Fixing Every Starter Pack In Skylanders

Thanks for watching, and please remember, this is just what I would personally do, and everyone is going to have a different thought process!

[@Tacoman4655]

I heard activision wanted to market to young girls along side the obvious young boy demographic. Hence almost every starter pack having a female. With that restriction I think they did a pretty good job.

[@anthonystrangio]

Activision: “we need a female character for the starter pack” Stealth Elf:

[@greathoonta3461]

The point of the starter pack is to give good balanced Skylanders, but also leave enough desire for more Skylanders. That’s why they always chose good well rounded Skylanders, but not the best.

[@themaskedinc.786]

I also prefer close range characters but Snap Shot is the leader of the trap team (even tho that is never suggested in the cutscenes) so it takes sense to keep him in, I'd just change the core to like Fist Bump like you said since he's more of a close range character. Also not you just casually putting 2 of the big 3 in the starter pack 💀

[@regeterpedro2380]

What's that big 3?

[@themaskedinc.786]

@@regeterpedro2380 the most expensive Skylanders like ever cuz they were the last released (Green Chompy Mage (was only found in a Amazon deal with 5 other villains), Wild Storm & Ro-Bow (both were the last Skylanders released so no one bothered to buy them))

[@ethantreadway9478]

Well the Trap Team Leader could of been more likely Wo-Op the Earth Hammer Trap Master (Hammer it Whole)

[@Magneekic]

It dose indeed take sense

[@themaskedinc.786]

@@Magneekic *does :)

[@whackyzachy1482]

The reason a repose was even in the starter pack was to introduce wow-pows, now could they have chosen a better skylander, absolutely.

[@lacc3170]

I thought it was to coincide with the first level's Elemental Realms. Like for example, in Giant, the Life, Undead and Air Realms were present in the first chapter so they give you three Skylanders of each. In Swap Force, you receive Stealth Elf series 3, Blast Zone and Wash Buckler. There's an elemental realm for Water, Fire and Life, alongside a Climb and Rocket challenges, which are totally doable since you got everything you need for this level in the starter pack. In Imaginators, the first Sensei Shrine is a Brawler one, and you receive King Pen. For SSA, STT and Superchargers, I still don't know since I only bought the box without the starter pack.

[@whackyzachy1482]

@@lacc3170 if they changed the skylander in the starter pack they would have changed the zones in the first level

[@francy5492]

I agree with somewhat with all of the else besides the imaginators. I agree with Chompy Mage he’s iconic. But Robow? I feel like you’re putting him there bc he’s rare now. I feel like Kingpin has a basic but powerful moveset perfect for a starter pack

[@GastLordYT]

Agree

[@venomgaming7014]

Ro-bow wouldn’t exactly make the most sense as he was the last skylander released. I’d personally go for 2 creation crystals, one of chompy mage, Wolfgang (because Wolfgang is awesome) or grave clobber and either buckshot or king pen.

[@misstad6887]

The Trap team starter pack was the best you cant change it. The life and water trap were so iconic and will always have a place in me. "foooooood fight"

[@chumbum3041]

I feel like this whole list is basically the first half, “meh, not too much change.” And the second half is just trying to be different, that’s just me. I do respect your opinion

[@kianlangthorne7238]

To me krypt king always looked more like a final unlock character one you'd have to wait till you could play as

[@spitfire5180]

Personally I would've chosen SSA: Spyro, Gill Grunt, Stealth Elf - As much as Trigger Happy is great, its good to have a melee skylander in the mix. Stealth Elf and Gill Grunt also have eternal sources in the first half of the game Giants: Tree Rex, Jet-Vac, Hot Dog - Varied playstyles, elements, body shapes and colours, making the characters look more interesting SF: Wash Buckler, Blast Zone, Scratch - Perfect two choices for swappers, if scratch wasn't the rare wave 4 skylander she is now, I think she'd work well. She has fairly wide appeal as well as unique body type, unique colours and air is used fairly frequently in the first half of the game. I think Scorp is also a decent option TT: Snap Shot, Torch (Life Trap, Water Trap) - Torch works well for melee variety, plus she has a design that feels distinct from Snap Shot's. Chef Pepper Jack is also quite early in the game. SC: Spitfire, Big Bubble Pop Fizz, Hot Streak - Mix of melee and ranged, fast and slower. I would've picked Stormblade and Lava Lance Eruptor but I think the Hot Streak is the perfect vehicle for the starter pack Imaginators: Ember, Chompy Mage, Water Crystal - They both have range variety, Chompy Mage feels like a more iconic villain than Golden Queen to me. Only issue in my opinion is that they would have to move around the placements of the sensei shrines. I changed the imaginite crystal so that its not the same as one of the other elements but I can imagine Air, Magic, or Earth also working

[@ulyssessutherland1670]

The problem with haveing thrillerpeed and deep dive gill grunt is that then the vehicle doesn’t get super charged

[@crislunaverellen6563]

Speaking of Starter Pack, I need to think of one for my Skylanders Eclipse game! I mean, each starter pack gives us one core skylander and a gimmick one each (excluding Spyro's Adventure) and well, my dark and light roster is 32 (16 each) and I really need to think on who should be a perfect fit! On the other hand, I kinda don't want to make a starter pack and instead have the game and figurines sold separately. Which, does mean I'll need to decide on who should be instant buys, since I'm sure the six Skylanders installments did like waves of each Skylanders toys.

[@vincenzomarinostylex9765]

Snap Shot is the best. He deserved to be in the Starter Pack.

[@bleepingbunny4446]

so you've just put 2 of the big 3 into a starter pack

[@Cloud_Breaker]

They should’ve replaced the creation crystal with wildstorm 💀

[@elibridgers2781]

For the Wii U Dark Edition of Skylanders Superchargers, Dark Hot Streak and Spitfire should be replaced with Supershot Stealth Elf and Sea Shadow, as the Wii U version already has Donkey Kong and the Barrel Blaster, and I see 2 land vehicles in 1 starter pack as redundant. It’s okay for the Wii Starter pack, as Bowser and the Clown Cruiser were the combo, and having Hot Streak and Spitfire as a land combo makes sense, as there is a lack of redundancy.

[@ethantreadway9478]

The regular Wii U starter Pack literally has 2 Life Skylanders. They should’ve gone with Turbo Charged Donkey Kong, Barrel Blaster, and Dive-Colps

[@sherlockkrankcase3578]

For Superchargers though you kind of have to choose a paired vehicle with one of the two and neither of their vehicles are land which is the only required type to beat the game

[@joshwyse9777]

i totally agree on all of these exept imaginators personaly i think king pen is just a more classic skylander

[@AlexMartinez-gv7hy]

I disagree with Giants suggestions. It mainly to show off the new wow pows that the series 2 have, with swap force I agree a new core should have been chosen.

[@ethantreadway9478]

I agree with your Giants take, but for your Swap-Force saying, Ninja Stealth Elf shows off how old Skylanders can be changed, and is also a Female to bring in Young Girls.

[@declanb2]

I feel like the superchargers starter pack should have whichever character supercharges the vehicle in the starter pack like it does with spitfire in the starter pack, so maybe high volt and the shield striker would be better than thrillipede. Otherwise I completely agree, thrillipede and gill grunt would’ve been amazing as starters

[@Wutever917]

SSA- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy Giants- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy Swap Force- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy Trap Team- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy Superchargers- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy Imaginators- Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy, Trigger Happy. My point? Trigger Happy is love, Trigger Happy is life.

[@ArminaticsVoiceArtist]

Nah Snap Shot is far more friendly as the poster boy. He is also in that one trailer and looks more friendly.

[@Spikey_Spike]

With Superchargers, I would probably keep Spitfire but replace Stealth Elf with Stormblade as she was the face of the flying vehicle characters whose vehicle was used to show off flying segments.

[@Kingofportals]

I wonder what the starter pack for a Skylanders Remastered Trilogy with SSA, Giants, and Swap Force

[@susanclay4225]

All 9 figures from the origional 3 games starter packs

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

One major fix for Spyro’s Adventure is to actually make it feel like it is Spyro going on an adventure by having him and Cynder interact in the cutscenes with Cali, Flynn, and Hugo. Another fix would be giving his moveset more prudence to him being a master of the elements, but preferring fire by using the d-pad to toggle which breath he uses. You forgot to mention the Wii U starter pack for Superchargers with Donkey Kong and the Superchargers Racing starter packs with Bowser.

[@alobaymar]

ok but once you are in the empire business you'd understand starter packs with shitty skylanders will get you more money as kids buy more and more and more

[@Wuumbu_Ent3]

Krypt king wozld be a bad choise since in the first 4 chapters or so theres no portal, while in the firat level theres an water portal and its kinda part of the tutorial

[@Owenbot3000]

Removing spitfire is criminal

[@Blobbers117]

Another banger bro ❤️ Keep putting out these unique vids!!!

[@skoggis6025]

The SuperChargers one won't work as you need a superchargers combo in the starter pack in my opinion

[@Anonimo-cf1hz]

cynder is the one who hurts me but i undestand, after all she mean a lot to me for the memories and when i get my started pack from the 3ds i was so happy to have her, and for me make sens, in the firts game you have spyro and the second you have cynder, is the way i see but i understand she can be change for someone else with stealth elf, i undestand that one more, mostly the super charger one, alredy she show in swap force, why she again in a started pack? is the one i agreed the most

[@misterme8124]

SSA: wham shell spyro trigger happy SG: swarm shroom boom pop fizz SSF: night shift free ranger count down STT: water trap food fight life trap night light rest are same as him

[@brycemacdougall6162]

So you just change trap team starter pack from two ranged characters to two melee characters. Not really a problem but why bring up that snap shot is a ranged character

[@antonfriberg4964]

I think you should go with a starterpack Skylander from Superchargers that has a car, or a ground vehicle, hence the car parts are the main focus and necessary to have if you want to beat the game. So instead of Thrillipede I think you could go for either Smash Hit or High Volt, but Spitfire works well.

[@countclackula7390]

I honestly would have swapped spitfire and the hot streak out for another road vehicle skylander because you need a road vehicle to actually beat superchargers and a road character to match and show of supercharging

[@lorcanhayes4775]

I think a cool concept would be releasing different starter packs per game but not habing those characters be exclusive, like swap force could've been started with the same on like wii and wii u and then on like xbox we got stink bomb, night shift, and s3 eruptor, i think it'd have been cool and given more variety to how different people played with what they had and spoke about it with their friends so their friends would be convinced to get the characters.

[@-Vob-]

Cynder was in the giants starter pack so you could enter all the elementa gates in the first level Quick edit: I do agree tho that pop fizz would be a better pick

[@runethfc]

Spyro, Gill Grunt, Stealth Elf Tree Rex, Flashwing, Flameslinger Wash Buckler, Blast Zone, Roller Brawl Snap Shot & Chopper Stormblade, Lava Lance Eruptor King Pen & Chompy Mage

[@undeadking8068]

In this universe where this is real king pin and golden queen are 200-400 opened to 400-900 sealed :)

[@monke7919]

It might be redundant to do double life's in the starter pack but for imaginators I'd do chompy mage and ambush, maybe replace chonpy mage with Crankcase and make the creation crystal a 3rd element aswell maybe water or keep it fire?

[@MarvellMan]

I would give ANYTHING to go back to toys to life days

[@susanclay4225]

3ds starter packs fixed Spyros adventure- Spyro, igniter, stealth elf Giants- tree Rex, jet vac, pop fizz Swap force- rattle shake, free ranger, smoulder dash Trap team- Gusto, flip wreck Superchargers racing- hammer slam bowser, clown cruiser, super shot stealth elf

[@matildacancel3825]

I would replace trigger happy with chop chop because undead skylanders are just more eye catching and I’d get rid of series 2 cinder with with any light core And jet vac with pop fizz. Then get rid of ninja shelf elf with light core bumble blast. Then snap shot for wild fire. Then super sniper shelf elf for deep dive gillgrunt and spitfire with thrillipede. Then king pen with crash and golden queen with kaos

[@Thegamingpirate684]

I bought the starter pack then my mum wouldn’t give me more money for the boss traps after I bought like £25 worth of skylanders 😂

[@RoadbloxGamer-uo8rc]

Blud why are you putting bumble blast in but then taking spitfire out (for being to good) bumble blast superior

[@RainSpinjitzuStudio]

If i would have changed the skylanders. Starter pack 1 best choice Starter pack 2 adding 3 of the giants eye brawl and swarm alongside tree rex. Swap force Remove the repose add 2 swappers grilla drilla and free ranger. With trap team i would have added No cores snap shot, jawbreaker, bushwack and knight light alongside with light, tech, water and life trap with the sunscraper. Superchargers is good Imaginators Add 3 imaginators a dark fire and magic chrystal and sensei starcast and blastertron

[@cofagrigusfan24]

I think maybe replace Gill Grunt or Trigger Happy for Stealth Elf cause come on, it's Stealth Elf, the #1 most popular female Skylander + it puts a melee Skylander in the starter pack

[@plat3782]

honestly ignore my last comment you already improved your audio tenfold in 2 days, good job man

[@quepow7840]

Tbh this is what i would change. Ssa: honestly im only keeping spyro as ngl feel like the 1st 3 should be dragons so im bringing zap and drobot in. Sg: ok tree rex is easily staying. Im also keeping cynder in as she is a good introduction to wow pows. Jet pac though l... nah hes bad. So im bringing in the other giants most iconic core pop fizz in. Swf: ok im not changing the swapers but i am changing the core. And since she is in a story scroll and the fact their is a air gate in the 1st level im adding horn blast whirlwind. Stt: would've kept them both but for me getting both of the starter soul gems in the 1st 4 levels. Thats a no from me. That is why im adding both gearshift and deja vu but im leaving the traps the same. Ssc: an op and a bad one. Ok im putting lava lance and and dive clops in. Si: im saying keep both senseis but replace the fire creation crystal with an air one as 2/3 senseis are in adventure packs making it hard to find one

[@smallerbaker5885]

I think they wanted a supercharged supercharger in the starter pack

[@T.o.o.n-hd6jq]

Will you make an alternate version of this for the 3DS starter packs?

[@Cloud_Breaker]

Possibly, right now I’m working on the dark editions

[@T.o.o.n-hd6jq]

Oh cool

[@PuppetBoss26]

The best remake was imaginators and trap team, i cant stand having two long range in a starter pack and the imaginators one just wasnt that fun and exciting to me

[@elimBaz]

I don't agree with most of these, the first 3 are valid, but I don't think your Trap Team, Superchargers and Imaginators characters could work. The starter pack Skylanders are supposed to be the most marketable characters in the roaster,so putting a Skylanders that doesn't even have a face (Kript King and Ro-Bow), or a character that could never be appealing to a child (Thripillede and Chompy Mage) wouldn't work as well as someone like Snap Shot. But still some of those make a lot of sense, like Deep Dive Gill Grunt istead of Super Shot Stealth Elf

[@koopawarss9162]

All starter packs should just been tree rex. Core tree rex, giant tree rex, swap tree rex, trap master tree rex, supercharger tree rex, and sensei tree rex!

[@Burnt_Toast_withsomeeggs]

In superchargers you should have changed the vehicle to match gill grunt or thrillipede

[@Pig_Shnitt]

I kind of like the concept of starte packs consisting of at least one smylander dedicated to ranfe amd one close range it's why I'd say giants and swap force were pretty good...but ssa is the GOAT

[@monke7919]

I'd personally say I'd rather get slobber tooth for the swap force starter pack core skylander but that might be my bias speaking

[@monke7919]

I feel like crypt king dosent really fit the vibe used for starter packs, also if you replaced foodfight with fistbump then there would be no ranged option In the starter pack and I feel like 1 range 1 Melle is the best option, also you did my boy food fight dirty

[@regeterpedro2380]

I disagree but respect your opinion. I think in the first 3 games, all elements should be displayed in the starter packs skylanders. So i would keep the ssa starter pack as well as the giants one, i think cynder is a great way of introducing the reposes and wow pows mechanics. But in the third game, we would need an fire and earth skylanders to complete the elements. So i would change stealth elf for Scorp, as he is a awesome earth core. In trap team, i would change snap shot for gusto, cuz that would be the third water starter skylander and swap force just had one. In superchargers, i think we could change stealth elf for lava lance eruptor, since he's iconic but haven't appeared yet and change spitfire for splat, cuz we can't have 2 fire skylanders in the same pack we need more feminine ones. And in imaginators, i think we can keep it, king pen is a very solid skylander and golden queen is the leader of the doom raiders.

My opinion robo is horrible because gameplay I saw of him is not great kingpin is better I would agree with you chompy mage chompy mage is better than Golden Queen but come on I want to replace snapshot with the wall up and keep food fight.

[@candy_face7796]

Ok so yes I agree with the Spyro’s adventure starter because hey, it’s iconic. Giants? Yes Tree-Rex can stay because he really a great skylander, but maybe swap jetvac for pop-fizz and maybe series 2 chop chop as they wanted to show the wow pows. Swap force, is fine I can work with that. Trap Team? Big disagreement there, Snap shot you could replace with something like Wildfire, but keep Food Fight, he’s too much of a starter skylander to be separate. Superchargers big disagree, Spitfire fits too much, also due to the fact that Land vehicles are required to complete the level, and you could swap out stealth elf for someone like Splash, to keep it in a bit of a mix. And finally Imaginators, while I do agree with Chompy Mage, I don’t agree with Ro-Bow, I feel like King Pin works better and I feel a lot of your want for Ro-Bow to be there is because of how pricey and rare he is now a days.
