Favorite Henshins

Rider: Kuuga and Agito

Sentai: Almost anything pre-Gingaman. Short, non-flashy transformations look cooler than long, drawn-out ones.

Ultraman: Nexus

Metal Hero: Metalder, Jiraiya, Wins/Sol/Exceed. Actually, most MH henshins are pretty cool.

He definitely has one of the best out there! I love the layed armor when he Henshins. Ultraseven 21 was a kickass dude too, btw. 2000 doesn't seem so far. Can't believe it's been that long :O_O:

For "on the spot" Henshins, I gotta say Kabuto. It's not over the top and flashy. Besides, Cast-Off is so badass.

But I definitely favor the "suit-up" sequences over any other Henshin. G3's and Rescue Force's Henshins are my favorites.

Black
Kuuga
Decade
Amazon
Caucasus
Dark Kiva (Otoya's catch phrase when doing it)
Ixa (Something about that fist)

>All Faiz riders bar Delta. It was original when it was first done, and still iconic today. Just dial a number, and twist it 90 degrees on the belt! The dialling sounds are also cool.

>Black and Black RX. Re-watching Minami Kotaro do it again in Decade actually made me love it all again.

>IXA. Especially how Otoya does it. There's something about that knuckle being inserting into the belt and the "FIS-U-TO ON!" sound.

>Shinkenger. You write in the kanji in the air and swipe the Shodophone to turn it round in mid air. The sequence is also nice and short.

>TheBee. I love how the simplicity of how the Zecter goes onto the bracer to initiate the henshin. The honeycomb effect pops up during the sequence which is a nice touch.

Ixa is truly a badass Rider, and it had some truly badass users to go along with it (Otoya, Nago on a good day).

Not only is lightning striking a Rider for a henshin the most badass way to change, Roaring Thunder is THE best background music EVER! (It's also my ringtone)
