So, SuperChargers happened before Trap Team, and after Swap Force. If this is true, this would explain a lot. This would be how Kaos meets the Doom Raiders. This would also explain why traps are used for special ammo. Also, this would explain why KAOS is the villain. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to escape. None of the developers even said anything about Kaos in traptanium. They just said Kaos was the villain.
Tell me what you guys think?

Soo...Trap Team is the last canonical game?

I kind of hope it is. I remember back when Trap Team was announced, they said that it wouldn't be following on directly from Swap Force, and that it would all make sense 'in time'. Perhaps this is what they meant?

It's more likely to be a different time line.

The Rift into Overdrive comic will probably explain how he escapes.

I'd go with different time lines.

Traps were created after Kaos freed the Doom Raiders from Cloudcracker Prison.
How could they be around before it?

The Doom Raiders were imprisoned before Kaos blown up their prison.
How can they be playable freely...?

I simply think V.V. don't care about past lore (not a single reposed Trap Team Skylander, yet we have 7 characters which got reposed, like, 6/7 times) and simply want to create a game which can sell well and with their personal lore.
Opinions, of course.

Cluck, Shellshock, and Moneybones being back says otherwise.

Yeah, which means it isn't a prequel.

By Prequel, I ment the events happened after Swap Force and before Trap Team

Do reserch. It's not impossible to break out of Traptanium.

Kaos DID blow up an entire prison made out of solid traptanium, so it is indeed possible. I hope it takes place before trap team though, since it would make the lore fit better than if they just say "Kaos escaped... because magic or something we dunno."

Yes but I highly doubt the doom raiders broke out of the traptanium prison, were part of superchargers, got recaptured, then broke out again for trap team

someone is spinning wild ideas here i see.

Traptanium breaks itself, and there was plenty left in the Ultimate Weapon or what's left of it. High frequencies too, and I wouldn't be suprised if Glumshanks could've salvaged the Fork of Ultimate Resonance and the amplification machine. Non-Trap Masters have also been trapped by Weeruptor on accident, so there must be some failsafe.
It just takes using canon and not excuses.

In their new vid skydad talks about this kinda, I think it's 1/2 way through the vid he says superchargers will continue where swap force left off or something like that

Were they though? Far be it from me to get into a lore debate but that doesn't track. When you first encounter Sheep Creep in that first level in Trap Team Buzz tells you exactly what to do as far as trapping a villain. What he's confused about is the fact that Sheep Creep is out in the first place. This tells me that the trapping mechanic existed well be for the events in Trap Team. Where does all this talk of Super Chargers being out of the time line come from?

Update:
Skydad corrected his initial comment about where Super Chargers take place in the time line.

I guess the problems are Kaos and the Doom Raiders being playable and free but I'm sure they will find a way to explain it.

In my opinion traps weren't around before the outbreak, Traptanium was.
So, since we did find traps and Eon knew it, Buzz probably guessed their use coupled with the return of Trap Masters and told us how to use them.

I think he didn't exactly knew how to use them but he used the informations he had to come at a conclusion.

Game and story segregation. Someone other than a Skylander needed to do trapping tutorial, even if he shouldn't know you had traps in the first place. But probably similar technique was used to arrest them the first time around, also known as trapping, or Trap Master wouldn't be the team's title.

Why not? The way I took it was that they were an elite team of Skylanders that trapped Villains. Both Cloud Cracker prison and the Traps existed before Trap Team, so why not the Trap Masters?...since they were masters at trapping.

Traps showed up from the Traptanium falling on Earth, it's in the intro cutscene. The prision seemed to have it all in raw form.

Well sure the traps we got, but clearly Traptanium was used to trap Villains...maybe just clear traps. They also clearly had a vault system in place (Cloud Cracker isn't all that big) that went up instantly in the Academy. Again, the fact that Buzz tells you exactly what to do and that he's not surprised in the least is an indicator that Traps, in some for or another, pre-date the events in Trap Team. ,

I do agree traps must have been there before just not like the ones who reached our world.

Maybe they didn't even phisically trapped villains but they were indeed needed to hold them.

Perhaps the Kaos that we captured with the Kaos Trap back from STT could be the perfect clone of the moronic dark Portal Master just to fool us. This all happened after the Traptanium-powered Kaos was defeated and flew all the way into the air, and then sent his clone plummeting while the real Kaos escaped.

I think it probably is and its possible that superchargers is a side story that takes place earlier in the time line after swap force. It could be possible that the stories in place of the game are mixed up. I guess it won't be all known until september anyway

Still thinking things would be super messed up as a sequel. Cloudcracker Prision exploding is the only way for Light and Dark skylanders to be around because of the Dark and Light Realm unsealing - we wouldn't be able to play as any of them. It's also the only way to have the Dreadnaught being sacrificed to defeat Malefor, which happens after Trap Team, so Flynn has to use Sharpfin's airship.

Maybe then they can explain who the heck buzz is and where he came from

...That would be actually good. I was expecting the Skylanders Annuals or one of the books to explain it but it's never said why General Robot gave up his post for this guy. Actually, General Robot is just outright forgotten.

I still say that the Kaos we captured from STT was his clone while the real one escaped.

I thought this game was confirmed prequel?
My theory, the kaos From KDC escaped

Nothing was confirmed. People are just attempting to justify it as such.
Also that one is a hologram, it's just the orb below him that's real. Cali nearly describes it like a holodeck - Kaos just cursed it to be harder than it should(probably by putting in the chest).

The only think I distinctly remember about the continuity is that Lou (I think) mentioned that from Trap Team on (escluded I guess) all the endings of the games would have been tied to the following titles.

So whatever end SuperChargers will have it will tie directly to the events of Skylanders 6.

Kinda like how Giants hinted at Kaos' Mom but even more.
It seems like they want all the games to be deeply connected in the future.
I like the sound of it.

Problem is that the Giants post-credits scene is a plot hole in SF, because it implies Kaos was with his mom already yet he acts like he has't seen her in decades when she shows up again.

While I don't care if the games all line up in a neat order, it is still nice. It's like Pokemon. Each one has its own story and such, but there is the time line of events. It will be a nice bit if they focus more on that in future games.

That does seem to be the case. Sky 6 is gonna start were SSC left off. Maybe the Darkness takes over Skylands the end of SSC? If so,I'm worried they'll down play it too much.

Of course it is.
Her design was also really different (at least basing on what you can make out from her shadow) and I wonder if the fact she appears in SWAP Force is more a coincidence rather than a development of Giants end.

I kinda missed a post-credit scene in Trap Team...

I guess we will have to wait and see the end of SuperChargers by ourselves before starting the real speculations: who's the final boss? Will the Darkness only appear at the very end or is it the ones behind everything? Will this game have a happy ending or was it thought to set off a saga inside the series...?

You know, there is something showing at the final cutscene of STT, you know where the Ultimate Weapon was exploding. Just before the explosion, there was a ship flying out of the weapon. It may have been Glumshanks, but he was too busy trying to make the machine work again. It would only make sense for it to be Kaos, as there is no one else besides Buzz and the Skylanders, which they can both teleport out of there, Buzz having unknown reasons. So, if anyone was to use the ship, it would be Kaos. The real one.

I remember a ship flying away from the Ultimate Weapon's explosion...
Always thought it belonged to Buzz but... Mmmmh... It is suspicious after all.

Better watch that cutscene again.

It's way hard to tell since the small island is behind the cannon in that shot. But Glumshanks does frantically insist he's going to save his master, and we never see what he's button mashing the control panel for.
