Chefatron on YouTube brings us a third set of images of a new Legacy Wave 2 figure. This time we can share for you an in-hand gallery of Transformers Legacy Deluxe Wildrider.

This is the second Legacy Stunticon released and he’s a completely new mold with a great G1-cartoon accurate design in both modes. While Wildrider has got a quite a big backpack kibble, robot mode looks clean and poseable with a solid alt mode which really captures his animation design. To top it all, we also have a look a the combiner mode to be attached to Menasor’s leg frame. The images also show Wildrider next to Legacy Dragstrip and Combiner Wars Wildrider.

See all the images attached to this news post and the sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
