Dark Eggbot

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

Note: On his packaging, Dark Eggbot is incorrectly depicted as being capable of pooping kana.

Despite belonging to the group of Cybertronians called the "Egg Beasts", Dark Eggbot (ダークエッグボット Dāku Eggubotto) does not actually possess a beast mode. He does, however, have a fiendishly complex and calculating processing center which he uses to devise evil plots and nefarious acts of espionage against the Maximals. How his transformation into a ball helps him carry them out is unknown, but if it's good enough for Samus Aran...

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

Ask Vector Prime

Dark Eggbot 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 Star Dust. Ask Vector Prime

• Dark Eggbot (Egg Beast, 1998)
  • Japanese ID number: ED-3

A retool of Micro Change Metal Man, Dark Eggbot features a new face and a keychain. Dark Eggbot transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robot. He is cast in black translucent plastic except for a handful of silver die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his robot mode back.

This mold was also used to make Eggbot and Kiss Players Star Dust.
