thanks.

Now that I think about it, why didn't they give Knight Mare a Bow? Knight Light already had a sword and a bow would have been way cooler.

I think you might be onto something with your sheep theory, Zap.
The problem comes with the tail, though: looks reptilian or draconic, certainly not like something an ovine would have.
Tail aside, even the face looks like the one of sheeps.

I also like how his bow is basically his horns tied together, quite a nice detail.
Is it just me or is his figure missing the bowstring, though?
Would be weird since Ro-Bow and Wolfgang have it.

I looked up "sheep tail" and it turns out most sheep tails are docked... this is what they look like normally.

Well, the more you know.
There is also this specific species called "fat tail sheep" which looks even more similar even if I doubt they went that far (and this is a quite normal example):



I just noticed something extremely cool on Blaster-Tron's figure: he actually has one ring on his antenna and I'm pretty sure they managed to make it "float" by sticking it to the sword.
That's truly clever design here.
I also agree with those saying his lighter color suits his Element a bit better now, hoping he'll also have a bit of pearlized effect like Aurora.

Hey, unlike Hood Sickle, we got some options and she doesn't use filters. Don't forget Kimberly Brooks also does Buena Girl and Jasper; and she has been on games enough that it'd be pretty hard for them to not be able to rerecord. The most we'd lose is the old lady raspiness if she stays.

Oh, Wow
THAT AMAZING!!!
(Round of applause to TFB. Now make crystals resettable in a patch and then we'll be getting somewhere.)

His lighter coloured suit definitely helps. I hope he has some sort of elemental attack, so he's not just a laser-sword wielding futuristic robot that they stuck the light symbol on.

Regardless, I still love him!!!

i never thogut about that buckshot is a sheep. if he is then i hope hugo will be envolvd in his backstory.

I think it's more likely that he's a buck.

I'm thinking his sword will transform into a blast sword like Dargo from Farscape . It'd be a good replacement for his bazooker like TT attack. Firing light beams etc.

Anyway, since it was apparently brought up earlier I think Pain-Yatta is the only villain which didn't change at all, in terms of Element and design adjustments.

Blaster-Tron didn't change much either, give or take a grayer collar.

Quote: Bifrost

Blaster-Tron didn't change much either, give or take a grayer collar.

He's the same but has a sword now.
Pain-Yatta still has his trusty lollipop, so he's the closest to his Trap Team's counterpart among the reformed villains.

Probably already said this but whatever.


Also, my top 11, I suppose.

I mean, Golden Queen, Chompy Mage, and Grave Clobber haven't changed much either.

Quote: Bionichute

I mean, Golden Queen, Chompy Mage, and Grave Clobber haven't changed much either.

True, but they still got some very minor changes.

Chompy Mage's scarf doesn't have teeth anymore and he lost his red decoration on the cape.
Golden Queen's staff's egg doesn't float (for obvious reasons) and her outfit is slightly different.
Grave Clobber is exactly the same but changed Element.

Wolfgang's also almost identical when he's not using his harp like a bow.

Yeah, my guess is that his figure (or at least the CGI model) is lacking some details.
His spikes are also colored differently, if I'm not wrong.

I really want Hugo to come back, so that Bucky can scare the heck out of him
