I'm really not getting the vibe of Drive from Heisei Damashii, unless you're referring to the red, in which case I'm gonna point out that a plurality of the Heisei Riders have red base forms.
It looks more like a Legend Rider version of Grateful Damashii to me, with added shoulder parts so they could fit all 17 Heisei Riders' symbols. Considering I like Grateful, I like Heisei Damashii too. Ichigo Damashii though...yeah, that is kinda lazy. On the other hand, we get to see most of the Transient suit better, rather than just seeing it for a few seconds between transformation/Ghost Changes. I thought they learned their lesson after this... But no. Which I sorta liked for a moment but then after seeing it in action I just turned off the TV and went to go take a nap.

There seems to be some confusion about Ichigou Damashii. It's Ichigou, not Showa. I understand why having one side be Heisei may lead one to think the other is Showa, but it's just Ichigou.
That being said, it's an...unique suit. I see what they were going for with keeping the suit from being too bulky by not giving him a jacket, but it certainly looks weird. They probably could have done more to keep it distinct. Maybe coloring the skeleton green or something. I don't hate it, but it certainly is weird. And yeah, not really seeing where Heisei looks like Drive, it's seriously just a Grateful recolor. That aside, I have mixed feelings about it. It's a neat design in theory, definitely prefer the use of the symbols over the idea of having faces on the armor, and the "Hei" crest is clever enough, but the suit itself looks kinda cheap and clunky. Not a big fan of the red either, I was expecting it to be more silver...it's kinda eh. |

It's a Golgom plot.
It's a Decepticon plot. It's ugly.

It's actually kanji (Hei from Heisei) but not nearly as elegantly used as it could have been.

I still like to see it as the Decepticon insignia though ever since Den-O put that in my head.

The 45 eyecon actually appears in the Wizard chapter of the legendary rider soul specials. It's a combination of all 16 Kamen Rider eyecons so it makes sense how it's similar to Grateful. It appears near the end of the special for those who want to see it.

Ichigo Damashi looks like Ghost is wearing a hijab.

Honestly, Heisei isn't that bad, though I think the helmet looks really dumb. I kinda wish they'd use some other color than white, maybe silver? Red and silver is usually a good color combo.
The other one though... The only think good I can say about that is that the Ichigo helmet looks kinda cool with a hood. |

Heisei Damashii looks alright. The Showa Damashii to me looks bad. I'm getting a similar vibe from Kamen Rider 15th from over a year ago when looking at these designs.
