| ~ Ride Boarski threatens to attack. |
Ride Boarski, originally known as Hellride Inobuski, is a minor antagonist in Mega Man X7. He is a member of the Red Alert Syndicate. Following his transformation into a Maverick thanks to The Professor, Hellride kidnapped a group of Reploids and planned to blow them all up in a city's driving circuit by tying each of them to time bombs, doing this alongside his old motorcycle gang. His weapon is the Moving Wheel, which X can get from Hellride by defeating him. Snipe Ariquick is weak to the Moving Wheel. Hellride himself is weak to the Circle Flames, which can potentially detonate his fuel supply or ruin his bike's tires.
Hellride Inobuski is voiced by Tesshō Genda in the Japanese version and by Ryan Drees in the English version.
Character Description[]
Personality[]
Ride Boarski is a motorcycle gang leader and takes pride in his team. Ride hates being called insults, and most of all hates it when others treat his gang like a criminal organization. As a Maverick, he's ruthless and destructive and even wrathful against those who opposes him.
Physical Appearance[]
Hellride Inobuski resembles a boar. He wears a red and white suit of armour. His snout contains vents that resemble those on a vehicle. On his head is a green mowhawk that gives him a punkish vibe, despite his hatred of being treated like a punk. His tusks have vents. His shoulders have handlebar-esque projections and wheels can be seen on his limbs.
His Weapons[]
Hellride Inobuski uses Moving Wheels for his main weapon. Moving Wheels manifest as spiked wheels that roll forwards. Moving Wheels will bowl over and hurt foes that get in their way. They can also climb up walls.
Roll is unable to use this move. Her substitute for this is Slashing Light Ring, where she swipes the deceased Zero's Z-saber forwards. This creates an energy wheel that spins across the ground, acting like a makeshift Moving Wheel, but this energy wheel pierces enemies rather than going over them.
Biography[]
Ride Boarski was a motorcycle gang leader who also joined the Red Alert Syndicate. He would bounty hunt Mavericks alongside his team as they rode on the highways at night. At one point the Professor approached with a way to make them stronger. Although the syndicate agreed with the reprogramming, Boarski and his team members would go Maverick as a result. After going Maverick, Boarski went to Canada alongside his motorcycle gang and kidnapped many reploids. They then tied them up in time bombs at a driving circuit in attempt to kill them all. The Maverick Hunters pursued the incident and stopped the threat before defeating him in combat.
Battle[]
Hellride attacks with his moving wheels that curve in towards X's position, can grab and throw X and toss him into the electrical fence around the arena, summons three lasers that sweep around the stage, summons enemies that can throw grenades from outside the arena into the arena, and zips around on his bike, sometimes attempting to ram into X to damage him. He will destabilise if hit with the Circle Flame.
