Notes
[edit]
- As Wild Rider's toy had no insignias and in-package pictures never surfaced, it wasn't actually confirmed that he was a Decepticon until his packaging art showed up on the Indigo Studios website. Still, it was a pretty safe bet, as the name "Wildrider" has only ever been applied to Decepticons.
- Wild Rider's sculpted robot mode details appear to be based on the Classics Rodimus toy. This was presumably intentional!
