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.

It is, but just ignore it and leave the man to be an asshole.

V It's still an a**hole move just to create a account to hate on the game.

Let him be. It's funny to see someone who's probably older than half the forum act like a child over the thing they don't like.

But let's talk about stuff we like instead. Grave Clobber shooting his arms like cannons as a Bazooker when. We need our mummy mech.

@PortalMasterRob - We have a full forum, there's even a General section for random needs.
For your question, you can change your Imaginator around at any time, but you need to reset to change classes. There doesn't seem to be any vault or something along those lines but you can use the selfie feature to have references if you want to recreate them.

Anyone know why this Haedox here has bothered to come here instead of the full forum? He introduced himself in the full forum with "I hate you all", probably expecting rage and people to fall for the bait. Real adorable.

I wished there is a chat room in this website because I really want to discuss more about Skylanders to all other fans out there. For example those creation crystals, is it possible to create more than one Skylanders in one crystal. If not, can we save them in the game like putting them like in a vault(like in Trap Team) and retrieve them. All l know that I am not buying 100 Creation Crystals.

Bad Juju is confirmed by a leak that also had Chopscotch, Aurora and Barbella. Swashbucklers in fact are representing by having mist/snakelike legs. Pain-Yatta was mentioned in an interview but it was so early we don't have full confirmation that he wasn't scrapped at some point, but he's very likely.

Is the info regarding Bad Juju and Pain-Yatta is correcting or just made up because it could be a different villain. All I know that the villain are bipedal and could walk properly well except for Dr. Krankcase. I think is still too early for all Skylanders fan to guess which villain to be made as a toy figure. They have to look awesome in both toy and in video game.
