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.

Hey does anyone know you can hold down chill bills first attack. Only on medium enemies.

@84skylanderlandersdude, they may have different coding to suit the systems.

Well i bit the bullet and bought the last 3 traps from Australia.

So in a few weeks i'll have a full trap box smilie

I'm so annoyed.

I got stung with a massive customs charge to get my traps from Australia.

As if i'd not spent enough smilie

My traps arrived this morning and they all work.

I know officially have a complete set of Traptanium Crystals smilie

I sure hope they bring the Yawns to the U.S. one day. All of them are hundreds of dollars each online.

I also can only find the Light Rocket online for like $50 at cheapest. Anyone know of a cheaper place I can find it online? I never found it in stores. I'm looking for just the normal one, not the Rebel Lob Goblin one.

Ive heard several reports saying there will be absolutely no Yawn Traps in the US, but im still hoping! Anyone else heard news that differs?

I have two Trap ideas: Sunshine Slasher (Light Captain's Hat) and Nightmare Howler (Dark Screamer).

V yeah of course, why wouldn't they work? It's all the same toy.

#18187 Greeble 13:43:53 23/11/2015
V I've been trying to find someone in Europe, but as yet no luck.

Why do they have to mess things up all the time?

Do Minis from the US work in Europe?

#18186 84skylanderdude 20:02:47 21/11/2015
Does anyone have the Yawn Traps who is willing to sell them for a reasonable price (unlike the 400$ ones on eBay)?
avatar
#18185 Greeble 16:40:33 19/11/2015
I got myself a Tech Tiki.

Now i just need to try and track down the rest of the stuff i need.

#18184 Deja Vu 14:51:24 17/11/2015
So i guess there's no hope for Nitro Head Rush, King Cobra Cadabra etc. to become emojis?

#18183 Trighap52 20:14:34 15/11/2015
This game is absolutely nothing! I hated it ! Swap force is the best game so far ( I don't have superchargers)
avatar
#18182 Chompy-King257 11:21:08 09/11/2015
Loved this game a lot, and probably would of been the best game in my eyes, besides Superchargers, if they had just released those Yawn Traps over here.

If anyone gets any news about them, please post it here!

#18181 Deja Vu 11:05:19 08/11/2015
I wouldn't like a Skylanders game only based around dragons. I prefer humanoid characters over them and it didn't bother me that this year we didn't have any four-legged/dragon Skylanders (only if you want to count Spitfire).

Ooops sorry, wrong poll 'smilie
