Naming our most forgettable Skylanders will help show us what Activision's mistakes were and what not to do for next time! Plus we get to look over lists of Skylanders and say "OH YEAH! I REMEMBER THAT GUY!" Here are the TOP 10 most forgettable skylanders in my opinion from the least forgettable to the most:

10. Fright Rider

9. Kaboom

8. Wham-Shell

7. Wrecking Ball

6. Sprocket

5. Sonic Boom

4. Stump Smash

3. Lightning Rod

2. Wind-Up

1. Boomer

Those are my most forgettable Skylanders (Not anymore cause I remembered them all). What about Your's!!!

You named a bunch of popular characters and that you like and they're forgettable? You're making little sense.

Scorp and Grilla Drilla for the Dreamworks genericness to the max, Lightning Rod for most people wanting to forget his Series 2 figure on purpose, Stump Smash for being overshadowed by Tree Rex and Bumble Blast in pretty much every way,can't remember many others with specific reasoning.

Fist Bump is my most forgettable.

I'm not a big fan of Earth-Landers so most of them don't really come to mind, and whenever I see him I'm reminded that he exists. I'm pretty sure there were too many skylanders in Trap Team seeing how I can't think and name them all within a short span of time.

10. Slobber Tooth
Never played a lot with him and he just overall has a boring design.

9. Double Trouble
Only played with him and SSA and never thought about him since Giants.

8. Ignitor
I actually really like him, but he would probably be one of the last Fire Skylanders I'd name.

7. Sonic Boom
Bought her soon before Giants so she got lost in the new figures, though I was never a big fan of her anyway.

6. Drill Sergeant
I don't remeber him having fans at all. He was just a small character in the roster.

5. Prism Break
One of my least favorite characters and no one's talking about him either.

4. Slam Bam
He did have fans, but same as with Prism Break he got forgotten.

3. Flameslinger
One of my first characters and a big part of my SSA playthrough, though since then he never came to my mind as a returning character.

2. Countdown
Also one of my less favorized characters. Never really really thought about him because there were so many better characters in SF.

1. Fright Rider
Hate him, don't want him back. Boring gameplay, even though he has an unique design. He was a quick buy and mostly overshadowed by Eye-Brawl (bought them at the same time).

I overall remeber the characters I used far too much in their games the best (Hex, Stealth Elf, Ninjini, Sprocket, Smolderdash, Star Strike, Gearshift, Deja Vu, Nightfall, Splat)

AKA just a load of characters from the first two games that hardly got reposes.

But anyway, I seem to forget about most of the Trap Masters. Almost everything from TT, actually. >_<

*Also, it's 'yours', not 'your's'

I forget some popular characters because I do not have them!!! I looked over a list and when they came back to mind I was like "Some of these are actually pretty good!" REMEMBER THIS IS MY OPINION

Well, it's your opinion, but I don't get it one bit. *shrug*

Basically every core Skylander from giants, aside from Sprocket.

I don't exactly have a specific order, but I find that Zap, Warnado, Ghost Roaster, Chill, Star Strike, Rubble Rouser, Zoo Lou, Hot Head, Zook and Swarm were easily forgotten.

cobra cadabra is pretty forgettable. his weird "attack to the beat" thing makes him kinda... hard to use? As much of a unique design he is, i can't see him returning sadly.

i literally just remembered that freeze blade exists.

Hey man, don't be dissing Freeze Blade! He's my favorite Swapper


Anyway... Riptide, Echo, Trail Blazer and Free Ranger are the most boring Skylanders to me.

I'll be honest, his attack to the beat was just poorly done.

I don't forget anybody because this franchise is my life. I do admit some are not as memorable as others, but this series has some of the most fun, unique and diverse characters I have ever seen and would hate to lose it.

My Top Three Most Forgettable:
(Too lazy to do 10.)
(This isn't counting SuperChargers and Minis, they're all forgettable to me. )

3. Cynder


2. Jawbreaker


1. Shroomboom

My list consists of some of the Trap Masters I didn't get:

Jawbreaker: as stated above punch, punch, punch is extremely bland
Kaboom: also mentioned before, really boring design/gameplay wise
Tuff Luck: *cough* definitely not a stealth elf clone *cough*

I can't forget any of the Swap Force because I love them all :3
Can't forget the Giants because I ike them all as well (though I hated Hot Head when Giants was still popular)

In terms of Cores, I've admittedly forgotten a few....
Deja Vu
Torch
Trail Blazer
Echo
Punk Shock
Riptide
Slobber Tooth
Zoo Lou
Dune Bug
Rocky Roll
High Five
Tread Head

I find it kinda weird how most of those are from TT seeing as I really liked that game...

I think the issue with the TT guys is that a ton were introduced at once. They're mostly new, so no Series+ for you to ignore, so it overwhelmed a lot of people. I like them all and I still have trouble remembering them because I'll mistake one for the other - lost count of how many times I kept asking myself if Rocky Roll had maces for arms.

I like Jawbreaker. His simplicity is charming to me, IDK. Granted, I haven't played as him since I sold Trap Team, but whatever!

Swarm
Fright Rider
Sprocket
Spy Rise
Lob Star
Ka-Boom
Bushwhack
Blastermind
Fist Bump
Cobra Cadabra

• I would most certainly have forgotten about Gill Grunt by now if they didn't keep remaking him.
  
• Most of these characters are just here because I never saw them much at all, and don't like the designs, so I forget them easily.
  
• The same thing goes for quite a few others, but you asked for a top 10.
  

I couldn't name 10 because I already forgot them. Honestly I had to check the posters out and this is my list. I had over 40 of them!

• Krypt King
  
• Fryno
  
• Food Fight
  
• Fling Kong
  
• Blades
  
• (Just about every mini Skylander)
  
• Rocky Roll
  
• Funny Bone
  
• Fist Bump
  
• Chopper
  
• Trail Blazer
  
• Dune Bug
  
• Hoot Loop
  
• Freeze Blade
  
• Rip Tide

Did you notice that there are no females in my list? I cannot forget a waifu! All of the ones here I just don't care for and I will never play with other than to register them into my new game. It's why I felt no desire to buy most of the SC characters as those are also ones I'll never use and will completely forget about in another year.

Actually it was two weekends ago where I found a box of Skylanders at a garage sale and I totally forgot about Voodood existing. I was like, "crap, is that a new Skylander!?" Then I saw the Giants base and I remembered that I must own it as I have all characters from the first three games. I thought to myself, "oh, it was only what's his name...Lob Goblin!" and I went away. LOL!

Batspin. (Forgot about her till I saw her in the bargain bin in toys r us)
Blastermind (Was the weakest trap master for me. Bland design and powers)
Fright Rider (I have him, sadly I rarely use him as I forget about him a lot)
Coba Cadabra (He has a great design and is very creative, but I never get to see him around)
Drill Sergeant (I like this skylander, but he's hardly ever seen)
Tree Rex (He is really forgettable, if you mention giants I'll know who he is, but often it takes a while for me to remember him)
Prsim Break (I always wanted this skylander, sadly I still don't have him. He just was forgotten after swapforce (I think))
Jaw Breaker (His design is boring, his powers are boring)
Slobber Tooth (I've always been a bit off about this skylander. When launch day came and I had the choice between him and zooloo I choose zooloo in a heart beat)
High Five (Did not remember him till I did a google search on the skylander fly with wings)
Dune Bug (This guy was really boring, I don't really remember him, not even his design! Just his name)

Interesting that very few people actually remembered of Thunderbolt to include him.

Female Skylanders are rare occasions, so everyone remembers of those ones.

Fun little useless fact: For some time I tough that Sonic Boom was male.

Hehe me too! And I thought Sunburn was a girl until I actually got his figure

I thought Whirlwind was a male when I first got the game :3

Em I dunno
I don't remember most of the Trap Teams cores, seems like a few other are the same.

Quote: Luminous35

I thought Whirlwind was a male when I first got the game :3

I thought that too until I got her and I didn't know Sonic Boom was female until Giants

I wonder if the fact that these were among the last to be released for their respective games plays a role in forgetting them. Since many of us have finished the game and did not get a real chance to play them before other "favorites" were established.
Anyway
Warnado
Ninjini
Doom Stone
Enigma

These Trap Team ones like for example Thread Head, Rocky Roll and stuff (i don't like them that much maybe thats why, also never got them)

Riptide rules them all

Scratch was a forgetable generic "male" Skylander for me. I've been kicking myself for not getting her sooner, as she turned out to be really awesome, like Catgirl Peach in Super Mario 3D World game. MEEEOW!

Echo was another one that I thought was a forgettable male, but turned out to be way cool. The dragons always trick me as they could be either. Zap could just as well be a female if he had a set of girly eyes.

Zap X Echo forever <3

Anyway, I missed out on Scratch as well. Only figure that I've really regretted not buying

I don't know, because I've probably already forgotten about him.

I thought Bash and Zap were girls when I first played SSA. Also thought Drobot was genderless like a robot. Oh, and Dark Spyro was a female character separate from normal Spyro. (Since I had no idea of the canon, I made up completely different personalities for my first SSA crew. Good times.)

As for 'forgettable' Skylanders, the Swappers all seem a bit much of a muchness to me. I think it's because the restrictions on body shape and size means they don't have very distinctive silhouettes a lot of the time. And swapping their top and bottom halves quite literally mixes them up!

Of course I've probably forgotten any truly forgettable Skylanders, but there's no time rn to pull out my figures and refresh my memory : )

So here are mine (I don't have all TT Skylanders so I might miss some)

10) Countdown - I love this guy, but nobody talked about him after his initial release, and suffered Wave 1 Syndrome

9) Torch - I have never played with her since she was first released

8) Zap - It always feels weird using him in newer games, because by newer game standards, he doesn't feel Skylandery

7) Drobot - He only ever had one useful attack, and as a result he was a boring character

6) Popthorn - He was overshadowed as a character by his adventure pack, and his attack strategy was too varied to spend any extended amount of time on

5) Zook - He just was so goofy looking, he was forgotten

4) Chill - I think her personality as a Skylander didn't work, and her humanoid look was boring

3) Jet-Vac - Was a bit to generic of a design, and the fact he was in the most boring element

2) Chop Chop - His sheild was kinda worthess unless you upagrade it a certain way. Any attack you need to take damage to use isn't worth it

1) Hoot Loop - His attacks always felt a bit week, and the fact his tertiary didn't do that much made an amazing concept for a character incredibly underwhelming

What do you want to mean by "wave 1 syndrome".
I'm kinda new to the skylanders universe since the trap team.

I do not like Stump smash. It is slow and skills seem to have no symbioses, making it weak and easily forgettable. Without forgetting its design: a tree with hammers for arms.

Well, I can only speak for the Skylanders of the first two games since I stopped with Giants due to financial restrictions, but my most forgettable (in no order):

-Zook (don't like his design and never had much fun with him; in fact, I'm not sure if I remember what his attacks are)
-Slam Bam (I don't use him much, not a big fan of his attacks I guess)
-Prism Break (he's kinda slow and his attacks aren't the best)
-Flameslinger (I don't really like his attacks either so I don't use him much)
-Boomer (again, his attacks are boring to me)
-Drill Sergeant (he's slow and I just don't tend to use him much; his attacks are a bit generic I think)
-Stump Smash (not a fan of his attacks really)
-Swarm (he can be fun to play since his attacks are okay and he's kinda fast... when I remember that I have him)
-Crusher (painfully slow to move and to attack; not a big fan)
-Sprocket (I don't care much for her design and I don't like her second attack at all, I almost never use it)
-Shroomboom (his attacks aren't that great imo)
-Jet-Vac (again, meh attacks and I find he gets overshadowed easily by the other air Skylanders like Whirlwind and Sonic Boom)

Wave 1 Syndrome means that characters which were released at the release of the game are forgotten very quickly since there are a lot of characters on release and there are still better ones coming.

Activision be like "Spyro"
