They had the best mechanic out of all of them (IMO), they're the only Skylanders to be able to be dual-element, and some of them are just really good.

Went camping for Easter have some Skylanders sketches

God. Imagine if they'd been calling each other's names too. Especially since a solid half of the Swap Force aren't too emotional as a rule or else have rather stoic personalities (the two undead guys, Grilla Drilla, etc. I'll remember their names eventually) so hearing that must have been so jarring.

Imagine Eon sending out that message back here hoping himself to death that the SWAP Force got sent to another world and didn't die out there.

Imagine the elation, even over a hundred years later, when some kid gets back to him with a single figure. Just one.

But it's enough. It's more then enough.

Jesus.

I’m always thinking about how the Skylanders novels depict Eon as having a telepathic link with each and every one of his Skylanders so that he can communicate with them at virtually any distance within Skylands and provide them with a Portal back home at any time.

I’m always thinking about how Eon has been a Portal Master for many centuries and has likely shared this telepathic link with each one of his previous Skylander teams.

I’m always thinking about the very real possibility that on the day the SWAP Force were caught in the Mount Cloudbreak eruption over 100 years ago, the last thing Eon ever heard from them were their screams and cries for help as they were split in half, frozen, and banished to Earth. Eon couldn’t bring them back home in time.

I’m always thinking about the very real possibility that, in the 100 years between the eruption and the SWAP Force’s miraculous return to Skylands, Eon had lived under the assumption that his team had all died, all at once, and he would never get to hear their voices again, all because he couldn’t activate a Portal fast enough.

Grilla Drilla: Did you hear about the gorilla who escaped Kaos’ forces?

Troll: No, I did not.

Grilla Drilla: That’s because I am a quiet gorilla.

(muffled sounds of gorilla violence)

Fling Kong: Did you hear about the monkey who escaped Kaos’ forces?

Troll: No, I did not.

Fling Kong: That’s because I’m a quiet monkey.

PART 13: thoughts over all

So..after ranking every skylander, no I will not do enemies or trapped bosses, I can kinda get a method with them

Magic are based on religions and the arcane

Undead are often dead or malicious

Life are based on flora and fauna

Fire are based on fire, magma, and explosives

Water are based on ice and marine life

Earth are based on rocks and Crystal's with a few rough boys

Air is based on flight, avians or weather

Tech is based on machinery, metal and demolition and man made things

Light is based on holy and benevolent forces

Dark is based conversely on lovecraftian and malicious things

I originally intended on looking at all scrapped skylanders too but I realized there were too many so I only covered the one that was most well known scrapped skylanders

I also noticed some of the sensei's in imaginators were really independent of their element

And another thing was that some skylanders were dropped. In the original generation they had 4 skylanders and then replaced one for giants then again for swap force but the ones they keeped were given ultimate versions that sometimes looked wholly different and then in superchargers some where brought back again ang given new armor.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this look into skylanders history thank you and have a nice day

Do you have any headcanons about Sonic Boom or Boom Bloom?

[paper shuffling noises] I love this unprompted trend of basically just asking me to infodump the specific narratives I’ve created in my head (/gen) but anyways yes a few!

Sonic Boom:

♬ it took her a long time to accept the fact that her kids won’t grow up but she’s gotten used to it

♬ despite their size, her kids are a little more mentally developed than their physical age suggests

♬ her kids names are Screech, Sleek (the ladies), Bellow, and Buff (the guys)

♬ she’s still searching for a way to undo the curse and hopes that one day her kids will be able to grow

♬ in general, she has a very maternal personality and is always one of the first to welcome in new students at the academy

♬ she was actually the mother that jet-vac granted his wings too as hers were injured when escaping a wizard of darkness

♬ she’s very close with jet-vac, whirlwind, camo, sunburn, and bad juju

Boom Bloom:

✿ she at first struggled with how she saw herself considering the unconventional way she came about but after arriving at the academy and seeing the range of differences, she didn’t feel like she stuck out as much anymore

✿ she was actually one of the first alongside mags to encourage krankcase to join the skylanders, and after helping him make up for his uh... environmental crimes and growing closer to him, she’s come to consider him her father

✿ a family can be a feral scientist, his mutant plant daughter, and several spider-legged robots <3

✿ bloom is one of the more exuberant and excitable senseis and can sometimes be impulsive, running into action without really fully planning things out

✿ despite this, she’s very good making plans in action, making her invaluable in surprise situations

✿ she’s closest to mags, tessa, krankcase, tuff luck, whirlwind, tree rex, and grilla drilla

[sampos-catgirl]

on a slightly related note i LOVE how grilla drilla calls boom bloom "flower child"

[yourlocaltoad]

Grilla Drilla's equipment from Skylanders: Ring of Heroes (Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, 2018)

[redrockbluerock]

Boom Bloom is probably the newest non-villain Skylander since she definitely was mutated during the time between Swap Force and Trap team

Evidence:

-Tree Rex and Grilla Drilla were there when she was made, meaning it had to be after Swap Force

-Since Krankase was free, it was before Trap Team or ROH

-Due to her being established as a sensei in ROH it has to be before Trap Team
