'''Pick-Slaughter''' is a [[fictional character]] and robot toy made by [[BMOG Toys]] in 2014. He is an evil robotic manta ray. 

==BMOG Toys==
Pick-Slaughter 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===
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.

A survey of the Kickstarter members as to what color the Kickstarter exclusive bear and manta should be resulted in "action hunter" orange. This set was named Solarbear vs. Pick-Slaughter. BMOG Toys designer Trent Troop has commented that the orange used for Pick-Slaughter is similar to the "safety" orange found on ''Generation 1'' [[Tyrannotron]].<REF>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1822390380/bmog-bio-mechanical-ordnance-gestalts-ursenal-vs-m/comments</REF>

Pick-Slaughter was the original sprue-mate conceived to go with Solarbear, but the decision as made to have the toy be an Augmentoid, so it was turned into Sea-Labyrs. You can still make Pick-Slaughter be applying alternate Paraxxoid stickers to the Sea-Labrys toy.

Solarbear and Sea-Labrys were released in August 2014. The package included stickers to make Sea-Labrys into Pick-Slaughter.
