| This article is about the Maximal from Beast Wars. For the eggs from Angry Birds, see Eggbot (AB). |
- Eggbot is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Despite being one of the "Egg Beasts", 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.
Like his fellow Egg Beasts, Eggbot is among the oldest operational Maximals.
