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.

V "Wildfire was once a young lion of the Fire Claw Clan, about to enter into the Rite of Infernos – a test of survival in the treacherous fire plains. However, because he was made of gold, he was treated as an outcast and not allowed to participate. But this didn’t stop him. That night, Wildfire secretly followed the path of the other lions, carrying only his father’s enchanted shield. Soon he found them cornered by a giant flame scorpion. Using the shield, he protected the group from the beast’s enormous stinging tail, giving them time to safely escape. And though Wildfire was injured in the fight, his father’s shield magically changed him – magnifying the strength that was already in his heart – making him the mightiest of his clan. Now part of the Trap Team, Wildfire uses his enormous Traptanium-bonded shield to defend any and all who need it!"

V he extended what we already have. That's not plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you take what someone else did for his own. Saying what he did was plagiarism is like saying a drawing of a Skylander and taking credit for the drawing is plagiarism.

Actually Bat Spin and High Five's stories were announced when the names were chosen. Flip Wreck's thing only said "Flip Wreck is part dolphin and part ship wreck" So 3skylanderbro, you didn't come up with those. Don't play it off like you did, that's illegal, that's plagiarism, taking someone's work and saying it's your own!

3skylanderbro, you took parts of their stories and made them your own, still you have to change it slightly.

Bat Spin-
Bat Spin is a witch who lives in the underworld. She kept to herself, but many vampires would come to her for her gift with bats. She would heal them, and sometimes even turn them normal. But one day, when the underworld was bombarded with trolls, lead by the leader, Bat Spin made it her duty to protect everyone. She commanded every bat to help someone, and then took the remaining to help her fight the trolls. She eventually drove them back until the Skylanders came to help. They then invited her to become one, and now uses her powers for a better reason.

High Five-
Being the youngest in the royal family can be tough. Just ask High Five! He was the fifth born in the kingdom of Royal Dragonflies, and was often picked on by his brothers being so small. One day, the king granted each of his five sons a gift, and High Five, being the youngest, got what was left, which was speed and high flying. Disappointed with his gift, he barley used his flying, that was, until trolls began attacking the kingdom. He used his high flying to scout for them, then his speed to create a tornado to suck all the trolls away. He was a hero, and soon was known all over Skylands, and eventually was heard of by Eon, who invited him to become a skylander.

If flip wreck wins the contest, i think this would be his story.
Flip Wreck-
Once this dolphin was part of a great pirate crew, the Bottlenose Buccaneers. After a great storm, Flip Wreck woke on an island, surrounded by his broken ship, his shipmates nowhere to be found. As he was getting up, a group of giant sea turtles thought he would be a nice snack. Hearing them coming, he quickly made a suit using his broken ship, including a sword and shield. He easily fought off the turtles, jumping and hitting them until they ran off. He was soon rescued by Riptide, who then told the story to Eon, who then invited Flip Wreck to join the skylanders.

I do hate waves as different countries get them at different times. I would like waves if they were all around the same time in each country.
