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.

V That's what I mean, like if you have a smasher loaded you can just change it to a bowslinger, but you have to enter every customisation (Heads, height) all over again

V It's being hinted toward that you can, but we;ve had sources say you can't. You can't change the class unless you reset it.

#763 Killerdj3k 15:37:52 19/06/2016
And does anyone know if you can change the class of an imaginator anytime?

V If Glumshanks was one I think Kaos would be Betrayed as ever

#762 SodaPopHD 15:36:52 19/06/2016
Maybe one of the Villains you got to unlock during the racing mode in SuperChargers would appear. StratosFear, Mesmeralda, maybe even GLUMSHANKS?!

VV WHAT IF DRILL-X RETURNED?

V Oh, well I'm pretty sure some villains from that will return!

Your last comment proved just that.

Ninja'd.

V No, not really...but there is a head in the creator (Hooded Mystery) that looks nearly identical to Spellslamzer's.

Wait... Doesn't that air sensei look A LOT like SpellSlamzer? Maybe they might bring a few more Supercharger Senseis in?

Again, get this through your head. Everything was fine until you and your "common sense" showed up. No one said that we weren't "agreeing" with you. We just hated the manner you said everything. Your comments are full of insults and swears to try to insult us. You called me a "mental midget" at some point. You really do need to work on the way you talk to people.

All which could have been avoided had you children been able to read.... which is not my fault.

#756 SodaPopHD 15:29:12 19/06/2016
What?! Need we remind you that it was your comment that insulted someone elses intelligence for no reason. It was so offensive that it gave us the impression of you being a low-life troll. That's what started all this. Things were fine before you came along.

That same stuff is seen in all of your comments. You're going crazy because everything hasn't been confirmed, when no one gave the impression of something that was confirmed in the first place. Have you seen any of your comments?

#755 Pokelander 15:20:46 19/06/2016
Go back and read the text I was insulted first so what makes you think I owe you people any shred of respect when I have received none myself....That's not how the world works?

I'm not trying to disprove anything on purpose I want to know all the facts and it seems that this board flows however the general consensus feels at the time , thus why I am giving you the CONFORMATION BS now, the same bs respect many of you have shown me in the last 72 hrs.

I went against every statement huh? I have never agreed with anyone on this board? And at that measure have you not done the same to me? Looks like you are no better than myself.

#754 SodaPopHD 15:14:05 19/06/2016
And we love how you just prove that you're a troll, going against every statement you could find and using common sense that is actually stupidity.

No one said it was actually confirmed, but we have a slight chance that Yroc may be telling the truth. He actually went to the event. You didn't. And people who went to E3 obviously have more info than us, since they recorded all of the news. I bet you didn't even know half of the stuff we know now prior to E3.

Seriously, your social skills and manners are completely out of whack. Just stop talking.

Love how you guys dodge the questions. So I'll ask you again and formally this time, Please pretty please with sugar on top link me to an official announcement.

That's what I thought.

IT WASN'T AT ALL CONFIRMED

#752 SodaPopHD 15:03:54 19/06/2016
Wow, this really isn't helping your case right now. All you're doing is proving that your comments are invalid...

#751 Pokelander 14:59:44 19/06/2016
And btw he has the same amount of info anyone who did or didn't attend e3 you mental midget.
