Krypt King and Nitro Krypt King – Skylander Review

Krypt King is a new Undead Trap Master making his debut in Trap Team . Krypt King also has an alternate variant called Nitro Krypt King which is exclusive to Target. Krypt King used to wander Skylands as a spirit of a knight. One day he found an ancient Arkeyan weapon vault. Within the vault he found an extremely powerful suit of armor. When he put on the armor, it triggered the vault’s defense system. Alarms blared and a massive sealed chamber opened revealing a huge army of war machines. Krypt King leapt into action. Using a giant sword that he had also found in the vault, he swung and chopped until the army was completely destroyed. Krypt King realized that he was in control of a great power and wanted to put it to better use. So he sought out the Skylanders and was made a member of the Trap Team. Now he uses his Traptanium Broadsword to cut down evil.

Lob-Star and Winterfest Lob-Star – Skylander Review

Lob-Star is a new Water Trap Master making his debut in Trap Team . Lob-Star also has a special Christmas variant called Winterfest Lob-Star. Lob-Star comes from an undersea kingdom called Star City. He was the owner and head chef of a five-star restaurant. His food was so good, he even cooked for the King Fish. In his spare time, however, he secretly trained in a mysterious art of fighting that few of his kind had ever seen. He kept this secret for a long time, but one day a giant Leviathan threatened to swallow up all of Lob-Star’s guests including the King Fish. Lob-Star had no choice but to reveal his secret abilities and he used his mysterious training to defeat the Leviathan and drive him out of Star City. Master Eon took note and recruited Lob-Star to join the Skylanders. Now with his powerful Traptanium Throwing Stars, Lob-Star protects the Skylands as a Trap Master.

How to Use Tread Head’s Rocket Boost Attack

March 11, 2015 by Michael McNutt

While we were doing the Tread Head review, we had some troubles performing Tread Head‘s Rocket Boost Attack. This is the attack that you get after finding the Soul Gem. Well it seems like we are not the only one to have trouble pulling off this move. Check out this video where I try to explain what to look for when performing this move, and give examples of how to pull it off.

If you have problems pulling off a move, or need help with the game, leave us a comment and maybe I’ll do more of these Tips & Tricks videos in the future.

Ka-Boom – Skylander Review

March 7, 2016March 6, 2015 by Michael McNutt

Ka-Boom – Skylander Review

Ka-Boom is a new Fire Trap Master making his debut in Trap Team . Ka-Boom comes from an ancient volcanic island called Munitions Forge. He and his people were very tech savvy and used to build machinery that was used throughout the Skylands. One day, the ruthless Captain Ironbeard tried to capture Munitions Forge so he could build an unstoppable fleet of pirate warships. With Captain Ironbeard’s invasion approaching, Ka-Boom created the greatest anti-pirate weapon ever created – The Boom Cannon! (I would also guess this would be Flynn’s favorite weapon as well!) When Ironbeard and his men arrived, Ka-Boom was already at the edge of the docks with his Boom Cannon ready. It was smoldering hot having just came out of the fire. One by one, Ka-Boom sank all of the invading ships until Captain Ironbeard was forced to retreat. Now Ka-Boom is a valued member of the Trap Team and uses the Boom Cannon to blast evil!

Torch – Skylander Review

March 7, 2016February 27, 2015 by Michael McNutt

Torch – Skylander Review

Torch is a new Fire core Skylander making her debut in Trap Team . As a child, Torch worked with her grandfather as a dragon keeper. They tended to a stable of dragons which protected their village. One year they were attacked by an evil Snow Dragon. The dragon unleashed a blizzard that froze her entire village in an ice glacier! Torch was the only one to escape. She immediately went to rescue her village and her dragons armed with her Firespout Flamethrower. She fought long and hard and eventually defeated the Snow Dragon in an epic battle. Once the village was free she returned home looking for her grandfather. But he wasn’t there, he was missing. All that Torch found was her grandfather’s lucky flaming horseshoe. Now that Torch is a Skylander, she uses her powerful Firespout Flamethrower and her grandfather’s lucky horseshoe to battle evil and hopefully one day will find the grandfather she lost.

Skylanders Trap Team (Cutscene Theater)

April 1, 2015February 25, 2015 by Michael McNutt

Here it is. It took a little longer for me to get to than I thought it would, with all of the reviews we are trying to do. But here is the Skylanders Trap Team (Cutscene Theater) video. It’s basically all of the cutscenes around the main story pieced together to make one slightly long movie. Don’t be too put off by the length, there is about 20 minutes or more of credits at the end. Enjoy!

Tread Head – Skylander Review

March 7, 2016February 20, 2015 by Michael McNutt

Tread Head – Skylander Review

Tread Head is a new Tech core Skylander making his debut in Trap Team . Tread Head was an orphan from the Dizzying Dunes who always dreamed of racing. One summer he found enough old parts to build his own bike. He built his bike his way with a focus on performance. Once his bike was finished he entered it into a local race, but the other competitors all laughed at his bike’s design. Since he had built his bike for performance, and not looks, he easily raced to a commanding lead. While in the lead, he entered a canyon and found a roadblock of Goblin troops! In order to protect the other racers, Tread Head pulled off the road and kicked up a bunch of dust that forced the Goblins to retreat. This allowed the other racers to pass safely. Unfortunately for Tread Head, it also meant that he would loose the race. However, Master Eon took note and offered Tread Head the chance to become a Skylander and to race over evil.

Trap Team – Kaos Doom Challenge (Waves 41-50)

February 18, 2015 by Michael McNutt

Today Conner and I play the Kaos Doom Challenge (Waves 41-50). It’s starting to get a little more challenging now. This level was in the Itchy Lilies Marsh and featured 5 turrets to set up and protect. One of which was another Giants turret, so if Trap Team is your first game, you might not be able to use all five turrets. I try to level up Chopper a little bit while Conner goes to give Nitro Krypt King a boost. Check it out and see how waves 41-50 play.
