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 don't really think there is a name for what Mysticat would be considered. He resembles a centaur more than anything.

Here's an interview that vicarious visions did talking about crash if you guys are interested http://play.st/2b3k8gg

Sorry for double posting...but are they going with the same design for the crash remakes because I don't find it that appealing smilie
avatar
#2933 Matt-S 13:00:32 17/08/2016
Oh, right smilie

As for Mysticat, Chimera's are usually part of three animals, lion, goat and snake. He has the lion part down, but not the other two.

I know I've seen something like Mysticat before, i'll have to look into it

I'm sold that the yeti guy is light, the one eyed hooded guy is dark, the mystery tech Sensie is a bazooker, and the mystery magic sensei is a quickshot. Can have tech Sensie be quickshot, not with Krankcase, and with how I mentioned you could get 1 element and 1 battle class by only buying the minimum of 9 extra skylanders (with the starter pack of course). Now I have to decide which "team" I want, they both have characters I like. Team 1: King Pen, Air Knight, Boom Bloom (I say she's ninja, doesn't really fit any of the other remaining classes), dark hooded guy, Aurora, Tech Bazooker, Ember, Tri Tip, Pit Boss, and magic quickshot. OR team 2: Water quickshot, Air Strike, Ambush, Starcast, Light Bowslinger, Tech swashbuckler, Flarewolf, Barbella, Chopscotch, Mysticat.

The new guys are cool and stuff...but I think that I'm going to stick with the crash pack and the Villans.
There just too many

I think Mysticat might be a Chimera,

Also, I thought Aurora would be floating

But yeah, I think omer1698 meant smilie, since both her and Starcast were both intergalactic characters summoned

#2929 AmbushFan 12:49:55 17/08/2016
I think he means Star Strike.
avatar
#2928 Matt-S 12:46:35 17/08/2016
i think u mean Air Strike and there's nothing in Starcast's backstory about Air Strike

BTW, @Drobot88 can u try posting the link you were trying to before?
avatar
#2927 omer1698 12:43:03 17/08/2016
