Skylanders: Giants

This game is coming out this fall and I'm pretty psyched for it. I actually am quite learned on details of the 16 new Skylanders, so here they are:

WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW THIS POINT

Normal Skylanders:

Magic: Pop Fizz: You may have heard about this guy. He's the new Magic Skylander, and he can throw deadly potions that unleash chaotic effects. He can change his potion anytime, and by changing quickly enough, he can create a massive explosion. Also, by drinking his potion, he can temporarily switch into a "Berserker Form", and wreak havoc with physical slashes of his monster-like claws.

Air: Jet-Vac: Another well-known mascot of this game, Jet-Vac is a bird-like creature with a Scottish accent. He's a lot cooler than he sounds. He has a flying move, however, he uses a jetpack instead of wings as you might expect. His primary attack is shooting what appear to be wind gusts out of his "handgun thing", and his secondary attack is turning his weapon into a vacuum that can pull enemies and loot closer!

Life: Shroomboom: Shrromboom will make his debut in the GameStop exclusive "Golden Dragonfire Cannon Pack". Shroomboom is a mushroom with one eye, and bears a slight resemblance to the minions from Despicable Me. He can launch a variety of mushrooms from his slingshot, including mushrooms that arch through the air, a steady stream of bouncy mushrooms, and mushrooms that parachute down on enemies and explode. He can summon a big slingshot and launch himself out of it, and also make a destructive ring of mushrooms appears around him. It also appears that by shooting a slingshot mushroom at the ring of mushrooms, the ring will pop in a fashion of two semicircles.

Water: Chill: The new Water Skylander, I'm actually unsure what Chill's species is. She almost appears human-like. She is armored in oriented metal, including a helmet with wings on it! Chill can throw spinning daggers, and create a line of giant ice cubes in front of her that can be pushed individually into enemies. Her seemingly third attack is probably the coolest attack in video game history, and that is... *drumroll* ...to summon a narwhal that rams  into enemies.  big_smile

Undead: Fright Rider: *sigh* We've come to my least favorite element in Skylanders. It's simply repulsive. But whatever the case, I must get on to what I do know about the new Undead Skylander, Fright Rider. Fright Rider's attacks are unknown, but what sets himself apart from all the other Skylanders is the fact that technically he's technically two characters. Fright Rider himself is a blue-skinned drow-esque creature with a pointy red helmet, and red cloth garments, and what appears to  be a metal spear. Fright Rider's "partner", if you will, is what looks like the skeleton of an ostrich with electirc blue orbs for eyes. Extending from his eyes is the same electric blue energy in the form of a rein for Fright Rider to hold.

Fire: Hot Dog: Finally, Wrecking Ball has someone to be totally adorable with. Hot Dog looks something like a cross between a puppy, and red stones with veins of lava running through his legs. While his attacks, like Fright Rider, are unknown, an interesting thing to note is that Hot Dog has a silver tag with the symbol of Fire on it.

Sprocket and Flashwing, the Tech and Earth Skylanders respectively, are very evasive in terms of their details. Sprocket is completely unknown about, aside from the fact that Flashwing being unveiled as the Earth Skylander instantly left the fact standing that Sprocket is a Tech Skylander; also, a blurry picture of Sprocket is known but near impossible to decipher. Flashwing however appears, by two blurry pictures of his toy form and a picture of his/her soul gem, to be something like a white bat with a beak.

I'll write the Giants guide later.

Re: Skylanders: Giants

I can't wait! Although I do find it a bit weird that there aren't many Giants anounced and just Skylanders. The only ones I know about are Tree Rex and the hornet guy.


If you want something to do while Scratch is down, check out tbgs.tk! It's the new version of the (closed) Scratch TBGS, run by Scratchers! I'm going to spend most of my time there, anyway.

Hmph. I've met my match.  tongue

Also, Eye Brawl is wart-ugly. (I like that term!) There is one known picture of him, albeit blurry, and he appears to be a giant statue with dark ominous wings, and a colossal eyeball mounted where the head would normally be.

BLEEEEEECCCCCHHHHHHHHHH

Re: Skylanders: Giants

OH MY WORD I JUST SAW PICTURES OF SPROCKET, FLASHWING, AND NINJINI

And my reaction?

D8

Sprocket looks like a red-headed HUMAN with YELLOW skin. D: Activision is really taking the Skylanders/LEGO Games comparison too far.

Ninjini looks like a blue-skinned elf, but ALSO with red hair.

Now don't get me wrong, red hair is fine. But on these skylanders... oh my gosh...


Flashwing is epic though, she's like a white dragon with wings of purple tzo.  big_smile

Re: Skylanders: Giants

Le bump.

Well, the official website is up, and they unveiled all the new characters, so I'm not going to tell you about them when you can go see the website.

It's worth noting that Fright Rider has more than 3 attacks. 0_0

Worse yet, it appears Jet-Vac won't have a Scottish accent!!! D':

So which Skylander/Giant do you want the most? TTTHHHHHUUUUUUUUMMMPPPBAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKK. (Hail to the whale!)

He can bite, belly slide, and cast anchor. At chompies. Totally makes up for the Scottish accent thing.

Re: Skylanders: Giants

Has anyone here besides me heard of Skylanders Battlegrounds for Iphone, Ipad, and Ipod? (no, I didnt get the Clod Patrol name wrong, Battlegrounds is different.) I saw a photo and from what I see combined with my prior knowledge of other accesory-based Idevice games that it will probably have the game free but you will need the starter pack with the Iportal to play. (The free app but necesarry portal thing is not confirmed, but this is my best guess.) Sorry for boring you with my unbelivably long comment but I wanted to share this info.

Edit: forgot to mention the figures that come with the starter pack are Jet-Vac, Cynder, Double Trouble, And the Pirate Seas Hidden Treasure.  Yes, There are four.

Re: Skylanders: Giants

Tree Rex is epic. I'm addicted to Skystones. And the game is wayyyyy better than Spyro's adventure.

Technically, he's one level before nothing (getting the series 2 figure of him along with Trigger Happy and Gill Grunt will get you a medal).

Re: Skylanders: Giants

Someone, help me stop staring at these gravity falls GIFs. XD

Seriously though, I'm going to use my brother's game that he got for his birthday. And you know what? IT STILL HASN'T ARRIVED IN THE MAIL. BOO HOO HOO. It's a real pain owning a jousting duo and nothing to joust. D;
