Carbearator 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.
BMOG Toys designer Trent Troop has noted that while Carbearator and Chopp-Or are green, they are a darker green than the "Toxic Spill" versions of the toys.
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.
Carbearator and Chopp-Or were announced as TFExpo exclusives in March 2014.[1]
Carbearator and Chopp-Or were released at TFExpo 2014.

Fictional biography
The heroic Carbearator 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 friend to Chopp-Or. He breaks down into two assault rifles, two missile launchers, a war hammer, a combat claw, and a scanner device.
