- Waverider is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
A 'bot with two sides. On the one hand, Waverider is the peaceful sort, enjoying the freedom his alternate mode provides him under the waves, and the chance to explore the deep looking for lost treasure or sunken vessels. On the other hand, Waverider is a steadfast warrior and the fiercest of opponents in a fight. He is more than willing to go the extra mile that other Autobots might not, due to a lack of fighting instinct or general distaste for warfare. Waverider knows what he's fighting for, and recognizes the need to fight for it.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
A member of Fortress Maximus's crew aboard Steelhaven, Waverider volunteered for the synthoplasmic conversion process Optimus Prime had stolen from Scorponok, transforming him into an Autobot Pretender. With Optimus Prime coordinating the Pretenders' first battle with the Decepticons, Waverider and his teammates easily overwhelmed the opposing force.Pretender to the Throne!
Waverider demonstrated a knack for going above and beyond the call of duty. He was one of few Autobots who ever attempted to reach out to the distraught Dinobot commander Grimlock, though his "tough love" speech nearly got him skewered on the end of an energo-sword. Later, he charged head first into the fight with Unicron, concentrating all his firepower on the Planet-Eater until Unicron destroyed him with an optic blast.
