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

==BMOG Toys==

Mant-Axe 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.

Mant-Axe inspired BMOG characters like [[Mega-Mant-Axe]].

===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.

Trent announced Mant-Axe online on various message boards in October 2013. Initially its name was spelled Mantaxe, but it was developed under the spelling Mantax. Ultimately the spelling was changed to Mant-Axe, possibly to avoid confusion with the Bionical toy named Mantax.

===Fictional biography===

The evil Mant-Axe is a slippery sea-spy 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. He is a member of the Paraxxoids and rival of the heroic Ursenal. Mant-Axe has under-wing turbines that work both in air and water. He breaks down into a double-bladed battle axe and a duel barreled laser pistol.

{{quote|Mant-Axe thinks he’s a lot smarter and sneakier than he really is. His engines allow him to fly with hardly a sound, and in water he can run silently. His steel-scale skin confounds most conventional detection systems. He’s got amazing technical advantages... but his tactics leave something to be desired. He loves to scare his targets before he strikes, giving them little glimpses of the doom he’ll visit upon them. As a result he is as subtle as a bazooka in an echo chamber. His rampaging ego puts him at odds with friends and foes alike.}}
