This is not another topic about base color or anything, its that for magic skylanders they just placed the engine block on a normal magic base

That's all they did, not something cool like a purple trans clear plastic around the block, all they did was put the magic base under the engine block.

And I like it.

Bases worked, why change them...?
I sincerely don't see why they had to put those engines if they didn't even changed Magic bases.

It's adding fake height to the figures, I definately don't like it. But better than some purple smoke or whatever else they'd probably make.

I don't like that they changed the bases in this game. I prefer the bases of the past games, cause it added to a consistent look.

I also wonder why they added the old magic bases to the magic landers, but not the others? Also it looks like the magic bases have yellow bottoms. I wish the other elements did the same thing. Have their bases at least, with yellow (Light) bottoms with the engine on top.

some here like to call it innovation...

Next time someone uses innovation as an excuse I'm going to innovate on the expletives. Seriously, it's just aesthetics, good or bad it's no new tech.

That would be soooo weirdly inconsistent to have all new bases with the engine on all other elements but have magic have a regular magic base with an engine...one or the other VV, one or the other.
Perhaps the magic figures were early dev...

You can actually see that the base shifts backwards behind the engine. I wonder how it actually looks like up close...

i agree i am so angry at the moment of all this crap, they ruin my favorite game more and more as they reveal the news. that i would gladly take their next bad excuse for a innovation and shove it up their arse.

Well, I don't share your opinion, I just don't like people using innovation as the end-all buzzword.

The two different base types could change. I doubt that there will be different base types for some elements.

For me personally regarding innovation, I think adding vehicles is innovative. I don't think different base types is all that innovative as it doesn't affect the game itself. Another example would be if we can take trapped villains from Trap Team and race them in their Trophy vehicles. That would innovate on something that was there and is made new with a unique game play experience.

ultyzaus is actually right they are not exactly the same.

You know, innovation...

Splat looks really pretty. I will definitely get her instead of Big Bubble Pop Fizz.

Yeah this is realy out of place... ...the other Elements don't have there old base's....why did the do it to just the Magic Elements?...oh well.

It obviously just turned out that way because the design for Magic isn't as malleable as the others. You can't really change around the position of whatever those magic rune thingies are and still have them be recognizable, whereas you can easily change around the position of flames, leaves, cogs, rocks, clouds, bones, and water and still have them be recognizable.

But they did changed the solid look of the Light bases with a simple yellow flash of energy.

However Magic bases aren't exactly the same, they seem to be "warping" in the back.
We'll see.

I still want to see a better image of the Dark base.
There doesn't seem to be much of it under Nightfall's engine.

These figures are maybe still in development and they might change it in the future

I think that VV is still thinking about what to do with the magic bases. It wold lose money to manufacture them this way, and it looks bad to us
