Dark Eggleo

Dark Eggleo is a Predacon Egg Beast from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Hush my darling, be still my darling, the lion keeps your keys.

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

Ask Vector Prime

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

Toys

Beast Wars

• Dark Eggleo (Egg Beast, 1998)
  • Japanese ID number: ED-1

Dark Eggleo transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robotic lion. He is cast in dark green translucent plastic except for a handful of chromed and die-cast parts. He has a keychain attached to his robot-mode back that can only be removed by prying the metal ring open.

This mold was also used to make Eggleo and Kiss Players Angela.

Notes

• The molds used for the Egg Beasts originated as toys from the pre-Transformers Takara Microchange line, where they were called "Meteor Robo". The keychains were added for their Beast Wars release, and were retained for the molds' use in Kiss Players.
