Past
Roidmude 004 was a Spider-Type Roidmude that was specifically programmed by Tenjuro Banno in his evil plans without Krim's knowledge. He was also implanted with a chip that contained evil scents of a human being, after Banno's partnership with Krim ended badly. As the first three Roidmudes attacked Krim Steinbelt's residence, 004 was also present, copying Krim Steinbelt's appearance upon his death. However, by copying someone's memories and appearance upon their death, his memory was corrupted and 004 would later deactivate sometime later after the Global Freeze. When Banno was re-awakened by Go after he stole the tablet containing his essence, Banno reactivated 004.

Resurfacing from the shadows, Roidmude 004 kidnapped Krim and knocked Shinnosuke unconscious when the youth is weakened by the sudden but inevitable betrayal of Go's father, Tenjuro Banno.

Because he is Krim's imitation, 004 arguably has the same intellectual prowess as the original and created another Drive Driver with extra functionality and allowed Banno's consciousness to reside in the driver. 004 also added a program onto the real Drive Driver causing him to turn haywire in the future.

Powers and Abilities

 * 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.


 * 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.

Arsenal

 * Door-Ju
 * Briefly stolen from Drive Type Tridoron by Gold Drive.
