Santa Claus
From Transformers Wiki
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas, is a human with the ability to somehow travel all across the world in one night delivering presents to the good and fuel sources to the bad, though how is unknown. He wears a red, hooded coat, a red hat with a white pom-pon on top and has a large white beard.
He does this on Christmas, the birthday of God.
