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