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.

thats why its wierd, at first i thoght that once again he betryed eon, the npcs and the skylanders again, which was accepted at first but now if he is a skylander and a main villain at the same time it got to have a reasonable explanation for this mess.

Well technically he joined the skylander team at the end of superchargers

I think it's diffrent with jet-vac because he is on our side (plus many games have already done this where a character is an npc and a playable hero at the same time ) but Kaos being an antagonist and a hero at the same time wouldn't make any sense

Or maybe he's only playable after you beat the game, anyway I saw a demo that had jet cab escorting you around the level, but what if your playing as jet vac, would a different skylanders be there instead or would there be two jet vacs, it sounds odd, also I'm thinking boom bloom is going to be a ninja, any thoughts on that

Sorry for the typos, autocorrect is stupid sometimes

Based on the pictures id say mysticats tail isn't a scorpions but why are people saying manticores have wings in lore manticore a have the head of a lion body of a goat and tail of a scorpion, where are the wings coming from, sooty this is kind of off topic but I'm curious cuz I really like manticores

On another note I'd really like to know the name of the water character cuz I think she's my favorite water skylanders this year, grave clobber and King pen are both kind of boring in my opinion, wish they would have gone with gulper

Wild Storm is definitely as Knight, no doubt there

@pwnage That's basically how I feel when I'm waiting on SL to come out

#2571 Luminous35 22:53:17 12/08/2016
VVVVVVV I know, but I was adding another point to that list, since Air Strike isn't Wild Storm, the Air Knight is almost 100% guaranteed Wild Storm.

we'll have to see what we can work with, I wonder if u can give a character stripes or poke-a-dots

I think I know how to make a lion head, but there'll have to be a lion mane head gear
avatar
#2568 Bloxz 19:27:12 12/08/2016
Well there is a lion head mask hat
avatar
#2567 Matt-S 19:21:28 12/08/2016
it's ok, not anyone's fault, it was just a discussion.

But look on the bright side, if the next magic character isn't a manticore, we can just make one, hopefully there's a lion head as a part
