[[File:Quackles.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Admit it, if you buy [[Megatron (BW)/toys#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Megatron]] you're gonna be getting this guy too.]]

'''Quackles''' may be cute and yellow and chubby, and the other BotBots are awfully fond of him... but at the same time, Quackles wants to be more than just a harmless little bath toy. Indeed, this incredibly courageous 'bot fancies himself as a deep-sea adventurer, boldly plumbing the depths of the briny deep... but until the day that he can actually ''visit'' the ocean, he'll content himself with a voyage to the bottom of the sink.

[[File:Transmetal rubber ducky.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|You make conquest lots of fun!]]
[[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] is awfully fond of the '''Rubber Ducky'''; it is one of his closest allies and associates. Though it seems to lack any combat capabilities, Megatron often confers with it on unknown but presumably important matters.

It is cute and yellow and chubby.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars'' cartoon continuity===
====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
[[File:Rubber ducky cotf2.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|Sadly, does not change into a robot.]]
The Rubber Ducky was seen among Megatron's hoard of personal possessions, such as [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]'s head and a model airplane, guarding them perhaps. It was unable to stop [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] from ransacking the cabinets, however; all it could do was squeak in protest as she cast it aside. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)|Coming of the Fuzors (Part 2)}}

When [[Rampage (BW)|Rampage]] discovered that Megatron had used half of his [[Spark]] to give life to [[Dinobot II]], he threatened to rip it from the new Predacon's chest, only to find that Dinobot II wasn't about to let that happen. The Rubber Ducky observed all this in silence from the comfort of Megatron's CR tank hot tub, apparently content that the Predacon commander had the situation under control. {{storylink|Feral Scream Part 1|Feral Scream Part 1}}

Later, the Rubber Ducky was apparently changed into a [[Transmetal]] (or possibly even a [[Transmetal 2]]), perhaps as a result of Megatron's experiments with the technology. When Megatron decided to attack the [[Maximal]] [[Mount St. Hilary|base]] to disrupt an attempt to reprogram Blackarachnia, the Rubber Ducky emphasized the scheme with a resounding squeak. {{storylink|Crossing the Rubicon|Crossing the Rubicon}}

Shortly after, the Predacons evacuated their base, seconds before Tigerhawk's arrival obliterated it. Perhaps hindered by its lack of a means of locomotion, the Rubber Ducky was not seen escaping with them, and likely became a casualty of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. {{storylink|Other Victories|Other Victories}}

====''TransTech''====
Among many other souvenirs of the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]], a Rubber Ducky wound up in [[Packrat]]'s collection of loot. {{storylink|Collections}}

===2001 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
[[File:Ultra Magnus Skybyteduck.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|Now to fill the hole with water.]]

A being similar in appearance to the Rubber Ducky had been hibernating underground before being excavated by [[Sky-Byte (RID)|Sky-Byte]], who, uncaring of its fortitude, casually tossed it aside. Whether the same creature or a duplicate, it was still able to let out a defiant squeak. It seemed to be a lot bigger than you might expect for a rubber ducky (bigger than the bomb Sky-Byte found) but it may be about the right size for Megatron. {{storylink|Ultra Magnus (episode)|Ultra Magnus}}
{{-}}

===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
The Rubber Ducky was seen having a party around [[Ransack (Cybertron)|Ransack]]'s head with all his other Rubber Ducky buddies. Somehow he managed to revert to his non-Transmetal and/or Rubber form. [[Megatron (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Megatron]] was probably quite pleased that he lived. Yessss..... {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}
{{-}}
===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===
[[File:FourBotsBaby rubber ducky in sewer.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Little do they know, the duck intended to destroy Griffin Rock with the sinkhole. Little bastard.]]
[[Ezra Greene|Doc Greene]]'s [[Robo-Baby]] came with a Rubber Ducky. After [[Chase (RB)|Chase]] found it, it was handed to the Robo-Baby, who promptly threw it into the nearest sink. The Rubber Ducky was washed down the drain into [[Griffin Rock]]'s sewer system, where it blocked a sewer line, causing a rupture that created a sink hole under the bank. During the course of saving the bank and its customers, [[Graham Burns]] fished the Rubber Ducky out of the pipe, rescuing it. {{storylink|Four Bots and a Baby}} [[Boulder]] kept it. Hopefully he cleaned the sewage off. {{storylink|The Other Doctor}}

A second Rubber Ducky belonging to [[Jerry (RB)|Jerry]] later caused problems at the [[Griffin Rock Community Pool]] when it was accidentally knocked over and fell into the water. Jerry went to retrieve it, only to be encased in ice when the pool was inadvertently set to freeze over. The Rubber Ducky was left floating atop the broken ice after Jerry was pulled out, allowing it to make amends by body-checking the [[Morocco virus]] off into the water, at which point the pool was set to freeze once again. While the Morocco virus was retrieved, the fate of the Rubber Ducky was not revealed. {{storylink|Back to Virtual Reality}}

[[H.B. Luskey|Mayor Luskey]] had yet another Rubber Ducky in his pool with him while he watched the election returns. Luskey was so startled by the results that he did a spit take; Ducky was in the line of fire, eliciting a squeak of protest. {{storylink|Mayor May Not}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:NotAllMegatrons-newbodies.jpg|thumb|150px|"Soon..."]]

Rubber Ducky sat in a CR bath in [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s mansion; [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]] caught a glimpse of it when he led a raid on [[Darksyder]] headquarters. Rubber Ducky was later in the background as the Darksyders underwent the [[Beast Upgrade]]. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}}
{{--}}

===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===
When [[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] felt that his luck had deserted him, [[Cody Burns]] let him borrow his lucky rubber duck Luke. The rubber duck gave Hot Shot a new-found confidence that helped him carry out a tricky rescue with the other recruits, however when they returned to base, Cody revealed he'd pick-pocketed the duck before the recruits left and the confidence had been in Hot Shot all along. [[Wedge (RBA)|Wedge]] still opted to take the rubber duck on their next mission. {{storylink|Lucky Ducky}}

[[File:BotCon2016toy RubberDucky.jpg|upright=1.0|thumb]]
*'''BotCon 2016 Megatron's Rubber Duckie''' (2016)

:A human-scaled rubber ducky, this souvenir was first released at the Club Store at [[BotCon 2016]], intended as an autograph item for fans to have signed by [[David Kaye]], ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Wars]]'' [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]]'s voice actor. As it is an ordinary rubber ducky, it is not intended to [[scale]] with any Megatron figure. However, shortly before BotCon began, it was discovered that the BotCon 2016 Megatron souvenir figure could hold the ducky in the palm of its Hand Mode, making for some degree of (admittedly coincidental) interactive playability between the two.
:The rubber ducky was limited to 400 pieces. A second run was later produced after BotCon for sale on the Club's online store. The initial run [[variant]] of the duck sported a burgundy "BotCon 2016" logo on its front, while the second run version changed this logo's color from burgundy to blue.

==Notes==
*Rubber Ducky—he's the one.
*Since Hasbro has announced no plans to produce this character in toy form, [[Fun Publications]] decided to do so in 2016, as seen above.
*Voice actor [[David Kaye]] has been known to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9iXlC6mwPc oblige requests at conventions] to sing the ''{{w|Sesame Street}}'' [[Wikia:muppet:Rubber Duckie (song)|Rubber Ducky song]] in his Beast Wars Megatron voice. And to this day, it's very catchy.
*Megatron's affinity for duckies may or may not be an inspiration for [[Ego (TransTech)|Ego]]'s affinity for [[plush lizard]]s, though the lizard is known to also squeak "Hi!" at frequent and annoying times.
*The noise the Rubber Ducky made when squeezed would later be recycled as a stock sound effect for ''[[Wikia:mlp:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic|My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]''.
*Lo and behold, we got [[Quackles]].
