BMOG Toys
Chainbill Splatterpus 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
The concept of the Chainbill Splatterpus was first mentioned in an interview with Trent Troop on an episode of Good Morning, Cybertron! in December 2013.
In June 2014 BMOG Toys announced that Chainbill Splatterpus had been moved up to their second mold release, being gang-molded with Featherblight.[1]
During development the platypus mold went from being 2 chainsaws to 2 chainsaw and a blaster/rebreather and a hat.
In April 2015 BMOG Toys announced they would be teaming up with Nonnef Productions to produce Chainbill Splatterpus.[2]
In May 2015 BMOG Toys announced that the Chainbill Splatterpus would feature foil stickers made by Reprolabels.[3]
In December 2015 BMOG Toys announced that Nonnef Productions had declined to go further with the project, citing the destruction of the molds in the recent flooding of the Carolinas.[4]
In March 2017 BMOG Toys changed its name to Prize Inside. Chainbill Splatterpus was released on the their Shapeways store.

Fictional biography
The heroic Chainbill Splatterpus 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 Augmentoids and rival of the evil Brainsaw. He breaks down into two chainsaws and a rebreather/blaster.
Made of leftover parts, the Chainbill Splatterpus packs swim trough iron swamps and debris-laiden spaceways with their diamond-tipped bills and tails. Often mistaken for mere pets, nearly every member of the species has some secret double life, be it as a secret agent, a mobster, old-timey reporter, and so forth.
