Carbearator 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. He is a TFExpo 2014 exclusive.
BMOG Toys[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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-Orr were released at TFExpo 2014.

Fictional biography[edit | edit source]
If its got gears, pistons, fuel injectors or the like, this one-bot chop shop wants to take it apart & rebuild it better, faster, stronger... Even his own body. A brilliant if eccentric mechanical & munitions expert. When he's not shoulders-deep in a tank engine, making it pop flaming wheelies, he's tinkering with his own systems, constantly changing up his ammo load-out. This makes firing his guns a gamble, you can never be sure what's coming out of the barrel but it's going to do a LOT of damage.
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-Orr. He breaks down into two assault rifles, two missile launchers, a war hammer, a combat claw, and a scanner device.
