==Notes==
* The molds used for the Egg Beasts originated as toys from the pre-Transformers [[TakaraTomy|Takara]] ''[[Micro Change|Microchange]]'' line, where they were called "Meteor Robo". They were [[retool]]ed to include keychains for their ''Beast Wars'' release, which were retained for the molds' use in ''[[Transformers: Kiss Players (toyline)|Kiss Players]]''.
* Of the Eggbeasts, only Eggbot and Dark Eggbot sport cosmetic retools from the original Meteor Robo versions.  Whereas the originals had detailed heads with faces, the Eggbots have featureless round faces with visors.  This retool was likely necessitated by damage to the long-unused mold.

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.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Eggbot was a sleeper agent of Unicron, inserted into Maximal 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 Star Dust. Ask Vector Prime
