Among the Waruder troops are the Ripper pilots, who control the venomous Parasite marauder drones. As the drones are bereft of any intelligence whatsoever, it lies to the Rippers to utilize the Parasites in pursuit of the Warauder hive's goal: Consumption of everything.

Rippers can convert between two modes similar to their host shells', and, in times of distress, change into weapon modes that the shells can wield. However, this isn't without its own risk—any case of butterfingers will cause the Ripper's control over their Parasite to instantly cease.

Notes

• Ripper is based on the Waruder pilots that were sold with various sets in the Diaclone line. The blue-limbed one was specifically called "Arick" (アリック), but it is unclear if he was Ripper's specific inspiration.
• Like all the non-individual Waruder pilots, the Rippers are named after one of the Dreadnoks from G.I. Joe.
