Egg Beast

The Egg Beasts are a subgroup from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Egg Beasts (エッグビースト Eggubīsuto) are Predacons and Maximals that transform into, uh, eggs. Their other modes vary, being a lion, bird, or robot. They are among the oldest Transformers in the Beast Wars.

The Egg Beasts include:

• Dark Eggbird
• Dark Eggbot
• Dark Eggleo
• Eggbird
• Eggbot
• Eggleo

Which ones are the Predacons seems obvious.

Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

The Egg Beasts were inserted into Maximal and Predacon society as sleeper agents by Unicron. Their alternate forms bore many similarities to Unicron's own structure. Unicron would reuse the same designs for the Sparkbots. The Dead End antibodies he employed also had overlapping hard-coded design schematics with the Egg Beasts. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/29

Notes

• The molds used for the Egg Beasts originated as toys from the pre-Transformers Takara Microchange line, where they were called "Meteor Robo". The keychains for the toys were added for their Beast Wars release, and were retained for the molds' use in Kiss Players.
