That is GLORIOUS. I love the cape details and the helmet is perfect. This, this is what Baron was meant to be more than Mango.

I really cant get excited for this one. Its Lemon Arms on Baron, nothing special, just new arms set. :lol

Still kinda felt like they could've made him a Banana Energy Lock seed. I like this though, but at the same time something feels off for being Baron.

Banana soda? Hmmm.....

I think the Energy Riders are dull and Kaito sucks but to give credit where credit is due the Lemon Energy Arms goes well with his suit design and colour scheme, he looks pretty good.

From a design perspective a character perspective or both?

Both. In terms of character I just find it boring that EVERYONE is using the same powers, Sid especially seems like an interesting character but then he transforms and I just wanna fall asleep.

Designwise they all just look, and feel, like they were trying too hard with clustered, busy and the kind of "quirky" that students use as a descriptor for their tweed jacket designs. Meteor proved that symmetry isn't necessary for a great suit, but I always find the more simple a Rider design the better it comes off. The Energy Riders feel like a raid to the prop department, and ten minutes with some selotape. There is just so much ugly all at once it just all clashes.

Can't deny the suit/Arms go well together, but I'm still finding it hard to get excited about.

All i can say is lemon nipple shoulders.

I will never be able to unsee that

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.
