History YMMV / RoboRiders

* CommonKnowledge: A version of the storyline widely circulated online claims that a mysterious BigBad unleashed the monster virus, and the Web's inhabitants protected themselves by building wheel-shaped armor for themselves and becoming the front wheels and drivers of the [=RoboRiders=]. This seemingly originates from [[http://web.archive.org/web/20121004142758/http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=170732 a RoboRiders topic]] on Website/BZPower in 2005, with two users describing the storyline from memory without citing any sources. However, none of this is supported by any known printed publications or online media. The story does mention that nobody knows where the monster virus came from, but this does not seem to be building up to a big villain reveal unlike the purported version; therefore, assumptions that the story has [[NoEnding an unresolved cliffhanger]] might be overselling a very simple ExcusePlot. While the Talisman Wheels do depict a wide variety of characters, their role in the storyline is unknown since the Talisman Wheels are merely described as AbnormalAmmo for the [=RoboRiders=], which are actually their own drivers due to being {{cyborg}}s with human brains. To a lesser extent, while it was found on the official ''[=RoboRiders=]'' website and in UK catalogs, it is unclear whether the virus plot is the central overarching plot of the entire toyline or if it is just a one-off story for the web content (note that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vga_J1copQI&t=3631s preliminary storyline]] makes no mention of the virus at all and just describes the [=RoboRiders=] competing in dangerous obstacle courses, which is more in line with most of the theme's marketing); therefore, [=RoboRiders=] such as The Boss who aren't involved in the online story may not be associated with the virus plotline at all.

** Also, people assume the [=RoboRiders=] are meant to be aliens or, at least, nonhuman. [[AllInTheManual Several sources]] explicitly say they are human brains in the bikes.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: With very little storyline material to work off of, fan interpretations of the Boss range from him being the BigGood to the BigBad. Either he's the heroic leader of the [=RoboRiders=] fighting to save the Web from the monster virus, or else he's the FinalBoss responsible for unleashing the virus upon the Web.

** Also, the virus is clearly meant to be a ''computer'' virus not a biological virus.
