BMOG Toys
Synaxids are characters from the BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts) toy line. They are not homages to any existing characters, but meant to be used as either a stand-alone figures, 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
The Non-Dino Squad was designed by Trent Troop. They were referred to as the Notasaurs in early development.
The names of the Non-Dino Squad members were revealed in a BMOG Kickstarter update in November 2013. Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad were to be part of a stretch goal if the Kickstarter raised at least $31,000.[1]
The package art for Ursenal and Mant-Axe had teaser co-sells for Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad.
A black set of the Non-Dino Squad was part of the unsuccessful Lost Protectors Kickstarter campaign. It was to be a bonus item for anyone who pledged at least $78. A glow-in-the-dark Non-Dino Squad called the Atomic Dinotrouble set was to be a $12 add-on for anyone who pledged $39 or more.[2]
The Synaxid was released on Shapeways in March 2017.

Fictional biography
BMOG creatures were brought to life when weapons made by a group of evil interdimensional arms dealers were exposed to the power of the last world seed.
The Synaxid BMOG species resembles an Earth Dimetrodon of the Permian era, with an axe-blade sail. There are Snyaxids on both the Augmentoid and Paraxxoid sides, and while not as adaptable as some other BMOG species, they've settled in as apex predators on a number of machine worlds.
