This is a bit of an odd one, but here's the long & short of it.
I had been in the middle of building my own Kamen Rider Heart Type Speed/Wild/Technic, the form he briefly and unsuccessfully used in the Heart V-Cinema before attaining his Type Miracle form. It's one of those little pet side projects I'd intended to complete forever, so acquiring an extra set of Types Speed Wild & Technic finally happened and I got to work. When finished however, I had a ton of spare parts, some useable, most not. My obsession with finding a way to use these parts in some meaningful way resulted in the custom you see below. This figure features the right leg & arm as well as the left hand of Type Technic, the left leg of Type Speed with the shin and knee armor removed. In place of the shin is a Shift Car holster. The lower abdomen comes from Type Speed with Type Wild's Driver Driver attached. The Mr Belt readout has been removed and a Rumble Dump Shift Car permanently affixed inside. My story behind it being that Mr. Belt was removed to take away any sense of justice this rider had left. The Shift Brace has been moved to the right hip as well, it's placement and the Shift Car holster were just aesthetic choices more than thematic ones on my part. But they play into the broken nature of this rider. The upper boy comes from Type Wild as does the left arm, which is actually Wild's right arm reversed with the Rumble Dump tire attached. The head of course comes from Type Speed though I've added some mangled details to the visor. The sword he's holding actually came from a very old McFarlane Onimusha figure and I attached half a Fire Braver Tire to it to create the Tire Sword. A nice derivation of Drive's Handle Sword, just a bit more crude. After fully building it and trying to create a more uniform color scheme, while still keeping in line with the scattered violent nature of an Another Rider, I applied some red enamel to most of the body. As it bonded to the plastic it actually formed into some really cool patterns, especially on the left leg. Oddly enough though it actually make the figure look like it'd been through a literal blood bath as well! Though not intentional this dirtied color scheme works pretty well in my opinion. I also applied some burn marks to the Tire Sword, head, shoulder drill tip, and shift car holster. My original intent with cobbling this thing together was to make my own take on what Another Drive from Kamen Rider Zi-O could potentially look like. After sharing this custom on twitter I got some great suggestions about other names for this thing. I even like the idea that this could be the actual Drive, after using a shift car based on Another Drive. For now, it's Another Drive. But please vote in the poll attached to this thread to help me determine what I'll call this thing after we've officially seen Another Drive!

Blood Drive fits best IMO. Calling it an "Accident"-form clashes with Chaser and the Super Dead Heat-form which already embody that theme. For me this looks more like a cobbled together form attained in rage that's only out for blood.
It looks too "classic" to be Another Drive. I would make this a new Rider entirely and call it "Blood Drive". |

Literally no one in my Twitter feed at all has. It's been basically a totally positive response so I'd like to know what exactly you mean by "dissing on this".

I should mention that the people I've seen doing this are like uber snobbish and part of a toy server. They've said it look horrible, they laugh at where everything is where it is, they're criticisms just come across very demeaning and rude. Something I've seen more than a couple times was "type accident/crash". I don't very much appreciate it. And I have no idea why I mentioned it here. I really do enjoy this piece. It's very nifty.
