BMOG
Mantax is an original third party Transformer made by BMOG. 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.
Development
Mantax was designed by Trent Troop. The outline was first teased on the BMOG Tumblr page in October 2013.[1]
Trent announced Mantax online on various message boards in October 2013. Initially the name was spelled Mantaxe.
Reception
The Good Morning, Cybertron! podcast for October 25th, 2013 interviewed Trent Troop about BMOG, where he mentioned Ursenal, Mantax and Featherblight as well as simple one-piece weapons that become a dimetrodon, ichthyosaur and pterodactyl.[2]
Fictional biography
The evil Mantax 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 Paraxxoids and rival of the heroic Ursenal. Mantax has under-wing turbines that work both in air and water.
