Their syndicate had been discovered and pursuit by Go Shijima, a trainee and candidate for Mach system. He eventually chased them to Japan while abandoning his training.

Powers and Abilities[]
- Height: 208 cm
- Weight: 100 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.
- Slowdown Wristbands creation
- Roidmude 018 can create Slowdown Wristbands to let their users receiving control over Heavy Acceleration. If the Wristbands removed, they would lose memories of buying it so Roidmude 018's operation can be covered. Also, Heavy Acceleration particles are nowhere to be found, since humans were the only users of the bands.
- Greed Consumption
- Like certain Roidmude, 018 can feed on the impulses of human greed (such as money) to evolve, though the operation somewhat slower.

Notes[]
- Unlike other Roidmudes, he was shown to wear a hat similar to his evolved brother in his combatman form. Medic had mentioned that 018's evolution was still imperfect, meaning that his hat would have been a part of his later evolution into an Advanced Roidmude.
