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
The BMOG Toys bird of prey 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 packages for Ursenal and Mant-Axe had teaser co-sells for Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad.

Fictional biography
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.
