Wildrider (G1)
- Wildrider is a Decepticon and a Stunticon in the Generation 1 continuity family.
What Fireflight does for air travel Wildrider does for the roadways. The difference is that the Aerialbot honestly means no harm and this insanely wild-riding Stunticon most definitely does. Some of his Decepticon comrades suspect him of playing insane to enhance his street cred, but those who have come to know him the best realize that it's no act. Wildrider really is a certifiable nutcase and a very real danger to anything on the road with him. Even his fellow Stunticons are wary of driving anywhere near him.
An example of this attitude was the very first thing that he ever said after being imbued with his Spark from Vector Sigma: "I'm Wildrider...and I wanna bust somethin' up!" Megatron, laughing in delight, answered, "Well said!", but informed his new creation that he must wait until their return to Earth. Just as the Decepticons and their newly-brought-to-life Stunticons were about to be transported back to Earth, Wildrider asked, with angry anxiousness in his voice, "When do I get to bust something up?" Megatron responded most approvingly, "Soon...*very* soon!"
Wildrider combines with his fellow Stunticons to form Menasor.

At some point in Cybertron's recent history, the Stunticons were deemed psychotic and too dangerous to function in society, and as a result were placed into perpetual stasis lock inside of a prison facility. Later, in an attempt to create a diversion while he set his final plans in motion, Shockwave arranged for the release of the Stunticons. They formed into Menasor and ran amuck for awhile, until Ultra Magnus arrived and began insulting them. Unable to reconcile with this, the five Stunticons began to bicker with each other over whose fault it was that they were failing, temporarily stopping Menasor and allowing Ultra Magnus to ram the combiner in the chest, forcing him to separate into his component parts and disabling the Stunticons.
