Dark Eggbot
- 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.

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, 29/9/2015
