History[]
Background[]
004 assumes Krim Steinbelt's form as he witnesses his murder.
Roidmude 004 was a Spider Type Roidmude that was specifically programmed by Tenjuro Banno to assist in his evil plans. After Banno's partnership with Krim Steinbelt ended awry, he was installed with an evil chip that contained negative aspects of a human being. When Freeze, Heart, and Brain attacked Krim Steinbelt's mansion, 004 was secretly present and copied his appearance upon his death. While Krim's memories were not accessible to 004 and were corrupted, the Roidmude retained Krim's intelligence. Roidmude 004 went off the grid following the Global Freeze, but reawakened sometime after Banno began to enact his macinations, making him his right-hand man.
Roidmude 004[]
Resurfacing from the shadows, Roidmude 004 snatched the Drive Driver from Shinnosuke Tomari following Banno's inevitable betrayal. Using Krim's intellectual prowess, 004 created another Drive Driver with extra functionality that allowed Banno's consciousness to reside in the belt and can turn into the Gold Drive. Roidmude 004 also added an evil onto the real Drive Driver intended to make Krim go haywire.
Roidmude 004 eventually made his presence offically known to Shinnosuke and Krim, with the latter angered by Banno for taking his research for his immoral purposes. He would continue to serve Gold Drive in the Promised Number ritual to power the Sigma Circular. While 004 fought against the Krim-operated Drive Type Tridoron, Gold Drive would eventually accomplish his goal of completing his device. Although he was critically damaged by Drive Type Tridoron, Roidmude 004 held on longer enough to self-destructs in attempt to kill all of the Kamen Riders when they were dazed by a whirlwind, but not before Deadheat Mach uses his power to pull everyone present away to a safe distance.
Post-mortem[]
The 108 Roidmudes' fragmented data would lead to the emergence of the amalgamation Roidmude 5886.
Other Events[]
Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future[]
While he isn't present during the events of Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future, Roidmude 004 plays a loose overarching role in the film's events. Although none understood how the Krim Steinbelt turned destructive in the first place, it was later revealed in the TV Series that 004 assisted with Banno of installing an evil chip into the Drive Driver intended to make Mr. Belt go haywire.
It is also revealed that through Krim Steinbelt's appearance, Roidmude 004 served as one of the Roidmude leaders in an alternate future, tarnishing the real Krim's repuation by claiming he created Kamen Rider Drive to perfectly reproduce his body in his video speech. In another one of Eiji Tomari's video records, 004 stood with Kamen Rider Dark Drive with an army of Future Roidmudes.[1]
Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Chaser[]
Following after the Angel Roidmude's defeat, Banno and Roidmude 004 watched the Kamen Riders from the beachside afar. Banno commented that the destructive chip that was left behind Mr. Belt had been replaced, concluding that Krim is currently occupying a new Drive Driver. In light of this, Banno decided to continue his search for a body elsewhere with 004 beside him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Roidmude 004 (Spider Type)
- Height: 200 cm
- Weight: 97 kg
- Heavy Acceleration
- The signature ability of the Roidmude is to somehow slow down the movement of surrounding objects', including that of humans, with their unaffected consciousness aware of their impass during this time. One can be protected by the Heavy Acceleration effect by carrying Shift Cars or Signal Bikes on their person.
- Energy Attack
- Plain Roidmudes all have machine-gun-like fingers from which they can fire energy bullets. This feature is forsaken for greater power upon evolution into an Advanced Roidmude.
- Advanced Camouflage
- Roidmudes can generate disguises through film-layers around their body that function similar to the cerebral cortex.
- Data Mimicry
- Roidmudes can transform their bodies into data to travel within the electricity/cyberspace while in their Core modes. They can as well temporarily morph their bodies into data to easily phase through solid objects.
- Wall Crawling
- Spider Type Roidmudes possess the ability to climb walls. This feature is forsaken for greater power upon evolution into an Advanced Roidmude.
- Webbing
- Spider Type Roidmudes can generate spider webs from their mouth to their liking. They can even spit an energized version which as strong as their finger blasts. This feature is forsaken for greater power upon evolution into an Advanced Roidmude.
- Abnormal Strength/Resilience
- Despite never having evolved beyond his Plain form, 004 demonstrated extraordinary resilience as he was able to hold his own against Drive as Type Tridoron, a form he accessed to overcome Over Evolved Roidmudes, and even survive his finishing attack. It is possible that the reason behind this is due to having Krim's intellect.
- Self Destruct
- 004 is capable of initiating a self destruct mechanism of his own.
Arsenal[]
- Door-Ju
- Briefly stolen from Drive Type Tridoron by Gold Drive.
