History Awesome / Skylanders

* Grave Clobber's Sensei Shrine cutscene starts out as normal, with the shrine entering a battle stance... only Grave Clobber doesn't notice because he's more interested in a little beetle he's observing. The shrine ignores it, however, and tries to strike him down with a mighty punch, to no avail, scaring away his would-be friend, and what does Grave Clobber do? He ''grabs the shrine's fist and uses it to '''[[MeaningfulName CLOBBER]] THE SHRINE!''''' And the shrine is [[OhCrap noticeably terrified when it realizes what's coming for it]].
* Wolfgang's Shrine cutscene is also this. The wolf musician was able to activate the Bowslinger Shrine the only way he knows how: ThePowerOfRock! And he plays an epic rock song as he takes out the shrine like it was ''nothing''. Rock on, Wolfgang!
* Boom Bloom's Shrine cutscene has her dodge both ninja stars the shrine throws at her, then proceeds to ''grab the second one'' and toss it back at the shine, opening it for her.
* Golden Queen's Shrine cutscene has her dodge the blast, then grow to her giant form from her boss fight to break the shrine open. And much like Grave Clobber, the shrine appears to cower when it sees her giant form, knowing what is in store.

* Wolfgang's Shrine cutscene is also this. The wolf musician was able to activate the Bowslinger Shrine the only way he knows how: ThePowerOfRock! And he plays an epic rock song as he takes out the shrine like it was ''nothing''. Rock on, Wolfgang!

* ''Imaginators'' brought back [[Franchise/CrashBandicoot Crash Bandicoot]]!

** Generally speaking, even people who strongly despise the Skylanders series overall appreciated the earnest and clearly-knowledgeable love letter that was Crash's inclusion in the game.[[note]]Though not so much in the animated series.[[/note]] And on the note of Vicarious Visions themselves, it served as excellent practice for the future VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy!

* [[spoiler:"Nobody tells Kaos what to do except Kaos! And that's me, and I'm him, and YOU are HISTORY!"]]

* Fantasm Forest in Swap Force features tree-people firefighters. Considering what fire does to wood, these guys are probably the bravest non-player characters in any of the games.

* The opening cutscene of the Skyhighlands level in Trap Team: the stolen troll rocket splits open, revealing four smaller vessels inside - The Arkeyan Copter from ''Giants'', Mags' giant mech, Buzz's ship, and the Dread-Yacht, with Tessa and Whiskers flying alongside them - reminiscent of the "Great Invasion" cutscene from the Subspace Emissary mode in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

-->"What is this, some kind of vortex? Well then, Vortex ho!"

* A villainous example; Kaos actually manages to destroy the Core Of Light and defeat ''all'' the Skylanders on his first attack. He might be an ''InvaderZim'' {{Expy}}, but he's a ''lot'' more competent.

* The semi-transparent figure of Enigma. It's meant to be partially invisible, an effect which works really nicely.

* While most villains in Trap Team are afraid of the swirling vortex that appears when you add a trap, Brawlrus fearlessly leaps right into it.

** The entire trap mechanic is pretty awesome, allowing you to play as the villains for a change.

* Ok, they lost in the end, but the Skylanders kicking butt and taking names against Kaos' army was just ''epic!'' Even more so because there was actually teamwork involved.

* There's a trap in Trap Team that allows you to capture ''Kaos''!

** At one point, we see an ''entire galleon attached to a chain, which can be pulled closer in the same way as the miniature islands''.

* The fight between the Giants and the Arkeyan King. After going on a FoeTossingCharge for his army of giant MechaMooks, they end it with Crusher taking out his knee, followed by Eyebrawl blasting him in the face with his EyeBeams, then Ninjini tricking him into lodging the Fist of Arkus into the wall and then cuts into his arm with her swords. Swarm then [[FastBallSpecial launches Tree Rex at the King]], who punches the king in the head hard enough to rip his weakened arm (and the Fist of Arkus) off and destroy him.
