Wildrider

Wildrider is a Decepticon Stunticon — one of five renegade Transformers who combine to form the gestalt warrior Menasor. A savage, erratic driver in vehicle mode, Wildrider relishes chaos on the road and serves as one of the most unpredictable members of the Decepticon ranks.

Wildrider roared onto the scene in 1986's The Transformers #22, a creation of the legendary Bob Budiansky and Don Perlin during comics' Copper Age — right in the thick of the Transformers phenomenon that had fans everywhere gripped. Sharing pages with titans like Optimus Prime, Soundwave, and Ratchet, this character has kept genuinely iconic company across a catalog that stretches a remarkable 39 years from Marvel's original run all the way through to 2025. Wildrider may not rack up hundreds of appearances, but for devoted Transformers collectors, tracking down those key issues — including the Transformers Compendium — is exactly the kind of deep-cut hunt that makes this hobby so rewarding.
