The 11th King of the Royal Lion Clan of Bistoram, White Leo (ใใฏใคใใฌใช Howaitoreo, aka Dauru and Daburu Leo) has risen time and again to fight for the freedom and peace of planet Beast and beyond. A natural leader, skilled in battle and tactics, he is also incredibly kind-hearted and affectionate, seeking to do right by all, and willing to sacrifice himself to stop evil. Along with the aid of his sister White Lune and subordinate Emperor Flykick, he is supported by numerous Kings and Emperors of other nations who look up to him, having joined his army during the Decepticon-backed insurgency that sent the then-Prince into hiding, and to this day readily defer leadership to him in times of crisis. It is not a position that White Leo takes for granted, and he does everything in his power to pay back the faith and support he has been given.
In combat, he has few equals. A beast gifted with incredible strength, speed and intelligence, he is a skilled swordfighter personally trained by the legendary warrior Platinum Tiger, perfectly balancing offence and defense. His MVP Weapon, the White Beamer (ใใฏใคใใใผใใผ Howaito Bฤซmฤ), is a blade capable of firing powerful beams of photon energy, as well as channeling his other powers. His mechanical augmentations have been further enhanced by Autobot science, even giving him control of the powerful "Burstsun" energy projected from his armor's Battle Emblem, an energy force capable of countering any of the three foundation elements of planet Beast; Fire, Water or Wood. He has learned the legendary technique known as "Creation of All Things", a psychic power passed down through the Royal Lion Clan for generations.
He is, in many respects, the Optimus Prime of planet Beast.

When the Decepticons invaded and took over the planet, White Leo headed a group of rebel Beastformers, though they didn't have much luck in rescuing a number of their fellows whom the Decepticons had enslaved in an underground factory. White Leo and his lieutenants were trying to decide what to do next when the Autobot Headmasters arrived. The newcomers teamed up with White Leo's rebels and went to check out the Decepticon base. White Leo knew of an entrance beneath the piragilon swamp, and Fortress instructed him to use it while the Autobots took care of the Decepticons.
White Leo contacted Platinum Tiger who knew the way, but told him it would be impossible as the swamp was infested with metal-eating piragilons. White Leo was stymied until Fortress used Battleship Maximus to drain the water from the swamp, leaving the piragilons helpless. White Leo was then able to lead his team into the cave under the swamp, and with Platinum Tiger's help, head towards the Decepticon factory. They encountered Wheelie, Daniel Witwicky and the escaping prisoners partway through the tunnel, and led them back out into the open air. The victorious Autobots provided White Leo with the services of the Monsterbots, should the Decepticons return. Rebellion on Planet Beast
In White Leo's absence, the Decepticons attacked Beast with Alligatron's forces again, this time also using Predaking and a horde of Sharkticons. When the Decepticon forces held Brainstorm and Highbrow hostage, Alligatron hoped to use them to lure White Leo into their clutches. White Leo soon arrived with a contingent of Autobot Beastformers to aid the Autobot Transformers, and they were all successful at driving the Decepticon invaders off the planet once again. White Leo thanked the Autobots for their help at making Beast a peaceful planet. The Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!
Thanks to Autobot technology, White Leo was reborn as a stronger warrior wielding Burstsun Power, allowing him to defeat the elements of fire, water, and wood. Using his Scanning Eye, Devilbat took a Secret Photo of White Leo exposing information about his new power, but dropped it in a forest.

White Leo was later ambushed by Alligatron in a bottomless swamp in the middle of the forest, but successfully bested his nemesis, killing him with Burstsun Power. However, Alligatron returned as a ghost and revived Cobrander, who continued the war against White Leo's forces. Burstsun catalog
In the aftermath of the Beastformers' war, freak weather patterns began wreaking havoc on Beast because of imbalance between the six elemental gems of the Three Wise Ones. Determined to fix this by recovering the lost gems, White Leo led Badshark, Bowdog, Bluehorse and Deaspider to Lake Sagan in Sunatoria, where the Water Gem of Stillness was believed to lie. The mission had several possible outcomes and the Beastformers may have either succeeded or been forced to retreat by a giant scorpion or the mysterious enemy Sur, who would battle them for the gem if they found it. The Water Gem of Stillness
The natural disasters led to the emergence of the Laser Beasts, a subterranean race with designs to take the surface of Beast for themselves. Though he was warned by Bombsheep that the Laser Beasts were targeting his nation, having conquered the rest of the continent, White Leo was reluctant to begin another war and opposed to Rabbit Kid's idea of using the Head Hunters to fight back. He attempted to negotiate peace with the Laser Beasts by waving a white flag, but they immediately opened fire and injured him, angering the Beastformer populace who rose up and declared war on the invaders. White Leo again acted as leader of the army in this new conflict. Beastformers VS Laser Beasts

White Leo ended the war with the Decepticon Beastformers by defeating Cobrander only for a new war to break out when the Laser Beasts invaded from the planet's underground. His forces were losing more and more territory to the invaders when several Autobots arrived to assist, only for the Laser Beasts merged with three of the Transformers to grow even more powerful. After recovering the six gems that held the power of the Three Wise Ones, White Leo was told by Platinum Tiger of the Legends World, a dimension of beasts that could be of help. LG51 Doublecross Prologue
Defeated by the Laser Beast Emperor Tigerburn, White Leo fled to the Legends World with his sister, White Lune, and the six gems. With the gems, he transformed Neo Akihabara City into a jungle and forcibly recruited its citizens as new "Beastformers". Unfortunately, his nemesis, Tigerburn, followed him to the Legends World, with the captive Doublecross in tow. White Lune came to the rescue, helping White Leo use the gems to merge White Leo with Doublecross's severed head, transforming him into a Headmaster, and merging White Lune with Tigerburn's Haywire Laser. After taking over Doublecross, White Leo was able to use him and the Haywire Laser to send Tigerburn blasting off. With their newly acquired powers, White Leo and White Lune returned to their world to continue the war against the Laser Beasts.

White Leo and Doublecross battled the Laser Beasts until the year 2023, when a large number of Transformers arrived on Beast and sided with the Beastformers. This allowed Leo the opportunity to grapple with Tigerburn and, through the power of the gems, sacrifice himself to crystallize both himself and the Laser Beast emperor. As he had hoped, the crystal statues of White Leo and Tigerburn in their final struggle became a symbol of unity that allowed the Beastformers and Laser Beasts to make peace.
