Everything Wrong With Skylanders Trap Team

There is a lot wrong with this game. Sill love it tho.

[@Trig.]

You missed the fact that Hugo is in the first and last cutscene but literally nowhere else in the entire game.

[@madsceptictrooper6803]

I don't get why Hugo was only in the cutscenes. I also don't get why Flynn wasn't an active character and Cali only appeared in the last cutscene of the 3DS version. It would have made sense if the console version and the 3DS version happened at same time with Flynn and Cali only appearing in the console version and Hugo being only in the 3DS version.

Actually the reason why Chompy Mage wasn't seen once in the beginning cutscene is answered in the strategy guide. According to Chompy Mage's bio, he first meets the Doom Raiders in Cloudcracker Prison, and convinces them to let him join by claiming to them he can see though the eyes of every Chompy in Skylands, which is perfect for spying.

[@Rock-ul5se]

Remove 1 sin. The reason chaos could see us (breaking the 4th wall) was because the powers he just received because he mentioned how he could see everything so he wouldn’t be able to see the ‘portal master’ anytime before this moment

[@meat7490]

He’s basically reached cosmic awareness of the portal master and their influences on his world, and then ever since him discovering this he’s been personally attacking directly at the portal master especially at the beginning of superchargers Very cool

[@HutchyJ]

And the one about it never stating why the Wilikin Factory was opened. It's outright stated that it's a ploy to lure in Kaos

Either she’s insanely old and invented practically everything in the Skylands, or she’s lying. (Second one highly more likely.)

[@Fusionbluntmam]

The reason chompy mage isn't in the opening is because he's already out in gaints, and probably got recruited after the doom raiders got let out, or he just hadn't been with them when they got trapped in prison, or maybe skylanders giants came before the doom raiders where a thing (most likely wrong for that one)

[@cryptorborgjulien902]

Actually, the answer is given in the strategy guide for Trap Team. He met them in Cloudcracker Prison, and convinced them to let him join thanks to the ability to see through the eyes of chompies.

[@harvey_moore64]

I think there is a reason to both why we never heard of the doom raiders, as well as where chompy mage is. My theory is that the doom raiders were put into cloud cracker prison before the events of any of the games, and for chompy mage, he wasn't in the doom raiders yet, he was doing his own thing all the way back in giants. And when he was defeated in giants, he was put in cloud cracker aswell, then joining the doom raiders. Of course, this probably isn't right but I just wanted to share my take on what happened.

[@cryptorborgjulien902]

You're right about the last part. He did join them in Cloudcracker. The strategy guide confirms this in his bio.

I have always interpreted the time when Doom Raiders terrorized Skylands happening during the events of Swap Force. Considering the fact, the backstories of most Trap Team do state they became skylanders after the events of Spyro's Adventure, my interpretation does make sense.

Aaah yes the Ultimate Weapon, Sky Eater Prototype before Kaos decided to switch from Traptanium powered to Darkness powered!

Kaos: “Look, I don’t like this anymore than you do. But those stupid Doom Raiders are a problem for both of us. Trust me.” Buzz: “Not so fast short stuff. Trust is something you gotta earn.” I really don’t think Buzz should be calling Kaos “short stuff”. They are virtually the same size.

[@22taylorsversion9]

The worst things about it were how expensive everything was and how they removed p vs p

[@HungryWarden]

My theory about Flynn’s ship not landing next to the objective is that it requires fuel and only has enough to land there and just make it back to the academy. He may be the best pilot in all of Skylands because he is able to consistently deal with this handicap. It would also explain why the ship explodes in Time Town, it has fuel.

[@susanclay4225]

He lands way away from the actual objective because if he didn’t the game would be over in like 5 minutes

[@HungryWarden]

Number 35: To be fair, she didn’t panic when being captured by the bandits on the Bandit Train level in Superchargers. I think it’s just part of her personality.

[@HungryWarden]

Number 64: like I said, there’s no proof that these ships don’t run out of fuel as none of them are ever able to be flown indefinitely.

There is nothing wrong with Trap Team barring the removal of ppayer vs player. I will curse that forever.

1:56 Chompy Mage was the newest member of the doom raiders. He wasn’t part of the original doom raiders, but he’s still part of the group. It’s complex. Also if he was there then how would he have appeared in Giants?

[@TotherKoala]

1 extra sin: what happened to the dreadyacht? Why would they not make use of a superpowered laser-armed ship that we literally rebuilt in the previous game I know they use it in SkyHighlands but that suggests they either sold it or it was destroyed

[@FoxTube_Editz]

One thing you forgot is that in the final level, Kaos has this thing which can literally give him the control of the Portal Master's controller, and he uses it to make the controller vibrate...

[@smiley5100]

1:56 Chompy Mage was a boss in Skylanders Giants so that’s probably why

[@Obi-wankenobi35Clonewars]

The second why we had never heard of the doomraiders, was because they where dangerous, but, i think, they came later. And there are a couple more that are way stronger and dangerous than them and that is for example the arkeyans and kaos.

[@CartoonLowStudios]

Despite having many plot-holes due to TFB's incapacity to write consistent stories at the time (Crash 4 proved that they learned from their mistakes so big kudos to them), Trap Team remains my favourite game in the series. The ability to trap villains and hear them shout and scream in the portal is just genius and felt like a true evolution of the toys to life genre.

[@ANormalTVSeries]

1:01 it's because the other trapmasters are attacking other villains that might be terrorizing skylands and it would resemble some sort of realism because the doomraiders are not that powerful and they don't have an army so the trapmasters can send out a few trapmasters to take care of the villains while the rest can plan other things

[@aspiringdiamond]

The one for 70th sin is just wrong. It changes a lot throughout the game. (Love your channel, not tryna insult you)

[@viddog6457]

Another sin he should not have given was the rocket one. In the cutscene it shows all of the ships coming out of the rocket.

Shouldn't Kaos be super powerful if how stinky things are is directly proportional to power? He's always described as smelling more horrible than anything else in external media. By the game's own logic he could take a whiff of his own socks after leaving them for a week. And what's with the light and dark elements? Are they new or ancient because they aren't needed to rebuild the core of light so I have no clue myself and there's evidence for both.

I think the chompy mage had not been captured, explaining why we see him in giants because he was never captured and locked in cloudcracker prison.

Critiques about the video -How do you know the skylanders are capable of destroying the giant machine without the parts raining down on skylands resulting in mass destruction and death? -He literally only was able to see us after he gained the cheese...That's why he only mentioned it then. -Why wouldn't mabu and different characters have different accents? You give no reason why they wouldn't. -Sky high lands could be the equivalent of space in skylands, This explaining why they need a rocket to get there. -Wolfgang could've not seen the ship before then. -If they landed right at Krankcases lair or the troll rocket, They could've easily and quickly have been defeated if they had a weapon or several eneimes hiding they did not know about, Making it less risky to land more far away. -Kaos has survived similar things before so him surviving an explosion makes sense. Critiques of the game -How does smelling cheese give Kaos the ability to see us, And how does this power work? -Also how did Kaos suddenly gain the knowledge that we are on earth? -Why does Golden Queen not trap the academy in a globe like she did to the clock tower? -How are some enemies like Cuckoo Clocker, And Chompy, More weak than a version that looks and acts identical to them? -Why do we murder some enemies but trap others?
