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.

so just noticed this about the poster that was on the box http://i.imgur.com/AqD76J4.png

If you look at the "kaos" bar on the poster it seems kind of big for just one figure, so what im getting at here is that maybe we are getting atleast 2 more in that bar (considering its roughly the same length as the light and dark bars at the top)

Anyone else remember what happened to Kaos when he used a portal on himself in Giants? What if when we put Kaos on the portal he enters skylands covered in lightning

i cant wiat to have a full roster
the only skylanders we need now for full roster are:
1x magic
2x tech
2x light
1x dark
1x water (only her name and gameplay)
1x air ( only gameplay)
and an officeal confeirm on pain yatta and bad juju.

and of course if its real, kaos class, we alradey know the element ( i acthully think that the "kaos" element should be calld the "portal" element cus he is a portal master and sanase they are the most powerfull beings in skylands...)

everything about this game is really exciting. The new figures, the villain figures, the chance to create your own. This has to be the best game yet

and now that i think about it she has more expierince as a skylander them him from both chronologicly and from the fact that i doubt thet they give the title sensei to everyone, i know that wolfgang is a sensei but i see it that thechnichly the villains have less experience in be a skylander the the others so i think there more of a rookies then a true skylanders.

It's nice to see a rock-star and his groopy get back together, if only she was a few feet taller lol

#2406 omer1698 14:08:47 09/08/2016
well at this point any thing is possible, chopscotch was wolfgang's groopy unitl he became a doom raider and then beat the crap out of him, and now there on the same team so i guess starstrike might be manthined in his backstory mabey.

Does anyone else think Starcast may be related to Star Strike?

It's okay, One of my Imaginators is a Water Ninja based off an Arctic Lemming
(I got the inspiration from Norm of the North after listening to Enter's hate of the movie and the lemmings....and I felt pity for the real life Arctic Lemmings)


Also, the body-structure works for this.
