Rubber Ducky


 * The Rubber Ducky is a non-transforming Predacon ally from the Beast Wars continuity family.



Megatron is awfully fond of the Rubber Ducky; it is one of his closest allies and associates. Though it seems to lack any combat capabilities, Megatron often confers with it on unknown but presumably important matters, something he does not even do with Scorponok and Inferno.

It is cute and yellow and chubby.

Beast Wars


The Rubber Ducky was seen among Megatron's hoard of personal possessions, such as Starscream's head and a model airplane, guarding them perhaps. It was unable to stop Blackarachnia from ransacking the cabinets, however; all it could do was squeak in protest as she cast it aside.

When Rampage discovered that Megatron had used half of his Spark to give life to Dinobot II, he threatened to rip it from the new Predacon's chest, only to find that Dinobot II wasn't about to let that happen. The Rubber Ducky observed all this in silence from the comfort of Megatron's CR tank hot tub, apparently content that the Predacon commander had the situation under control.

Later, the Rubber Ducky was apparently changed into a Transmetalized state, perhaps as a result of Megatron's experiments with the technology. When Megatron decided to attack the Maximal base to disrupt an attempt to reprogram Blackarachnia, the Rubber Ducky emphasized the scheme with a resounding squeak.

Shortly after, the Precadons evacuated their base, seconds before Tigerhawk's arrival obliterated it. Perhaps hindered by its lack of a means of locomotion, the Rubber Ducky was not seen escaping with them, and likely became a casualty of the Beast Wars.

Toys
Hasbro has announced no plans to produce this character in toy form. Perhaps some day, however, the Rubber Ducky might appear rendered in plastic or some other similar, soft, malleable material suitable for play and bathtime.

According to Glen Hallit, one of the proposed exclusives for the 2005 convention should 3H kept the license would have been Robots in Disguise Megatron retooled as Beast Wars Megatron, with a Rubber Ducky accessory. This would have been awesome.
