- Rippers are Waruder troops from the Diaclone continuity family.

This character or person needs some sort of visual representation. If you have one, please replace this.
Among the Waruder troops are the Ripper pilots, who control the venomous Parasite marauder drones. As the drones are bereft of any intelligence whatsoever, it lies to the Rippers to utilize the Parasites in pursuit of the Warauder hive's goal: Consumption of everything.
Rippers can convert between two modes similar to their host shells', and, in times of distress, change into weapon modes that the shells can wield. However, this isn't without its own risk—any case of butterfingers will cause the Ripper's control over their Parasite to instantly cease.
Fiction
TransTech
Due to quantum instability, a number of Waruder troops were transported to Axiom Nexus's distant past when they migrated over to its universe. They formed a hive, and spent the next 20, 000 years undisturbed, evolving and building an elaborate hive deep underground. Ripper-type soldiers helped the hive expand and feed, and defended it against intruders. When C-81 and his band of wanted criminals stumbled across the Waruder hive while on the run from the law, several Ripper soldiers deployed their Parasite mechs in response to another Waruder's distress signal. Cybertron's most wanted found themselves fleeing from the Waruders as more and more reinforcements came flooding in. Even as more intruders came about, the Waruders were on the verge of victory when C-81 managed to grab hold of their leader, and forced him to negotiate. The Waruders later migrated off-Cybertron peacefully via an interuniversal gate. On the other side, they would find a deserted Cybertron where they could feed to their hearts' content undisturbed.
