Ursenal is a fictional character and robot toy made by BMOG Toys in 2014. He is a heroic robotic bear who turns into an arsenal of weapons.

BMOG Toys[edit | edit source]

Ursenal 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[edit | edit source]

The BMOG Toys bear mold was designed by Trent Troop. He said he came up with the idea of BMOG Toys when playing with a Generation 1 Top-Heavy toy. He also says it was inspired by Glyos. He designed Ursenal in Studio 3D. The hexagons in its design are inspired by honeycombs. Early names for Ursenal included Bruination and Bear Made of Guns. The name Bruination was abandoned due to it's similarity to a character owned by another company.

BMOG announced their first product, Ursenal, in October 2013.[1]

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.

He was released at BotCon 2014.

Fictional biography[edit | edit source]

The heroic Ursenal is a brash warrior who 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 Mant-Axe. He breaks down into two assault rifles, two missile launchers, a war hammer, a combat claw, and a scanner device.



This battling bruin has an unshakable belief in right and wrong. When he sees injustice he leaps into battle full-force.

Unfortunately he tends to act on first impulse, preferring gut instinct over rational action. He means well, but his penchant for the "blast first ask questions maybe" style of warfare can cause just as much damage to whatever the good guys are trying to protect.

He is often found taking recharge-naps in the sun to replenish his reserves.


Comics[edit | edit source]

Ursenal and Mant-Axe appeared in a BMOG mini-comic by Boltax.

Ursenal and his parts appeared in several BMOG Toys comics. Offroad was embarrassed his Energon hatchet was identical to that used by Ironhide.[12] So Offroad obtained a M.A.U.L.-48 assault rifles and anti-protonic missile launcher from Ursenal and serrator axe from Mant-Axe, while Ironhide obtained two rifles and two missile launchers from Cobiak.[13]

When Sunstreaker appeared in combat with a helipack made from Cobiak, Deep Blue, Mant-Axe and Ursenal and two rifles from Cobiak, Offroad responded with an anti-aircraft gun made of pieces of Peg-Paw Plundor and Dread Pickaxe Raybot.[14]

Galvatronus deserved a big weapon in battle, so he carried the Obliteration Cannon made of parts of Cobiak, Deep Blue, Mant-Axe and Ursenal. He also carried an axe from Dread Pickaxe Raybot, a rifle and scanner from Peg-Paw Plundor, a serrator axe from Mant-Axe and a plutonium rifle from Bearium.[15]

When the Starrior Deadeye needed new arms, Ursenal gave him a hand.[16]

Games[edit | edit source]

Mant-Axe and Ursenal appear as expansion characters in the Kaiju Kaos miniatures game.
