Those are not his form changes. The Tire gimmick is more like what Fourze did with his switches giving him new powers. Drive will have proper form changes down the line.

Well the suits and tire gimmick, they just look fun and simple. The car still look cool, and I just want to see this stuff in action.

Well then the gimmick is tired. :p

I for one have already planned on making 'Belt-San' my favorite character... Lol.

Okay so I am now in the weird position of not wanting Gaim to end and wanting Drive to start. Can they both continue together?

My faith in drive has grown a bit

Couple more items from TV-Ashi:

*The show is described as one part Kamen Rider, one part Detective Drama.

*Shinnosuke was actually a criminal before being recruited by Tokyo Police to use the Drive Driver.

I found the poster of Kamen Rider Drive and I gotta say it's pretty awesome!

The villains! From left to right: Chase, Heart and Brain.

Let's not forget something, people. If Sanjo's writing, that means Foundation X is due to make a reappearance.

The Figuart of this guy is gonna be awesome

Your right it's pretty awesome

Not necessarily; Foundation X is usually considered a pet project of Hideaki Tsukuda, the producer of Kamen Riders W and Fourze. He is not involved with Drive.

Bring on Drive!!! So ready for this!

Wait, really? I always thought it was something Sanjo did. Must have gotten myself confused somewhere. My bad.

Every time I hear the Henshin call "Drive!," I immediately think of "Meteor Ready?" and "OK!, Saturn!!!" Lol.

Ore Sanjou!

A lot of people seem to forget that Sanjo wasn't really in charge of Fourze. He wrote a lot of episodes, but it wasn't his show. Tsukuda was the producer, though.

Kamen rider is always the best ever!

New Drive clips I think!

I cannot wait for this series! It looks so awesome.

Not that I want Gaim to end though.

Me too, excited for Drive but when I see the latest Gaim scans my heart sinks a little... that was a damn good show and it is going to end!

And is Drive calling out for a W crossover?

I mean, Accel can compensate for Drive's bike loss.

The strict looking heroine and Akiko together...

Solving crimes together!

And some awesome chase scenes can be created with Triderion and RevolGarry!

And the Drive jokes they could put in...

Why does his 'bike loss' need compensated for? What does he ever, in the entirety of the series, need a damned bike? (I'm not saying you specifically) This whole "OMG He doesn't have a bike?!" fan reaction really needs to stop.

Embrace new things.

I would be happy if he gets a bike. I mean Black RX had a bike and got a car. I see no reason why Drive couldn't get a Bike. Also Machine Chaser is going to have a bike which is perfectly fine with me.

The show, the suit, the actors, the plot everything looks freaking exciting for Drive, I don't care if he has a bike or not.

I'd be alright if he got a bike, to be honest. I just had enough with this fan reaction of attacking the show because he doesn't have one right now.

Oh no no no, I love and embrace Triderion, I'm used to less bikes appearing as since Gaim really kind of toned down on bikes.

I'm not freaking out on whether what vehicle Drive uses. he can even use a bicycle and I won't mind.

I am just pointing out how Accel is made for Drive.

"A little bit of info about Mashin Chaser’s appearance from zQacw/7nsedJ:

魔進チェイサーは、目立つ場所にタイヤがあしらわれた、
格好良いけどちょっと面白いデザイン。

Mashin Chaser’s tire is decorated in a prominent place. Good looking but a funny/interesting little design."

And are you thinking what I am thinking? *wink*

I think so, Moderator, but I'm pretty sure the bank won't accept Yugoslavian dinari.

I wasn't calling you out specifically. And that is a good point. Gaim used Sakura Hurricane and Rose Attacker, what? Three times? And it goes back further. Fourze used Machine Masslinger only a few times as well. It was always Powerdizer coming and doing stuff.

then what about the next Battride war? will he be using the Triderion to run over helicopters? Then again that idea actually sounds more funny than awesome:D

Hoping we get a good look at the henshin sequence soon. What seemed to be the Drive Driver's voice in the last clip was sounding kinda cool.

The last Rider show to extensively use the bike was Kuuga. Ever since then they've usually only been used in a couple episodes to sell the toys, then get more or less completely dropped.

I think they used the bikes in Blade quite a bit. Not to fight, but I remember them being in every episode that they had to get somewhere quick.

W USed the the Hardboilder bike quite a few time since it also had it's own gimmick change in the back rear of the bike.

It was their only mode of transportation in the show. (Though with Hajime, his bike would transform when he did.)

You need to compare that to Kuuga, though, or even better one of the Showa series. Those shows had multiple motorcycle-related stunt sequences and fight scenes. The modern series rarely use them for more than transport and one or two episodes that highlight the gimmicks that are on the toy version.

Is it Mark Okita that's voicing the Drive Driver? The voice sounded like Decadriver, I think.

Until they ran out of gas, like when Kenzaki just wound up pushing Blue Spader :lol

Back on topic....

Has episode 47 been confirmed as a crossover episode by the summaries?
