Skylanders

Skylanders is a toys-to-life video game franchise by Activision with books, comics, mobile apps and a TV show based on it.

Spyro's Adventure
After the evil Kaos destroyed the Core of Light, the Skylanders are sent to Earth, where they are discovered by local Portal Masters (the players). Now they have to send the Skylanders back to Skylands to defeat Kaos and restore the Core of Light.

Giants
10,000 years ago, the first group of Skylanders, known as the Giants, fought the evil rule of the Arkeyans, but the Iron Fist of Arkus used its last power to banish the Giants to Earth. Now, the Portal Masters have discovered the Giants and have to race to reach the Iron Fist before Kaos does.

Swap Force
Long ago, a group of 16 Skylanders protected Mount Cloudbreak, the volcano that is the source of Skylands' magic. During a battle against Kaos' mother, the group were caught in the eruption of the volcano, splitting them apart and banished them to Earth. This split gave them the ability to swap top and bottom halves, making them the Swap Force.

Now, 100 years later, the volcano's next eruption is about to happen, and Kaos is joined by his mother. The Skylanders have to stop Kaos and save the Ancient Elementals from being evilised.

Trap Team
For years, a group of Skylanders known as the Trap Masters, with weapons made out of Traptanium, captured some of the most evil villains in Skylanders, most notably a group called The Doom Raiders, into a prison called the Cloudcracker Prison.

Now, Kaos has blown up the prison, releasing the villains and banishing the Trap Masters to Earth. Kaos attempts to lead the Doom Raiders, but they have different plans. The Skylanders have to recapture all the villains by using traps made out of Traptanium, allowing the player to control the villains.

SuperChargers
Kaos has come up with a new plan, which involves destroying the skies of Skylands. In order to proceed, the Skylanders need to use vehicles, which belong to a group called the SuperChargers.

Imaginators
Kaos has discovered an ancient force known as mind magic, using it to create an army of powerful villains known as the Doomlanders. In order to stop them, Portal Masters use Creation Crystals to create their own group of Skylanders, known as the Imaginators. These Imaginators are to be trained by Skylanders called the Senseis, some of whom are reformed villains.

The Machine of Doom
Skylanders: The Machine of Doom is a canon prequel book. Word of an ancient, giant machine reaches the Skylanders and they must race to find it before Kaos does.

Fanon
Shipping is not a major part of the Skylanders fandom, which is why few ships in the fandom have large fan following. The fandom was at its biggest in around 2012-2015, but is still getting new fan material to this day.
