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.

Comments
V you just named practically every trap. That's not really much of a wave 1 prediction. You might as well have just said "every trap".
Im getting the Drak Edition Starter Pack. Im pre-ordering it in a few days LITERALLY!!
earth:hammer,orb,toucan,hourglass
air:screamer,jughead,hourglass,toucan
life:torch,hammer,toucan,tiki?
undead:hand,axe,orb,skull,angel?
tech:angel,scepter,hand,tiki
magic:log holder,hourglass,skull,axe
fire:scepter,torch,screamer,possibly one more fire skull if so
water:jughead,axe,log holder,tiki,angel probly not but i hope water hand
so about 3,4,5 traps per element
@84skylanderdude and @ greeble i like those ideas here's what i was thinking
earth log holder
air torch
life will be in both unreleased traps
undead screamer
tech hammer
magic scepter i think i saw one on a picture that has a ton of traps and skylanders at the sweet suite it's on the skylander boy and girl sheep villain video
magic jughead or orb
fire skull
sorry for the super long comment
Tech Hammer
Magic Jughead
Life Log Holder
Magic Orb
Earth Scepter
Undead Screamer
Fire Skull
Air Torch
I've had a thought about the traps we have left and i wondered what you all thought:
Tech Hammer
Earth Jughead
Life Logholder
Fire Orb
Magic Scepter
Undead Screamer
Fire Skull
Air Torch
That would 1 each of the Air, Earth, Fire, Life, Magic & Tech for the new models.
I was also thinking that an Amazon with a Bolo Whip would make a good Life Trap Master.
Has anyone consider that an Air Villain could be the source of the Tornado that changed Warnado?
Let me know what you all think.
Magic: Axe, Hourglass, Log Holder, Skull, --, --

I've just re-checked and there are 2 trap models to be revealed which would make the traps add up to 48.
So that leaves 14 traps to be revealed in total.
I hate Maths
So far we have:
Angel, Axe, Hammer, Hand, Hourglass, Jughead, Log Holder, Orb, Scepter, Screamer, Skull, Tiki, Torch & Toucan.
Leaving us with:
1 Hammer, 1 Jughead, 1 Log Holder, 1 Orb, 1 Scepter, 1 Screamer, 1 Skull, 1 Torch & 3 Unrevealed model.
The only completed element so far is Water with a full 6 traps.
@ Traptanium5512, thanks so much
I heard that Trap Shadow was supposed to have been part of Trap Team but they introduced him earlier.
He would have been a great Trap Master i just hope the other Magic Trap Master is as good.
