The Rapid Rider, also known as the Cat, is a water-based vehicle used by the Rock Raiders for reconnaissance and material transportation across underground lakes and rivers. It resembles a small catamaran propelled by two small jet engines. It has a small Cargo Hold, two clamps to attach tools to, and a single seat for a sailor.
In the PC game
In the Windows PC version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Rapid Rider is classified as a small vehicle, and requires two Energy Crystals for power. A Rock Raider must be trained as a sailor to use a Rapid Rider.
The Rapid Rider is one of only two vehicles that can be teleported at the Docks, the other being the Cargo Carrier. It can only travel across water, and it moves at a rather brisk 2 blocks per second. If a Rock Raider is carrying an object when they board the vehicle, it will be carried in the Rapid Rider's small cargo hold. The Rapid Rider is also the only vehicle that does not require the Support Station to be teleported.
Upgrades
The Rapid Rider can't actually be upgraded, as it can't cross land to reach an Upgrade Station. However, evidence of plans for upgrades can be found in the manual and code. The manual lists three upgrades available for the Rapid Rider:
- Engine: Costs 10 pieces of Ore
The configuration code for the Rapid Rider shows it as having three engine levels, increasing the speed from 2 blocks per second to 3 blocks per second with the first upgrade, and from 3 to 4 with the second. - Scanner: Costs 5 pieces of Ore
- Carry Capability: Costs 5 pieces of Ore
As all three of these upgrades cost the same as the upgrades for the Small Transport Truck, they were likely copied from its description, and never removed for some reason.
Dependency
The Rapid Rider costs 2 Energy Crystals and requires the following for teleportation:
- Rock Raider
- Tool Store [UP1]
- Teleport Pad [UP1]
- Power Station
- Docks
