Also, little known fact, the Traptanium Portal can work with every single game due to it having all the elements of the games thanks to the backwards compatability of the figures. It has the trap slot which is thankfully still useable in the last 2 games Imaginators and Superchargers, it has the programing for the swapers (unlike the original portal) and has all of the needed compatability to work with every game. And i've tested it with all 6 games for a fact.
The Imaginators Rift Engine Portal is a weird one. The actual Rift Engine part is identical in every way to the one in SuperChargers, including the trap slot and trap loading chips. The trap slot is just hidden underneath the new panel across the top. If you wanted to, you could take the chips out of the engine and make your own custom trap loader.
@@Portalmaster9351 I always assumed it does, since the chips are identical to the original ones, but I hadn't actually tested it before, since the slot itself isn't really accessible due to the welded-on panel covering the slot. But, now that it has been questioned, my curiosity demanded that I do the proper testing. In previous testing (with the original Rfit Engine Portal), I've learned that the Engine (with the Portal motherboard removed, leaving only the trap chips inside) can be placed on top of any Portal like a standard figure and still function as a trap loader. WIth that in mind, I had an idea of how to perform the new test. Since the top half is covered, and I haven't detached the top chip from the engine piece (it's possible, but risky), I placed it upside-down on top of a separate portal, and inserted my Kaos trap in the loose bottom chip. Usually, you'd insert it into the top chip, sending its signal to the bottom one, but the chips are identical, and thus function just as well in reverse. Result of the test: It registered just fine, exactly as expected.
@@Portalmaster9351 the trap slot does work, but I've only seen it in Superchargers Racing. All it really does is boost the stats for the drivers and racers.
The Spyro’s adventure Portal is my favorite. It looks the most like a portal to me and it just leaves so much nostalgia for me. It’s when I saw the magic of toys to life.
personally, id rank the og spyros adventure portal the lowest since it ate batteries for breakfast and it was a pain to constantly replace them, once i got giants i never used the OG portal again. I saved so many batteries by doing so
Also, something easy to miss is that the traptainiom portal is future proofed where if you use it in superchargers, land vehicles make it glow brown, sea vehicles make it glow blue, and sky vehicles make it glow light blue (or land makes it glow like earth, sea makes it glow like water, and sky makes it glow like air)
I love the traptanium portal design! Its definitely the prettiest looking in my opinion. I also like the rift engine (not design-wise) because its compatable with every console and every game.
I'm going to go with the Trap Team portal followed closely by the Spyro's Adventure/Giants Portal. They are close together in terms of cool design but what gives Trap Team the edge is the Trap Slot and the speaker for Kaos to break the fourth wall XD
trap team is the best portal to me because not only is it the coolest looking but it also has the trap compartment (yes so does the super chargers one but the tt one is cooler looking 😂)
I've tested around with the portals a bit and found out that the older portals from Spyro's Adventure and Giants can actually scan Swap Force characters, despite what Activision claimed, but this only works in Superchargers or Imaginators. However, when I tried using 3DS portal with these games, they had a bit of trouble scannig the Swap Force characters. So my guess is that the claims that Activision made are partially true and the Swap Force game was simply coded to not allow the use the older portals, whereas Trap Team can't be said much since it required their portal for the traps and the speaker
yeah we all know that Trap Team has best portal, but Imaginators made me kinda sad. they didn't make a new one, just nerfed version of superchargers. They could've gone with an imaginite portal, with the imaginite crystals and stuff. But they didn't which is very dissapointing
my ranking 6 - European Imaginators 5 - SuperChargers 4 - Swap Force (the figures fall off way to easy) 3 - Spyro's Adventure 2 - Giants (i rather have a cable, then light up sides (which i only noticed do to this video)) 1 - Trap Team
Trap Team had the best portal, then Spyro's Adventure/Giants comes 2nd, then Swap Force/Imaginators is 4th, and then Superchargers had the worst portal
I have to agree with your list. Although with the Rift Engine portal lack in lights and a trap speaker, it is rather versatile for travelling. As for my portals I use my Trap Team one every time I play Skylanders on my PS3, my Trap Team is a night light to put my light and Imaginator cores on as a night light for my PC while my original Spyro's Adventure portal it sits in the bottom of my Skylanders tower.
For those who haven't played Trap Team, massive spoiler.... Let's not forget in Chapter 18 when Kaos interacts with you, the portal master, he does so through that Traptanium Portal speaker and even today, the shock of Kaos' interaction with still hits
I hate the superchargers one, and love the trap team portal bc it's just magical, and then all these different feeling hit u, like nostalgia, and a Disney Land type vibe, so that's why I love trap team portal.
The trap team and supercharger portals work on every game (where older ones don't), and have trap slots. I also have a wireless one which is nice to avoid having a cord, but it only works on old games, and eats batteries like crazy.
I love the trap team and swap force portals I have played Skylanders since I was four and I'm thirteen now but the game has stole my heart and the portals for spyros adventure swap force and trap team always made me so happy
My favorite portal would either have to be the the Giants portal or the trap team portal the Giants portal sounds like a weird pick but it's mostly for nostalgia see Giants was the first Skylanders game I ever played
So I think I know the answer, but could I use any portal after swap force on Skylanders swapforce? I got a portal off of Amazon for $100 and the person lied and said it was a 360 portal. Edit: I resolved the issue, I returned the portal and game and bought an imaginator’s portal a few days after I made this comment.
I don’t really have a favourite, but I gotta agree with you on the superchargers portal. It just doesn’t really feel magical and doesn’t fit in with the other portals, and the lack of lighting makes it even worse.
also the trap team portal can light up 2 colors at once while the others cant. its the left and right sides. also the previous portals can recognize the swap force characters. prob made it since the game got a massive overhaul
1. SSA/Giants It looks old timey, looks most like a portal and the way it changes color looks really nice. 2. Trap Team It looks beautiful, with it’s front, the traptanium area where you place the Skylanders but it doesn’t look like as much as a portal than the SSA and Giants portal. 3. Swap Force/Imaginators I don’t like how sides go into place where you place the toys, I like how SSA and Giants pop out. 4. Superchargers It’s just boring.
My favorite part about the Traptanium Portal is that it can actually be used in all 6 "Skylanders" games, at least to my knowledge because I play all the games on my Wii U.
For me, i agree for the rift engine portals, but the next up would be the swapforce portal, why? To me, while for utility use, it is great, but looks, it isn't much appealing to me as it is lacking in mahic power, next up would be the giants and battle grounds for the same reasons you put, then comes the mobile trap team portal, because it's looks are very interesting and unique, the next would be the spyros adventure one, because it is the original one and it takes on that partly medieval look, msking it the most magical and the most classical, plus the glowing runes add to this a lot, finally the traptanium portal bc it is just that awesome.
Is it true if you have the xbox 360 or ONE imaginators portal that you can use it on older Skylanders games for the same 360 or ONE console games except for Trap Team?
I just got all the Portals I need which is the SSA and Giants Portals and I have the Swap Force/Imaginators Portal and Trap Team Portal but I’m not gonna get the other Portals of Power because they’ll just collect dust
The mobile game portal came with my Super Chargers so I could play it on my IPad It was really cool and it’s a shame I spend so much money on Super Chargers since they removed the app from the AppStore making everything useless for me
@@max-patitas yes. All the legendaries, dark spyro, sidekicks and magic items too. Sounds like alot but i was able to get most figures for 99 cents to 5 bucks. Wham Shell and Whisper Elf were the only ones that costed about the same as release.
I remember when I was little I got a glow-in-the-dark cynder but I made a whole fit about it not looking like the way it does in the game so now me no have glowinthedarkcynder
I own all the portals acceptance mobile one my favorite portal is the Swap Force I'm only nine Skyliners a way of completing my collection and I'm saving mine to play with my kids when they get older
Hi. Wonder, Traptanium portal conectical with Skylanders Imaginators or not? I want buying it is portal and he having model number: 0000586. But before to buy it portal I better asking you if it gonna work on my xbox360 with Skylanders Imaginators? Best regards.
I am looking for portals to buy on eBay and want one for Skylanders Giants in Xbox 360. A seller has 2 portals, a Giant’s for ps3 and a Traptanium for wii. Are these compatible with Xbox 360? The seller has no idea. Please help?
i have the xb1 swap force portal. And can someone tell me. Will it only light up when plugged into xb1? Will it light up from just plugging the usb connector to any electronic device that has a usb port? I do not have an xbox 1 but want to see if the lights work. So far i plug it into my computer usb port and no light. Thanks!!
I like that you can use the traptanium portal for all games
It’s the ultimate portal!
TI AMO

Me who only uses the portal for that game: laughs in portal of power only game

@@XtrlDex I mean, you can cut it off if you have a tool that can cut through hard plastic, but it won't be pretty.
I have a special giants portal where the whole portal lights up, and glows in the dark. It came with the glow in the dark cynder starter pack.
lol same i have this one its giants starter pack and yeah glow in dark poratl and cynder is very cool
Same

Like I said, it has a ton of nostalgia points from me
It's so rugged that to me, it is the best portal. A portal created in what really were medieval ages seemingly should be rough, not refined.
I don’t know why they used the Swap Force Portal for Imaginators
The game was rushed
@@wowzercowzeram406 Ya buy they could of reused the trap team or superchargers portals
The game was made to be like the skylanders swap force on the wii so they will stop being in a milk farm
Im pretty sure they just gave a random one. I got a superchargers portal with mine
i think because its has more space for the senseis
“and i think that’s an insult to you know everything “ well said

How about skylander trap team Xbox one with rift engine portal?
I'm going to go with the Trap Team portal followed closely by the Spyro's Adventure/Giants Portal. They are close together in terms of cool design but what gives Trap Team the edge is the Trap Slot and the speaker for Kaos to break the fourth wall XD
Fun fact: in Europe when you get the dark edition of imaginators
You would get the swap force portal
thats cause in america, all editions of imaginators came with the swap force portal
That’s cool I didn’t know it was different for dark edition. That’s what I got!
trap team is the best portal to me because not only is it the coolest looking but it also has the trap compartment (yes so does the super chargers one but the tt one is cooler looking 😂)

congratulations on 7k!
if i remember correctly. the spyros adventure portal was bettery powered. it wasnt until giants that we got usb portals. that was a real step up.
This guys background was my dream as a child
yeah we all know that Trap Team has best portal, but Imaginators made me kinda sad.
they didn't make a new one, just nerfed version of superchargers.
They could've gone with an imaginite portal, with the imaginite crystals and stuff. But they didn't which is very dissapointing
my ranking
6 - European Imaginators
5 - SuperChargers
4 - Swap Force (the figures fall off way to easy)
3 - Spyro's Adventure
2 - Giants (i rather have a cable, then light up sides (which i only noticed do to this video))
1 - Trap Team
I totally agree that the trap team portal is the coolest! And I think it would be really cool if you ranked the Skylanders games.
My personal favourite is the swap force / imaginators portal, because it is kinda classic, but it also has a nice modern twist too.
O portal do Swap Force é o mesmo do Imaginator ?
Ive always liked the portal from trapteam portal from the ds version. Its rly cool for displaying figures
My Fav portal is the superchargers Portal because its not so in your face like the others , It blends in well to the surroundings its put in.
Trap Team had the best portal, then Spyro's Adventure/Giants comes 2nd, then Swap Force/Imaginators is 4th, and then Superchargers had the worst portal

That would be really cool
I completely agree with no.1
RAREST PORTAL??? LETS GO BABYYYYYY!!!!
Me: sees the mobile trap team portal
Bro I’m getting nostalgia hitting harder than 2 trucks
I remember having my kindle
Good times
there was also that clear giants portal skylander boy and girl had, not sure where that came from, maybe the gnarly tree rex wii bundle
For those who haven't played Trap Team, massive spoiler....
Let's not forget in Chapter 18 when Kaos interacts with you, the portal master, he does so through that Traptanium Portal speaker and even today, the shock of Kaos' interaction with still hits

There was actually a translucent Giants portal released only at Walmart (I think) which came with glow in the dark series 2 cynder
I hope when they remaster the original Skylander game you can use all your Skylanders from the previous game and give us the ability to jump
That would be cool!
You should do more ranking videos, such as ranking all the swappers, trap masters, swap force cores, giants, etc.
And you should also review your old ranking videos
Yeah!
I want to do more of them, so that’s the plan!
I am absolutely agree with you
My favorite portal would either have to be the the Giants portal or the trap team portal the Giants portal sounds like a weird pick but it's mostly for nostalgia see Giants was the first Skylanders game I ever played
You should totally rank all the games!
That’s planned 😉
I prefer a lot more the spyro’s adventures portal because in comes with a usb so you didn’t have to have a long cable from your console to the table
So I think I know the answer, but could I use any portal after swap force on Skylanders swapforce? I got a portal off of Amazon for $100 and the person lied and said it was a 360 portal.

Traptanium portal is my favorite!
The Spyro's adventure one is just the best. It's iconic. Although design wise i quite like trap team.

My favorite part about the Traptanium Portal is that it can actually be used in all 6 "Skylanders" games, at least to my knowledge because I play all the games on my Wii U.

I had the superchargers portal for my wii. The wiis version of superchargers is a racing game 😂
What about the skyLanders giant 3ds portal? That's my personal favorite.
Imo i do think that the traptanium portal is the best because it works in any game but you have to take the traps out for the first three games

my ranking for portals. Trap Team Best in Function, Spyro’s Adventure Best in Design
I did the same video like 4 years ago ...yup trap team portal the best one
i completly agree
Can you hook up any of the portals to external power source to keep lights functional

I like trap Team the portal Unique and not like that other games, and have more detail then super chargers
btw the original portals do recognize swap force figures.
If have to agree that the Trap Team Portal is best .
I do however like the size of the Superchargers portal if you have vehicles
The size of the Superchargers portal is really the only benifit
Technically, the superchargers and imaginators portal are the same just one has a cover on the trap slot.
