WARNING: Below theory packs a lot of spoilers regarding Lost Imaginite Mines.
Blobbers is a bad guy and was going to back stab the Skylanders, but got foiled by the defense systems and covered it up afterwards
Think about it, Blobbers has been through a lot in the past, being abandoned by his friends, forgotten and neglected by just about everyone. Is it really that far fetched to believe that this could have made him turn to the side of evil? It's happened many times in just about everything - hurting souls becoming corrupted due to an unfortunate life. Take Micheal Myers from Halloween for an example. And when Blobbers goes on that rant about how he is going to change Skylands, he honestly looks and sounds evil, with that menacing or at least mischievous grin. And think about the course of the level. It honestly seems to be a plan formed by Blobbers in order to get the crystal - he used the Skylanders to get past the defense systems because he knew he couldn't do it himself. No one would really expect him to be evil because he's Blobbers - bumbling and innocent, or at least he acts like it. And consider what happened after he was rejected by the defense mechanisms - he seemed all embarrassed and then acted all innocent again. I believe that because his plan failed, he went back to his friendly act to cover it up as nothing more than a minor incident of him "getting to carried away." And the fact that Blobbers had knowledge of the mines and wanted to go there is more startling. He researched it to learn more about it and then decided to go there in order to carry out his scheme to get his revenge. And since when was Blobbers around? I think he appeared once in the actually Imaginators story, and he only said one or two sentences before running away. Besides that, he up and appears out of nowhere, suddenly seemingly desperate to get into the mines. Doesn't that seem odd to anyone? And this part may sound stupid, but think about those ambush sequences in the MAP. He's randomly there to congratulate you once you win. I mean, where did he come from? Could he have been watching the Skylanders, seeing if they were capable of helping him get into the mines? I personally believe so. Additionally, consider how when he's guiding you through the mines, he knows how things work, such as the magnets and such. It seems like he understands it all and has seen it before. Maybe he'd tried to break into the mines before by himself, so that's why he seems to know what to do in a situation that should be completely alien to him? It's a possibility.
Based on this info, I believe Blobbers is more than just a silly mabu - he's a secret villain plotting for the right time to reveal his true intentions.

I'll probably add more to this if I get more evidence.
So what do you think of this theory? Yes, no? Let me know. It's really important for me to get some feedback and I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: Added some new evidence.
