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).
"Tell me, are you crunchy and tasty with mustard?"

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

Wildrider was one of the many Cybertronians who made their way to Earth, arriving alongside his fellow Decepticons Diabla and Runabout. The trio fell in with Konrad Gotell's E.I.D.O.L.O.N. crime syndicate, and in 1964, they became aware that a different group of Decepticons had been manipulating both E.I.D.O.L.O.N. and the British intelligence agency known as P.R.O.G.R.A.M.M.E., led by the diminutive Malignus and her commander Blitzwing. Energon Is Forever From Cybertron with Love Wild Rider was deployed to East Berlin along with E.I.D.O.L.O.N.; when David Reeve broke into their headquarters and discovered that Malignus had already disposed of 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 killed him with a chunk of rubble. The Man with the Golden Car

Toys

Speed Stars

  • Wild Rider (Mini Vehicle, 2011?)
    • Series: Double Siders Series
    • Number:
Wild Rider is a small, non-transforming, die-cast sports car with his robot mode sculpted underneath. He has huge wheels to allow the toy to roll upside down, and they use through-axle construction that lets the toy zip around at high speeds on smooth surfaces.

End of the road.
This Robot Powered Machines/Speed Stars item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Notes

Actually is a sports car, mistaken by the Decepticons for a very shy and lazy Speed Star. This happens more than they'd like to admit.
  • 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!
