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.

Pain-Yatta isn't really confirmed yet, we have gotten solid evidence to confirm him. So, for now, chompy mage still has a chance at smasher

haven't*

Don't you listen THE VILLAIN SMASHER HAS ALREADY BEEN REVEALED its going to be pain-yatta

And also as far as crash being a brawler I mean he can't count cause there are ten groups of senseis and 30 senseis so there must be three of each and then crash is an extra and then Kaos if they give him one but I think he'll have his own like how he's not really any one element

I think he's a smasher

But he could be sorcerer

Wait nvm

I'm glad u asked! lol

As u can see, he's not holding a Bazooka or Sword, so Knight and Bazooker isn't the way he's going, but that's not enough to pin him as a Brawler.

If we remember in Trap Team, he was able to smack emeries around with his staff while turning into a giant chompy and slamming himself around.

But some of you might notice is Crash a Brawler. But ask yourself this...dose he count? He's a guest character after all, and he had to be in some class.

Unlikely, all Smashers have been revealed.

Pain-Yatta, Chopscotch and Tri-Tip

I'm still pretty sure Chompy Mage is a Bralwer

The Khopesh is already the Mummy's Revenge weapon, which has an entirely different color scheme if I recall.

#2612 Matt-S 21:09:51 13/08/2016
I wondering if they'll be parts in the creation thing that can make a Moth man

If there is, I'm gonna call him Mojo Moth, because he's a sorcerer of the Dark element
