I ask because I'm hoping to get off of eBay and I wonder what the soul gem upgrades look like on him, as I really like the coloration,but I want to fully upgrade him, and want to know if the soul gem makes a visible difference on . Images of him with the soul gem upgrade acquired on both halves would be helpful.

Im pretty sure its still the exact same thing sadly.

You will remove his unique color once you get the Soul Gem. For that reason, I never plan on completely upgrading him and his Quests. Stupid move, Activision.

Yeah, someone answered this Q for me and basically he turns purple all over and you only ever see his stunning glowing skin when it "breaks".

Like GR above, I don't plan on fully upgrading him. They could have at least made his color go from purple to red or something!

Well, I kinda need an image of with the soul gem to make my decision.

Look at any youtube video showing what happens when regular Rattle Shake gets his soul gem. They will match.


FF to 3:00 or so


FF to 1:10 or so


So, don't believe us---go ahead and buy the soul gem.

Well, does the soul gem make a major difference on both and ? If it does, I'll reconsider, but if not, I guess I'll keep the soul gem off until I hear otherwise.

Ummm....Watch the first video at the minute mark I indicated. If full body re-coloring isn't major for you, buy the soul gem. I'm actually irritated my regular Rattle Shake has the re-coloring.

I don't know if you just can't watch that video, ItalianGamer, but his whole body colour turns to a dark purple colour with black diamonds, it also has a really shiny look to it kind of like Pop Thorn's Soul Gem. It actually makes him look a lot like one of the Evil Minions from SA's boss battles and Giants' Ambushes.

I like it much better than his regular colour scheme but I hate it on Quickdraw because it makes them look the same in game. They should have inverted the colour and make Quickdraw get a light green skin with white diamonds.

Well, I could watch the videos, and it seems that the soul gem looks the same on both and , but I wonder if it really makes a big difference gameplay-wise. But I don't even have , so I can't buy the soul gem. After I get Quickdraw and his soul gem and I decide I don't like the look, I can use a skylander editor program to back up the halves of before the soul gem upgrade, and then write the soul gem-less backups onto the halves of the .

Well, this was a much ado about nothing. Gesh, if you can do that...why ask?

I dunno, I guess I forgot had the skylander editor program when I made the original post. I'm just wondering if the soul gem on / makes a huge difference in terms of gameplay. Is the soul gem important enough to get anyways, even with ?

If you play Nightmare Mode it's basically worthless really. I've never actually had it take effect on him there, since I never get hit. If you play a lower difficulty, maybe, but there are still a lot of enemies that do considerable damage and you won't really want to get hit anyway. I'd say it's good to buy on the regular version because it makes him look cooler but that's just my opinion.

Are the stat boosts that the soul gems provide (increased critical hit for top, increased speed for bottom) major enough to warrant the upgrade or minor enough to skip the upgrade?

Well, I bought the soul gem on , and unlike what you guys said, he's actually a little different compared to with the soul gem. Look at the tip of his tail and the middle of his gun, which is below his gun-holding hand.This is the image that proves my reasons.

Everything I said is still correct. His body does in fact change color. But whatever, enjoy your PURPLE snake. I'll enjoy my WHITE snake.

Well, I do have Lv. 20 backups of both halves of my before buying the soul gem and backups after buying the soul gem. I didn't see a visible increase in speed or critical hit at the stats screen after buying the soul gem, so I assumed it only had a subtle effect, and restored him to his soul gem-less state via my editor program. I guess I'll somehow have to contact TFB to give them a suggestion to change 's soul gem skin color in Trap Team.
