Omega8 was kind enough to point out the Xevoz background downloads available over at Xipster. He also noticed that there weren't 6 species backgrounds but 8! The 2 different species being Reptosaurus and Runics. Excellent eyes Omega, it took me forever to spot that lil link to the backgrounds For all those who havne't found it already when you go to www.xipster.com click on the Theater and then in the lower right hand corner of the page is a little oval that says "Free Xevoz Backgrounds" I guess this answers our questions about the 2 new species logos on the Battle Terrain shown at Toy Fair. Does the fire at the top of the Reptosaurus background look like it's coming out of a dragons mouth to anyone? I don't want to get too excited before someone else sees the same thing ;D The whole castle theme we have going on there though and the fact that it's a Dragon like stone that's "breathing" fire really makes me believe that there is some type of Dragonish type species in the works. The Runics are making me think along the lines of an ancient civilization, or almost a mythological species which would tie in nicely to the Reptosaurus species. Could we possibly see some Knights and Wizards like people have been throwing around ideas about in the "what do you want to see next" thread?

The backgrounds are pretty sweet! My favorite ones are the Biomecha and meta beasts...I was kinda hopein the Unnaturals one would be cooler though. O well, still good desktop wallpaper.

Yes, somehow the 'Runics' name makes me think figures like the Pharaoh one will be in that faction.

I was wondering about that Egyptian looking guy myself, my bet would be he's going to be a deluxe figure, can't wait to see a prototype or finished version of him in plastic. You can take pics of the guys you create by using printscreen in the build a character section, so thats my guess on how to get the pic.

;D If I reveal all of my secrets then what will I have left? Edit: lol, if I don't reveal the secret someone else always does Actually I watched that freakin intro screen about 10 times and finally was quick enough with my print screen to catch him Actually now that I have some more thoughts going through my head I think he may not be Ruinic. I'm not saying he's not, as he may very well be but I need to do some research before I make up my mind

Im pretty excited about it as well, I have no idea what the Runics could look like, something mystical Id imagine. I can only dream of how cool the Reptosaurs will be though, this is the coolest figure line to come along in a looooong time (with the exception of the MotU figs! Shot out to my fellow org members! )

I didn't even think about that...the rest of his body could be skeletonized...Egyptian God back from the dead...it could work...if not I still like the idea and I just may end up with a torn apart Grim Skull Thanks again for that heads up on the backgrounds Omega!

I can see him being Runic, I picture that being an ancient mystical almost god-like race possibly based on ancient egyptian culture, the unaturals are more "spooky" in nature whereas this dude retains a certain nobility. CJK Toy Bay you know me over on the org as "War-Mongor" ;D

Blah...another one of you name changers!!! You just made me remember something though so thank you, I'll be back with an update if I can find what I'm looking for EDIT: I found exactly what I was looking for, took a while to track down where I had seen it but I knew it was out there somewhere. Part of the Feb. 15 Hasbro Press Release: [glow=green,2,300]The XEVOZ Story All of this great play is wrapped in a compelling story about a small but formidable fighting force known as The Xevolvers - the last hope of a planet plunged into chaos by a powerful technology. Long ago, the Ancients of XEVOZ learned to manipulate their genetic makeup at will with a device called the Evolutionary Accelerator (EV-AC). The EV-AC could change them physically, turning their limbs into tools and weapons of steel, stone, fire and even ice. One of the Ancients – the evil Genok – overthrew the rest and appointed himself ruler. The remaining Ancients formed The Xevolvers to stop Genok and imprison him in a secret impenetrable tomb for eternity. Or so they thought…<br>[/glow] Could that little handle weapon everyone has been wondering about be the EV-AC? Better yet could this new species of Runics be led my Genok? If so then this species is basically open to anything you can imagine as I would assume Genok has some of the most advanced knowledge, even if he has been imprisoned. It seems pretty obvious that he'll make an appearance at some time. Then again maybe my imagination is just getting the best of me

You know what, Hasbro has got to put up that first webisode on the official site!
I'm sure it would clear at least some stuff up.
