Ultra Sonic Raider

:You may be looking for the set.
The Ultra Sonic Raider (also known as the Super Sonic Raider) was a vehicle resembling a cross between a tank and a race car. It was created by the ninja to battle the Great Devourer. After the ghost invasion, the Ultra Sonic Raider was obtained by Monkey Wretch, who modified the vehicle for the Sky Pirates before it was retrieved by the ninja once more.
==History==
===Rise of the Snakes===
====Day of the Great Devourer====
After the Great Devourer destroyed the Destiny's Bounty, Kai thought of a new plan to fight the snake. Using the Tornado of Creation in Ed and Edna's Junkyard, the ninja created the Ultra Sonic Raider to face off with the Great Devourer. After restraining the beast with their new vehicle's grappling hooks, the ninja attacked the Devourer with sonic cannons playing the melody of the Sacred Flute. The Devourer was weakened by the music but managed to attack the Ultra Sonic Raider with its tail, destroying the top seat and the sonic cannons. Luckily, the ninja were unharmed (apart from Zane losing some of his artificial skin), and used the Ultra Sonic Raider to pursue the Great Devourer to Ninjago City.
===Legacy of the Green Ninja===
====Double Trouble====
Nya began repairing the Ultra Sonic Raider during her part-time job at the auto body shop. It was fully functional by the time the evil ninja arrived and tricked Nya into letting them drive the Raider to Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys. After the evil clones were defeated, the ninja drove the Ultra Sonic Raider back home, with Cole riding the Ultra Dragon instead.
====Ninjaball Run====
To save Dareth's dojo (where they were training Lloyd) from destruction due to unpaid bills, the ninja entered the annual Ninjaball Run competition with the Ultra Sonic Raider. Prior to the race, Nya revealed that she had made some modifications to the vehicle, which could be activated by pulling a lever in the upper cockpit, but the racket of the other vehicles prevented the ninja from hearing the details other than Nya's warning to use it only in a tight spot.
The ninja started the race on a bad note when the Ultra Sonic Raider's left track fell apart (thanks to Brad and Gene's sabotage). Despite the subsequent loss of time, the vehicle quickly gained ground on the competition once the treads were repaired, eventually competing with Ed and Edna's upgraded jalopy for first place. During the Glacier Barrens portion of the race, the Raider's fuel ran low, but Ed and Edna offered their fuel for the ninja's use after hearing about Dareth's plight.
However, the nature of the race meant that the ninja had to refuel on the fly, and matters only grew more complicated when Lord Garmadon sent his Serpentine forces to interfere. Although the ninja successfully refueled the Ultra Sonic Raider, the vehicle ended up causing a multi-car pileup after Zane accidentally knocked Rattla into Ed and Edna's jalopy. The Raider was not appreciably damaged in the crash, allowing it to continue, but not before Jay attached a piece of his parents' wrecked jalopy to the front of the upper cockpit, hoping to ensure that "at least part of their car crossed the finish line."
Refueled and ready to go, the Ultra Sonic Raider entered the final leg of the race ahead of its only remaining competition, Lord Garmadon's Black Bounty. When the villain impeded the Raider's path by using the Mega Weapon to create a vast chasm, Kai decided to trust Nya's unknown modifications and pulled the emergency lever. To the ninja's delighted surprise, the lever caused the upper part of the Ultra Sonic Raider to detach and transform into a flying vehicle, allowing them to cross the chasm and catch up with the Black Bounty. The vehicles were neck-and-neck as they crossed the finish line, but the Raider won by an inch; namely, the piece of Ed and Edna's car attached to the front of the cockpit.
After the race, the abandoned ground-bound portion of the Ultra Sonic Raider was presumably retrieved and reconnected to the upper half.
====Child's Play====
The ninja use the Raider to travel to the Museum to stop Garmadon from using his Mega Weapon.
====The Day Ninjago Stood Still====
The Ultra Sonic Raider was used to battle the Stone Army in Ninjago City, but the powerful machine could only slow down the indestructible warriors, forcing the ninja to join the rest of the city's inhabitants in a mass evacuation.
===Rebooted===
====The Surge====
When the ninja and the students of Wu's Academy are preparing to leave for a field trip to New Ninjago City, Brad Tudabone mentioned the Ultra Sonic Raider as an alternative to riding in the school bus, indicating that it is still in their possession.
===Dark Island Trilogy===
====Dark Island Trilogy, Part 2====
Some time after the ghost invasion, Clouse helped the Sky Pirates return to Ninjago. As they began to mine the Dark Island for Dark Matter, Monkey Wretch began designing vehicles which would be powered by the substance. Monkey Wretch would later surrender the vehicles after the ninja attacked the Sky Pirate's stronghold, and Jay and Nya used the Sonic Raider to help free the fishermen captured by the Sky Pirates. Lloyd, Nya, and Jay then used the Raider to travel to the Temple of Light while Cole used the Raider Jet to locate Master Wu.
====Dark Island Trilogy, Part 3====
===Day of the Departed===
The ninja—minus Cole and Zane, who had their own vehicles—used the Ultra Sonic Raider's components in an effort to reach the Ninjago Museum of History before it closed on the Day of the Departed. Afterwards, they split up and used the Sonic Raider's components to meet up with their friends and relatives for the holiday festivities. Kai and Nya would employ theirs to defeat a pair of Anacondrai Cultists revived by Chen to aid him in attacking them.
===The Hands of Time===
====The Hatching====
The Ultra Sonic Raider was used by the ninja in a race to see who would get to the museum first and fight the Vermillion.
====A Time of Traitors====
Nya used the Raider to travel to the museum to tell Kai the truth about Dr. Saunders. Meanwhile, Cole and Jay used the Bikes to get to Ninjago City to battle Vermillion warriors.
====Scavengers====
Nya drove the big bike to Ninjago City, with Zane plugged in, to help the other ninja fight Vermillion. Later, they drove it to the Power Plant. Then, after fighting the Vermillion, they departed to Mega Monster Amusement Park to stop more Vermillion, while Jay took a Bike to go to his parents' junkyard.
====A Line in the Sand====
The Ultra Sonic Raider was used by the ninja to retrieve the Slow-Mo Time Blade. It eventually crashed when the Vermillion threw snakes at them.
====Secrets Discovered====
When Lloyd pointed out that they still have the Raider Jet despite the other vehicles to the Ultra Sonic Raider being inactive, Jay told him that his father was still fixing it. At the same time, Ed finished fixing the jet until a butterfly landed on it, causing the Raider Jet's wings to fall off.

===Big bike===
The big bike70595 Ultra Stealth Raider#LEGO.com descriptionVisual Dictionary New Edition was a large two-wheeled bike and one of the four vehicles that formed the Ultra Sonic Raider. Sometime after the ghost invasion, the bike was created by Monkey Wretch for the Sky Pirates. However, the ninja claimed the big bike and the other vehicles after confronting Monkey Wretch, and later used it to travel to the Temple of Light and find Wu.
After the Day of the Departed, the bike began to be primary used by Nya and Zane during the Time Twins' return until it was crashed, which was caused by the Vermillion when they fought the ninja for the Slow-Mo Time Blade.

The raider bikes were mini bikes on the side of the big bike.

==Trivia==
*The Ultra Sonic Raider has some notable differences from the playset, including a larger cockpit and no sign of the back-mounted prison cell.
*It is unclear where the ninja got the blueprints for the Ultra Sonic Raider.
*This is one of the only vehicles to appear in seasons after their debut.
*Pythor appears in the Ultra Sonic Raider set, despite never interacting with the vehicle; by the time of the Raider's creation, he had already been eaten by the Great Devourer.
*The idea of the ninja creating the vehicle in the junkyard with the Tornado of Creation calls to mind the junkyard tornado fallacy, a philosophical argument attempting to disprove the possibility of life evolving from non-living matter by comparing it to the possibility of a specific type of airplane being created by a tornado in a junkyard.
*The second model is similar to the Rumble Blade from Nexo Knights, as it is also able to separate into a jet, two bikes and a land vehicle.
*In the sets, the second model is named the "Ultra Stealth Raider," whereas in the show and the Ninjago Magazine, its name remains unchanged.
*Zane possesses his own, smaller version of the Ultra Sonic Raider, which forms the legs of the Ninja Ultra Combo Mech.
