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.

Wait, they were items?

Well, Lets be Honest, he REALLY couldn't be her son, as Wolfgang and Her have only been an item for a couple of weeks, and it would be like a Golden Wolfgang Hybrid-Thing.

He definitely isn't Golden Queen's son because he is confirmed to be a mummy.
Golden Queen isn't a mummy, and is speculated to be a Golding.

Grave Clobber has been given no information as of now. Except for trap quotes, everything else is speculation.

#4601 Kat-Kun 19:27:15 12/09/2016
...No. He isn't.

But he could be in a fan fiction...! smilie
IT NEEDS TO BE MADE. SOMEONE DO IT.

Grave clober wasn't Golden Queen's son?

Well, yes. Grave Clobber does send his minions into a watery grave.
In Battlecast, he is dead set on MURDERING the Skylanders, going so far as to killing his own minions to rank up.

He's PRETTY DARN loyal to Golden Queen, doing whatever it takes to get the job done, it seems.

True it could be. Grave Clobber is hired because he can send his minions into his 'Watery Grave' smilie

Enemies I've ment on the minions part, sorry!

#4597 omer1698 17:45:56 12/09/2016
He probobly will not be very elemental like tkc, and i belive that the fact he is one of the most loyal minions to gq mught be part of his backstory.

#4596 Dalton977622 17:43:27 12/09/2016
sorry that's just my speculations. Looking at the poster and back, there's bones comes out of the ground just like he uses it in Trap Team. although, he change from earth into water might not make sense. I guess in Golden Queen's Golden Contract that if she joins, she needs her minions to join as Sensais as well.

Though I do not mind Bad JuJu, She's fine smilie

#4594 Kat-Kun 17:34:34 12/09/2016
Why does 70% of the community think that there cannot be two of the same class in the same element?! Nobody EVER confirmed it!

#4593 Dalton977622 17:33:24 12/09/2016
Cannot wait for the release! The Chompy Mage looks so cool.

I've watch the forums about Grave Clobber being a Brawler and I've find that hard to believe because there's already a brawler. Chompy Mage did not show his bazooker so that could be a possibility of Grave Clobber not showing off his sword but in a class of Knight. However, Blaster-Tron's Blast Sword from the Creation Menu could be a thing. I just want to caught up somethings while I was off

WAIT, YOU CAN PRE-ORDER THE FIGURES ON AMAZON NOW?!

Gosh these figures are so detailed! Chompy Mage's puppet looks like it's really made of fabric!

Fun Fact: Chompy Mage's backstory mistakenly lists the Doom Raiders as the Doomlanders once in it.
