Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

[sinzz]

Type Wild looks like Master Chief from Halo but black. Pretty cool that this form change, really changes the overall Drive suit. Very distant from Type Speed. The last time we really had a Rider form changes like that was from OOOs. Also that ugly tire draped over the torso is moved to the shoulder which is nice I guess. I wonder if Type Wild can use the tire exchanges as well, and if it does, that gives a whole new level of power towards Drive.

Given that the tire change is Drive's gimmick I'm sure he can tire change with his shoulder tire.

The figure doesn't look complete.
The white part looks like the pre-model they put on before they ad abs and whatever is needed, but what do I know..

An homage to kamen rider joker?

His look is somewhat ruined by the multi-coloured toy cars hanging off the belt on his right like a set of giant crayons.

And that suit just magnifies for me how much better the Drive suit is without the tyre.

Skull Rider was both a homage to Skullman and the fact that Skullman was the progenitor of Kamen Rider (even having his enemies, Spider and Bat, be the first Dopants to appear in Futo). I thought that was a nice way of integrating a "Showa-ness" into W.

Proto Drive so far just seems to be another thoughtless W rehash. Skull without the tribute. I can only hope for something to be different this time, whether he be Machine Chaser, Mr. Belt before death, or something.

Who cares what it's an homage to? It looks friggin' cool.

 

[Black Fang]

That wasn't what I said.

This is obviously a rip off of Skull. The colors are mostly white and black, it's the first "Rider" in this series, but dies before the present day events, and also is only clearly shown in action in the movies.

Anyway, although this is clearly derivative, at least it means they'll be using the movies for something relevant to the show, not just random filler.

Yeah, Proto-Drive is pretty obviously the Skull of Drive, both in terms of coloring and role...but if he turns out to be Chaser, than that certainly adds a different and interesting element to it, and to the backstory of Drive, that can hopefully be explored in the Drive portion of the Movie War .

Heck, considering this is a Movie War, Mach will probably show up somewhere...

Well, considering the last Movie Wars Sanjo has worked on, and the Kyoryuger Summer movie, I expected as much :thumbs:.
