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.

and sorry if my messages are very long i posted this after the other one but they automatically stick together
look at page 739 there is someone who put up a link for the two doom raiders of the sun and moon element
oh yeah he's called luminous=awesome
and i heard there are going to be traps for the sun and moon elements.
Just saw some 3DS gameplay i don't like it,i only like the wii,wiiu,xbox 360,PS3,XBOX ONE and PS4 version
Just got the majority of wave 1, just a few more to get tomorrow.
wooohoooo!!!!!!
hey,i'm new to dark spyro how do i get an avatar picture?
my favorite villains for each element are:
BOMBSHELL,CHOMP CHEST,BRAWL AND CHAIN,SCRAP SHOOTER,BRAWLRUS,
WOLFGANG,KRANKENSTEIN and SHEEP CREEP
sun: that new revealed doom raider moon: TAE KWON CROW also known as
THE GREAT HAWKMONGOUS
PS:sorry,that i don't know the name of the sun doom raider i just forgot but for the rest don't think that i'm some newbie guy that doesn't known anything about skylanders. I KNOW A LOT!!!!!
Plus i can Paypal it all if they have the figure so less hassle.
It's nice to see that someone has things in hand.
I think the other retailers need to get their sites sorted out.
All the UK have is starter packs, strategy guides and a trap box, what a joke.
I don't about the rest of Europe but, i'm very disappointed that they haven't learned from the last game about getting releases sorted on time.
