What do you think so far? I'll post their stories later.

Lycaon:

Lycaon used to be a necromancer, but one day an alpha wolf cursed him to become like the wolves. But the spell went wrong and he became a werewolf with the ability to become a wolf. He became the leader of the pack, beating the previous alpha. One day Kaos asked them to join his army. Lycaon accepted, but when he was closest to Kaos, he and the pack attacked Kaos. Kaos' minions saved their master & Kaos cursed Lycaon and killed the rest of the pack except the previous alpha wolf. The alpha took Lycaon to Eon to be healed, but sadly he died. Lycaon was cured, but was granted eternal life by accident. Upon hearing of the pack's courage & loyalty, he used his powers of death to bring them back to battle Kaos, as Lycaon was now a skylander.

Electrobot:

Created by an immortal Arkeyan, Electrobot had a home underneath the Arkeyan Armouries that had been discovered by Mabu. Living in secret didn't bother the Arkeyan, but Electrobot wanted to see more than just a cavern lit by light bulbs. One day, while his inventor was sleeping, Electrobot tried to leave, when his inventor intervened, Electrobot shocked him with a thousand volts of electricity. Electrobot then proceeded to go into the chambers, where he saw Mabu tourists snap pictures at him, thinking it an attack, he zapped them, and ran, or rather, drove out of the tunnel. He bumped into Drill Sergeant, who recruited him as a skylander.

Kitsune:

Part of a tribe of magical foxes, he was tired of just being a cub, seeing his friends gain more tails, he decided to journey on his own, without permission or help. He came across Kaos, who saw the magical fox and took him in as a pet. At first, Kitsune felt like royalty, but he kept hearing Kaos' conversations, and knew Kaos was evil. Kitsune began to develop a plan to attack Kaos and run out of the castle. He waited until the timing was right and attacked Kaos with teeth & claws before running from the castle. He ran into his tribe again, who granted him all nine tails, and telling him to seek out Spyro, a sacred purple dragon. Doing as his tribe had told him to, Spyro recruited him as a skylander.

Ravaging Revenant:

A swordsman who had no problem with being prideful, who caught the attention of Kaos. Being offered a chance to join Kaos' army, he declined, in his next round, Ravaging Revenant faced Kaos' best swordsman, who stabbed Ravaging Revenant, but the swordsman became a ghost and pulled the sword out before stabbing Kaos' swordsman. Ravaging Revenant then journeyed to find Eon, to join the skylanders.

Cog Native:

All Roborgs either became mechanics or evil henchmen. Except for Cog Native, who was more interested in books and learning. When he was old enough, his tribe disowned him. He had to fend for himself in the Ochre Outskirts, having to survive against Defective Robots and Battle Beetles. But unlike his kind thought, he had learnt from his books, and was fine, one day he came across Dune Bug, who was also dealing with Battle Beetles. After seeing Cog Native in action, Dune Bug recommended him to Eon.

Mirror Mirror:

She was once very beautiful and very powerful. But Mirror Mirror became self-obsessed, and one day, while she was working on some Fusion Shards, she was too busy staring at a mirror to notice that some Merging Sparks flew onto her mirror and her hands. She found that her hands were now mirrors, it was then when she heard a dragon's cry. She flew to see Bash saying that the eight elemental dragons (Sunburn, Zap, Sonic Boom, Flashwing, Camo, Cynder, Drobot & Spyro) had been taken by Kaos. Mirror Mirror then flew into the castle, and whenever Kaos attacked her, she defected the attacks with her hands, before shooting powerful lasers from her mirrors to blast the locks. Unfortunately, Glumshanks managed to stop Mirror Mirror before she could destroy Kaos. But with 9 skylander recommendations, she easily became a skylander.


I'll post the giants, shadow & light ones later.

Kitsune=Fox

Don't ask me where I got it but hey! Good Idea even!

Here's my ideas for the WOW POWs that come with the 8 Series 2 Variants:

Flamehorn Fryno - Blazing Biker Buddy:

Double-press attack 3 to summon Magma Bike, who rides a molten motorcycle next to you.

Sonic Punk Shock - Heavy Metal:

Hold Attack 1 to shoot an electric anchor.

Gem-Bound Scratch - Emerald Mask:

King Scorp - Acidic Stab:

Hold Attack 2 and release to stab the ground to create a crevice that poisons enemies who walk on it.

Shaman Zoo Lou - Eagle Instinct:

Spirit Birds now swoop down on smaller enemies and take them away.

Reaper Grim Creeper - Super-Scythe Striker:

Hold Attack 1 and release to summon a Living Scythe, that attacks enemies and gives small health with each strike. Your time is truly up now!

Re-Wind Wind-Up - Crank it Up!:

Hold Attack 2 to wind-up faster, and when you over-crank, excess energy is given off, causing an aura that damages nearby enemies.

Shadow-Wing Spyro - Flightless Shadow:

While flying, a shadow of Spyro walks underneath you, attacking nearby enemies with Shadow-Fire.

I think that there should be some more Variants, from the first game, these are ones that haven't been chosen much:

Molten Sunburn - Dragnix Dash:

Leave a trail of fire behind you when dashing.

Royal Wham-Shell - Excalimace:

Mace Attacks do maximum damage, and electrocute enemies after hitting them.

Tripping Voodood - Magic Minefield:

You can summon up to five tripwires that do even more damage.

(Voodood used to be Battle-Axe Voodood, but I changed it when someone brought up an issue about it)

For Voodood, why not make his WP something with these Wires? Since his Axe is already OP?

I like the idea. It's pretty cool. But, the new elements just don't really seem to work. Darkness is too much like Undead. Lightness is fine, but it doesn't seem like an element, more like a classification. Don't get me wrong, you have a lot of good ideas in here. I really like Kitsune. Good job!

Thanks for your review, it's helpful when people say what's wrong with your idea so you can change it. And I came across something in the forums the other day where someone looked at the Swap Force Adventure Packs and noticed that with a Clock and Vortex Geargolem, and a Time Spell Punk, there might be some Time and Space elements. So I'll change that soon, but I thought of Petrified Darkness, and I thought 'What if it got in the Core of Light?' and then I came up with the idea of Shadowshine Islands.
