Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

[raden238]

So it's finally here, July 23rd we get the arsenal pics. Tomorrow is probably the official press conference and we finally see the suit. The belt looks awesome, getting major Showa Rider vibes from it like Black RX and Super-1's belt. Thats freaking cool, it's about time the Main Rider finally got a belt that resembled the classics. Last one was Decade. The car brace looks interesting but the shift cars themselves as I guessed are just generic race cars. Meh, but its pretty cool he henshins using both a brace and a belt. That belt design is so cool :anime:. Now I'm pumped for the show.

EDIT: The concept art that user made was right. How did he do it?? Does that guy secretly work for Bandai?

There's also a "Type Wild" figure hidden at the bottom of the scans.

I have a feeling that the Shift Cars that have one word like Speed and Wild are for Type Changes while the ones with two words like Midnight Shadow and Max Flare are for the Trideron.

I speculate the brace will work like a drive shift for cars though anyone guess how, the centre display of the belt probably will show at which position, like in cars has P, D, R, N etc or numbers like a car gear position 1,2,3 ,4,5 and R displayed at the dashboard. But then it maybe something else entirely.

Other Shift Cars that were mentioned by a user on 2ch before the scans were posted:

The Drive Driver and Shift Brace come with two Shift Cars: Shift Speed and Shift Max Flare.

Other than that there’s Shift Wild, Technique, Midnight Shadow, Funky Spike, Spin Mixer, Massive Monster, and Dream Pegasus.

The Trideron uses the following Shift Cars: Justice Hunter (police car), Mad Doctor (ambulance), and Fire Braver (firetruck).

Chaser Shift Cars: Chaser Spider Viral Core, Bat Viral Core, and Cobra Viral Core.
Don’t know what Chaser is exactly, it might be the villain group or another Rider. “魔進” is written before Chaser but I don’t know what it means. Listing these as rumours until the rest of the catalogue confirms it.

Seeing the big "metal" thing on the front of the car makes me think that the front quarter is going to swap out depending on whatever Drive uses on his changer ala midnight tire or what not. as you can see with the blacked out picture of the car in the top right corner, it seems as if the wheel base is all the way out on the front of the car as opposed to behind the bumper's splitters.

and we can already see that there is multiple car forms on release. There's his regular form car, a flame car, the midnight shadow, and a translucent green one

As I wrote to the Kamen Rider Drive tumblr.

They're called Mashin Chasers. "魔進チェイサー" literally, Advancing/Proceeding Demon Chasers. Most likely the villains this time around. Spider and Bat were the first to monsters Rider 1 fought. Max Flare is for the special attack. Drive is only a silhouette in the toy catalogs. TK figuers will be able to ride the DX Trideron. Trideron has a sound gimmick and changeable wheels. The poster makes it seem like only Speed, Wild and Technique are Types. The other ones might be attacks and what not.
There's also no signs of a bike according to that poster.

It's actually Technic not Technique. Also, I imagine the Mashin Chasers are the gadget robot gimmicks off the season if not villain items

 

[DecaEnd]

It's actually Technic not Technique.

Multiple dictionaries says otherwise.

The Midnight Shadow, Funky Spike, Spin Mixer, Massive Monster, Dream Pegasus???
Justice Hunter, Mad Doctor, and Fire Braver??? Kick ass!! These are coolest names you can ever have for a car!!!

 

[KamenRiderShinzo]

Justice Hunter is my favourite name out of them. It sounds so cool and heroic! Fire Braver is second favourite. It sounds like a name of a tokusatsu hero or a mecha.
