Golden Disk (Paradron)


 * ''The Golden Disk is an artifact in the Dreamwave portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Golden Disk is an artifact from the planet Paradron.

Dreamwave comics
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 (at left.)

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.

Trivia

 * The art strongly implies that the Golden Disk Megatron found in the Forbidden Zones is connected to the one found on Paradron. Don Figueroa drew the disk as the 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 Fortress Maximus and Ultra Magnus in his retelling, it was probably something else that led him to Paradron's core.
