Dark Eggleo (ダークエッグレオ Dāku Eggureo) is a strange little critter with a bizarre altmode and a set of very evil teeth, with which he supports the Predacons through biting. Like many evil Cybertronic cats, he is an expert saboteur and among the oldest known Predacons.

Fiction

[edit]

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Dark Eggleo was a sleeper agent of Unicron, inserted into Predacon 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 Angela. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/29

Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion keeps your keys.
  • Dark Eggleo (Egg Beast, 1998)
  • ID number: ED-1
  • Known designers: Masaki Maruyama (original tooling){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
A late (and low-run) addition to the Takara Beast Wars line, Dark Eggleo transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a lion. He is cast in translucent green 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).
All of the Eggbots demand a higher price tag on the secondary market than one would expect at first, thanks to their late and relatively limited release.
This mold is a retooling of the 1988 Takara [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Mashin Hero Wataru|{{#if:||Mashin Hero Wataru}}]] "Jaleon" toy, giving him a new loop for his attached keychain. The Wataru toy was itself a retool of the Micro Change "MC-15 Metal Leo" toy, which also had a base and two additional mane-guns excluded from all later iterations of the mold.
This mold was also used to make Eggleo and Kiss Players Angela.
