G1 WILDRIDER

This figure is from 1886. He is a Decepticon and part of the Stunticon team. He first appeared in the cartoon in series two in "The key to Vector sigma part two" Megatron wanted some ground units because he realised that even though the Decepticons had air superiority. The Autobots were superior on the ground. He went to Megatron to change this, he stole some vehicles.and he converted them into the Stunticons. To bring them to life he went to Cybertron and stole the key to Vector sigma from Alfa trion and went down deep beneath Cybertron to Vetor sigma. On Earth the Stunticons completely defeated the Autobots in combat but it was an only of combinations of Omega supreme and Superion who manged to defeat Menasaur the combined form of the Stunticons.

FUNCTION; Terrorist

MOTTO; " Either you're out of my way or you're out of luck"

BIO; "Look out motorists- he exults in the accidents he causes! Drives recklessly, screaming and laughing. Some comrades think it's an act, others really know he's as nuts as he appears. fears quiet, prone to tire blow outs. In car mode goes up to 250mph with amazing manoeuvrability in robot mode, his scatter shot sun sprays laser beams over wide areas. Combines with fellow Stunticons to form Menasaur."

SPEC; Strength 6, Intelligence 6, Speed 7, Endurance 6, Rank 5, Courage 8, Firepower 7, Skill 6

Car mode side


Car mode front


car mode with cannons

His car is a very nice Ferrari. My figure is missing some stickers and the ones he does have are worn. He is old though.
He does have a sticker on his bonnet which is supposed to be carbon fibre which is a nice touch.
I don't really bother with the cannons in car mode as they do not add anything to the car.
For a G1 figure it is a simple transformation.
In robot mode his back pack made from front of car does not really do anything and it makes his back floppy.
His torso is chrome and an annoying problem which I found just now is when you push his arms down his back pack moves up as they are too tight together and are pushed together in his body. You have to hold on to the back pack when you are posing his arms.
He has attractive colour scheme.
If you are collecting Stunticons then he is worth having. I am trying to collect them all so I can make Menasaur.
