In every game after Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Activision introduced new gimmick skylanders showing off the gimmick of the game. So lets take a look at these gimmick landers.

Skylanders was kind of created by accident,I don't remember every detail but I know the first Skylanders game was meant to be a sort of reboot for spyro the dragon as some of the previous spyro games didn't do too well.

I think trap team took the gimmick a little too far where kids didn’t want the cores anymore because of how much cooler the trap masters were. Trap masters open up elemental gates, deal bonus damage to villains, break traptanium shards, and have much bigger figures. I can totally see why kids wouldn’t buy the cores at all that year and I don’t think I did either. Which is why I think superchargers stripping back both the size of the roster as well as removing the difference between new cores and gimmicklanders all together was a great choice.
@kaptain-quake11 ай бұрын
This is probably why the trap team cores are considered some of the more forgettable skylanders
@janrautmann717911 ай бұрын
Superchargers only having gimmick landers was also a reason for them to raise the price for new skylanders, which I dislike. Especially because the vehicles could've been considered the gimmick skylanders. But they wanted to make more money. I do agree it was a good idea to only have gimmick landers, but they should have been the regular price and figure size of core skylanders.

@FrogMouth I didn't like superchargers, but something I did really like about it was the skylanders themselves.

My theory is maybe they dug the ground under a piece of traptanium so they now had this boulder with a large cluster of traptanium on it. They then used that to make some sort of impractical weapon that destroyed other traptanium clusters, and refined those into more practical ones

Eon broke through Traptanium in Superchargers, so I’m inclined to believe that the Portal Masters have a way of destroying it, meaning they possibly forged the weapons in the first place. It’s likely that Eon himself made the Trap Masters’ weapons, at least that’s my headcanon

I think this game series is still so cool at the age of 22 today. It was ahead of its time when I was about 10/12! The swap gimmick was the last time I've ever heard from them. Family was poor back then and we had to move a couple years later so they couldn't buy me a set. Ngl, kinda broke my heart, but it is what it was. I still look back at it and all the fun conversations I had with my friends. Gosh, I wonder how much the gold figures cost now...? I had a couple of those and felt like flexing my rich tastes of shiny and rare figures

All these years later, and the Swap Force are still my favorite gimmick. Imaginators take a VERY close second, but man little me's mind was BLOWN when I saw I could mix and match these guys and make the perfect power set for each character. It's probably the most customizable a Skylander has ever been, power wise at least. To this day, it's the only set of Skylanders I have every normal version and variant for (not counting chase figures, cause those were hell to come across) and I love them all to bits

@@SkylanderGamerTV I'll be honest. I LOVE Skylanders. I'm bummed it isn't being made or sold anymore. I loved going to stores like Walmart, Gamestop, Target or Toys R Us and browsing through their Skylanders Isle to see if they had any I still needed for my collection. Sometimes when I go shopping, I sometimes run to the Videogame section where the Skylanders used to be just to see if maybe they had old Skylanders in the back in stock and want them sold out. Sadly, not the case. I think even though it's sad that Skylanders is over, maybe it's for the best that it ended. Look at Imaginators. It wasn't as good with fans as the other games and it was too short and heck, it barley had Flynn, Cali, Hugo, etc. They replaced them with the Core Skylanders like Spyro and Stealth Elf. Personally, I feel like Skylanders Peaked at Trap Team. Should've ended there IMO, especially with it's ending and how we trap Kaos at the end and thus make him good. Even though there is a comic in between Trap Team and Superchargers that explains how Kaos escaped, but still.
