The multitude of Waruder marauder drones can be summed into four types, one of them being Storm Rider, which is assigned to the Crusher pilots. While each type has its own specialty, they all have the same goal: Swarm, consume, and bring consumed metals back to the Waruder apiary. The marauder drones are merely technorganic shells that serve as the host for their smaller pilots and lack intelligence of their own. But one still should not be caught unawares, as the venom from their stingers affects the organic and the technological alike, numbing nervous systems and causing paralysis.

The drones can wield their pilots in their weapon modes, but this risks disconnecting pilot from shell.

Toys

Timelines

• Waruder Marauders (BotCon 2015)
  • Accessories: stinger/gun

Storm Rider is a black, blue, gray and red redeco of the Generations Deluxe Class Waspinator sculpt. He retains the original toy's wing-beating gimmick.

Storm Rider was available in a four-pack at BotCon 2015 that included the three other Waruder mechs (Paralyzer, Parasite and Mudfighter) as well as the four Waruder troops (Buzzer, Ripper, Thrasher and Crusher). He can wield any of the four Waruder troops in their weapon modes, but is nominally associated with the Crusher toy.

Notes

• Storm Rider's color scheme is based on the Diaclone Warudaros toy. Like Storm Rider, it represents a mech used by the Waruder forces.
