By far one of the most insane members of the Decepticon army and the craziest Stunticon, Wildrider relies on being crazy to out-fox his enemies. When the war was done, he is naturally sent to prison along side Motormaster as he is too dangerous to be admitted back in society, but several decades of therapy has left him able to rejoin society, with a warning to not fall back on his old ways. [[spoiler:He plays a major role in Chapter 3 as one of the first to find Counterpunch’s body and tampering with the body by moving it to a different crime scene.]]
