Lightcores Kinda Suck - Krypt Krusher

Today we look at the Lightcores and why they are my least favourite light source. I was never a fan of lamps either.

WARNING: In the event of a power outage do not use lightcore skylanders for a substitute light source

I bought a Grim Creeper not knowing he was a Lightcore and was surprised to see him light up! Probably my best memory with a Lightcore.

[AdisPlays]

I like lightcore just because they light up and it looks cool, and the best part about lightcore and also series 2, 3 is that they are an extra Skylander and it make it easier to find and collect, for example I really wanted Wham Shell for SSA but I sadly couldn’t find any because it’s so rare, but luckily I found the common lightcore wham shell and I use him so often in SSA, that’s the reason why it helps for us players who don’t want to collect every Skylander and variant

Why did they even paint Lightcore Legendary Grim Creeper's head dark blue when it was the same color as the regular Grim Creeper in game? it barely lit up because of it, i hated that.

The light cores should have been the gimmick of giants instead of the giants I feel. In the trap team conference they said “our goal is to make kids say wow!” And showed toys to life for SSA, swapping for swapforce, and lightcore for giants. Then again this is right before he tried to convince people that traps were any form of new technology but still. Maybe at least only resell old series 2s as light cores with WOW POWs and call it a day.

Imagine if the trap masters weapon would light up but only at the times when they are glowing in game, how cool would that be

[magmarxiogaming]

tbh i really wish that the trap masters' weapons would glow up when you got near a traptanium cluster, the technology was there and is even shown with the traps being able to respond to in game actions but they definitely didn't do enough with the lightcore technology

[GhostRoasterDrankAllTheMilk]

My first lightcore skylander I ever got was Drobot and I personally love the figure because of that (just like that I lost my social credit score)

[johnpaulcross]

I have to agree, in my experience they rarely fulfilled on what you had in mind for them to light up, and a lot of the times the parts that were supposed to light up didn’t even function properly

[TLN_Nello]

I liked them. The lights were kinda wack tho but I still liked the idea overall

[inthemd]

I remember when I got Lightcore Eruptor as a kid thinking he had the Wow Pow. I was a little disappointed not gonna lie.

[earthenavenger]

I don’t mind them, and actually really like lightcore Warnado, Eruptor, and Star Strike.

[juns_bf]

i think they’re obviously a cash grab BUT they do look cool if you’re into collecting them, especially in box. plus you can mess with giants by crashing it with lightcores lol

[samuellodge]

So glad you took a break and still managed to get this video so quickly

[Gokusolosfr]

the only good thing about lightcores to me is that they look cool on the portal

[paulwilliams]

Ok here's a idea i had for the light cores you know that explosion of light they have when entering the game what if there was a light meter the skylander fills up by collecting exp when the meter fills up you can do the light explosion again also fills up when hitting enemies.

[zanemiller]

I once bought a light core drobot not knowing it was light core and i didn’t realize it lit up until months after even after I played as him a bunch.

[tedcamus]

I liked when the Lightcore re-pose matched one of a Skylander's two paths, and (if you really like that particular Skylander) you could buy both and have their respective poses matching their corresponding paths. Flashwing and Shroomboom are the best examples of this -- also because their Lightcore versions aren't missing out on a Series 2 Wow Pow. And also also, not being Series 2, you can't change their paths without resetting them, so you'd need to buy two anyway.

Glad to see you back, also really appreciate the Kaos’ Kastle music in the background!

[FoxflameGoddess]

fun fact: the devs actually wanted to make the trap masters’ weapons light up but they couldnt cuz budget
