Comic-Con has arrived and Activision is using the pop culture phenomenon as an opportunity to reveal a new Skylanders Trap Team Trap Master character as well as a couple new villains that will be playable in the game once you use a Trap Master and appropriate Trap to catch them.
The new Trap Master is Gusto from the Air Elemental group. He’s a beefy fella with wings for ears, a horn/drill on his head, and a massive translucent Traptanium boomerang — called a Bangerang — weapon used to catch villains.
Gusto will retail for $14.99, though it’s unclear at this time what wave of figures he will be included in.
Two new Skylanders Trap Team villains have been announced, the first being Sheep Creep. As his name suggest, this dastardly sheep from the Life element is armed to the bone with rocket launchers that fire corks at his enemies.
Last but not least is the villain Gulper, a disgusting Water element villain with an endless appetite for food and soda, ironic considering one of the game’s levels is known as Soda Falls. It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out where Gulper can be cornered and trapped. I’ll further speculate that Gulper is an homage to Slimer from Ghostbusters.
At least one more Skylanders Trap Team Comic-Con reveal is on the way later today following the Skylanders Comic-Con Panel at 6pm PST so stay tuned.
