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.

I honestly will be please with whomever is our Light villain, but I am still thinking it will either be Luminous or Blaster-Tron

Maybe, but u have to admit, this is as close as we've got.

We need a Light villain, Blaster Tron is a Light villain. We need it to be a brawler, bazooker or knight, those swords are only used by Knights.

Blaster Tron, the Knight villain of the Light Element

Maybe they're taking inspiration it could have nothing to do with the villian after all there are grave clobber fists too.

But Cross Crow had those shoulder pads and Chill Bill had his backpack in Trap Team, Blaster Tron had a lazier gun, not a sword.

I'm just saying its something to think about

i had last night a graet idea for a female sorcrer techlander
i call her "data blast"

i even have backstory
data blast was an AI crated by a mabu scientist. the scientist treated her like his daughter and tolld her many story on the real world. thats whan data blast discoverd her dream: to explore the real world, but suddly she was limitid to the computer on her father's lab. one day a pack of draws invadied to the lab and took away the scientist so he can build for them weapons. unable to stop them, data blast lookd with out hope how those evil draws take her father away from her. Determined to save her father, she used her connections to the lab to create herself a mechanical body that will help her to find and save her father. now she explore skylands, fight the forces of evil and looking for her beloved father as one of the skylanders.

sorry for all the Grammar errors i made.

if pvp is back in the game hopefully they bring back skygoals as a mode that in my opinion was fun and am i the only one who doesnt like buzz he feels like a better version of flynn but more cockier

and flynn is more a comical hero but buzz is more like an add on of flynn just to add spice to trap team

in imaginators hopefully they have eon's head of justice to give the intro for imaginators

The Blast Sword is fashioned after his face. We've seen also Cross Crow shoulder pads, Chill Bill backpack, etc.

VVV I thought it was just some random theme but now looking at it, I see that it is called the "Blast Sword"...

Blast Sword? BLASTer-Tron? I'm taking this with a grain of salt, though.

#2478 Matt-S 01:11:27 11/08/2016
What themed Cross Crow?

#2477 Bifrost 01:03:42 11/08/2016
We've known that for a few months in the main forum, I think at least 3 people already posted this in the game page.

We've seen toons of villain themed stuff, even those clearly not making it in like Cross Crow.

Kaos may have like a Kaos class or something.

Blaster Tron would be good, if he was a fan favourite

I wouldn't hold my breath for Luminous.

btw, I just realised something, I was watching some creation gameplay with a Knight character and saw a sword that looked similar to Blaster Tron, this means he could be our Light villain and a Knight at that
