Explanation of the conversion:
History (Dreamwave comics): Wildrider was among the Cybertonians who joined Megatron in
his Decepticon army and started a civil war with the Autobots.
In an attempt to duplicate the success with Devastator in creating a gestalt warrior,
Wildrider and four other Decepticons were given the ability to merge into Menasor.
After the Great Shutdown ended, the Stunticons found themselves locked away in stasis pods until Shockwave needed a diversion, and arranged their reformatting into Earth cars and escape. The
Stunticons formed Menasor and defeated the Protectabots and Omnibots, but were eventually put down by Ultra Magnus.
Look out, motorists! The road hasn't been built yet that's big enough to handle Wildrider! Some of his fellow Stunticons
attribute his reckless behavior to be a calculated attempt by Wildrider to enhance the atmosphere of fear he tries to
create in his role as a terrorist, but those who know him better realize it's not an act - he really is that nuts! As
fellow Stunticon Breakdown puts it, "When he's driving, I'd rather take a plane."
Powers: Wildrider is very brave, can fly and transform into a car. Wildrider can reach 250 mph in car mode, and has
amazing maneuverability. In robot mode, he uses a scattershot gun, which can spray a fifty-square yard area with searing,
ripping laser beams at a distance of 1/4 mile. With it, he can demolish a small 5-story building in two minutes. He forms
the left leg when he combines with his fellow Stunticons Motormaster, Drag Strip, Dead End and Breakdown to form the giant robot Menasor.
Weaknesses: Wildrider fears quiet. He suspects enemies are lurking, ready to pounce on him, if all he hears are the
sounds he produces himself. This gets him very nervous and hampers his effectiveness. In car mode, he is prone to tire
blow-outs due to the crazy way he drives.
