more than 250 unique characters by swapping the
top and bottom halves of the toys. Now,

centered on these play mechanics.

In Skylanders SWAP Force,
Portal Masters embark on an all new adventure in the mysterious Cloudbreak
Islands, home to a mystical volcano that erupts every hundred years to
replenish the magic in Skylands. During an epic battle, a brave group of
Skylanders were caught in the volcano’s eruption, which blasted them apart and
sent them to earth. But, the magic of the volcano gave these heroes a
remarkable new power -- the ability to swap halves – turning them into a
special team known as the SWAP Force. Meanwhile, Kaos is back with a new
evil plan. And now, Portal Masters everywhere must reassemble the
SWAP Force -- in their original form or in new combinations -- and send them
back to Cloudbreak to save Skylands!

CHARACTER BIOS
SWAP FORCE CHARACTERS
BLAST ZONE
Fire/Rocket
“Blast and Furious!”
As a young
furnace knight, Blast Zone was part of the Skylands Bomb Squad, specializing in
the safe disarming and removal of troll bombs.
But it was not long before the trolls got tired of Blast Zone constantly
thwarting their evil plans, so they decided to go after the furnace knight
himself. Late one night, an army of
trolls snuck into Blast Zone’s village and threw 100 bombs down his
chimney. Acting quickly, Blast Zone
swallowed each bomb and then belched a jet of fire back at the invaders –
sending them fleeing with their boots on fire.
The tale of the attack eventually reached the ear of Master Eon, who
knew the brave furnace knight had all the makings of a Skylander.
BOOM JET
Air/Rocket
“Bombs Away!”
No matter
what Boom Jet did, he always had to be the best. He could be seen day and
night above his home in the Billowy Cloudplains gunning his engines and
performing daredevil maneuvers as he trained to become the best sky surfer in
all of Skylands. Unfortunately, Boom Jet never had a chance to compete
for the championship because a day came that changed his life forever.
The Darkness had come. And with his town on the verge of being completely
consumed by the ominous evil force, Boom Jet took action. Using his
incredible flying skills, he raced from house to house, rescuing all of the
citizens and carrying them to safety… just before The Darkness destroyed his
homeland. It was then he realized the protection of Skylands was more
important than personal glory, so he sought out Master Eon to offer his
services to the Skylanders.
FREE RANGER
Air/Spin
“Whip Up a Storm!”
Free
Ranger was hatched during a storm when a thunderous bolt of lightning struck
his egg. From that very moment, his destiny was clear – he would become
the greatest storm chaser ever known! He spent his entire life pursuing
hurricanes, spinning inside tornados, and riding lightning. But a day
came when he encountered a storm unlike any other. It was unnatural and
ominous, billowing with evil, and leaving only desolation in its wake.
Free Ranger was standing at its edge, moments from boldly leaping into it, when
he was stopped by none other than Master Eon. The wise Portal Master told him
that it was The Darkness that raged before them, and if he were up to the
challenge, he could join the Skylanders to help defend against it in the
Cloudbreak Islands.
GRILLA DRILLA
Life/Dig
“If There's a Drill, There's a Way!”
In the distant jungles of what was
once the sprawling subterranean city of the Drilla Empire, Grilla Drilla served
among the guards for the Drilla King.
Every seven years, the king would select the bravest and strongest guard
to become their leader. It was during
the last selection ceremony that a troll mining operation broke through the
ground above them and quickly snatched the king, wanting to know the location
of the famed Drilla Diamond. Having
never ventured above ground, Grilla Drilla risked everything to defeat the
trolls and rescue the Drilla King. In
return for his bravery, Grilla was selected as the new leader. But he instead decided to join the
Skylanders, where he could protect even more residents of Skylands.
HOOT LOOP
Magic /Teleport
“Let's Ruffle Some Feathers!”
Hoot
Loop was raised by a guild of magicians in Skylands’ most famous traveling
circus. At a young age, he perfected illusions and spells that only the
very best of their guild could perform, and even mastered the art of
teleportation! Soon enough, he became the star of the show, known far and
wide as the Amazing Hoot Loop. However, one day an army of Greebles
disguised as clowns invaded, determined to destroy the popular circus. It
was then that Hoot Loop gave a performance that few would ever forget.
Using his incredible powers, he fought off the invaders and saved the circus -
to the raucous applause of the many spectators – including Master Eon, who
presented Hoot Loop with an opportunity to learn some real magic as a member of
the Skylanders.
MAGNA CHARGE
Tech/Speed
“Attract
To Attack!”
Magna Charge came from the great race of Ultron robots, but was
mysteriously created with a giant magnet head.
This proved problematic, as his peers were all made of metal and were
constantly being pulled towards him. As a result, Magna Charge was exiled
to a faraway island, where he eventually learned to control his magnetic
powers. After years of training, he
returned to his home to demonstrate his abilities, but found everything
completely destroyed. In searching for answers, Magna Charge caught the
attention of Master Eon, who realized the unique Ultron soldier was a perfect
candidate for the Skylanders.
NIGHT SHIFT
Undead/Teleport
“Roll
With the Punches!”
From high up in the gloomy Batcrypt Mountains, Night Shift was a
full-fledged baron and heir to a great fortune. But one day he decided to
leave it all behind to pursue his dream as a prizefighter. It wasn’t long before Night Shift became the
undefeated phantom-weight champion of Skylands, famous for his massive uppercut
and for having once bitten an opponent in the ring. Unfortunately, a rule
change made teleportation illegal and Night Shift was forced to give up his
belt, officially ending his career as a boxer.
Crestfallen over being disqualified from a sport he loved so dearly, his
spirits picked up when he was sought out by Master Eon, who told him that his
skill as a fighter could be put to great use as a member of the Skylanders.
RATTLE
SHAKE
Undead/Bounce
“Go Ahead
- Snake My Day!”
Some say Rattle Shake was the best tracker in
the Cloudbreak Islands. Others say he
could strike the center of a gold coin at a thousand paces. But the legend of Rattle Shake was
immortalized when he found himself trapped by the Black Hat Gang, the infamous
group of cowboys who literally were large cows… and evil ones at that. They threatened to plunder the local village
unless Rattle Shake led them inside the magical volcano Mt. Cloudbreak, where
they hoped to discover enchanted treasure.
Badly outnumbered, the ever calm Rattle Shake magically summoned every
snake in the area and overtook the notorious bovines in an epic fight. The tale of his heroism was heard by Master
Eon, who then recruited him to the Skylanders.
STINK BOMB
Life/Stealth
“Clear
the Air!”
Stink Bomb studied martial arts under one of the greatest ninja
masters in history, who believed that surprise was the key to finding your true
self. Thus, his master would constantly jump out and frighten him, hoping
that it would scare Stink Bomb into finding his innermost strength. On one such occasion, Stink Bomb was so
surprised that he instinctively released a cloud of vapor so pungent that it
caused his master to disappear and never return. With this newly discovered ability, Stink
Bomb developed his own form of martial arts known as Kung Fume, and wandered
the land teaching it to all those who wished to learn. It was not long
before the news (and smell) of this new form reached Master Eon, who sought out
the young ninja at once.
WASH BUCKLER
Water/Climb
“Eight
Legs and No Pegs!”
Wash Buckler was an orphan Mermasquid, who grew up on one of the
roughest pirate ships in Skylands. While
most pirates were interested in pillaging and plundering, Wash Buckler had
other ideas for the future of pirating.
Over the years, he earned the respect of his crew and eventually
convinced his fellow pirates that they didn’t all need to be cantankerous bad
guys. Thus, they set forward doing heroic deeds. Of course, this
new good guy image did not sit well with other pirating crews, who attempted to
sabotage Wash Buckler at every turn. But he was no ordinary pirate, and
he defended his ship and his crew against the many attacking hordes. It
was then that Master Eon took notice of Wash Buckler and asked him to join the
Skylanders.
CORE
CHARACTERS
COUNTDOWN
Tech
“I'm the Bomb!”
Countdown
was discovered by a group of Yetis who were snowboarding
one particularly chilly morning when they came across a big bomb encased in
ice. After bringing it back to their cabin, they were shocked when it
actually came to life. No one, not even
Countdown himself, has any memory of where he came from or how he ended up
frozen in the mountains. Since becoming a Skylander, Master Eon has been
graciously trying to help piece together fragments of his past. But this has proven difficult, as Countdown loses
some of his memory every time he explodes – which happens a lot. In the meantime, Countdown has enjoyed
working with Eon and fighting alongside the Skylanders to defend their world against
evil – even though he occasionally forgets what he is doing.
ROLLER BRAWL
Undead
“Let's
Roll!”
Roller Brawl grew up with five older vampire brothers, who were all
very big and overprotective. Being the smallest of her family, she
learned how to use her speed and cunning to become one of the toughest jammers
in the Undead Roller Derby League. It was during the championship match
when she caught the eye of Kaos, who fell head-over-heels in love with
her. But when her overprotective brothers stepped in, Kaos had them
captured by Drow and taken prisoner.
Roller Brawl swore revenge, but even with her impressive skills, she was
no match for an entire Drow army. Having developed a strong distaste for
evil, she joined up with the Skylanders to fight against Kaos – while never
giving up on her search for her brothers.
SLOBBER
TOOTH
Earth
“Clobber
and Slobber!”
Having been asleep for thousands of years,
Slobber Tooth was awakened by the fiery eruption of two volcanic islands
crashing together. Immediately sought
out by Kaos to become one of his minions, Slobber Tooth was promised great
power. But the gruff and headstrong
fighter chose to follow his own path instead.
For this, Kaos attacked his ancient petrified homeland. As the only one who could protect his hibernating
race, Slobber Tooth fought tooth and tail against Kaos and his minions, ultimately
driving them away. For his heroism,
Master Eon asked Slobber Tooth to join the Skylanders, where he could continue
defending Skylands against the evil Kaos.
STAR
STRIKE
Magic
“Shoot For
the Stars!”
Looking for a way to magically banish the
Skylanders, Kaos poured through every dusty scroll and ancient tome he could
find. Upon stumbling across a rare and
extremely powerful spell, he began to recite its words. However, he sneezed midway through the incantation. As a result, instead of sending the
Skylanders far away, Star Strike was plucked from her home in the distant
cosmos and brought into Skylands.
Surprised, Kaos thought he’d won a powerful new ally in the mysterious
and reserved Star Strike. But she knew
evil when she saw it and promptly unleashed her fierce magical powers on
him. Word of her victory over Kaos
spread quickly and she was soon asked by Master Eon to join the Skylanders.
ZOO
LOU
Life
“Nature
Calls!”
Descended from a long line of shamans, Zoo Lou
traveled far and wide to the Seven Strange Strongholds – ancient, mysterious
sites of great wonder in Skylands – where he studied the wisdom and fighting
styles of the Seven Strange Mages. After
many years of traveling and studying, Zoo Lou returned to find an army of
trolls had invaded his sacred homeland to mine its natural magic
resources. Zoo Lou’s warrior heart
burned with fury. And having now
mastered the enchanted art of communicating with nature and summoning animals,
he unleashed his great mojo – attacking the trolls and single handedly freeing
his lands once again. It was this heroic
feat that caught the eye of Double Trouble, who then brought Zoo Lou to Master
Eon and the Skylanders.
