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.

Has anyone notice both Mysticat and Scratch are both Sphinx and they both have laser paw attack?

the only thing we need right now from mysticat is its backstory.

thanks for captioning the obvious Bifrost. I said in my post that it is probably wrong. Read the whole thing properly next time before posting

and it is "run" not "ran".... "the wiki is run by fans"

The wiki is ran by fans. We don't know Mysticat's gender either, it was just there because no one assumed they'd sound androgynous.

Also i found this http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/Mysticat look at the Gender section. Once again, i know that it may be wrong but will keep looking for the answer.

Also while i was digging around i found this https://youtu.be/1Kbzwle67nw it is an interview with I-Wei Heung who designed many of the skylanders. His video contains some of the original designs for skylanders such as Crusher and the original poses too. Also i found out that Krypt King was originally gonna be the Undead Giant from a different source.

I've noticed one of the attacks for Light Imaginators allows attacking foes with rainbows.

Or should I say...PAINBOWS!

Mysticat is male, if you look closely he has a beard. Now i know that it is not proper evidence, but whoever makes the skylander designs will try to make a characterlook like they act or look like they are that specific gender. E.g. Most female humanoid skylanders have breasts. Where as Mysticat is not humanoid, neither is Knightmare really, but she still has breasts under ger armour so. I agree his voice is feminine but so are some real life male voices. His stance indicates that he is most likely male. He is standing with his legs apart, a male characteristic. I am not saying that women cannot be like men or that men cannot be like women, but Mysticat is almost 80% cofirmed as male by what we know at the moment.

mabey we should see his/hers backstory and see of he/she referred as male or female.

#5241 Hexisboss 14:10:36 26/09/2016
Two things about mysticat, 1 thought it was make up until I saw that now pretty sure it's female, 2 she literally said the word manticore around 1:35-1:40 range, even though she doesn't have a scorpion tail I think she's a manticore, maybe the scorpion tail will be an upgrade

*thought it was male up until... (sorry autocorrect)

#5240 omer1698 13:52:52 26/09/2016
