Golder
- Golder is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Golder[1] (ゴールダー Gōrudā) is a long-time friend of White Leo, having trained together when they were young. He grew up to become Emperor of Gunmarino, the country (one of 38 on planet Beast) that takes its name from Gunmarino Plateau, his birthplace. Apparently this made him deputy ruler under King Yellow Giraffe. When the Decepticon-backed uprising led by Alligatron overthrew White Leo's regime, Golder went into hiding with his forces, which he serves in as Staff Officer for land forces. He's occasionally reckless, but he's an expert melee fighter who gives his all to help repel the Decepticons from the Beastformers' planet. His powerful teeth can tear even steel or paper (no, really!).

The Golder were a species of Beastformer. Golder joined in Big Serow's attack on the Decepticon Beastformer stronghold, only to be shot down. He took the injury in stride, saving Yellow Giraffe from Snakebomb. He was shot down again, and the Beastformer force retreated. At the rebel Beastformer headquarters, Golder was in better shape than the other injured Beastformers and offered to be an envoy to bring more reinforcements, but White Leo denied his request, not wanting to risk more soldiers.
Several Golder were in the crowd cheering the Autobots' arrival. Soon, inside the headquarters, one Golder polished his weapon.
A Golder joined White Leo's force to rescue the Beastformers that the Decepticons had kidnapped to use as slaves. Their efforts were not necessary, as they were rescued by Wheelie, Daniel, and the Monsterbots. Nevertheless, White Leo's force joined up with the freed slaves and saw the retreat of the Decepticon Transformers. Golder, along with the other Autobot Beastformers, saw the Autobot Transformers off. Rebellion on Planet Beast
