:''The Rubber Ducky is a non-transforming [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] and [[Decepticon]] ally/bath toy from the [[Beast Wars (franchise)|Beast Wars]] portion of the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] and the [[Robots in Disguise (franchise)|Robots in Disguise]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Megatron (BW)|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==

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 Transmetalized state, 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.  {{storylink|Other Victories|Other Victories}}

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 back to his non-Transmetal and/or Rubber form. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] was probably quite pleased that he lived. Yessss..... {{storylink|Trust (Cybertron)|Trust}}

==Toys==
Hasbro has announced no plans to produce this character in toy form.  Perhaps some day, however, the Rubber Ducky might appear rendered in plastic or some other similar, soft, malleable material suitable for play and bathtime.

According to [[Glen Hallit]], one of the [[3H Productions|3H]]-proposed exclusives for the 2005 convention was [[Megatron (RID)|''Robots in Disguise'' Megatron]] retooled as [[Megatron (BW)|''Beast Wars'' Megatron]], with a Rubber Ducky accessory. This would have been ''awesome''.

==Notes==
* Rubber Ducky—he's the one.
* Megatron's voice actor [[David Kaye]] has been known to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9iXlC6mwPc oblige requests at conventions] to sing the ''[[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]]'' Rubber Ducky song in his Beast Wars Megatron voice. 
* Megatron's affinity for duckies may or may not be an inspiration for [[Ego]]'s affinity for [[Plush lizard|plush lizards]], though the lizard is known to also squeak "Hi!" at frequent and annoying times.
