Timelines

The Cybertron Chainsaw Massacre

• The Stunti-Con-Job (BotCon 2011 box set)
  • Accessories: Chainsaw attachment, engine block/phlogiston-reactor flamethrower

A retool of Deluxe Class Animated Lockdown, Wildrider transforms into an amalgam of a 1980s Corvette and a 1960s Cougar, with lots of spikes and a cow-catcher on his bumper. He looks freaking terrifying. In car mode, pressing down on his engine block/phlogiston-reactor flamethrower flips out twin cannon barrels. A removable chainsaw accessory attaches to the center of his bumper, but unlike the hook on the original Lockdown figure, cannot flip back out of sight. As with Lockdown, his engine block can be placed on the arm of any 'bot with the 256-OZU-004 body-type.

He is only available as part of the BotCon 2011 box set, which also includes The Motor Master, Drag Strip, Breakdown, and Dead End.

Notes

• Wildrider was the fourth character to be revealed for the BotCon 2011 set. He was intended to be revealed in full on February 17, 2011, but BotCon revealed in advance that he would be Lockdown with a new head on the Tuesday prior. The use of the Blazing Lockdown version of the mold was hinted at the morning before the reveal via the Twitter feed's preference for wings.
• Wildrider's upper arms are swapped compared to the various Lockdown releases.
• In the original plan for the set, Breakdown was to use the Lockdown mold, and Wildrider was to use Rodimus Minor's. It was Derrick J. Wyatt's suggestion to switch them.
• So, he is a director who likes explosions. That sounds strangely familiar somehow.
