Ccrogers, you should've heard abut the story Skylander novels that take place before SSA, that featured Spyro as the main character. They showed his personality just like the Classic Spyro you know and adore.

The only hope is that Activision makes a separate full Spyro game, though I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Skylanders novels? I have not heard about this.

Aura24 · Mar 01, 2013 5:24 AM

Yeah, there are story novels that take place before the first Skylanders game, the first being Skylanders: The Machine of Doom that features Spyro as one of the main characters of course.

The sequel, Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters, has Spyro as the title character again, and this time, he's the main character of the book and actually has a role. There are more novels being made under Skylanders' mini series 'Mask of Power', but they feature different Skylanders.

I hope the Undead Mask of Power book has Cynder as the title character.

Actually, Activision did say that they are looking into the possibility of a Skylanders show.

In the novel, The Machine of Doom, it showed that Spyro still had to get used to working in a team and was convinced that he could do everything by himself.

It was to be expected, ccrogers, Skylanders is a popular kids franchise now. If it happens, well, it just happens. At least Spyro would finally have some tv show time, but not in the way most of us frantically want.

Skylanders TV Show interesting. Also I know it sucks man but Skylanders is making Activision huge money they'll keep milking the franchise because they can get so much money out of it.

Nearly four years ago when that was posted, after the release of DotD.

Spyro was lucky to be picked, or he would've faded into obscurity, or picked up by a game company who had no experience with making Spyro games.

i'm going to be completely honest, i would have preferred that. that's a pretty selfish thing to think, but then again, so is leaving behind games that don't have the potential to be exploited for a hundred million dollars until they're run into the ground. at least there would have been some honor left to this series.

I agree and this is coming from a Skylanders fan. The only reason I first could interested in the series was because Soyro was in it. Now I love the entire cast of characters. I don't complain if a video game company beats a dead horse cause I love the series. The Mario and The Legend of Zelda series are good examples.

But there comes a time when a series needs to end not just for video games, shows and movies too.

Why does it matter that it exists? If you don't like it, you don't think it's Spyro, and you'd rather Spyro have just died, couldn't you just ignore the fact that this game exists and be happy with that?

Mr. John · Mar 03, 2013 1:45 AM

KingLambda and Stormy are both right. As for the Skylanders series I say this as not a fan though I am one.

The series makes Activision money. If it keeps doing so which it does they will continue to make more toys and games based of the franchise. Best thing to do like Stormy said if you don't like the series ignore it.

That being said I am looking forward to Skylanders Swap Force and a potential Skylanders TV series off topic I know but to get back on topic if you don't like the series once again don't pay any mind to it.

One of the biggest things that really blew me off on Skylanders was the god ugly design for spyro.
Spyro does NOT look like he ever did. Its hard to recognize him. Its just a purple dragon thing with a fat jack o lantern head. hmm
Thats not how he should of been designed at all.

The other is the absence of Sparx. Sure, hes there, but you must PURCHASE the sparx figure to use him.
