Worst kamen rider transformation devices

[Green Mario]

Does G3 count as a secondary rider, if so, I will say his, because to transorm you have to get a suitcase, open it up, unfold it, snap pieces into place, then pres some buttons.

Also, for the rider this is flawed, but for the people watching, it is entertaining, that would be OOO's transformation, always needing coins, but always lossing them.

555's transformation would be good if anyone can use the belt, because the phone has a certain number that has to be dialed, so it is like a password sort of.

Except the password is shown to you whenever you open it.

I'd day The first three riders, didn't they need wind to power the transformation?

Since most of the heisi have belts compared to having them installed as cyborgs, the only bad thing is the fact they can lose the transformation device

In terms of Heisi my scale is

Kuugaerfect, he literally can summon it any time and doesn't have to worry about having it nocked out of his hands

Agito:Same for Kuga

Ryuki:Well aside from needing a reflective surface it's not to bad as you just need to insert the deck

Fai: this is the start of the carry around belts, the bad is he has to lug it around, then insert a cell phone after making a call

Blade:Not to bad, a buckler and a card

Hibiki: Pretty good, he has to carry around a little whistle

Kabuto:Have to lug a belt around(or other various devices) and then wait for a zecter

Den-o:Lugging around the belt and either needing a host(imagin) or the sword to fight

Kiva:similar to Kabuto he has to wait for kivat

Decade:The best by definition as its a buckler and can transform to any rider or just use the abilites in default

W:The double driver is terrible as you need two people to transform and if one can't you're screwed

OOOs: Eh, it needs 3 coins or its screwed

Fourze:It's bulky, the start up is long, you need at least four switches to activate

Wizard:Not to bad the driver always seems to be on haruto, just need a transforming ring

Gaim:Again not bad, a buckle and lock seed, and if your in helheim you should be fine as there's an abundant source of lock seeds

Please don't think I hate a series if I said a driver sucked, I loved series like W or Fourze but honestly the Drivers can be a little impratical

So many recent belts are bad for their own reasons.

Pragmatism. If you're in a pinch and you need to quickly transform, someone like Eiji has to wait for his antisocial blonde-haired friend to toss him the medals (make sure he catches them), insert the medals into the correct slots quickly, and without needing to look to see if you're poking them in the right spot to go in/you're not putting Taka into where Tora should be by mistake, tilt the thing AND scan it. Not very practical, but at least the belt doesn't look too much of an eyesore, and it provides some protection after the scanning.

Gentarou has to slap on his toy...belt and quickly activate the four switches before jacking the handle. I'm not going to argue against the Fourze Driver being a hideous object, or that it doesn't allow Gentarou that physical protection just before the suit appears, but it theoretically it doesn't take as long to transform with it as it would with an OOOs Driver. It's especially key if you've practised speedily transforming, and you can hammer on all four switches in almost an instant.

Haruto's hand-on-crotch belt I can just about put up with...until it sings. It's especially egregious when your singing belt takes a hammer to a dramatic moment.

Nitou's Beast Driver is certainly the worse belt of the two in the show he belongs in. It's gaudy, and it's one of the most toy-like objects no matter which direction you look at it, and its silly voice completely destroys all suspension of disbelief I could muster at this being an ancient item constructed by ancient sorcerers.

I'm going to also criticise the Sengoku and Genesis Drivers funnily not for the actual transformation mechanisms (and as silly as their motifs are), but because in an actual battle, they're not going to stand the durability test. We're talking about "opened" Lockseeds that are simply attached at the front of the belt, and a blatant vulnerability spot. If I were an opponent, guess where I would be aiming at. At least with other recent belts, they offer some method of protection to maintain the user's transformation, but after what we've seen of Hase, one good blow to the belt and the unprotected Lockseed is all you need to wreck it. It's a bit of a design flaw that Ryouma should have reconsidered.

Plus the Genesis Driver may as well be the size of a car. Who would wish to try and fight with a behemoth of plastic weighing your waistline down?

Den-o:Lugging around the belt and either needing a host(imagin) or the sword to fight

Actually all you have to lug around is the Rider Pass and it can summon the Terminal Buckle to the Rider's waist. And the waiting for Imagin is only for Ryotaro since everyone else who uses that type of belt (Gaoh, Kotaro, Shiro, and the Imagin) can fight right away.
