  • Dark Eggbird (Egg Beast, 1998)
    • ID number: ED-2
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.
