Skylanders: Trap Team

Skylanders Trap Team is the second latest entry to the Skylanders series, it is the followup to 2013's Skylanders Swap Force.

Platform	Developer	Release Date
		Oct 10th 2014	Oct 5th 2014	Oct 2nd 2014

Story

The story and background for the new types of toys is as detailed below:

In Skylanders Trap Team, Kaos continues his ongoing quest to rule over Skylands. He has discovered the location of the legendary Cloudcracker Prison -- a fortress built entirely out of the magical substance Traptanium and home to Skylands' most nefarious baddies. In an attempt to build his own army of foes, Kaos blows up the prison, releasing the most wanted villains and blasting shards of Traptanium to Earth in the form of Traps. Now it's up to Portal Masters to recapture all of the escaped villains using powerful Traptanium Traps and defeat Kaos before it's too late!

Characters

All pre-existing figures work with Trap Team but of course there is a whole slew of new toys to collect. First to note are the 18 new Trap Masters, Trap Masters are a larger Skylander toy that wields a translucent "Traptanium" weapon and has an advantage when fighting the capturable villains. There are also 18 new core Skylanders who will join the fight, new mini versions of old characters as well as several reposed fan-favourites from previous adventures.

Here are pictures of all of the so far revealed brand new Skylanders:

To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders Trap Team is coloured red instead of the green/orange/blue currently seen on the Spyro's Adventure, Giants and SWAP Force toys.

Traps

Another new toy added with Trap Team is the Trap. These translucent crystals are made of Traptanium and are essential for capturing the various villains. Each Trap is a specific element and allows you to capture villains that match that element.

trap team was the most boring and uninteresting sky game yet i hope so that they don't ruin sky 5

#17549 wild_defender 02:52:39 05/05/2015

yeah its quiet. not even the arrival or flng kong , enigma and flip wreck gets people goin this late in the game anymore coz even though they are cool characters, its not like they come with a new heroic challnge or anything for people too talk about.

i do appreciate they are getting the last wave out before sky 5 reveal, but at least the early reveals gave people something to discuss while waiting for the last wave to reach them.

It's not all over, it's one french article reporting that the new games will be revealed on the 21st. I looked it up.

#17538 84skylanderdude 15:35:25 02/05/2015

You didn't hear? It's all over the internet! May 21!

#17537 Qcumber 15:13:06 02/05/2015

I think the reason the games have little content (without all the figures) is because of programming the figures.

Yooka-Laylee only has one duo (like how Rocky Roll plays) of characters, maybe another one or two more side characters that can only be played at certain parts of the game. If Skylanders only had to program one character into each game, then it could be a semi-open-world game with over 30 missions/levels and bonus modes.

I don't know much about programming, but taking away at least 8-16 new characters per game would probably increase the amout of content a lot.

However, Skylanders was made as a "multiple playable characters" game, so only having one would take away the main point of the game. I think doing this would help increase the content:

No/Little backwards-compatability: I think Acti are trying to make some older characters less-known and therefore less-sold/less-used. If people mostly use newer Skylanders, then take away some of the lesser-known ones and keep the old ones for their game, they had their time in the spotlight already. Alternatively, some of the more-known (and still advertised/reposed/mini'd/etc,) Skylanders like Spyro and Chop-Chop could be kept, but less-known Skylanders like Swarm, Boomer, and Bumble Blast can be discontinued.

Less Skylanders per game: I think 8 or 16 is a good idea (no reposes/minis/etc.). Less Skylanders = more content from the game itself and less money needed to complete the collection. They could also give them abilities related to their element similar to SWAP Force which could help unlock new areas within levels, and the levels could be twice as big if they didn't make as many Skylanders. And half the level could be unlocked by using [X] Skylander for one Elemental "gate" (or minigame, because of elemental abilities similar to SWAP Force) and [X] Skylander for another gate, which would mean that 1/4 of the level could be dedicated to a single Skylander, making them have an actual unique use for every one of them. For example, [X] game's Air Skylander could fly from one (main) island to another (smaller) island.

@84skylandersdude: Where did you hear that the new games will be revealed in 19 days?

#17536 84skylanderdude 13:28:12 02/05/2015

While I do still love Skylanders, I'm kinda dying down on it. I'll always be a fan, no doubt about that, but I honestly don't care when it's revealed. I'm sure I'll be a lot more hyped for the game when it's actually revealed, but as for now, I don't really care. I'm honestly more excited for the new Pokémon games to be revealed.

The Pokémon games are gonna be revealed in only 19 days, so it's sooner than Skylanders.
