BMOG Toys[edit | edit source]
Featherblight is a character from the BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts) toy line. She 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 eagle mold was designed by Trent Troop. Featherblight was first mentioned in the Good Morning, Cybertron! podcast and her first picture was posted in a BMOG Kickstarter update. Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad were to be part of an unreached stretch goal if the Kickstarter raised at least $31,000.[1]

The evil Featherblight is an aerial scavenger 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. She is a member of the Paraxxoids. She breaks apart into a bird head which serves as her seat of intelligence, two multi-bladed swords, two thruster cannons, a sub-machine gun, a Gatling barrel attachment and a riot shield.
