Microchange: MC-16 Metal Hawk (Diaclone Eggbird)

This figure transforms from a hawk into a metallic ball. It came with two guns that could either be wielded in hawk mode or attached to the sides in ball mode and a circular base upon which the ball mode could sit.

Two versions were available, the more common gold chrome with black plastic accessories or the considerably rarer silver chrome with red plastic accessories. This mold (minus accessories) didn’t see release in Transformers until Beast Wars Eggbird and Dark Eggbird where it was retooled to include a keychain. This keychain retool was later (again without accessories) used for Kiss Players Zangetsu.

Released in 1984 by Takara under the Microchange line this was the precursor to Eggbird/Dark Eggbird in the Beast Wars toy line. This is the gold version of this figure, and comes complete with both weapons, stand, paperwork, and box. The box does show signs of wear from age/storage but will still display rather well. This is one of the more obscure “Diaclone” figures and would definitely be a real eye-catcher in anyone’s collection. Don’t miss your chance to own this gem at a great price.
