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 agree sort of because the senseis will start with their sky chi and then when you activate a shrine with the right battle class it fills up your sky chi meter and gives you a prize like an imaginite chest

+omer1698 The only thing that makes people say that Grave Clobber isn't a Brawler is because of the fact that he is in the Water element along with King Pen, who is also a Brawler.
Nobody EVER said that two characters of the same battle class couldn't be in one element.

i always thoght that the elements alradey have leaders
magic: spyro
tech: trigger happy
earth: terrafin
air: whirlwind
fire: eraptur
water: gill grunt
life: stelth elf
undead: chop chop
light: spotlight
dark: blackout

but to have the very beings that are the metieral form of the elements might be nice, if it will be i bet those creatures will be no other then the ancients themselfs!.

like i say its pointless to talk on smothing this far, lest just focus on what we have right now and not what we might have in the futare.

What if in skylanders 7,it's the final game, so they bring all the unused villains,bring in the supercharger racing villains(mesmerelda,spellslamzer,dragon hunter etc.),bring in glumshanks, kaos's mom, and eon. And maybe 1 God or ruler of each element.

Because of some huge threat because the skylanders need all the help they can get.

If Blaster-Tron looks like he's holding a sword, Grave Clobber can only be a Brawler.
smilie

BTW does anyone think Grave Clobber's figure is somewhere in the trailer when they are showing lots of figures?

Well, it's what it looks like, but Cortex's gun-staff and Chompy Mage's tiny cannon means we could still be getting weird weapons for Grave Clobber and Pit Boss.
