Hi all,

I know that Mega Ram Spyro has a longer tail and larger horns.

Ninja Stealth Elf has a black ninja outfit.

I think Thorn Horn Camo has larger horns?

Any other figures that were re-released for SwapForce also look different?

I was wondering if any did. Is Ninja Stealth Elf supposed to show up differently? Mine doesn't. The avatar image next to the stats bar does, but the character and animation when you put her on the portal doesn't. I was a bit bummed about that, as I like the ninja outfit.

Ninja Stealth Elf gets a new costume when she's fully upgraded

Hyper Beam Prism Break has red crystals in-game and S3 Whirlwind wears her new helmet.

Not sure about Lava Barf Eruptor since I've only used the Volcanic one.

Haven't tried Blizzard Chill yet, but I think she has new armor.

I believe all of the reposes this go around display the character after an advanced upgrade.

Chill has new armor, Cynder has a new looking skin (metallic purple), Turbo Jet-Vac has a black "suit", and Terrafin has the new claws.

They don't have to be the blue-based figure to be eligible for those upgrades that will make them look that way in-game, do they? Can't S1 stealth elf eventually get the same ninja costume in Swap Force?

If I remember correctly the "new" outfits only apply to Series 2/3 blue base characters that come in Swap Force packaging and unlock when you buy their Wow Pow.

And the Wow Pows are exclusive to the game/base they originated in, for example a Series 2 Stealth Elf (orange base from Giants) will not have the ninja costume and will use the spinning blades Wow Pow, while a Series 3 Stealth Elf (blue base from Swap Force) has the ninja costume and will do the tiger charge Wow Pow. A Series 1 Stealth Elf (green base from Spyro's Adventure) has no ninja costume and no Wow Pow.

Yes, they do have to be blue base figures. That is the incentive to buy the series 2 and series 3 figures. You get a minor in-game variant when they are upgraded. That was actually pretty smart by Activision. The only stealth elf that looks like Ninja Stealth Elf is the blue base Ninja Stealth Elf.

I know the looks of Thorn Horn Camo prior to any upgrades does not have any visual appearance difference. The Wow Pow for Thorn Horn Camo is something to do with explosive melons and I don't recall any mention of a horn upgrade. Haven't done the upgrade yet though so maybe it is just not mentioned? The Ninja stealth elf is very clear on the costume upgrade in it's Wow Pow though.

Mega Ram Spyro - Larger horns and tail (Wizball)

Ninja Stealth Elf - Different costume (Wizball)

Hyper Beam Prism Break - Red crystals (Corn_Hornet)

updated

lightcore flashwing glows as well.

Not to mention for Jet-Vac: His gun is different, too.

Fire-bone Hot Dog goes around with a bone in his mouth.

The character itself doesn't look different, but Heavy Duty Sprocket turrets and tank becomes golden. I think this isn't the case with her Series 1 version.

Yep, it's new.

The list is missing the new Whirlwind and her helmet...l forget what her official s3 name is

Edit: Horn Blast Whirlwind


Also, don't Chop-Chop's twin blades show up temporarily when he uses his pow-pow? Unless we're not classifying that as an image change since its not permanent?

For Fire Bone Hot Dog, he now has a bone in his mouth. He series 1 doesn't have this feature, as it if part of his Wow-Pow.

Just to clarify Thorn Horns visual upgrade (larger horns) does not take effect until you purchase his new ability with the exploding Melons. Before that upgrade he looks like regular camo.

Gill Grunt gets a new anchor wen you load his 1st attack

Twin Blade CC will use a second sword wen WP is activated and used

Eruptor looks a little darker in Swap force than the other games.
