Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

[Dr Kain]

Maybe people judging the suits based on a few blurry images and leaked catalogue scans. It doesn't surprise me that they want to wait and give us a proper reveal and I don't think hiding it means they're afraid of anything. Especially after the extremely negative initial reaction to Gaim.

And that is the only reason I'm trying to stay optimistic about this new show. They managed to surprise us with Gaim, but that is because they had quality writing to back it up. At least tell us who the main writer is so I can have some type of expectation other than, "There is no way in hell this is even going to come close to being as good as Gaim."

Don't mistake the lack of information for something big happening. I said this around the time of Fourze, Toei has just gotten better at withholding information and avoiding leaks.
Had they been able to do it long before that, they would have.

When a magazine with strong ties to Toei such as Televi-kun is using "the mystery behind the new Rider" as a tagline then it's pretty obvious this isn't just about Toei getting better at keeping production a secret. We still have our leaked set photos, accurate sketches, etc.. The only difference from previous years is the full silhouette of Drive in the toy catalogue.

Wouldn't surprise me if we have to wait till the tv promos in September to see the reveal of Drive. They came this far why not wait till the very last minute and keep up the suspense.

Multiple magazines coming out at the end of August/the beginning of September will have features on Drive and the main cast. We'll have info from magazines before any TV promos advertisements.

I got a feeling (more like a theory) is that Toei might want to bring back the impact of bikes that Kamen Rider once had, so maybe they will give Drive a bike later, or maybe his final form will have something to do with a bike. So I think they give Mashin Chaser a bike just to keep a bike's presence in the show till the time comes.

We hope so. :disappoin

Seeing that Mashin Chaser has a bike, while Drive doesn't makes me think that Drive is gonna get a bike (whether for his final form or something else) and Mashin Chaser playing a part in it, which most likely be his death at the hands of the big bad of the series or Drive activating his final form to defeat him once and for all.

You might have a good point if itdoes happen then in middle of the series mashin chaser will gain redemption equals death with Drive getting his bike powers to honor his rival turned ally.

Not bad, not bad at all. I still hate red, and it's only two years after the red-heavy Wizard; but that's a personal thing.

I don't know if it's because it's a toy or what, but the tire on the armor feels a bit too big :sweat:

This look any smaller?

It looks better on that pic, though that pic's quality is worse than the toy one :sweat:

That's a BADASS suit! One of the more simple suit/armor designs we've had since W. He definitely looks like a Rider, which I doubted! Good job Toei! Can't wait to see Mashin Chaser!

Well what do you know Drive does have bug eyes like a true kamen rider after all but a mouth piece which looks like something used for sentai also he does have a point dot like think on his helmet like any rider does.

Yeah i wonder what 'mashin chaser' looks like.
