:''Eggbot is a [[Maximal]] from the [[Beast Wars: Transformers (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''<br />

Despite being one of the "[[Egg Beast]]s", '''Eggbot''' (エッグボット ''Eggubotto'') does not actually possess a [[beast mode]]. Regardless, he is remarkably brave for his small size and excels in hand-to-hand combat.<br />
<br />
Like his fellow Egg Beasts, Eggbot is among the oldest operational Maximals.<br />

===Ask Vector Prime===<br />
Eggbot was a sleeper agent of [[Unicron]], inserted into Maximal society. Like all the Egg Beasts, his alternate forms bore many similarities to Unicron's own structure. Unicron would reuse his design for the [[Sparkbot]] [[Star Dust]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 29/9/2015}}<br />

* '''Eggbot''' (Egg Beast, 1998)<br />
**''ID number:'' '''EC-3'''<br />
<br />
: Eggbot transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robot. He is cast in translucent blue plastic except for a handful of chromed and die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his [[robot mode]] back (well, you ''can'' remove it if you bend the metal attaching ring).<br />
<br />
: The Egg Beasts were late (and low-run) additions to the [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' line, and as such demand a higher price tag than one would expect at first.<br />
<br />
: This mold is a keychain-loop-adding [[retool]]ing of the 1988 Takara ''{{w|Mashin Hero Wataru}}'' "Jakira" toy, which is itself a new-torso-and-head retooling of the pre-''Transformers'' Takara ''[[Micro Change]]'' Meteor Robo "MC-14 Metal Man" toy. Whew! The original ''Micro Change'' version of the mold included a base and two guns that could be mounted in either configuration, which were excluded for all subsequent ''Mashin Hero Wataru'' and ''Transformers'' releases.<br />
<br />
: This mold was also used to make [[Dark Eggbot]] and ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]'' [[Star Dust]].<br />
