==BMOG Toys==
Splashpoints are characters from the BMOG (Bio-Mechanical Ordnance Gestalts) toy line. They are not homages to any existing characters, but meant to be used as either a stand-alone figures, 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 Non-Dino Squad was designed by [[Trent Troop]]. They were referred to as the Notasaurs in early development.

The names of the Non-Dino Squad members were revealed in a BMOG Kickstarter update in November 2013. Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad were to be part of a stretch goal if the Kickstarter raised at least $31,000.<REF>http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1822390380/bmog-bio-mechanical-ordnance-gestalts-ursenal-vs-m/posts/672854</REF>

The package art for Ursenal and Mant-Axe had teaser co-sells for Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad.

A black set of the Non-Dino Squad was part of the unsuccessful Lost Protectors Kickstarter campaign. It was to be a bonus item for anyone who pledged at least $78. A glow-in-the-dark Non-Dino Squad called the Atomic Dinotrouble set was to be a $12 add-on for anyone who pledged $39 or more.<REF>https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/44339820/play-with-this-too-lost-protectors/posts/1376759</REF>

===Fictional biography===
BMOG creatures were brought to life when weapons made by a group of evil interdimensional arms dealers were exposed to the power of the last world seed. 

{{quote|As BMOGs go, Splashpoints are old-timey creatures with old-timey tastes. Sometimes mistaken for mechandolphins or robopenguins, they are more analogous to Earth ichthyosaurs, and their weapon forms resemble old fashioned retro ray pistols.  Like all the non-dino squad BMOGs, Splashpoints are found as both Paraxxoids and Augmentoids.}}
