If you beat kaos in trap team and he is trapped will there be no skylanders 5?

I'm sure there will be a 5 dude. it's been confirmed since 2013.

Thank you skygrin i was just curious

I'm guessing they'll either replace Kaos as the main villain (doubt it though, but it's about time they introduce someone new) or Skylanders 5 would start with Kaos trying to escape from his trap just like how he escapes the real world in the beginning of Giants.

kaos is a good guy now why would he try to escape.

Exactly!

Why would anyone want to leave the good side? We have cookies! ;-)

Yes, though if Kaos does escape... doesn't that mess up the whole story? Would that make the trapping of Kaos non-canon? Because he would technically still be in our world, trapped, or in the villain vault nonetheless...

You're assuming the kaos trap (if any) will work with Skylanders 5. There are ways around it including making it impossible to use the Kaos trap... or even iff Kaos 'cloned' himself so the Kaos in the trap is now a clone.

Not to mention Cannon wise they mess up since we can play the game over agian and have our guys trapped... though we're fighting them.

And Series 2 and on also breaks cannon as not only do old ones still work but yo uhave to ask which is the real one O.o

The Series 2( and other series Skylanders) are just an extra power for them.

And replaying a level with a villain from a later chapter doesn't mess up the canon of the storyline. I think your over thinking a few minor things.

Ah yes! Your right! I meant to add that into my post...

I have three possible theories, feel free to express your opinions on them:

1. Kaos discovers a way to escape his trap, and uses his powers to clone himself, leaving the duplicate Kaos in the trap while he's free.
   
2. They introduce a completely new character to be the main villain.
   
3. Kaos' mom takes over the role of main villain after discovering the fate of her son.

My dog is good, but does he try to escape his crate/pen? Yes.

If Kaos didn't like the trap then escaped for non-evil reasons he would then become evil again.

Kaos is not a simple Doom Raider, he's a Portal Master, just like us.

He already escaped the frozen form, in Giants, I think breaking free from a trap wouldn't be that difficult, for him.

By the way, Happy New Year, darkSpyro!

Since we don't trap Glumshanks, would he be the main villain? Then Sky 5 would be Glumshanks trying to free Kaos and the other villains, maybe we'll get to trap him in Sky 5.

I haven't yet finished Skylanders Trap team, i'm waiting to have a trap set for every villain. That said I've said from the start that the one thing I hope is in every skylanders game is Kaos and Flynn. These two are needed for all skylander games though people from the start had also been hoping to play as kaos as well.
But I also don't want his capture in Trap Team to be some sorta shadow or one of those pointless whatif's or whatever etc. etc. no i want it to be the real Kaos we caught. So yes I think we just need a new Villain from now on but Kaos does need to get mentioned, maybe an extra clip if we are using kaos in a scene.

Also while I haven't finished Trap Team yet, How come Kaos in the original SSA was the only boss fight to actually put up a match? all other boss fights including in giants and swap force were pathetic.

If you say that "putting up a match" is the same as "taking people who are new to gaming 4 years to complete with 20-something Skylanders" then yes, he was the only one to put up a match.

Plus it has been mention that there are greater, and more powerful, forces at work that is part of the darkness.
Not only that, Spyro has a bit of the Darkness in him, so who's to say that something happens to him and he starts slipping towards the dark side. The Darkness may abandon Kaos, and go for Spyro. What better way to attempt destroying the Skylanders than from within. Then it's up to the rest of them to save him.
Plus, if they continue with the traps, not only could they introduce new villains but have villains from the previous Skylanders games (including the 3DS) to trap. The Doom Raiders are only a handful, plus the 38 lesser villains. However, there's no mention of how many villains were imprisoned in Cloud Cracker Prison. Mesmeralda, Cluck, and Baron Von Shellshock could be some of the inmates, as well as those introduced in STT for the 3DS.
Unlike Infintity and Amiibo, there's no limit on their creations for Skylanders. Beside the favorites, they can always introduce new characters, playable & NPC (such as Tessa, Flynn or Cali)

I'd totally go for this type of story...but Activision's tastes are more bubble gum and toy gun mentality.

Thank you for the compliment, but more than likely you'd be right. It was just a thought.

Well for me...there's no game without conflict. One of the reasons why I liked the darker tone of the first two games. Stories are getting too cute for their own good now.

If dark spyro went evil so would the other dark edition skylanders there is 8 different ones 9 if you count the re pose dark spyro for sf

we cant have that because it will scare the kids. and it also will end up losing the 7 year old age rating the game has. then parents will not buy it for their kids.

Yeah... Honestly, I don't think that can be a valid motivation.

I grew up whatching tv shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, movies like Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Mars Attacks and reading the Goosebumps books.
And I know I'm not the only one.

One thing is keeping kids safe from things that may traumatize them, another is being over-protective.

SA nailed the mood of the levels in my opinion, and the other one that came really close to it is Giants.
Trap Team is too "joyful", even in the most "moody" settings.

I sometimes wonder why we even have an undead element. I feel like they're putting lipstick on that pig way too often.
