Toys only store data
Skylanders: Trap Team trap figures
One example of figures that store things differently is the trap toys from Trap Team. While each trap can only represent one villain at a time, it looks like based on the data that each trap keeps a record of each villain trapped with it!
Sheep Creep
Just like with Ninjini, we start with a zeroed-out Life trap, and trap Sheep Creep with it, the first Life element villain:

Trap Team writes out the full trap, but if we assume that all figures work the same, then we know from Ninjini that half of this is duplicate data, and the game will write to one half and then the other half. So, which half is Sheep Creep's data stored in?
Let's trap more Life villains. The next one in the game is Broccoli Guy, and Chompy Mage after that.
When we trap all three, but pick Sheep Creep to stay on the trap every time, the trap is never updated!
Broccoli Guy
If we visit the Villain Vault and switch to Broccoli Guy, this happens:

Chompy Mage
Then if we switch to Chompy Mage, this happens:

Blocks 9 and 10 (8, 9) are updated, and 14 (0d). But also 18 and 34 (11, 21). This is now the third villain to be written to the trap.
Analysis
We learned with the Giants figure that the toys duplicate their data, writing to one half, then the other. Let's look at it with the two halves lined up.

With the writing of the second villain, we saw 24 and 25 updated, the first two blocks; and 29, which is three blocks away. And also 3d, at the end.
With the writing of a third villain, we saw 8 and 9 updated, the first two blocks again; and 11, which is three blocks away from 29; and 21, at the end.
If you start counting upward with the third villain, you have a pattern of three villains: the third at 11/2d, the second three blocks away at 0d/29, and the first stored three blocks away at 09/25.
(If that pattern holds, you should see further updates below that at 15/31, 19/35, and 1d/39, assuming there are that many villains of that trap element.)
That leaves one block at the top, and one at the bottom. We can guess that one of those stores which villain is "active" in the trap, and the other perhaps some sort of timer or usage data, like we saw on Ninjini.
Experimenting with a Water trap and capturing Gulper, then Slobber Trap, but picking Slobber Trap, has the first two updates happening in the same order, in the same place, also!
