Eggbird is a Maximal Egg Beast from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Eggbird is the airborne Maximal Egg Beast, able to transform from a hawk mode into, uh, a ball. Like his fellow Egg Beasts, he is among the oldest of the Maximals. His small stature belies his bravery and experience in aerial combat.

Toys

Beast Wars

  • Eggbird (Egg Beast, 1998)
Japanese ID number: EC-2
Eggbird transforms from a mechanical sphere (ostensibly an "egg" mode) into a robotic hawk. 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 Dark Eggbird and Zangetsu.

Trivia

  • 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.
