Dark Eggbot

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

Note: On his packaging, Dark Eggbot is incorrectly depicted as being capable of pooping kana.

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.

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 black translucent plastic except for a handful of silver die-cast parts. He has a non-removable keychain attached to his robot-mode back.

This mold was also used to make Eggbot and Kiss Players Star Dust.

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.
