===Generation 1 cartoon continuity===
====''The Headmasters'' cartoon====

When the [[Decepticon]]s invaded and took over the planet, White Leo headed a group of rebel Beastformers, though they didn't have much luck in rescuing a number of their fellows whom the Decepticons had enslaved in an underground factory. White Leo and his lieutenants were trying to decide what to do next when the Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s arrived. The newcomers teamed up with White Leo's rebels and went to check out the Decepticon base. White Leo knew of an entrance beneath the [[piragilon]] swamp, and [[Fortress Maximus (G1)|Fortress]] instructed him to use it while the Autobots took care of the Decepticons.

White Leo contacted [[Platinum Tiger]] who knew the way, but told him it would be impossible as the swamp was infested with metal-eating piragilons. White Leo was stymied until Fortress used Battleship Maximus to drain the water from the swamp, leaving the piragilons helpless. White Leo was then able to lead his team into the cave under the swamp, and with Platinum Tiger's help, head towards the Decepticon factory. They encountered [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]], [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and the escaping prisoners partway through the tunnel, and led them back out into the open air. The victorious Autobots provided White Leo with the services of the [[Monsterbot]]s, should the Decepticons return. {{storylink|Rebellion on Planet Beast}} Which probably worked.

====''The Headmasters'' comic====
In White Leo's absence, the Decepticons attacked Beast with [[Alligatron]]'s forces again, this time also using [[Predaking]] and a horde of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]]. When the Decepticon forces held [[Brainstorm]] and [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] hostage, Alligatron hoped to use them to lure White Leo into their clutches. White Leo soon arrived with a contingent of Autobot Beastformers to aid the Autobot Transformers, and they were all successful at driving the Decepticon invaders off the planet once again. White Leo thanked the Autobots for their help at making Beast a peaceful planet. {{storylink|Great Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!}}

==Toys==
===Beastformers===
*'''White Leo''' (Beastformer, 1987)
**''Beast ID number'': '''1'''
**''Accessories'': "White Beamer" sword

: White Leo is an anthropomorphic white lion with blue robotic armor. He came with his "White Beamer" sword. His [[rubsign]] reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood. After the move to non-''Transformers''-style packaging, each White Leo might also have the "Burst Sun" symbol, but the odds were pretty low.

*'''White Leo white version''' (Beastformer, 1987)
**''Accessories'': Some weapon

: A solid-white version of White Leo was sold through gumball machines in Japan. The gumball versions of the Beastformers appeared to have randomized weapons (or just crummy QC).

*'''Burst Sun Special Set''' (Multi-pack, 1987)
**''Accessories'': "White Beamer" sword

: The first Beastformers multipack (still using the ''Transformers'' logo and factions) contained nine normal figures, then one of two special editions of the faction leaders, either White Leo with the "Burst Sun" rubsign, or a clear-plastic version of [[Alligatron]]. The box contained no windows, so you didn't know which of the leaders you got until you opened it up.

: The other nine standard Beastformers in the set were [[Black Jaguar]], [[Būpink]], [[Crowmax]], [[Dog Hunter]], [[Dreameater]], [[Earthhog]], [[Mingo Kid]], [[Muskhorn]], and [[Slo]].
