Dark Eggbird is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
All of his meat is dark meat.

Dark Eggbird (ダークエッグバード Dāku Eggubādo) is the airborne Predacon Egg Beast, able to transform from a stealthy and lethal hawk mode into, uh, a ball. Presumably he has found this worthwhile as part of his role as one of Megatron's top saboteurs.

Like his fellow Egg Beasts, he is among the oldest of the Predacons.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Dark Eggbird 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 Zangetsu. Ask Vector Prime, 29/9/2015

Toys

Beast Wars

  • Dark Eggbird (Egg Beast, 1998)
    • ID number: ED-2
A retool of Micro Change Metal Hawk, Dark Eggbird features a keychain hole added for this release. Dark Eggbird transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robotic hawk. He is cast in purple translucent plastic except for a handful of chromed and die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his robot-mode back.
This mold was also used to make Eggbird and Kiss Players Zangetsu.
