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.

The orange+blue legs in that video are just the banana guy (there's a mirrored duplicate on the left side).

Heey, I see him! Even though that clip is supposed to be Imaginators, it could be just a really super secret easter egg for the diehard fans to find. If they really were trying to hide a marcupial in there, we might be in for a treat. An orange treat. Named crash. I donow just speculation from your friendly neighborhood, Ash. Also, who is with me on "Barkbarion" for the Life Sensei? Just remember that I called it whenever his name is revealed. smilie jokes never.

But haven't we had this whole Crash speculation before? Remember awhile back, we thought we were being teased for Crash as a Skylander before at the time Swap Force was being revealed. And then I think someone brought it up before Trap Team's release, too. So, whenever those games were released... No Crash. So, don't set yourself up for disappointment folks. There is still lots to be revealed.

He isn't VV's either. He's just on Activision, Sony, whoever owns him now. The smaller teams just do games for them.

Personally I don't think crash is like because he is not toys for BOB if he is ever going to appear it will probably be a Vicarious visions skylanders game but that's just me

If Crash is ever confirmed for this game, he would be of the Life element, as well as being voiced by Jess Harnell again, the voice of Blast Zone and Flip Wreck.

VVV No, I'm trying too hard to be smart. FYI, Crash is a marsupial...

But still, don't see him there. So what was the point of that comment?

Ninja'd VVVV

V Oh. Then in that case, maybe. But then again, it's blurry, and that is an Imaginator showcase.

Yeah, didn't see him either. Honestly I think "Earthworm Jim" has a better chance at a Skylanders cameo than ol' Crash... lol

And you're just being a huge jerk. Crash is a marsupial, get your facts straight. Bandicoots are weird but that's just how it is.

V "marsupial" Your trying too hard to sound smart.

V...the frick are you talking about?? King Pen and an Imaginator walking slowly away from ten pounds of exploding TNT? Where in Skylands do you see an orange marsupial?

#394 eddiej27 06:24:17 10/06/2016
If you look really closely at about 1:00 or so, you can see Crash.

V an ent? Got it. Thanks for the heads up. smilie i can agree with you. He does look pretty lit.

I don't know, dude. His head looks like an ant, but the rest of him looks like a tree.

Ash he is clearly an Ent, but he is my fave revealed sensei so far

Name for Life Sensei:

Barkbarion

Not official just made up by me (duh) trying to avoid the argument of what is confirmed and what is not. Lol

He actually looks like some kind of insect.
