The Golden Disk contains the accumulated wisdom of past Primes.

Fiction

Dreamwave comics

Gravitas presented Optimus Prime with the Golden Disk shortly after he became Prime. Prime, rather than immediately load the information, held onto the disk. After Iacon's destruction, Prime mounted the Promontory in its suburbs then threw the disk into orbit (or possibly out into space), reasoning that it was better to stumble and find his own way than to perpetuate the legacy that brought them to this point.

Notes

• The existence of this disk indicates that the Matrix of Leadership in the Dreamwave version of G1 continuity does not contain the wisdom of past Primes.
• This Golden Disk appears to be exactly what it says it is, with no deep dark secrets. That's a first.
