The Roidmude (ロイミュード), also called the Mechanical Life Form (機械生命体) by the public, are the antagonists of Kamen Rider Drive. They are a race of 108 artificial life forms created by Dr. Tenjuro Banno as unique androids that were capable of 'evolving' to become more like humans. However, when their development had hit a wall, Banno asked his friend Krim Steinbelt for help. Steinbelt gave them the prototype Core Driviars to continue their evolution, until Banno's dark secret on using a lethal experiment for his creation was find out by Krim, causing the two inventors' partnerships broke apart, leading Banno planned to steal one of Krim's equipment, such as the mind transfer device without Krim knowing, in order to further his sinister plan and to finalize his creations. Unfortunately because of Banno's cause on awakened Roidmudes as a finalized sentient, it caused them to start their plot to destroy the world, evolving by synchronizing with human emotions and stealing the best physical attributes of human beings.

Overview
The Roidmudes are capable of slowing down time itself to a crawl known as the Heavy Acceleration phenomenon, which slows down everything in it except for Roidmudes and Kamen Rider Drive and his equipment. They are covered by a membrane similar to the human cerebral cortex that allows them to disguise themselves, as well as camouflaging the particles emitted from the Heavy Acceleration phenomenon that the Roidmudes are so fond of exploiting.

They are given numbers to distinguish themselves from each other (and are pronounced individually; i.e., 029 is Zero-Two-Nine), to which literally ties into their life, functioning like souls. If these numbers, called Cores by the Drive Driver, are destroyed, the Roidmude is dead permanently, but so long as the Core is still around, a Roidmude can respawn after some rest and are given a Viral Core for a new body.

Among the 108, there are three types of Low-Class Roidmudes: Cobra types, Spider types, and Bat types. There is also a fourth Human type, which Proto-Zero and Cyberoid ZZZ adhere to. Like the Inves, Low-Class Roidmudes evolve using dark versions of the Shift Cars called Viral Cores, which evolve the specific type of Low-Class Roidmude tied to that Viral Core into a Advanced Roidmude. If a Roidmude uses more than one Viral Cores at one time (three for Low-Class, and two for Advanced), they will change into a bigger and more powerful form based on their animal motifs known as a Giant Roidmude, but at the cost of their intelligence.

Medic herself had her own set of remodeled Roidmudes called Reaper Legion whose mission is to eliminate unruly and/or rogue Roidmudes. This division was made after Mashin Chaser was decommissioned due to Medic's brainwashing altering his base program to defend the Roidmudes. These Roidmudes are given enhanced combat capabilities in addition to cockroach-like attributes. Their operation was made in secrecy from the knowledge of other superior Roidmudes.

Another way of evolving into an Advanced form without the Viral Cores is by forming a pact with a human. By granting the host's desires, the Roidmudes can undergo a unique evolution. However, the Roidmudes' evolved form is much more unstable, often times losing their evolved forms for a brief period of time, so they must keep fulfilling the host's desires. After their transformation is stable enough however, the Roidmudes won't hold back to kill their host.

Later, a new model of the Viral Cores called Neo Viral Core was introduced, which allowed a Roidmude to evolve by synchronizing and fusing with humans that have darker hearts. Once the fusion initiated, the Roidmude would act as the human's advisor, speaking through their chest once their number is visible. These Neo Viral Cores were created and developed by Roidmude 001.

If a Roidmude's certain emotion intensifies and exceeds the limit, the Roidmude can evolve into a gold-colored ultimate state known as the Super Evolution State.

Their ultimate goal is to find the Promised Number, a gathering of four Roidmudes achieving Super Evolution, and exterminate (or rule) all humans to take over the world.

However, while there were supposedly 108 Roidmudes in existence, there are others that were not part of the 108 counts. So far, only two had been identified: Cyberoid ZZZ, Krim's supposed container that abandoned after the need of stronger will and Proto-Zero (000), whose history is yet to be revealed other than the fact that he was Protodrive, later the 108 Roidmudes' protectors, Mashin Chaser. The combined ZZZ Megahex also created a force of numberless Mecha Roidmudes using data of the Low-Class Roidmudes. After Krim reveals himself as the true villain, he used the data of past fights that made by Drive and reconstitute a Roidmude body for him to house into. Apparently revealed not only had his A.I. corrupted by Banno's evil chip, which was meant for Roidmudes, Paradox Roidmude also had been disguising as Krim to enact his evil plan, such as to create an infinite Global Freeze forever.

According to Heart, Roidmudes are originally meant to be created for world peace, such having a human emotions like 072 was for example. However, Banno's madness has made things worst on these lists:
 * The research that Banno invented appears to be lethal, which may led the project's rejection from the entrepreneur whom Heart was forced to mimic and turned into a dummy puppet, and had his partnership with Krim ended badly.
 * After Krim departs from Banno's insanity world, Banno created a "special" chip, fill with negative human emotion onto most of the other Roidmudes, to make the Roidmudes evil. Not only that, he had stole one of Krim's devices like a mind transferring device, before he let his creation killed his body, uploading his mind and becoming a living virus program.

History
The Roidmudes were originally conceptualized by Dr. Banno. The Doctor asked for help from his partner, Krim Steinbert, to build the Core Driviars for the Roidmudes. Against his better senses, Krim agreed, but unfortunately he was right to be wary. The Roidmudes killed both Banno and Krim, and unleashed the Global Freeze upon the world. The Roidmudes would've taken over the world already, if not for the mysterious warrior known as Protodrive, who worked with Krim (whose consciousness was transferred into a belt) to stop the Roidmudes. Protodrive seemed to have lost his life fighting the Roidmudes, but Krim survived to refine the equipment that would later become his successor, Drive's. Protodrive was later drafted and refitted to become Mashin Chaser.

The Roidmudes continued to spread havoc throughout the world. By December, however, international activity started decreasing as the executives made their way for Tokyo. While Kamen Riders Drive, Mach and Protodrive/Chaser were created to combat these threats, however some like 001 had infiltrated the national defense system, using it to keep an eye on the police forces to destroy them from the inside as well as removing the Kamen Rider threats.

In the 2035, it was revealed that Krim, the original creator of Drive System and the leading resistant of human forces against the waves of Roidmudes is the true villain, where he as well had planned an invasion plan long ago, using Drive only to further his agenda and becomes the new Roidmude king, leading a new species of code-less Roidmudes by taking over the original one's domination plans. Apparently, it turns out back in the present day how Krim's A.I. has been corrupted in the future, was because of the "special" chip Banno implanted on Krim, during his kidnapping on Krim and had all of the Drive system datas copied, before transferring himself to his own black colored Drive Driver, Evil Drive Driver.
