Belt kind of says that tridron is kind of his body, after the driver that is. So at this point I'm going with 001-Heart, 002-Brain and 003-Medic. I know it's unlikey but I wish we could get figures of the three basic Roidmud forms and of course 000, The face kind of gives of a Kikaider vibe (new version Kikaider not the classic)

I accept that they're here, I just wish the show would stop treating them like they're characters that the audience should care about. They aren't characters. They're toy cars that are very obviously being cheaply manipulated with strings. Drive already has enough problems with creating engaging characters that it doesn't need to waste time trying to get me emotionally invested in Dream Vegas being sad because Dimension Taxi got hurt.

Jokes aside, this episode was both good and bad. I really disliked the slapstick used since it was unnecessary, and I too would agree that the cars are possibly the worst use of background filler ever, and the magic mcguffin for every conceivable plot hole in the Drive story. While the new Roid Medic is easy on the eyes, I could do without. Revealing Chase was good enough, although I still hold out hope that he's going to go the way of Meteor and join team Belt. Next week looks like it's going to be a bit more fun. I love the use of the phrase Let's Henshin. But that's the Go-Buster fan in me.

Right, like you never use your Matchbox cars to represent characters in their own dramas. That's why the hot rod is secretly cheating on the Barbie dream mobile with the one that looks like the Mystery Machine with chipped paint. All while the secret garage under the couch gets found by the princess carriage crew.....

See now, if the Shift Cars could transform into giant alien robots, THEN that'd get me emotionally invested.

I liked this episode.
I found it interesting that they did a three episode set instead of two episodes since it breaks a bit of the two episode pattern by adding a third episode into and i hope this will be the case of having varied episode sets as opposed to this being the only exception. Also hyped for Mach and more of what is going on with Chase. |

Mach is also a bit goofier than I expected but it will provide an interesting contrast with Shinnosuke. |

So basically what the deal with chase is that he is the technical first roimude in existence and he is the one that has more human qualities than all the other roimudes seeing as how he can actually feel remorse and other emotions that most roimudes can't feel. Except for heart who feels a somewhat sense of care and sadness towards other roimudes
