I NEED YOUR HELP!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help by telling me who, if any, this diaclone rider would originally come with. My mate accidentally bought one at a comic con and I am going to try to buy it off him.
Much thanks, John.

If memory serves it would be one of the seekers.

Are you sure that it's even a Diaclone figure? The shape, size, and lack of articulation remind me of Robo Strux pilots.

Glarryg is right and I am wrong.

Looks to me like it could be from a Starriors figure, another 80's toy (and Marvel comic) line. They (at least in the comic) weren't actual pilots, but some sort of important component (like a brain) put in them in their creators image.
They're absolutely not Diaclone/kron pilots, those have articulated shoulder and hip joints plus magnetic feet, and these are permanently seated, as were Starrior "pilots".
Doing a little google, the toys were a Zoids branch off and made by Tomy (in their pre-Takara days).
Image Googling "zoid pilot" brings up many images, including some that look much like these.

Yep.
Looks identical to me.

Of course there's nothing to say you can't repurpose one for use with a TF/DK figure.
