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.

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, 2015/09/29
Toys
Beast Wars
- Dark Eggbot (Egg Beast, 1998)
- Japanese ID number: ED-3
- Dark Eggbot transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robot. He is cast in translucent black plastic except for a handful of chromed and die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his robot mode back (well, you can remove it if you bend the metal attaching ring).
- The Egg Beasts were late (and low-run) additions to the Takara Beast Wars line, and as such demand a higher price tag than one would expect at first.
- This mold is a retooling of the Micro Change MC-14 toy. The original Micro Change toy was remolded as part of another Takara line named Mashin Hero Wataru giving him a new head and chest. This is the version used for this toy with an additional remold to give him a loop for his attached keychain.
- This mold was also used to make Eggbot and Kiss Players Star Dust.
