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.

From Pit Boss's position, I would say he's a Swashbuckler, but I don't think a Tech Sorcerer would be that exciting, so I agree with who ever said he would be fit for a Sorcerer. Also, I think the missing Tech Senseis should be a Bazooker and Swashbuckler; for the missing Magic Sensei and Mysticat, Sorcerer and Bowslinger; for Air Strike, Quickshot; for the unknown Dark Sensei, Bowslinger (obviously); and for Chompy Mage and Boom Bloom, Bazooker and Ninja. Lastly, I agree that Glumshanks would be an appropriate addition to the Senseis, probably as a Bazooker with Arkeyan armor, and having a lot more muscle on him!

Now I know some of the villain were change into different element because of their color scheme to match the element. Grave Clobber is blue, Tae Kwon Crow is wearing a red ninja outfit and Hood Sickle is dark. Is definitely Luminous for Light not Nightshade. I really hope Glumshanks is the 11th because it will be awesome if Kaos and him have a scene in the end of the game were they are battling.

I guessed Glumshanks could not take all the bullying he get from Kaos and started to stand on his own.

@Squicman - both Superchargers and Senseis are willingly sent to Earth as toys, since they were recruited after the Core of Light was destroyed the first time. It's never explained how or what's the advantage though.

@BB Pop Fizz - Dunno, it's working for me on my phone. Just try to open the image on a new tab.

@omer I'm not so sure about that, it looks like he has a weapon in each hand, so quickshot maybe?

Wait, if villains turned good, how are they turned to figures and send to earth? Or was that lore destroyed in Superchargers?

i have a theory about the eleventh villain it might sound crazy, you might think i was high or drunk when i typed this. but let me tell you somthing, this game showd us mountian of suprisies with the villains. when we thought about number 11 we came up with kaos which now we now that cant change his ways but think about it, over the games there was only one vilain that dangeld between good and evil, one villien we saw as a complete loser, but in this year of suprises he might supries us all thats why i assume that villain number 11 will be no other then glumshenks!
