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
Tip: Don't fight him on the hard difficulty. He wiped out my whole Trap Team collection! I had to move on to SSA characters. I saved Snap Shot for the last blow though. The game started with him, and it ended with him.
Funny how the 4th game in the series is my second favorite just like how Transformers (4): Age of Extinction is my second favorite in the Transformers live action films, which ALSO came out this year.
Grimslinger91- I preferred the game play, Graphics, and a lot of stuff, a lot more in SSA, and loved the short levels and story. But Giants had battle arenas which was awesome. And giants was cool with the Characters, but SSA is still my favorite out of the 2, because no guy was similar to another. Very original!
