| The name or term "Wildrider" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wildrider (disambiguation). |
- Wild Rider is a Decepticon, and sometimes an Autobot, from the live-action film series continuity family (via the Speed Stars line).
Wild Rider (aka Wildrider) is a sports car. Whether he is a director who like explosions or even a missile-shooting hooligan remains to be seen.
Fiction
Ask Vector Prime
In Tyran 511.0 Kappa, Wild Rider managed to successfully elude Cemetery Wind. Once Optimus Prime put out a call to remaining Autobots to gather, he and Axel answered out of desperation. Though the Autobots remained skeptical of their true intentions, they learned to appreciate Wild Rider, who in turned remained loyal to the Autobot cause even after Galvatron revealed himself and went on a rampage. Axel, however, betrayed the team to Lockdown. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/16
Bumblebee Movie Prequel
One of a number of Decepticon operatives who was active on Earth during the Cold War, Wildrider was part of the Decepticon cell overseen by Malignus. Energon Is Forever In 1964, he was deployed to East Berlin along with Malignus's allies in E.I.D.O.L.O.N.; when David Reeve broke into their headquarters and discovered that Malignus had already disposed of E.I.D.O.L.O.N. ringleader, Konrad Gotell, he was intercepted and captured by Wildrider as he escaped from Gotell's exploding office. Before Wildrider could dispose of Reeve, he was tackled by Reeve's ally Bumblebee, who threw him through the Berlin Wall and knocked him unconscious with a chunk of rubble.

Notes
- 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!
