Bearium is a character from the BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts) toy line. He is not an homage to any existing character, but meant to be used as either a stand-alone figure, or as accessories to any toy capable of using 5mm port accessories, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Zoids Blox, and many others.
Development
Troop said he designed the BMOG Toys bear and manta mold in Studio 3D. The hexagons in its design are inspired by honeycombs.
Fundraising for the BMOG Toys bear and manta mold was done through Kickstarter. The goal of raising $19,000 was surpassed by the end of the fundraising period on December 13th, 2013.
BMOG Toys designer Trent Troop has commented that the "Toxic Spill" green used for Bearium and Gamma-Ray is similar to the green found on Generation 1 Scorpulator's stinger/legs.[1]
Designs for the Bearium and Gamma-Ray colors of the molds were announced when they were placed for preorder on Big Bad Toy Store in April 2014.
He was released at Botcon 2014

Fictional biography
The evil Bearium was brought to life when weapons made by a group of evil interdimensional arms dealers were exposed to the power of the last world seed. He is a member of the evil Paraxxoids and partner to Gamma-Ray. He breaks down into two assault rifles, two missile launchers, a war hammer, a combat claw, and a scanner device.
Bearium loves pollution. He eats garbage, toxic waste, and other grossness and converts it into a glowing mutagenic sludge valued in several war-torn dimensions. He can hold in his own toxicity to keep his partners safe but oozes it out when he feels wronged. Unfortunately for his partners, Bearium has a deep-seated inferiority complex. Fortunately for his enemies, simple soap and water damages his mutated mechanical systems, and the sight of a car wash is enough to send him running.
Games
Bearium and Gamma-Ray appear as expansion characters in the Kaiju Kaos miniatures game.
