Story
The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as "Mind Magic" to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secret, Kaos has unleashed the power of "Mind Magic" into Skylands once again - and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it's up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination and stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time - the Senseis!
Characters
For new playable characters there are 20 brand new Skylander Senseis as well as 11 former villains. Along with their element each Sensei will also have a Battle Class from a list of ten: Smasher, Knight, Ninja, Bazooker, Quickshot, Sorcerer, Brawler, Sentinel, Swashbuckler, and Bowslinger.
The first set of characters to be revealed included King Pen, Golden Queen, and Tri-Tip. Here is a table containing all of the new Skylanders, click the + to see all the known variants:

Senseis
"Sensei" is the collective name for the new set of Skylanders (the villains also function as Senseis), their Battle Class determines the types of attacks and weapons they use as well as which abilities they unlock for your Imaginators. They all have a new type of super attack called Sky-Chi that slowly fills up as you defeat enemies until it reaches a point where you can unleash it on your unsuspecting foes (quite similar to the ability Trap Masters had in the 3DS version of Trap Team).
Owning a Sensei of a particular battle class will unlock a Secret Technique for your Imaginators of the same class. As well as that they will each unlock an item and a weapon for use in customisation. Senseis will also be able to access areas known as "Sensei Elemental Realms".
Creation Crystal
Included in the Starter Pack is a Fire Creation Crystal, this allows you to create and store your very own custom Fire element Skylander. To create a Skylander of a different element you'll need to purchase a Creation Crystal of that element.
Be aware that once you select a Battle Class you can not change it on that Creation Crystal ever again. So choose carefully!
Starter Pack
In the Starter Pack you get the Water Sensei Master King Pen, the Earth Villain Golden Queen, and a Fire Creation Crystal. The portal included is identical to that of the Swap Force portal (some regions instead have a modified SuperChargers Portal without a trap slot).
There is also once again a Dark Edition of the Starter Pack, it contains three Dark variant Skylanders (King Pen, Golden Queen, and Wolfgang) and three standard Creation Crystals (Fire, Life, and Dark). The pack also comes with a Gold Imaginite Mystery Chest that unlocks some gear for your Imaginators.
And there is a "Crash Edition" that is only available on PlayStation 3 and 4, it has the same contents as the regular Starter Pack plus the Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex toys. The characters will be available in a separately sold Adventure Pack at a later date.
Platforms
The game is only appearing on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the Wii U. That means no Wii, 3DS, or Tablet versions this year.

tussle sprout should be life
slobber trap should be earth or life
threatpack should be tech
scrap shooter should be tech
masker mind should be magic
eye five should be magic or undead
blaster-tron could be light but he's a possibility for tech
Lob Goblin should be tech
eye scream should be undead
fisticuffs should be tech
This is what i think the roster will be:
brawlers: king pen, unknown light villain, unknown magic
sorcerers: golden queen, mysticat, pit boss
smashers: tri-tip, pain-yatta, chopscotch
bowslingers: wolfgang, unknown light, unknown dark
quickshots: dr krankcase, unknown water
sentinels: ember, hood sickle, barbella
swashbucklers: bad juju, aurora, unknown tech
ninjas: tae kwon crow, starcast, boom bloom
knights: wildstorm, ambush, grave clobber
bazookers: flarewolf, air strike, chompy mage
There's just one thing that i can't place, the last quickshot
the brawler, smasher, bowslinger, sentinel and swashbuckler lineups are known and i think that the other lineups are the ones i listed but that would leave us with 1 tech skylander and 1 open slot for the quickshot class left, but with krankcase already being a quickshot that seems unlikely (except if he's a light element because of his white base) I just don't know.
Mysticat: Quickshot
Flarewolf: Bazooker
Starcast: Ninja
Boom Bloom: Brawler
Pit Boss: Sorcerer
Air Strike: Ninja
Aurora: Swashbuckler
This would make me happy as well cause then I could get mainly people I really ike IF the bowslinger are light and dark and the other magic sensei is a Sorcerer and the other tech sensei is a Bazooker. I'd give you 1 of every element and battle class without buying anything extra.
King Pen: water and brawler
Mysticat: magic and quickshot
Pit Boss: undead and sorcerer
Tri Tip: earth and smasher
Ember: fire and Sentinel
???: tech and bazooker
Aurora: Light and swashbuckler
Ambush: Life and knight
Hood Guy: dark and bowslinger
Aurora Strike: air and ninja
Sorry for the long post. I'm just so excited for this game haha.
Also, I think it is cool that Grave Clobber, Bad Juju and Hood Sickle are together again. I always thought they were good cohorts!
VV Umm, thats not exactly logical.
1. Eye Five barely is a Light villain. Doesn't fit the color scheme.
2. Luminous could be a Light Brawler. No one expected Wolfgang to be an Archer, and he wasn't back in Trap Team. Luminous was also the Champion of the Brock's Rumble Club.
Either way, Luminous or Eye Five is getting in, unless Bad Juju replaces them, which I'll be pissed about.
