Know what Id love to happen? Drive and a secondary Rider are racecar drivers Ricky Bobby style and they have to battle a french guy to win. They travel around Japan Toqger style but instead of Shadow line, Dark Tracks! If you lose on the Dark Track, you lose forever!

Agreed. One of the hardest parts of doing the Den-O LWW is going back to that format again.

Cool

If that car's any indication on Drive's color scheme, I'm kind disappointed that were going back to Red/Black/Silver since Wizard was just last year. That in mind it does look cool, and I get the feeling those extra wheels on that back are going to part his new gimmick.

I campaign that Kamen Rider Drive will be more Rider show (with another female rider) because it's rumored to be racing tournament theme and I don't want Drive go back that 2 episode Arc. It just make the audience not watch the show. And I want Drive's head-writer to be newcomer. You know like Gen Urobuchi but this time different head-writer. And I think Drive will be lighter and softer than Gaim but

"DO NOT MAKE DRIVE COMEDY SHOW!"

Just because the Car motif doesn't have to be funny. Turboranger wasn't comedy Sentai show. And Kamen Rider is Batman of Japan!

I view Fourze as Adam West of Japan because Fourze was cheesy.

P.S.

Make The Theme Song Pump-Up one like Red Hot Chili Peppers but in Japanese style

Dude, seriously, what? :confused:

Kamen Rider is Batman of Japan!

You know

Kamen Rider and Batman lost their parent by getting murder or car accident

Kamen Rider is aimed for older kid like Batman

Kamen Rider Knight is the Batman of Japan LOL.

I'm tired of everything being compared to Batman.

I stopped paying attention to his posts a long while back. They make absolutely no sense.

Oh my, why?

Is that the premise of Ichigo?

"THAT'S IT! A grasshopper! I shall take the image of this creature to strike fear into the hearts of these squeaking Cobra Kai Nazis!"

Then that make Kamen Rider Ryuki is Superman of Japan

Never knew Ralph Macchio and Bruce Wayne had a love child who was a Kamen Rider.

I should do this too.

Kabuto is the Superman of Japan since he's so overpowered lol.

Here's some more BS Kamen Rider to DC comparisons

Chalice is the Green Arrow of Japan
Femme is the Wonder Woman of Japan
Aqua is the Aqua man of Japan
Accel's the Flash of Japan
Ichigo and Nigo are the Cyborg of Japan.

I could do this shit all day.

Wait quick question. When was the press conference and stuff for Gaim last year?

Wizard: the Dr. Strange of Japan!
OOO: the B'Wana Beast of Japan!
W: the Green Hornet of Japan!

^^^

I'm loving the W/Green Hornet analogy.

Does that make OOO the Martian Manhunter of Japan because of all his different powers?

He's been like this for quite a long time, on various different tokusatsu forums. It's probably just a language problem.

Hopefully Drive gets some cool speed powers, perhaps with better special effects if Toei cares enough.

Does all of this make Fourze the Green Lantern of Japan?

No, that would be the Toqugers

Let's try to keep this as a speculation thread and not a discussion on who is the equivalent of which super hero. Make a new thread for that :)

is it just me or does that car not remind people of Pegasus Thunder from Carranger?

It's called Pegasus Thunder in the Sentai?! That's such an awesome name.

Yeah it does remind of it too.

All I could think of was http://www.davidsissonmodels.co.uk/scarlet/spc1.jpg

Yes.

British In-Joke!

New set pics, I think we have our first look at Kamen Rider Driver himself, albeit a bit blurry :D

Oh my G-O-S-H, the car still looks cool, and Bandai better make it in their gimmick line.

Also the suit looks not so nice, but holding out for the press release. When was Gaim's last year.

I love that damn car. The suit I can't see well enough to make a decision on one way or another, honestly. But it is awfully red.

That blurry suit looks awesome to me, I hope to see more soon.

hrm... Not sure what to think about the rider as we have so little to go on. But man that guy is RED.

The car looks cool but has to have a transformation gimmick in there some where. Either that or he literally has the WORST spoiler every conceived.

I definitely like the car, and from what I can see of Drive himself I like the overall look of the suit. Can't really make out the helmet that well though, unfortunately.

A part of me is hoping that they bring back the 600 yen Machine Robo toys(or Gobots for the Western world) for this as the key items.

The car appears to be a Honda NSX-T (Acura NSX-T in the US) with some interesting modifications.

The pictures make it hard to tell but I'm thinking it's a T based on the modified roof (easier to do with a removable panel) and what appear to be seal lines in the front and back at the top of the door windows (at the A and B pillars).

Other than the roof, it looks like they've touch just about every panel on the car (hood, rear deck lid, fenders, doors, rear quarters, both bumpers).

What's both interesting and odd about their selection of the NSX as the base car is it's no longer in production and is considered a modern classic. Never sold in large numbers, they can be hard to find in good condition (un-modified, not raced, etc) and weren't cheap.

So they picked a car they can't do cross promotional work with (as it's no longer in production), that was more expensive than many other sports cars and can expensive to repair.

So, yea, interesting but in a fun way. Makes me wonder if we won't see a Toyota Supra, Nissan R34 Skyline or Nisan S15 Silvia later in the series.

You forget that the new Acura NSX is still in development and should be released sometime next year. :P

Cheeda Nick, is that you?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I may pee my pants a little if they bring in some Nissan goodness. What if there's an old 90's Z as well??? Oh man; count me as sold on everything if they go this route!
