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 have been waiting for a playable kaos figure since the first game,so I really hope is the the 11th villain.If not,then it better be glumshanks or dr.neo cortex from the crash games.

Every Sensei unlocks a part of them... we knew this.

I doubt Moneybone will make the cut, considering his malevolent nature in Funny Bone and Fiesta's backstories.

Also, when you scan in Crash, you get his arms!

V I had thought of it, but I never really considered it. In my thoughts, Golden Queen and Wolfgang became Senseis because they're flagship Villains. That's probably the reason those two even got trophies in the first place.

Maybe Moneybone would be a Sensei, but I kind of doubt it. His most fitting element would be Undead, or maybe Tech, and those are already occupied by Wolfgang and Krankcase.

Anyone else noticed how the villains that have their face on the trophies became senseis? (golden queen,Wolfgang) so i am guessing we are going to get a moneybone and kaos figure!?

Hm...I can see it happening. This is terrible reasoning, but Kaos was a trappable villain AND a raceable Villain in the respective last two games. Maybe we'd get to play as Kaos someway, but not as a complete Skylander.

TBH i don't want Kaos to become a sensi
1.it won't make any sense
2.kaos is getting boring

v but.. but... if he's the villain... then...

I have a sneaking suspicion that Kaos will be the eleventh villain. Mostly because he might sell decently.

V I don't even care about the eleventh one anymore this is all to confusing

I think Crash is one of the 31.

Meaning, 20 Brand New Senseis (2 per Element), 10 Reformed Villain Senseis (1 per Element) and 1 Guest Star Sensei (Extra Life).

As far as I'm concerned, the "11th Villain" is a myth.

And some sources say that all villains will be the doom raiders, some say they are from different games, and some say that it won't be the doom raiders, but they will all be from Trap Team.

I hope its the Doom Raiders so then I'm guaranteed to get my Luminous figure smilie

#1143 KingMed 22:40:33 02/07/2016
He said that he was part of the 31 but in another interview he said the he wasn't which is confusing because I really want to know if we're going to get another life sensei or is it just crash,Ambush and a villan .

#1142 midnightmagic34 19:43:05 02/07/2016
V He isn't. I'm pretty sure Lou said somewhere he wasn't.

some sources say crash is part of the 31, some say he isn't.
