Imagine:you're fighting zombies with a nearly broken shovel because your sword broke and your wolf has been killed. You have coal, a furnace, 3 cobble, and a pumpkin. What do you do? Well, what if you could build some type of cobblestone golem? That would solve your problem.
Basic concept:
To put it simply, you would build a cobblestone golem. You would build it the same as an iron golem, but with cobble, and a furnace for the block beneath the pumpkin. (if you crouch while placing a block, you can place it on a furnace without opening the gui.) However, when it is summoned, it won't do anything; it just sits there motionless. Why? Well why don't you put something in the furnace?
When you give the golem coal, wood, a blaze rod, or a lava bucket, the golem springs into life and acts similarly to a dog; it will do your bidding. You hit a mob and the golem will attack it. However, when it runs out of fuel...
The golem will move around and serve you for a while, however when it runs out of fuel (it burns fuel at half the rate of a furnace), it will stop immediately and will regain motionless until it is refueled and will be unable to come to your aid. Unlike a wolf, it is also unable to teleport and can only walk 50% faster than a zombie.
Strength:
The Powered Golem may seem overpowered to some people, underpowered to others. In my opinion, it's health and attack strength are most important in deciding this though.
It's attack strength is equal to that of an iron sword, or about 3 hearts of damage. It will also deal knockback 2 or so. As for health, it has 20 hearts and can take damage when out of fuel. In this case, it will be unable to move away or defend itself; it's like a minecart that takes 30 or 40 punches to break.
Why this is not overpowered:
This is not overpowered because of what is required for it to do anything. Sure, it only takes a pumpkin, a bit of cobble, and some fuel to build, but it's not as powerful as an iron golem, and might use up a vein of coal in only maybe ten minutes; probably just long enough to fight off an annoying swarm of menacing zombies.
Sure this isn't much coal, but it can be annoying to lose this much coal often. It's not too costly though, seeing as it's as loyal as a dog, but is much stronger.
Why this isn't unnecessary:
This, in my opinion, is just as useful as a wolf or a golem, but makes for a nice mid point between the two, while also having a consequence. It's like a golem in the aspect that it can be summoned at any time, and has a good deal of health and attack strenght, however it won't just go off on it's own like one. Instead it acts more like a wolf, but isn't always at your side; some times it's trying to catch up, and some times it's out of fuel.

What do you think? Support or not? Any suggestions?
Alright, I just made it so that it uses a quarter as much fuel: fuel in the golem lasts twice as long as when in a furnace.
Now ya got my support.
Ooh. True dat. Maybe make it so you CAN.
Crouching while placing it will let you place it without opening the gui.
