The '''Golden Disk''' is an artifact from the planet [[Paradron]].
==Fiction==
===Dreamwave comics===
[[Image:Ancient Transformer Symbol.png|thumb|left|100px|The chamber in Paradron's core where the Golden Disk was found bore this symbol.]]
[[Countdown]] encountered a race very similar to Transformers on the planet Paradron that had almost been wiped out by [[Skystalker]].  Traveling to the planet's core, Countdown discovered the Golden Disk inside s chamber marked by a ''strange symbol'' <small>(at left.)</small>

Countdown discovered that the Golden Disk contained a wealth of information, some of it beamed directly from Cybertron, including information about the Transformers racial destiny as intergalactic peacekeepers, and future steps in species' evolution.  Skystalker is hot to aquire the Artifact, but countdown takes it with him.{{Storylink|Recipe For Hate|Recipe For Hate (backstory)}}
==Trivia==
* The art strongly implies that the [[Golden Disk (ancient)|Golden Disk]] [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] found in the [[Forbidden Zone|Forbidden Zones]] is connected to the one found on Paradron.  [[Don Figueroa]] drew the disk as the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] which was launched into space in 1977... but this series takes place 3.5 million years before that artifact's creation.  Regular series artist [[Rob Ruffolo]] did not use that likeness, though his cave-scratchings do not rule it out either.
* Countdown claimed he had pursued Skystalker all the way to Paradron's core, but the art shows Skystalker surreptitiously tailing Countdown and [[Groundshaker]].  Given that Countdown conceals the Disk's existence from [[Foretrss Maximus (G1)|Fortress Maximus]] and [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] in his retelling, it was probably something else that led him to Paradron's core.
