If I find Assault Wolf on Twitter, I'll post it here.

assault wolf ? yes !
Shining hopper ? yes !
Shining assault hopper ? nah...

I was hoping scans of Thouser along with them.

the add-on is called Assault Grip

So then, wait; what does the Assault Wolf key do without the grip?

As of right now, I believe the answer will come the same time we figure out what the Fullfull Bottle does without the Hazard Trigger.

it seems Shining Assault Hopper photo in scan is taken indoor, thats why the color is not same with prev one in magazine, which is light blue,

outdoor shoot looks good tho

of course, camera color correction + special effect will make it good. cant wait for the debut.

That...

...

Yeah, good point :lol

Has anyone else noticed that Vulcan's upgrade form has Build's Rabbit/Tank antennae?

Huh, it totally does. Odd, wonder if that's just a reference, or if there'll be an in story reason for that

My guess is either they had some parts left and just glued them on or when creating the original mold for the helmet they added it during the process. Re-purposing has been common practice in tokusatsu so I don't mind. Heck, look at LuPat. The collections were all re-purposed props from older seasons. And the pistol the Dekarangers were using when not transformed were used in some other unrelated tokusatsu show/movie I believe.

The pistols they used were just unpainted versions of DekaRed's smaller pistol.

Anyhow, reusing parts from a previous season on a current show's new upgrade is a lot less common so it's a bit surprising to me, but this one part is so tiny and it honestly works well enough with Assault Wolf's aesthetic.

Wonder if Aruto & Fuwa be fused together once Shining Assault Hopper is made.

Pretty sure the way Vulcan Assault's antennae look is just a coincidence. The "tank" part is an overlay piece. It's meant to look more like a communication's antennae from the look of it. Doesn't match Build's tank side either from what I could see at least.

The eyes have some subtle asymmetry too. I think it's just part of the general "high-tech military hardware" look they're going for. Personally I kinda dig it.

moar scans yo

... Wait. Is that showing Assault Wolf and Assault Shining Hopper co-existing?!

Either way, wow, they finally made good briefcase-based weapons! I wish they'd led with these rather than dorito sword and boomerang gun.

Maybe the Assault Wolf key still lets Fuwa transform while Aruto uses the Assault Trigger? That would answer the "what does it do without the add-on" question.

Zero-One theme song stuck in my head. TM Revolution does not disappoint.

Old, but, I think we could talk about it
Metal Cluster

Rampage Gatling/Vulcan: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EINMY1pW...jpg&name=small

No Burning Falcon yet.

But how do you think you'd picture Zero-One's final form? I know it's early, but just thoughts before that form can reveal to us.

I wonder if Aruto will finally get Flying Falcon back from Jin when he beats him with Shining Assault Hopper.

I would picture it as... Don't know really. We know he's using something on the side of his belt for it. So... I would have that look like the center of Ichigo's Typhoon, but Zero-One style. And have a unique ProgRise Key called Justice Hopper, abbilty Heroic.

I would have the form be a mixture of all his Hopper forms. With a unique spin on it. Not sure what that would be though.

Btw, Metal Cluster Hopper comes out March, I think? And Rampage is February

If they first end up siding with Thouser, Jin will eventually choose to join Zero-One. Hopefully Jin ends up with Burning Falcon and Aruto has Flying Falcon back.

RKF gives our best look yet at Thouser.

Thouser with black mask and purple eyes? Interesting. Maybe Thouser have two helmets with different colors.

while I preferred gold/silver/blue, gold/silver/purple is kind of unusual and looks cool too.
EDIT : oh and beetle faceplate is black now

Ok this looks significantly better as a Rider suit now

I love it!!!

Amatsu Gai is definitely Thouser with that look!

There are things I would picture him doing in the series:
- MetsubouJinrai.net swearing allegiance to him and ZAIA
- Attempt to gain Hiden Intelligence
- Hijack Izu to serve him. Once Aruto gets her back, Shester as his new secretary, by hijacking her from Fukuzoe
- proposing a tournament between two teams: Zero-One, Vulcan & Jin vs Thouser, Valkyrie & Horobi. Winner gets control of Hiden Intelligence.

Huh, that's interesting. Purple's my favorite color, so I can't complain, I'm just not sure it blends with the color scheme as well as blue did

i dunno, something about the black/gold/silver color scheme takes me back to the days of ZyuohTheWorld, and it only helps that both have a rhino incorporated into their designs.

His helmet especially with the eye shape is looking a LOT like Horobi. Can definitely believe this is his new Rider form now.

Sinister, yet regal. If Thouser is aiming to take the position of Big Bad from Horobi, he sure is dressing the part.

Looking at tweets and Ig speculation also reddit suggest Dodo getting a mets driver and purple eye means thouser is horobi being hijacked and corrupted by zaia. I could see his belt gets taken by dodo if he survive the Xmas ny eve chant. Not first time toys scan differ with tv making new combo or extending certain actor role narrative . Valkyrie need something or she's duped d

Valkyrie is the tertiary Rider. She's likely not to get anything until near the end or a surprise something that wasn't in the scans. Wouldn't be the first time we've gotten a surprise form out of nowhere.

Ooh, color change on thouser! I think that this is Thouser with the scorpion progrise key. Maybe this is before ZAIA perfected their own Zetsumerize key and has to use a Progrize one. Either that or Thouser gets stolen by horobi before getting the beetle key.

Well I've no idea who the new Dodo Rider is,k but it isn't Ansatsu-chan - he just got his flowers!
