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 comes with two swords which can stow underneath the vehicle or attach under the front bumper to create an attack mode. In robot mode, Wildrider can either hold the swords via 5mm posts, mount them onto 5mm peg-holes on his shoulders, or they can be inserted into slots near his wings. He features extra 5mm posts on his spoiler, and comes with his Arms Micron partner, Ozu, who transforms from a robotic mammoth into a grenade launcher.

This mold was differently retooled into Prime Dead End and Timelines Chromedome.

Notes

Rear wheels sold seperately.

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