During the opening of Skylanders Academy presented by Buzz, a remnant of the explosion is seen and he goes to investigate. As a result, the Trap Masters were also sent to earth along with crystal traps formed by a material of the prison called Traptanium. Some years later, Kaos, the game's main antagonist, released The Doom Raiders and the other villains by blowing up Cloudcracker Prison with his Evil Frequency Modulator of Evil Doom. They were eventually captured by the Trap Masters and remanded to Cloudcracker Prison. Long ago, Skylands was ruled by powerful villains called the Doom Raiders who hid out in the Savage Badlands and wreaked havoc over Skylands. The goal of the game is to capture the villains who have escaped from Cloudcracker Prison. The Trap Team must begin the ultimate adventure as they explore the world of Skylands in search of the escaped villains.
Using Traptanium, a magic material that can harness the power of the elements, they now have the amazing ability to trap the villains and return them to Skylands to fight for them. Now it's up to Snap Shot, Wallop, Jawbreaker, Wildfire, Gearshift, Krypt King, Gusto, Lob Star, Bushwhack, Head Rush, Ka-Boom, Blastermind, Tuff Luck, Thunderbolt, Short Cut, Enigma, Knight Light, Knight Mare, and the rest of the gang to find and capture them. Kaos has blown up the walls of Cloudcracker Prison, freeing The Doom Raiders, the most notorious villains in Skylands, lead by the Golden Queen and her cohorts: The Gulper, Chompy Mage, Chef Pepper Jack, Dreamcatcher, Dr. Later figurines named "Trap Masters", working with the Portal Master, must try to capture all criminals that Kaos has released from Cloudcracker Prison, which held the most feared villains of Skylands.Ī sequel to Trap Team, Skylanders: SuperChargers, was released in September 2015.
The figurines are then used in-game as playable characters. Skylanders: Trap Team utilizes a near-field communication reader platform, called the Traptanium Portal, that reads NFC chips located on the bottom of figurines.
