This thing looks glorious in full display. But what's really surprising is that an upgrade form for baron was never planned. The production team had to bash this one together based on the characters overwhelming popularity.
The reason Gaim has so many forms is because the other riders were never originally supposed to. But the very positive fan reaction and overwhelming toy sales warranted it's creation. The helmet is a one-off bash of a spare Baron and Duke helmet that had to be custom built. The Energy Rider armor pieces weren't made modular like the Armored Riders were so they aren't built to swap at a production level. |

Looks good. The fact that Baron wasn't meant to get an energy seed upgrade makes this suit make a lot more sense. Cherry might have worked too, but sticking with yellow arms armour was a good idea.
I'm kinda confused by the people who seem to think Duke is already done. He's the only energy rider other than Shin Zangestu getting a retail AC. His only fight scene so far involves him wiping the floor with Jinba Lemon Gaim and Baron without even trying. I'm pretty sure he's going to transform again and demolish Kachidoki when he fights for real, possibly neccesitating Kiwami. |

Looking at it more, I think that the suit works aside from the cape. The Cape just makes the whole thing look really weird. I know Mango has a cape but I think they should have stuck to just the lemon armor for Baron.

The Energy Rider suits are not segmented in this way. The Arms are fixed permanently to the suits used for filming. They have base body suits used for the henshin sequences but the main suits are all permanently with those specific arms. So they didn't have Lemon Energy Arms components floating around in the same way they did for say Pine, Banana, etc. They had to custom make new parts for Baron Lemon Energy.

It means the suits are all modular. Designed similarly to the toys really. Each suit is a basic body with separate pieces for chest, back, shoulders, head. This helps them facilitate the Arms Changes that happen in show, they can swap the parts fairly easily between scenes when necessary.

I think we saw him twice, once on that rooftop in the Energy Riders' intoduction and and the other fighting Gaim and Baron
Yeah, that is bullshit, its sad that we've seen Pine Arms more times then a god damn Kamen Rider. Baron in Lemon Energy arms looks excellent aside from the shape of the lemon head piece obviously meant for Duke's head. Duke has transformed in the introduction of the New Generation Riders, but off-screen. Duke has detransformed once after the fight with Gaim and Baron. |

Each torso piece has a rigid wrap-around piece the armour parts sit on. For Gaim, this means Orange, Pine and Strawberry each have a blue piece, and Banana and Mango have silver. (to match the undersuits) This is why Gaim magically has a silver upper torso when he switched to banana that one time. Also, Gaim's frilly gold shoulder scallops are supposed to be part of his undersuit, but are really attached to the orange/pine/whatever armour. This is why in the intro the orange armour sitting their has those sallops, even though they're not part of the arms. |
