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

Unlike his fellow Egg Beasts, Dark Eggbot does not 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. Like his fellow Egg Beasts, he is among the oldest operational Predacons.


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 plastic except for a handful of chromed and die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his robot-mode back.
This mold was also used to make Eggbot and Stardust.


Triva/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 were added for their Beast Wars release, and were retained for the molds' use in Kiss Players.
