White Cow
- White Cow is a Beastformer from the Beastformers portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
White Cow (ホワイトカウ Howaitokau), nickname Whites (ホワイツ Howaitsu), is one of the Autobot Beastformers fighting a war on the planet Beast. He holds the rank of King of Uruk, the country on whose prairie he was born, over his friend Emperor Dream Eater. Having grown up in Uruk's large, peaceful farming community, his heart is big and warm and he cares greatly for all living things, down to insects and plants. He can deduce much about an area or situation by examining changes in the flora and fauna. White Cow's role in the Autobot Beastformer forces is "Resource Development Unit", which sounds very corporate, and he wields the MVP Weapon Bread & Butter, which can transform even the toughest materials into butter. Really!

- Part of the third series of Takara's Beastformers toys, White Cow is, well, an anthropomorphic white cow in dark blue/purple robotic armor. Though his "fur" is entirely white, it also has sculpted lines in patches and spot shapes, indicating areas that might have been originally meant to be painted black, making him most likely a standard-issue Holstein. The rubsign on his chest reveals one of three symbols; Fire, Water or Wood.
- He came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box, with a bio card with a line-art character image first used in Hasbro's Battle Beasts cast poster (rather than the painted images of the prior two series). Depending on the "Pack" he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.
Beastformers
- White Cow (Beastformer, 1988)
- Beast ID number: 68
- Accessories: "Bread & Butter" MVP Weapon
- Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, White Cow was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card with corrected coloring. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Bread & Butter" (ブレッド&バター Bureddo & Batā).
- The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if White Cow was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)
