For other uses of "Commando", see Commando (Disambiguation).
The Golden Commando was initially released as an April Fools joke during 2018. It displayed sarcastic and outrageous statistics, and attempting to purchasing the tower would result in an error message stating "lolol".
During September of 2018, the Golden Commando became a functional exclusive tower given to a special group of users, and later that November, it was awarded as a grand prize for winning tournaments in the Tower Battles Community Discord server prior to August of 2019.
As of the 10th of August 2019, the Golden Commando requires 250 to unlock and purchasable for
8,500, making this the most expensive tower to unlock in Tower Battles, along with a placement cost of $4,690.
Overview
Similarly to the Commando, the Golden Commando is a fast firing tower that deals 2 damage every 0.1 seconds, totaling up to 20 damage per second at level 1. The Golden Commando has a very far range of 25 studs and damage increases drastically from levels 4 and 5. Due to its high placement cost, the Golden Commando is better suited for mid to late-game defense. This tower can only be placed on ground, playing a unique high pitched screech sound when placed, and has a restricted placement limit of six. It also has a total cost of $117,290, making this the most expensive tower to fully upgrade.

Trivia
