Wildrider (Prime)

The name or term "Wildrider" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Wildrider (disambiguation).

Wildrider is a Decepticon from the Prime portion of the Aligned continuity family.

A member of the Stunticons, Wildrider is... not a very nice person. He prefers to wreak havoc on his own, and his overly violent and uncooperative nature has given even Megatron difficulty in commanding him.

He also loathes that Wheeljack fellow and wants to settle old scores with him, which is why Wildrider took a vehicle mode of similar model to that of the Wrecker.

Toys

Prime

• Stunt Wildrider (Deluxe, 01-26-2013)
  • Japanese ID number: AM-32
  • Accessories: Two swords, Arms Micron "Ozu"

Part of the tenth wave of TakaraTomy Prime toys, "Stunt Wildrider" is a redeco and retool of Prime: Robots in Disguise Deluxe Class Wheeljack, and transforms into a modified 2011 Lancia New Stratos Concept. He sports a new head based on Generation 1 Wildrider, and as a TakaraTomy release, much of his color detail is provided by customer-applied stickers rather than paint operations. He features extra 5mm posts and holes on his spoiler and hood/legs for use with Arms Microns, and Wildrider comes with the Arms Micron partner, Ozu, who transforms from a robotic elephant into a gun for him to wield.

This mold was differently retooled into Dead End.

Notes

• The Arms Micron Wildrider toy included, as do all AM toys, a number of optional decals to "finish" the figure. Among the decals for Wildrider was a unique Stunticon logo, partly deived from the Stunticon symbol developed for BotCon 2011's "The Stunti-Con Job" comic and box set.
