I just got a group of Transformers, and they are TOTALLY in the style of Xevoz. If you get the Optimus Prime/Megatron 2-pack, or Prowl or Blackarachnia, you'll find that they are VERY MUCH like Xevoz. Lots of Ball Joints, the plastic looks and feels similar, and the arty direction is pure Xevoz.

I picked up swoop yesterday, and he really reminds me of storm wing, in color and in shape. i've got basically all of the figures so far, and i have to say that i am really impressed with the line

Kinda related but not entirely..... Seibertron had a link to another site showing new characters. One of the four they showed was Rodimus Prime. Here's a link. These guys are to appear in Season 3. Another link.

I just realized that the TF animated art style would lend itself very well to Xevoz toys. Imagine being able to build your own autobot or decepticon using parts from TF animated xevoz kits

OKay, I'm fully onboard with the show, and partially on board with the toys. The cartoon is fun, has a lot of references to the original show. It's waaaay better than the energon/armada/minicon/anime thing they did. They toys are great. I only get the ones I like, but I really like them Grimlock is all kinds of awesome Lockdown and Swindle need voice chips! C'mon, it's Lance Hendrickson, and Fred Willard! The only two problems I have, is that the toys are way ahead of the cartoon. Who the hell is the other motorcycle guy? We haven't seen Soundwave transform in the cartoon yet, but is toy is a scion. We have seen Jetfire/Jetstorm, but those toys are out. Also, the scale is way off. Poor Jazz, so tiny compared to the two motorcycles. They should have done one size for the small figs, like prowl, bumblebee. another size deluxe, voyager whatever, for the cars. and then a bigger size for the big guys. Optimus, Grimlock, bulkhead. Anyhow, thats my transformers rant for the week.

The toys really are cool To answer your question, the 'other motorcycle dude' also known as Oil Slick isn't in the show (yet) not because he was made/released ahead of time however. He's always been a Hasbro designed figure, as opposed to everybody else who is cartoon network designed. He was never meant to be in the show. But apparently, there's a demand for it, so CN is introducing him in the upcoming season 3. He will look different too (expect a toy repaint/remold). He's not a bad toy either. I made for an excellent base for my Cy-Kill custom
