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.

Am I the only one that hopes that Skylanders imaginators is the last game
A: This will mean Skylanders imaginators will most likely be the best one because the most time will be put into it
B: I love all the variety of figures but I can't just keep buying tons and tons of figures

Plz don't hate I was putting out my opinon ps I will still be really hyped for skylanders 7 anyways

I said this knowing that it is most likely that toys for bob or vicarious visions will make the 7th game

big question how does the mods work
speed make vehicles go faster
armor protect your vehicles
but what does handling weight and acceleration do on vehicles work

my skylanders superchargers had bugeds I cant see the mods
cant play skystone smash or do Tessa quests

thats why its wierd that he is a skylander now. he kept use them for his own reasons, even whan he help them to destroy the darkness it was from selfish reason.

Has anyone noticed that Kaos has been more of an anti-ally to the Skylanders lately?

First he teamed up with them in Trap Team, then he sided with the Skylanders to destroy the darkness, and now there's this. True, he did all those out of his own reasons, but still.

its to early to know, i suggest that we focus on the game and on the show until we know more details.

but i hope there will be 7th game and it wil be nice to have a new villain instead of kaos, he did some preety evil things but let the others enjoy the evil spotlight.

am i the only that think that the new chompies are a little creepy?

Never doubted the kaos figure for a minute.

But now the big question looms.... Will there be a a 7th Skylanders game? And if so who is the new main villain?

#2297 sunburnninja 00:58:14 07/08/2016
I need Starcast, Tae Kwan Crow, a Dark Imaginator, an Undead one, Ambush, and Hood Sickle.

It'd probably look a bit better having Crash on the opposite side of Kaos. They're both the extra characters after all.
