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.

Here, I recolored some traps to show what they might look like if they were the elements I put them in to even it out. They still have their original element symbol on them, but you're limited on an iPad. :/

If there's any more you guys want me to make, feel free to ask.
I also just rushed and immediately put whatever only had two Traps into the Sun and Moon elements, so I'll think about it a bit more and categorize it instead of just randomly putting them in.
Sun: Flying Helmet, Jughead, Orb, Rocket, Scepter, Torch
Moon: Hand, Log Holder, Rocket, Screamer, Tiki, Yawn
That would make 60 traps... + Kaos... Hope we get a trap box who can contain them ALL I really like your idea
Here is a list of our confirmed Traps.
Magic: Axe, Log Holder, Rocket, Skull, Totem, --
Earth: Hammer, Orb, Totem, Toucan, --, --
Water: Angel, Axe, Flying Helmet, Jughead, Log Holder, Tiki
Fire: Scepter, Torch, Totem, Yawn, --, --
Tech: Angel, Flying Helmet, Hand, Scepter, Tiki, --
Undead: Axe, Hand, Orb, Skull, Snake, --
Air: Jughead, Snake, Sword, Toucan, --, --
Life: Hammer, Snake, Sword, Torch, Toucan, Yawn
Angel: Water, Tech, --

Snake: Undead, Air, Life
Sword: Air, Life, --
Tiki: Water, Tech, --
Torch: Fire, Life, --
Totem: Magic, Earth, Fire
Toucan: Earth, Air, Life

Let's say they fill in the rest of these elements with more Traps. It would look like this. (I'll make up the ones they fill them with.)

It's still uneven, right? Well, did you forget about the Sun and Moon elements? What if they made Traps for them? (They fit perfectly with the Rocket sculpt!) So, if you include those, and give them six Traps each, it looks like this!

Earth: Hammer, Hourglass, Orb, Sword, Totem, Toucan
Water: Angel, Axe, Flying Helmet, Jughead, Log Holder, Tiki
Fire: Scepter, Screamer, Skull, Torch, Totem, Yawn
Tech: Angel, Flying Helmet, Hammer, Hand, Scepter, Tiki
Undead: Angel, Axe, Hand, Orb, Skull, Snake
Air: Hourglass, Jughead, Screamer, Snake, Sword, Toucan
Life: Hammer, Snake, Sword, Torch, Toucan, Yawn
Sun: Flying Helmet, Hand, Jughead, Log Holder, Orb, Rocket
Moon: Rocket, Scepter, Screamer, Tiki, Torch, Yawn
Angel: Water, Tech, Undead
Axe: Magic, Water, Undead
Flying Helmet: Water, Tech, Sun
Hammer: Earth, Tech, Life
Hand: Tech, Undead, Sun
Hourglass: Magic, Earth, Air
Jughead: Water, Air, Sun
Log Holder: Magic, Water, Sun
Orb: Earth, Undead, Sun
Rocket: Magic, Sun, Moon
Scepter: Fire, Tech, Moon
Screamer: Fire, Air, Moon
Skull: Magic, Fire, Undead
Snake: Undead, Air, Life
Sword: Earth, Air, Life
Tiki: Water, Tech, Moon
Torch: Fire, Life, Moon
Totem: Magic, Earth, Fire
Toucan: Earth, Air, Life
Yawn: Fire, Life, Moon
