Yellow Giraffe (イエロージラフ Ierōjirafu) is a military intelligence combatant in White Leo's army. He is the oldest combatant in the war instigated by Alligatron, and his mind is an encyclopedic repository of knowledge. Despite his age, his strength is still enormous. Yet he's a gentle giant, and often listens to the concerns of Rabbit Kid and Hedgehog. He holds the rank of King of Gun Marino, a country that takes its name from the Gun Marino Plateau where he was born, over Emperor Golder.

The Yellow Giraffe were a species of Beastformer that joined White Leo's rebel forces against the Decepticons and their allies, the evil Beastformers led by Alligatron. One Yellow Giraffe joined in an attack on the Decepticon stronghold, and was attacked by a Snakebomb who leapt out of the nearby water. He was saved by a Golder. Eventually the barrage of firepower from the evil Beastformers became too much and the rebels were forced into retreat.
Thankfully for the rebels, the Autobot Transformers came to aid their efforts, and a few Yellow Giraffe were present to welcome them. One Yellow Giraffe joined White Leo's forces to rescue the Beastformers kept by the Decepticons as slaves. Regardless, they were already rescued and joined with White Leo's forces, just in time to see the Decepticon Transformers in retreat. Rebellion on Planet Beast
