Kamen Rider Drive - News/Rumours Thread 1

[HenshinSlayer]

Mach is obviously gonna be Shinnosuke's partner wound up in the hospital.

Make him like both Accel and Birth!

 

[Ryuutaros]

Oh oh I know! Mach is Accel's cousin who lives away from Fuuto!

 

[KamenRiderAzrael]

I want Mach to be Speed Racer.

And... Let the Mach rumoring continue:

My guess, Mach is a bad guy for a few episodes and then turns good, I hope not though. (Maybe Chaser turns good and betrays Mach?)

Now that would be interesting. A (semi) monster on the side of good, and I rider on the side of evil.
Looks like some sort of bike chase in that picture. Hard to tell if one is chasing the other, or if they're both together, chasing something else...

 

[KamenRiderAzrael]

Hard to say who or what Mach is at this point. I figure that in a few weeks, we'll learn more. It seems they might go in the direction of Double through Wizard and have Mach officially debut in a post credits scene of Movie War Full Throttle.

I haven't been really reading this rumour thread at all to be honest, but I was wondering is Chase actually human and not a Roimude? He's called the Grim Reaper and such by others, but he seems to be under the command of Heart and Brain. Feels like he's been granted with the powers of Machin Chaser and he could have his powers taken away if he shows any signs of betrayal.

It has been hinted in not-so-subtle ways that he is in fact protodrive, the original rider during the first slowdown. Whether he's the man himself, or a roimude copy remains to be seen.

My only problem with Chase possibly being Proto-Drive is how in the hell Belt-San doesn't recognize him.

All they've stated in the show is that Machine Chaser seems to have been based off of the Proto-Drive designs. Hopefully we find out more about this in the Proto-Drive extra episode.
