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.

Kay, so I LOVE Cobra Cadabra. He just might be my favorite core of all time. I never thought someone could surpass Camo. I might be wrong, I'll still have to wait for gameplay, so Camo is still my #1, but this guy just might surpass him.
As for Trap Masters, I'm not sure who my favorite is anymore. I'm thinking Tuff Luck may be it. We'll have to see gameplay first before I can decide. If he's not that cool, it might be Bushwhack. I dunno. I'll need gameplay of the others too.
And for Doom Raiders, Wolfgang is still my favorite.
I think they will add another element. Since there were two question marks on the villains instead of 1, the last could be of the new element. Maybe there will be no Trap Masters in this element, but there will be Cores. 16 Trap Masters, 18 cores. The two new cores could be in one of those question mark boxes off to the side of the rest of the characters. The other box could be minis of them or something.
